Directions (6 – 10): Each of the questions below consists of a question
and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether
the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question:
6. Among athletes K, L, M, N, O and P, who is the second fastest?
I. O is faster
than P but slower than M, who is slower than K. K is slower than only two
athletes.
II. M is
faster than only two athletes. O is faster than only P. L is faster than K but
not the fastest.
a) The data in Statement I alone is
sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
b) The data in Statement II alone is
sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
c) The data either in Statement I
alone or in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
d) The data in both the Statements I
and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
e) The data in both the Statements I
and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: B)
Explanation:
From I:
__>__>K>__>__>__
M>O>P
Since K>M, we have only one
possibility.
__>__>K>M>O>P
We cannot determine the second
fastest athlete.
From II:
__>__>__>M>__>__ and
__>__>__>__>O>P
So, M>O>P are the bottom three.
Also, L>K but L is not the
fastest.
So, we have,
N>L>K>M>O>P. L is the second fastest.
II alone is sufficient to answer the
question.
7. There are five poles in a ground: P, Q, R, S and T. In which direction
is R with respect to P?
I. R is to the
west of S. S is to the north of T which is to the south of Q. P is to the east
of Q.
II. S is to
the north of Q and Q is to the north of T. R is to the south west of S and P is
to the south east of S.
a) The data in Statement I alone is
sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
b) The data in Statement II alone is
sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
c) The data either in Statement I
alone or in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
d) The data in both the Statements I
and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
e) The data in both the Statements I
and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: D)
Explanation:
8. 6 friends Madhav, Milind, Mohsin, Modak, Murli and Muneesh are sitting
around a circular table facing centre.Who is sitting opposite to Modak?
I. Madhav is
sitting third to right of Milind. Mohsin is sitting third to the left of Modak.
Mohsin is not sitting adjacent to Madhav.
II. Modak has
Madhav and Muneesh as his immediate neighbours. Mohsin is not an immediate
neighbour of Madhav or Muneesh
a) The data in Statement I alone is
sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
b) The data in Statement II alone is
sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
c) The data either in Statement I
alone or in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
d) The data in both the Statements I
and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
e) The data in both the Statements I
and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: C)
Explanation:
9. How is 'robots are smart' written in a code language?
I. In the same
language 'what box code could be' is coded as 'jsn kvr nmu glp yrc', 'I code
data what robots need' is coded as 'okj dnb srd kvr nmu tik' and 'smart are devices'
is coded as 'obt mai ali'.
II. In the
same language 'I code could be smart' is coded as 'jsn glp srd mai kvr',
'robots need test' is coded as 'tik fwm dnb' and 'box need data' is coded as
'yrc dnb okj'
a) The data in Statement I alone is
sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
b) The data in Statement II alone is
sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
c) The data either in Statement I
alone or in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
d) The data in both the Statements I
and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
e) The data in both the Statements I
and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: D)
Explanation:
From I:
'what box code could be' = 'jsn kvr
nmu glp yrc' (i)
'I code data what robots need' = 'okj
dnb srd kvr nmu tik' (ii)
'smart are devices' = 'obt mai ali'
(iii)
The code for none of the words could
be determined.
From II:
'I code could be smart' = 'jsn glp
srd mai kvr' (iv)
'robots need test' = 'tik fwm dnb'
(v)
'box need data' = 'yrc dnb okj' (vi)
The code for none of the words could
be determined.
From I and II:
(iii) & (iv), smart = mai
(v) & (vi), need = dnb
(ii) & (v), robots = tik
However, the code for 'are' cannot be
determined. Hence the data in both the statements is insufficient to answer the
question.
65. Each of A, B, C and D owns a different shoe among NIKE, PUMA, FILA,
UCB. Each shoe is of different colour among red, white yellow, green. Who owns
PUMA shoes and is of which colour?
I. A owns
FILA. B owns a yellow coloured shoe. NIKE is of not green colour.
II. C owns
UCB. D owns a green coloured shoe. FILA is not of white colour.
a) If the data in statement I alone
are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are
not sufficient to answer the question
b) If the data in statement II alone
are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are
not sufficient to answer the question
c) If the data either in statement I
alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
d) If the data in both statements I
and II together are necessary to answer the question
e) If the data given in both
statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question
Answer: D)
Explanation:
From I:
A
|
FILA
|
|
B
|
YELLOW
|
|
NIKE
|
NOT GREEN
|
|
From II:
C
|
UCB
|
|
D
|
GREEN
|
|
FILA
|
NOT WHITE
|
|
No statement alone is sufficient to
answer the question. By combining both we get the following:
A
|
FILA
|
|
B
|
YELLOW
|
|
C
|
UCB
|
|
D
|
GREEN
|
Since NIKE is not of green, it is of
yellow colour. Since FILA is not of white it is of red colour. Thus, we have:
A
|
FILA
|
RED
|
B
|
NIKE
|
YELLOW
|
C
|
UCB
|
WHITE
|
D
|
PUMA
|
GREEN
