Blood relations · solved example
Pointing to a girl, a man said, 'She is the daughter of my grandfather's only son.' How is the girl related to the man?
Solution
The grandfather's only son is the man's own father. The father's daughter is therefore the man's sister.
Letter series · solved example
Find the next term in the series: AZ, BY, CX, ?
Solution
The first letters move forward A, B, C, D, and the second letters move backward Z, Y, X, W. So the next term is DW.
Inequality · solved example
Statements: E ≤ F ≥ D = C ≥ A Conclusions: I. D > C II. E > C Which conclusion(s) definitely follow?
Solution
Reading the chain, conclusion I is not necessarily true and conclusion II is not necessarily true. Hence: neither i nor ii follows.
Ranking · solved example
In a class of 30 students, a boy ranks 11th from the top. What is his rank from the bottom?
Solution
Rank from bottom = total − rank from top + 1 = 30 − 11 + 1 = 20.
