ComprehensionDIRECTIONS for the question: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.The Humanities department of a college is planning to organize eight seminars, one for each of the eight doctoral students - A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Four of them are from Economics, three from Sociology and one from Anthropology department. Each student is guided by one among P, Q, R, S and T. Two students are guided by each of P, R and T, while one student is guided by each of Q and S. Each student is guided by a guide belonging to their department.Each seminar is to be scheduled in one of four consecutive 30-minute slots starting at 9:00am, 9:30 am, 10:00 am and 10:30 am on the same day. More than one seminars can be scheduled in a slot, provided the guide is free. Only three rooms are available and hence at the most three seminars can be Scheduled in a slot. Students who are guided by the same guide must be scheduled in consecutive slots.The following additional facts are also known.1. Seminars by students from Economics are scheduled in each of the four slots.2. A’s is the only seminar that is scheduled at 10:00 am. A is guided by R.3. F is an Anthropology student whose seminar is scheduled at 10:30 am.4. The seminar of a Sociology student is scheduled at 9:00 am.5. B and G are both Sociology students, whose seminars are scheduled in the same slot. The seminar of an Economics student, who is guided by T, is also scheduled in the same slot.6. P, who is guiding both B and C, has students scheduled in the first two slots.7. A and G are scheduled in two consecutive slots.1. P, Q and S2. P, R and S3. Q, R and S4. P, Q and R |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : P, Q and S EXPLANATION: A number of students we have - A B C D E F G H. The guides are P Q R S T and they mentor 2,1, 2, 1, 2 students respectively. Slots are 09:00, 09:30, 10:00, 10:30. Moreover, economics, sociology, and anthropology have 4, 3, 1 students respectively. Now from the 5th statement, two sociology seminars and economics seminars are held in the same slot. This will not take place at 10:00(only one seminar is scheduled at 10:00), this will also not take place at 10:30 (An anthropology seminar is scheduled at 10:30 and a maximum of three seminars are scheduled in a slot. Hence this will happen at either 9 or 9:30. Now from (7), A and G are scheduled in consecutive slots. A is scheduled at 10:00. Hence G will be scheduled at 9:30. SO from (5), there will be three students having their seminars at 9:30. Combining this data with the remaining points we get the following table As we can see above table P,Q and S are not guiding any economics students.

Only (i)2. Both (i) and (ii)3. Only (ii)4. Neither (i) nor (ii) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Both (i) and (ii) EXPLANATION:
Moreover, we do know that students having the same subject are scheduled in consecutive slots. So we get
Now D is scheduled in a slot later than Q. Q can mentor only F or G, but obviously, he can't mentor F because F is in the last slot, hence Q will mentor G. In that scenario D has to take the 10:30 slot which means D will be mentored by R and E/H will be mentored by T. So statement 1 and statement 2 both are correct. |

ComprehensionDIRECTIONS for the question: Go through the graph and the information given below and answer the question that follows.In an election several candidates contested for a constituency. In any constituency, the winning candidate was the one who polled the highest number of votes, the first runner up was the one who polled the second highest number of votes, the second runner up was the one who polled the third highest number of votes, and so on. There were no ties (in terms of number of votes polled by the candidates) in any of the constituencies in this election.In an electoral system, a security deposit is the sum of money that a candidate is required to pay to the election commission before he or she is permitted to contest. Only the defeated candidates (i.e., one who is not the winning candidate) who fail to secure more than one sixth of the valid votes polled in the constituency, lose their security deposits. The following table provides some incomplete information about votes polled in four constituencies: A,B, C and D, in this election. Constituency ABCDNo. of candidates contesting101258Total No. of valid votes polled5,00,0003,25,0006,00,030 No. of votes polled by thewinning candidate2,75,000 48,750 No. of votes polled by the firstrunner up95,000 37,500No. of votes polled by thesecond runner up 30,000% of valid votes polled by thethird runner up 10%The following additional facts are known:1. The first runner up polled 10,000 more votes than the second runner up in constituency A.2. None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit. The difference in votes polled by any pair of candidates in this constituency was at least 10,000.3. The winning candidate in constituency D polled 5% of valid votes more than that of the first runner up. All the candidates who lost their security deposits while contesting for this constituency, put together, polled 35% of the valid votes. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» EXPLANATION: As it is given in the question that the first runner-up polled 10,000 more votes than the second runner-up in constituency A. Now the first runner-up has got 95000 votes, hence the second runner-up will get 85000 votes. Therefore the remaining votes will be 500000 - 275000 - 95000 - 85000 = 45000 As per the second additional point given, None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit. The difference in votes polled by any pair of candidates in this constituency was at least 10,000 ⇒ The person who got the 5th highest votes must have got greater than 600030/6 = 100006. As it is also given that the difference of votes is greater than 10000, the only possible case is winner, 1st runner up, 2nd runner up, 3rd runner up, 4th runner up must have got 140006,130006,120006,110006,100006 respectively which sums up to exactly 600030. Let the number of votes polled in D be 100x. From 3, The winning candidate in constituency D must have got 15x + 37500 The table now looks like this:
Total votes in A = 500000 ∴ The candidates who got less than equal to 83333 must have lost their security deposits and candidates till 2nd runner-up didn't lose their deposit ⇒ All the candidates who received 500000 - 275000 - 95000 - 85000 = 45000 lost their deposits. |

