Ranking · solved example
In a row of 29 people, A is 8th from the left end and B is 8th from the right end. How many people sit between A and B?
- 5
- 21
- 12
- 13Correct
- 14
Solution
Positions occupied from the two ends are 8 and 8; those between them number 29 − 8 − 8 = 13.
Direction sense · solved example
A man walks 3 km due north and then 4 km due east. How far is he from his starting point?
- 6
- 4
- 7
- 5Correct
Solution
The two legs are at right angles, so the straight-line distance is √(3² + 4²) = √25 = 5 km.
Inequality · solved example
Statements: E ≤ F ≥ D = C ≥ A Conclusions: I. D > C II. E > C Which conclusion(s) definitely follow?
- Only I follows
- Only II follows
- Both I and II follow
- Neither I nor II followsCorrect
- Either I or II follows
Solution
Reading the chain, conclusion I is not necessarily true and conclusion II is not necessarily true. Hence: neither i nor ii follows.
