In each of the questions below are given some statements followed by two conclusions. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements:
Only a few Apple are Orange. Only a Few Grapes are Papaya. No Orange is papaya.
Conclusion:
I. Some Apple are not grapes
II. Some grapes are not Orange
● Correct

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (B) If only conclusion II follows
Explanation
From the statement "Only a few Grapes are Papaya", it is definite that some Grapes are Papaya. Since "No Orange is Papaya", that specific portion of Grapes that overlaps with Papaya cannot be Orange. Therefore, "Some grapes are not Orange" is definitely true. Conclusion I does not follow because there is no direct negative relationship given between Apple and Grapes.

II. Some Correct are True
● Correct

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (A) If only conclusion I follows
Explanation
The statement "All True is False" means True is entirely contained within False. "Only a few Wrong are True" means Wrong partially overlaps with True and partially does not overlap with True. Placing the entire set of Wrong inside False does not violate any condition, as long as part of Wrong overlaps with True and part stays outside True within False. Thus, "All Wrong being false is a possibility" is true. Conclusion II does not follow because Correct intersects False but does not necessarily intersect True.

Answer: (D) If neither conclusion I nor II follows
Explanation
The statement "Only Chair is Table" implies that All Table are Chair and Table is exclusive to Chair. Table cannot have any common elements with any other category such as Office or Town. Consequently, both "Some Town are Table" and "Some Office are Table" are false.

Answer: (C) If either conclusion I or II is true
Explanation
From the given expression N ≥ J = M, combining the relations yields N ≥ M. The inequality N ≥ M inherently means that either N = M is true or N > M is true. Therefore, either conclusion I or conclusion II must follow.

Answer: (A) If only conclusion I is true
Explanation
From the statement chain Y > Z = X > P, all symbols point in the same direction from Y to P, which directly gives Y > P. For conclusion II, moving from W to Z gives W ≤ Y > Z, where the opposite inequality signs prevent any definite comparison between Z and W.

Answer: (B) If only conclusion II is true
Explanation
From the given statements, combining the path from B to E gives B < C ≤ D = E, which simplifies directly to B < E. Since B is strictly less than E, conclusion II (B < E) is definitely true. Since B cannot be equal to E, conclusion I (B ≤ E) does not hold as a definite inequality. Thus, only conclusion II is true.

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) If neither conclusion I nor II is true
Explanation
In the given chain A ≥ B ≤ C < D > F, analyzing the path between F and B shows conflicting inequality signs (< and >), meaning no definite relation can be formed between F and B. Similarly, analyzing the path between A and D shows opposite signs (≥ and ≤), so no definite relation exists between A and D. Therefore, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.

In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. Give answer accordingly.

● Correct

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (E) If both conclusions I and II are true
Explanation
Combining the statements yields the chain P > X > Y = Q ≥ Z. Moving from P to Z across strict greater-than relationships gives P > Z, which translates directly to Z < P, making conclusion I true. Moving from P to Q gives P > X > Y = Q, which clearly gives P > Q, making conclusion II true. Thus, both conclusions I and II are true.

How many pairs of letters are there in the word ‘INNOVATIVE’, each of which have as many letters between them (both forward and backward direction) in the word as they have between them according to English alphabetical order?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) More than three
Explanation
Counting letter pairs in INNOVATIVE that have as many letters between them as in the English alphabetical order yields 5 pairs: (N, O) at positions 3 and 4, (N, I) at positions 3 and 8, (V, T) at positions 5 and 7, (A, E) at positions 6 and 10, and (T, V) at positions 7 and 9. Since 5 is greater than 3, the correct option is more than three.

Point R is 6m to the north of Point Q. Point S is 8m to the west of Point R. Point T is 2m to the south of Point S.
In which direction is point P with respect to point T?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (C) South-East
Explanation
Taking point O as origin (0, 0), the coordinates of the points are N(-8, 0), P(0, -4), Q(4, -4), R(4, 2), S(-4, 2), and T(-4, 0). The vector from T to P is (0 - (-4), -4 - 0) = (4, -4). Since the x-component is positive and the y-component is negative, point P is in the South-East direction with respect to point T.
242Reasoning
Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below Point N is 8m to the west of Point O. Point P is 4m to the south of Point O. Point Q is 4m to the east of Point P. Point R is 6m to the north of Point Q. Point S is 8m to the west of Point R. Point T is 2m to the south of Point S.
What is the shortest distance between point S and point Q?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) 10m
Explanation
The coordinates of point S are (-4, 2) and point Q are (4, -4). The horizontal distance Δx is 4 - (-4) = 8 metres, and the vertical distance Δy is 2 - (-4) = 6 metres. Applying the distance formula d = √((Δx)² + (Δy)²) gives √((8)² + (6)²) = √(64 + 36) = √100 = 10 metres.

How many such pairs of letters are there in the meaningful word 'CAPABILITY' each of which has as many letters between them as in the English alphabet (From both backward and forward)?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (A) Two
Explanation
In the word CAPABILITY, position 4 is A and position 5 is B, giving a letter difference of 1 which matches their positional difference of 1 in the English alphabet. Similarly, position 3 is P and position 7 is L; the number of letters between P and L in the English alphabet is 3 (M, N, O), which matches the 3 letters (A, A, B) between them in the word. Thus, exactly two such pairs exist.

Comparing statement 1 'Surging Price Fuel Push' and statement 4 'Fuel Push and ever', the common words are 'Fuel' and 'Push', with common codes 'cn' and 'el'. Since 'cn' stands for 'Fuel', 'el' uniquely represents 'Push'.
