DIRECTIONS for the questions 7 to 10 : Use the information given below to answer these questions.
The office staff of the XYZ Corporation presently consists of three book keepers (A, B and C) and five secretaries (D, E, F, G, and H). Management is planning to open a new office in another city using three secretaries and two book keepers of the present staff. To do so they plan to separate certain individuals who do not function well together. The following guidelines were established to set up the new office:
(i) Book keepers A and C are constantly finding fault with one another and should not be sent as a team to the new office.
(ii) C and E function well alone but not as a team. They should be separated.
(iii) D and G have not been on speaking terms for many months. They should not go together.
(iv) Since D and F have been competing for promotion, they should not be a team.
  1. If A is to be moved as one of the book keepers, which of the following CANNOT be a possible working unit?
    1. ABDEH
    2. ABDGH
    3. ABEFH
    4. ABEGH

    Answer:  Option B
    Book Keepers Secretaries
    A, B, C D, E, F, G, H
    Now A X C [A can not go with C]
    C X E
    D X G
    D X F
    So if we look, the 2nd option ABDGH, G is present with D which is not possible. Option B.
  2. If C and F are moved to the new office, how many combinations are possible?
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4

    Answer: Option A
    If we take C and F, then A can not appear, so B will be always present.
    If C comes then E will not come. If F comes then D will not come.
    Hence only one combination, BCFGH is possible. Option A.
  3. If C is sent to the new office which member of the staff CANNOT go with C?
    1. B
    2. D
    3. F
    4. G

    Answer:  Option B
    If C comes then A and E won't come. If D appears, then F & G both can't appear. So D will not come. Option B.
  4. Under the guidelines developed, which of the following MUST go to the new office?
    1. B
    2. D
    3. E
    4. G

    Answer:  Option A
    B has to go because out of the two other book keepers A & C, only 1 can come, and we need 2 Book Keepers. Option A.
