DIRECTIONS for the question 3 to 5: In the question, two or three statements are given. These statements are marked (A) and (B), followed by two conclusions, based on the statements that can logically be drawn from the statements. Even if the statements vary from well known facts, assume them to be true. Choose the best alternative from the answer choices numbered (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below.
Statements:
1. Some spaniels are not good hunters.
2. All spaniels are gentle dogs.
Conclusions
I.Therefore no gentle dogs are good hunters.
II.Therefore good hunter dogs are not gentle.
Which of the statement(s) is/are conclusion(s)?
I only
II only
Both I and II
Neither I nor II
Answer: Option D.
Since some spaniels are not good hunters and all spaniels are gentle dogs, then some of the gentle dogs who are
spaniels are not good hunters and the others are. So neither conclusion is valid.
Statements:
1.Some snakes are dangerous animals.
2.But all snakes are reptiles.
Conclusions:
I.Therefore some dangerous animals are not reptiles.
II.Therefore some reptiles are not dangerous animals.
I only
II only
Both I and II
Neither I nor II
Answer: Option D.
Since the given statements are both affirmative, the conclusion cannot be negative. Thus neither conclusion follows.
Statements:
1.If anything is expensive it is both valuable and rare.
2.Whatever is valuable is desirable and expensive.
Conclusions:
I.Therefore anything rare and expensive is desirable.
II.Therefore if anything is either valuable or expensive then it must be both valuable and expensive.
Which of the statement(s) is/are conclusion(s)?
I only
II only
Both I and II
Neither I nor II
Answer: Option C.
If all expensive are valuable and rare and all valuable are desirable and expensive so it can be related to e.g. all X are Y and all Y are X which means basically X and Y are represented by one circle only. So, all rare and expensive are desirable and all valuable or expensive are both valuable and expensive. So, we can conclude that both conclusions are true.
DIRECTIONS for the question 6:What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number/alphabetic series?
S A K , Q B L , O D M , ?
N G M
M H J
P J H
M G N
Answer: Option D.
Here the first letter of each term is moved two step backward to get the first letter of next term. So for missing term, it will be M The second letter of 1st, 2nd and 3rd terms are respectively moved one, two and three steps forward to obtain the corresponding letter of next term. So, for missing term it is G. The third letter of each term is moved one step forward to get next term. Thus, third letter of missing term is N. Hence, the answer becomes MGN.
