By | January 29, 2016

Directions(1-5): In these questions relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by conclusions. You have to find out which of the conclusions logically follows from the given statements.

1). Statements: X ≤ Y, Y ≥ W, W < P, P ≤ M Conclusions: I. M > W         II. P > X          III. X ≤ M
a)    Only I follows
b)    Only II follows
c)    Only III follows
d)    Only I and III follow
e)    None of these

2). Statements: P ≥ Q, N ≤ S, Q > N, S < T Conclusions: I. T > Q           II. P ≥ S
                        III. Q > T        IV. P > N
a)    Only I and II follow
b)    Only I, II and III follow
c)    Only III and IV follow
d)    Only II, III and IV follow
e)    None of these

3). Statements: C < Q, Q ≤ J, J > E, E ≥ I
Conclusions: I. I < Q            II. I < J                         III. Q < E        IV. J > C
a)    Only I, II and III follow
b)    Only II, III and IV follow
c)    Only I, III and IV follow
d)    All I, II III and IV follow
e)    None of these

4). Statements: X ≥ Y = Z ≤ A < B > C
Conclusions: I. C < Z                       II. B < Y a)    Only I follows b)    Only II follows c)    Only either I or II follows d)    Neither I nor II follows e)    Both  I and II follow 5). Statements: P < Q ≤ R < S < T Conclusions: I. R ≤ P                      II. T > R
a)    Only I follows
b)    Only II follows
c)    Only either I or II follows
d)    Both follow
e)    None follows

Directions(06-10): In these questions relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. Give Answer

a)    If only conclusion I follows.
b)    If only conclusion II follows
c)    If either conclusion I or II follows
d)    If neither conclusion I nor II follows
e)    If both conclusion I and II follow

6). Statements:  L > M > N, N > P > R, R ≤ B ≤ O
Conclusions: I. M ≥ R          II. N > B

7). Statements: X = B, B < Z, Y = X, Z > X
Conclusions: I. Z = Y           II. Z > Y

8). Statements: A > B, Z ≤ B, Z = W, M > W
Conclusions: I. B = W          II. B > W

9). Statements: P ≥ Q = X ≤ Y < Z Conclusions: I. X ≤ P           II. Z > X

10). Statements:      A = B, C ≥ G, G ≥ A, A ≥ P
Conclusions: I. G ≥ B          II. C ≥ P

Answers:
1).a)   2).e)   3).e)   4).d)   5).b)   6).d)   7).b)   8).c)   9).e)   10).e)
