Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
1) Answer: C
From Statement I:Â As all the members were not included in the statement we can not decide who is youngest.
From Statement II:Â As all the members were not included in the statement we can not decide who is youngest.
From Statement III:As all the members were not included in the statement we can not decide who is youngest.
Combining Statement I and II:There is no information about Daya we cant decide who is youngest.
Combining Statement II and III:
And Deepa is the youngest. So we can decide that Daya is the youngest member of the family.
2) Answer: C
From Statement I:Â There is only one floor between the floors on which floor Rupa and Raj are living. Hina is living on an even numbered floor.
This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From Statement II:Gopi is not living on an even numbered floor. Raj is living on an even numbered floor. Raj is not living on the top floor
This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From Statement III:Rani is living on an odd numbered floor. There are two floors between the floor on which Rani and Hina are living. Gopi is living immediately above Rupa.
This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Combining I and II Statements:
So, either Hina or Rupa lives on an even numbered floor, but, as we are not clear so, this combination is not able to answer the question.
Combining II and III statements:
Clearly we can see that in Case 3 there is no space for Gopi and Rupa to accomodate.
In cases 1 and 2, Tolu lives on an even numbered floor which violates the first reference.
Only case 2A satisfies all the conditions.
So, Hina lives on the top-most floor.
Statement (II) and Statement (III) together are sufficient.
3) Answer: C
From statement (i), C is in the north of P and R is in the west of C.
Hence, concluded that R is in North-West of P.
From statement (ii), Q is in west of P and R is in the North of Q.
Hence, concluded that R is in North-West of P.
From statement (iii), R is in the north-west direction of P.
So, all three statements are individually correct.
Hence, either statement (i) alone or statement (ii) alone or statement (iii) alone is sufficient to answer the question.
4) Answer: D
From Statement I: C, T > L, U; We can’t decide the oldest.
From Statement II: C > Q >L ; We can’t decide the oldest
Combining Statements I and II:
As, there is no relation between T and C we cant decide who is oldest.
5) Answer: E
From Statement I: We can’t decide the code for walks
From Statement II:We can’t decide the code for walks
Combining Statements I and II: we can eleminate ‘she’ and ‘fast’ then walks is coded as to.
Hence data in both the Statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.
Directions (6 – 8):
Â
6) Answer: C
7) Answer: D
8) Answer: D
9) Answer: E
It can’t be a better course of action to convert the Internet Cafe into Coffee Cafe. Also, a new project at the place of internet cafe after diminishing it can’t be a rational course of action. More investment in loss making project is also not rational without a strong strategy, and the 4th statement is illogical – not a good course of action.
10) Answer: E
All the statements have the additional information which can’t be generally assumed.