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1,40,006 EXPLANATION: As it is given in the question that the first runner-up polled 10,000 more votes than the second runner-up in constituency A. Now the first runner-up has got 95000 votes, hence the second runner-up will get 85000 votes. Therefore the remaining votes will be 500000 - 275000 - 95000 - 85000 = 45000 As per the second additional point given, None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit. The difference in votes polled by any pair of candidates in this constituency was at least 10,000 ⇒ the person who got the 5th highest votes must have got greater than 600030/6 ⇒ 100006. As it is also given that the difference of votes is greater than 10000, the only possible case is winner, 1st runner up, 2nd runner up, 3rd runner up, 4th runner up must have got 140006,130006,120006,110006,100006 respectively which sums up to exactly 600030. Let the number of votes polled in D be 100x. From 3, The winning candidate in constituency D must have got 15x + 37500 The table now looks like this:
The number of votes polled to the winning candidate must be 140006. |

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1,75,000 EXPLANATION: As it is given in the question that the first runner-up polled 10,000 more votes than the second runner-up in constituency A. Now the first runner-up has got 95000 votes, hence the second runner-up will get 85000 votes. Therefore the remaining votes will be 500000 - 275000 - 95000 - 85000 = 45000 As per the second additional point given, None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : B, C, D, A EXPLANATION: As it is given in the question that the first runner-up polled 10,000 more votes than the second runner-up in constituency A. Now the first runner-up has got 95000 votes, hence the second runner-up will get 85000 votes. Therefore the remaining votes will be 500000 - 275000 - 95000 - 85000 = 45000 As per the second additional point given, None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit. The difference in votes polled by any pair of candidates in this constituency was at least 10,000 ⇒ The person who got the 5th highest votes must have got greater than 600030/6 = 100006. As it is also given that the difference of votes is greater than 10000, the only possible case is winner, 1st runner up, 2nd runner up, 3rd runner up, 4th runner up must have got 140006,130006,120006,110006,100006 respectively which sums up to exactly 600030. Let the number of votes polled in D be 100x. From 3, The winning candidate in constituency D must have got 15x + 37500 The table now looks like this:
As we have seen in the previous question, candidate D got 175000 votes. The winner got 5% more votes than the first runner up, hence the winner got 0.05 × 175000 = 8750 more votes than the first runner-up. Thus 8750 is the winning margin for constituency D. Moreover margin in the constituency is at least 10000. Hence in the increasing order C will always come after D which is not happening in the third option. Hence that is the correct answer. |

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 23.91% EXPLAINATION: As it is given in the question that the first runner-up polled 10,000 more votes than the second runner-up in constituency A. Now the first runner-up has got 95000 votes, hence the second runner-up will get 85000 votes. Therefore the remaining votes will be 500000 - 275000 - 95000 - 85000 = 45000 As per the second additional point given, None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit. The difference in votes polled by any pair of candidates in this constituency was at least 10,000 ⇒ The person who got the 5th highest votes must have got greater than 600030/6 = 100006. As it is also given that the difference of votes is greater than 10000, the only possible case is winner, 1st runner up, 2nd runner up, 3rd runner up, 4th runner up must have got 140006,130006,120006,110006,100006 respectively which sums up to exactly 600030. Let the number of votes polled in D be 100x. From 3, The winning candidate in constituency D must have got 15x + 37500 The table now looks like this:
The candidates who didn't lose the deposit must have got less than 16.67% ⇒ 3rd runner-up must surely didn't get the deposit. Also, the candidates who got security deposit must have got 65% of the votes. Case I: Let top three candidates got the security deposit ⇒ 37500 + 5x + 37500 + 30000 = 65x ⇒ x = 1750 ⇒ 100x = 175000 Case II: Let top three candidates got the security deposit ⇒ 37500 + 5x + 37500 = 65x ⇒ 60x = 1250 ⇒ x = 125000 but 16.66% of 125000 = 20834 ⇒ 2nd runner up must got security deposit. So, this case is not valid. For all the constituencies let's look at the candidates who lost their security deposit. A (500000 - 275000 - 95000 - 85000) = 45000. B (325000 - 48750) = 276250 C (0) and D (61250) = 175000 - 46250 - 30000 - 37500 Hence percentage will be 382500/1600000x100 = 23.91% |

