Answer: (B) Two

Explanation

Arranging the 7 persons on floors 1 to 7 based on the given conditions yields floor 7: A, floor 6: F, floor 5: C, floor 4: E, floor 3: G, floor 2: B, and floor 1: D. Since G lives on the 3rd floor, the persons living below G are on the 1st and 2nd floors, which equals two persons.

Explanation

Placing all persons on floors 1 through 7 step by step gives floor 7: A, floor 6: F, floor 5: C, floor 4: E, floor 3: G, floor 2: B, and floor 1: D. Therefore, C lives on the 5th floor.

Answer: (C) F

Explanation

From the top floor to the ground floor, the sequence of occupants is 7: A, 6: F, 5: C, 4: E, 3: G, 2: B, and 1: D. B resides on the 2nd floor, so 5 persons live above B. F resides on the 6th floor, so exactly 5 persons live below F.

Answer: (D) Both II and III

Explanation

The deduced floor order from 7 to 1 is A, F, C, E, G, B, D. In this arrangement, F is on an even floor (6th floor), E (4th floor) lives above D (1st floor), and G lives on the 3rd floor. Thus, statement II and statement III are true.

355Reasoning
If each vowel of the word "QUALITY" is changed to the next letter of the English alphabets and each consonant is changed to the previous letter of the English alphabet, and then the alphabets thus formed are arranged in alphabetical order from left to right, which of the following will be fourth from the right end?

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Answer: (B) P

Explanation

In QUALITY, changing vowels (U, A, I) to their next letters gives V, B, J and changing consonants (Q, L, T, Y) to their previous letters gives P, K, S, X. Sorting the resulting set {P, V, B, K, J, S, X} in alphabetical order from left to right yields B, J, K, P, S, V, X. Counting from the right end, the 1st is X, 2nd is V, 3rd is S, and 4th is P.

356Reasoning
In each of the questions below, some statements are given followed by some conclusions. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts.

Answer: (C) If either conclusion I or II follows.

Explanation

No definite relationship is established between Mango and Papaya from the given statements. Since both conclusions share the same subject and predicate, and one states that some Mango are Papaya while the other states that no Mango is Papaya, they form a standard complementary pair where exactly one of them must hold true in any logical interpretation.

Answer: (A) If only conclusion I follows.

Explanation

Only a few City are Town implies that some City are Town while some City are not Town. Because all Town are Metro, the portion of City that consists of Town is also Metro, making the conclusion that some City are Metro definitely true. However, because some City can never be Town, it is impossible for all City to be Town.

Answer: (C) If either conclusion I or II follows.

Explanation

No direct relation is established between Dolphin and Owl from the given premises, making their overlap uncertain. The conclusions represent an "All A are B" and "Some A are not B" complementary pair. Either all Dolphin are Owl is true, or at least one Dolphin is not Owl (meaning some Dolphin are not Owl), so exactly one of the two conclusions must follow.

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 River are Mountain. No Mountain is Concrete. Some Concrete are not Bricks. Conclusions: I. Some River are being Concrete is a possibility. II. All Mountain can be river.

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Answer: (E) If both conclusions I and II follow.

Explanation

The non-Mountain portion of River can be Concrete, so some River being Concrete is a valid possibility. Additionally, while "only a few River are Mountain" prevents all River from being Mountain, it does not prevent all Mountain from being inside River, so all Mountain can be River is also a valid possibility.

Answer: (B) KJM

Explanation

Examining letter positions in the alphabet shows that C(3) - 1 = B(2) and B(2) + 4 = F(6); P(16) - 1 = O(15) and O(15) + 4 = S(19); V(22) - 1 = U(21) and U(21) + 4 = Y(25); and S(19) - 1 = R(18) and R(18) + 4 = V(22). In contrast, K(11) - 1 = J(10) and J(10) + 3 = M(13), making KJM the distinct pattern.
