Inequality · solved example
Statements: B ≥ F ≥ A = E Conclusions: I. B < A II. E ≤ B Which conclusion(s) definitely follow?
Solution
Reading the chain, conclusion I is not necessarily true and conclusion II is true. Hence: only ii follows.
Ranking · solved example
In a row of 22 people, A is 3rd from the left end and B is 10th from the right end. How many people sit between A and B?
Solution
Positions occupied from the two ends are 3 and 10; those between them number 22 − 3 − 10 = 9.
Puzzles · solved example
Who sits immediately to the right of S?
Solution
The order is U, R, Q, P, S, T, V from the left, so the person immediately to the right of S is T.
