3. Six friends P, Q, R, S, T and U were standing in a queue of school assembly. Certainly, they found that they are not standing height-wise. In order to stand height wise, they found out that Q is taller than S, who is taller than only one person. R is taller than T, who is not taller than Q. U is taller than neither P nor Q. T is not the shortest person. Neither P nor Q is the tallest person. P is shorter than Q. They also noticed that no two persons have same height. Then, who among the following is standing just in front of T if they are standing in descending order of their heights starting from front end to back end?

A. P

B. Q

C. T

D. Cannot be determined

E. None of these

Show Correct Answers

D. Cannot be determined

Now, Q is taller than S, who is taller than only one person. Now, R is taller than T. So, R cannot be shortest. U is taller than neither P nor Q. So, neither P nor Q is the shortest. And, T is not the shortest. So, U must be the shortest person. Now, T is not taller than Q and Q is not the tallest. So, Q can be second tallest or third tallest. R is the tallest person as neither P nor Q is tallest. P is shorter than Q. So,

R > Q > T/P > P/T > S > U

So, either P or Q must be standing in front of T, if they are standing in descending order.

4. There are six members A, B, C, D, E, and F in a three generation family. Only one member is there in 3rd generation. A is the daughter-in-law of B. E is the only daughter of D. C is the grandfather of E. F is brother-in-law of A. Who among the following is the uncle of E?

A. A

B. F

C. B

D. C

E. None of these

Show Correct Answers

B. F

C is the grandfather of E. So, C and E must be in 1st and 3rd generation respectively. A is the daughter-in-law of B. So, A and B must be in 2nd and 1stgeneration respectively. Now, F is brother-in-law of A. E is the only daughter of D. So, F and D must be brothers. B must be the wife of C.

5. By showing a photograph to Dinesh, Sundar said, “He is the father of mother of son of the brother-in-law of your father’s sister, Ayesha.” Ayesha is unmarried. How is the person in the photograph related to Dinesh?

Son of Husband of aunt of Dinesh => Cousin of Dinesh

Mother of Dinesh’s cousin => Paternal aunt of Dinesh

Father of paternal aunt of Dinesh is grandfather of Dinesh.

Direction (6-10) In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion(s)among given three conclusions is /are definitely true and then give your answer accordingly.

6. Statements: 5 < 9; 6 ≥ 9; 6 < 8; 3 < 8; 3 > 1; 2 = 1

Conclusions:

I. 6 > 3

II. 8 > 2

III. 5 ≤ 8

A. Only conclusion I is true

B. Only conclusion II is true

C. Only conclusion III is true

D. Both conclusions I and II are true

E. All conclusions I, II and III are true

Show Correct Answers

B. Only conclusion II is true

Given statements: 5 < 9; 6 ≥ 9; 6 < 8; 3 < 8; 3 > 1; 2 = 1

On combining: 5 < 9 ≤ 6 < 8 > 3 > 1 = 2

Conclusions:

I. 6 > 3 –> False (as 6 < 8 > 3 → relationship between 6 and 3 cannot be determined)

II. 8 > 2 –> True (as 8 > 3 > 1 = 2 → 8 > 2)

III. 5 ≤ 8 –> False (as 5 < 9 ≤ 6 < 8 → 5 < 8)

So, conclusion II follows.

7. Statements: 1 < 8; 8 ≥ 4; 4 ≥ 6; 4 ≥ 7; 6 ≥ 2

Conclusions:

I. 8 > 2

II. 7 ≤ 6

III. 2 = 8

A. Only conclusion I is true

B. Only conclusion II is true

C. Only conclusion III is true

D. Either conclusion I or III is true

E. None of the conclusions is true

Show Correct Answers

D. Either conclusion I or III is true

Given statements: 1 < 8; 8 ≥ 4; 4 ≥ 6; 4 ≥ 7; 6 ≥ 2

On combining: 1 < 8 ≥ 4 ≥ 7; 4 ≥ 6 ≥ 2

Conclusions:

I. 8 > 2 –> Can be true if 8 = 2 is false (as 8 ≥ 4 and 4 ≥ 6 ≥ 2 → 8 ≥ 2)

II. 7 ≤ 6 –> False (as 7 ≤ 4 ≥ 6 → Relationship between 7 and 6 cannot be determined)

III. 2 = 8 –> Can be true if 8 > 2 is false (as 8` ≥ 4 and 4 ≥ 6 ≥ 2 → 8 ≥ 2)

Conclusions I and III form a corresponding pair and hence either conclusion I or III follo

8. Statements:

5 = 9; 4 ≤ 9; 2 > 4; 2 = 7; 7 ≤ 3; 6 = 3

Conclusions:

I. 4 ≥ 3

II. 5 > 7

III. 6 > 4

A. Only conclusion III is true

B. Only conclusion I is true

C. Only conclusion II is true

D. Both conclusions I and II are true

E. None of the conclusions is true

Show Correct Answers

A. Only conclusion III is true

Given statements: 5 = 9; 4 ≤ 9; 2 > 4; 2 = 7; 7 ≤ 3; 6 = 3

On combining: 5 = 9 ≥ 4 < 2 = 7 ≤ 3 = 6

Conclusions:

I. 4 ≥ 3 –> False (as 4 < 2 = 7 ≤ 3 → 4 < 3)

II. 5 > 7 –> False (as 5 > 4 < 7 → thus clear relation between 5 and 7 cannot be determined)

III. 6 > 4 –> True (as 4 < 2 = 7 ≤ 3 = 6 → 6 > 4)

So, only conclusion III follows.

9. Statements: 7 ≥ 5 ≥ 2; 8 > 3 ≥ 7; 7 ≥ 1

Conclusions:

I. 3 > 2

II. 2 = 3

III. 8 > 5

A. None of the conclusions is true

B. Only conclusion III is true

C. Only conclusion III and either conclusion I or II are true

D. Either conclusion I or II is true

E. Both conclusions I and II are true

Show Correct Answers

C. Only conclusion III and either conclusion I or II are true

Given statements: 7 ≥ 5 ≥ 2; 8 > 3 ≥ 7; 7 ≥ 1

On combining: 8 > 3 ≥ 7 ≥ 1; 7 ≥ 5 ≥ 2

Conclusions:

I. 3 > 2 –> Can be true (As 3 ≥ 7 and 7 ≥ 5 ≥ 2 → 3 ≥ 7 ≥ 5 ≥ 2 → 3 ≥ 2)

II. 2 = 3 –> Can be true (As 3 ≥ 7 and 7 ≥ 5 ≥ 2 → 3 ≥ 7 ≥ 5 ≥ 2 → 3 ≥ 2)

III. 8 > 5 –> True (As 8 > 3 ≥ 7 and 7 ≥ 5 → 8 > 3 ≥ 7 ≥ 5 → 8 > 5)

Conclusions I and II form corresponding pair as 3 > 2 or 3 = 2 and therefore, either conclusion I or II can be true but conclusion III is definitely true.

10. Statements: 3 ≥ 9 < 4; 1 < 5 ≥ 3 ≤ 7

Conclusions:

I. 1 > 9

II. 7 ≤ 5

III. 5 ≥ 4

A. None of the conclusions is true

B. Either conclusion II or III is true

C. Only conclusion I is true

D. Both conclusions I and II are true

E. Only conclusion II is true

Show Correct Answers

A. None of the conclusions is true

Given statements: 3 ≥ 9 < 4; 1 < 5 ≥ 3 ≤ 7

Conclusions:

I. 1 > 9 –> False (as 1 < 5 > 3 and 3 ≥ 9 → 1 < 5 > 3 ≥ 9 → clear relation between 1 and 9 cannot be determined)

II. 7 ≤ 5 –> False (as 5 ≥ 3 but 3 ≤ 7 → clear relation between 5 and 7 cannot be determined)

III. 5 ≥ 4 –> False (as 5 ≥ 3 and 3 ≥ 9 < 4 → 5 ≥ 9 < 4 → clear relation between 5 and 4 cannot be determined)

So, none of the conclusions true.
