Question 1
1 / -0

Directions: Read the following information carefully to answer the given question.

A, B, C, D and E are five friends. A is shorter than B but taller than E. C is the tallest. D is shorter than B but taller than A.

Which of the five friends has two persons taller than him/her and two persons shorter than him/her?

A
A

B
B

C
E

D
D

Solution

A is shorter than B but taller than E. So, we have: E < A < B
D is shorter than B but taller than A. So, A < D < B
Since C is the tallest, we get:
E < A < D < B < C
Clearly, D lies in the middle.
Question 2
1 / -0

Directions: Read the following information carefully to answer the given question.

Five children were administered psychological tests to know their intellectual levels. In the report, psychologists pointed out that child A was less intelligent than child B, child C was less intelligent than child D, child B was less intelligent than child C and child A was more intelligent than child E.

Which child was the most intelligent?

A
A

B
E

C
D

D
Cannot be determined

Solution

We have: A < B, C < D, B < C and E < A.
So, the sequence becomes: E < A < B < C < D.
Clearly, child D was the most intelligent.
Question 3
1 / -0

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question.

In a shop, there were 4 dolls (A, B, C and D) of different heights. D is neither as tall as A nor as short as C. B is shorter than D, but taller than C. If Mani wants to purchase the tallest doll, then which of the following dolls should she purchase?

A
A

B
D

C
Either A or D

D
Either B or D

E
B

Solution

The arrangement in decreasing order of heights is A > D > B > C.
A is the tallest doll. Hence, option (1) is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question.

I. P is taller than Q.
II. R is shorter than P.
III. S is taller than T, but shorter than Q.

Who among them is the tallest?

A
P

B
Q

C
S

D
T

E
None of these

Solution

We have P > Q, P > R and Q > S > T.
Thus, P > Q > S > T and P > R.
Clearly, P is taller than each one of Q, R, S and T.
So, P is the tallest.
Question 5

Directions: Read the following statements carefully and answer the question below.

I. X is older than L.
II. M and N are the same age.

V. Y is older than X.

Which two statements indicate that Y is older than L?

A
I and IV

B
IV and V

C
I and V

D
None of these

Solution

From I, we have X > L.
From II, we have M = N.
From III, we have that Z is the youngest.
From IV, we have N > Y.
From V, we have Y > X.
From I and V, we have Y > X > L or Y > L.
Question 6
1 / -0

Directions: Read the following statements carefully and answer the question below.

I. X is older than L.
II. M and N are the same age.
III. Z is the youngest.
IV. Y is younger than N.
V. Y is older than X.

Which statement(s) indicate(s) that N is older than Z?

A
II and III

B
III only

C
III and IV

D
None of these

Solution

Since III mentions that Z is the youngest, therefore each one of X, L, M, N and Y is older than Z.
Question 7
1 / -0

Directions: Read the following statements carefully to answer the question that follows.

I. X is older than L.
II. M and N are the same age.
III. Z is the youngest.

A
Only III

B
Both III and IV

C
Both IV and V

D
Both III and V

Solution

From I, II, IV and V, we have
M = N > Y > X > L, i.e. M > L. Thus, L is younger than M. So, III is not required.

Directions: Read the following information carefully to answer the given question.

Six people - Rohit, Suneet, Deepak, Vikas, Kanak and Manick - were all born on the same day of the year, but each was born in a different year, during a single six-year period.

If Manick is the eldest in the group, then which of the following must be true?

A
Deepak was born in 1964.

B
Rohit was born in 1962.

C
Vikas was born in 1961.

D
Suneet was born in 1961.

Solution

Since Manick is the oldest, so he was born in 1960.
Now, Manick is 2 years older than Vikas.
So, Vikas was born in 1962.
Thus, Rohit was born in 1963.
Since Suneet is older than Vikas, so Suneet was born in 1961.
Now, Deepak and Kanak must have been born in either 1964 or 1965, but it cannot be exactly determined from given data.
