Reasoning Ability · solved example

In these questions the symbols are used with the following meanings: A @ B means A is greater than B. A # B means A is greater than or equal to B. A $ B means A is smaller than B. A & B means A is smaller than or equal to B. A * B means A is equal to B.

Statements: M # N, N * O, O $ P. Conclusions: I. M # O. II. P @ N.

Only conclusion I is true
Only conclusion II is true
Either I or II is true
Neither I nor II is true
Both I and II are trueCorrect

Solution

Decoding: M is greater than or equal to N, N equals O, and O < P. Since N equals O, M is greater than or equal to O - conclusion I. And P > O equals N, so P > N, that is P @ N - conclusion II. Both are true.

Reasoning Ability · solved example

In a row of 40 students, Rahul is twelfth from the left end and Sneha sits seven places to the right of Rahul. What is Sneha's position from the right end?

20th
21st
22ndCorrect
23rd
24th

Solution

Rahul is twelfth from the left, so Sneha, seven places to his right, is nineteenth from the left. To convert a position from one end to the other, subtract from the total and add one: 40 minus 19 plus 1 gives 22. Forgetting the plus one is the standard error and produces 21, which is offered as an option. The check is that the two positions must sum to one more than the total, and 19 plus 22 is 41.