ComprehensionDIRECTIONS for the question: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.A shopping mall has a large basement parking lot with parking slots painted in it along a single row. These slots are quite narrow; a compact car can fit in a single slot but an SUV requires two slots. When a car arrives, the parking attendant guides the car to the first available slot from the beginning of the row into which the car can fit.For our purpose, cars are numbered according to the order in which they arrive at the lot. For example, the first car to arrive is given a number 1, the second a number 2, and so on. This numbering does not indicate whether a car is a compact or an SUV. The configuration of a parking lot is a sequence of the car numbers in each slot. Each single vacant slot is represented by letter V.For instance, suppose cars numbered 1 through 5 arrive and park, where cars 1, 3 and 5 are compact cars and 2 and 4 are SUVs. At this point, the parking lot would be described by the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. If cars 2 and 5 now vacate their slots, the parking lot would now be described as 1, V, V, 3, 4. If a compact car (numbered 6) arrives subsequently followed by an SUV (numbered 7), the parking lot would be described by the sequence 1, 6, V, 3, 4, 7.Answer the following questions INDEPENDENTLY of each other.1. Car 3 is an SUV2. Car 5 is a compact3. Car 4 is a compact4. Car 1 is an SUV |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Car 3 is an SUV EXPLANATION: The original sequence as per question is 4, 5, 6, V, 3. But this is possible only when cars 1,2,3 arrived and then cars 1 and 2 left. After that cars 4,5 and 6 arrive. Now out of these 4 slots, 3 slots are occupied by cars 4, 5, and 6. As a result, these are compact cars. Car 3 can be an SUV or a Compact car and it won't impact the final solution. |

ComprehensionDIRECTIONS for the question: Study the following information carefully and answer the given question.The Hi-Lo game is a four-player game played in six rounds. In every round, each player chooses to bid Hi or Lo. The bids are made simultaneously. If all four bid Hi, then all four lose 1 point each. If three players bid Hi and one bids Lo, then the players bidding Hi gain 1 point each and the player bidding Lo loses 3 points. If two players bid Hi and two bid Lo, then the players bidding Hi gain 2 points each and the players bidding Lo lose 2 points each. If one player bids Hi and three bid Lo, then the player bidding Hi gains 3 points and the players bidding Lo lose 1 point each. If all four bid Lo, then all four gain 1 point each.Four players Arun, Bankim, Charu, and Dipak played the Hi-Lo game. The following facts are known about their game:1. At the end of three rounds, Arun had scored 6 points, Dipak had scored 2 points, Bankim and Charu had scored -2 points each.2. At the end of six rounds, Arun had scored 7 points, Bankim and Dipak had scored -1 point each, and Charu had scored -5 points.3. Dipak’s score in the third round was less than his score in the first round but was more than his score in the second round.4. In exactly two out of the six rounds, Arun was the only player who bid Hi. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» EXPLANATION: As per the information given in the question, we can see that the points scored by the players in a round have the following possibilities: Case 2- HHHL: (1, 1, 1, -3) Case 3- HHLL: (2, 2, -2, -2) Case 4- HLLL: (3, -1, -1, -1) We also know that the total points scored can only be -4 or 0 or 4 by the four players in a round. From statement (1), the total points scored by the four players combined in the first three rounds is 6 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 4 Also, from statement (1) we can say in the first three rounds, Arun scored 6 points and from statement (2), Arun scored 7 points at the end of round 6. Hence, in the 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds, he must have scored 1 point. From statement (4), Arun scored 3 points in exactly 2 rounds. ∴ We can say these two rounds cannot both be among the 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds because he scored a net of only 1 point in these three rounds combined. ∴ They must have scored (1, 1, 1, 1).
In the next three rounds, from statement (1) and statement (2), Arun must have scored 1 point, Bankim must have scored 1 point, Charu must have scored - 3 points and Dipak must have scored - 3 points.

||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Hi, Lo, Lo, Hi EXPLANATION: As per the information given in the question, we can see that the points scored by the players in a round have the following possibilities: Case 2- HHHL: (1, 1, 1, -3) Case 3- HHLL: (2, 2, -2, -2) Case 4- HLLL: (3, -1, -1, -1) We also know that the total points scored can only be -4 or 0 or 4 by the four players in a round. From statement (1), the total points scored by the four players combined in the first three rounds is 6 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 4 Also, from statement (1) we can say in the first three rounds, Arun scored 6 points and from statement (2), Arun scored 7 points at the end of round 6. Hence, in the 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds, he must have scored 1 point. From statement (4), Arun scored 3 points in exactly 2 rounds. ∴ We can say these two rounds cannot both be among the 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds because he scored a net of only 1 point in these three rounds combined. ∴ They must have scored (1, 1, 1, 1).

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : {4, 5, 6, 7, 8} EXPLANATION:
Let assume one of the patients, patient 1 or patient 16 has the disease and his blood is mixed with others then all 8 vials will tests positive.
Therefore 8 has to be one of the answers. If patient 2 and patients 16's blood is mixed of one of them has the disease then 7 of the 8 vials will test positive. So 7 has to be there in the option. If 1 has the disease and 1, 7 are mixed then 6 out of the 8 vials test positive. If 1 has the disease and 1, 9 are mixed then 5 of the 8 vials tests positive, Now, let us assume that patient 1 has the disease if his blood is not mixed, then 4 vials will definitely show positive.
