Answer: (E) If neither conclusion I nor II is true

Explanation

In the statement L = M ≤ N ≤ O = P > Q ≤ R: For conclusion I (P > L), since L ≤ P, P can either be greater than or equal to L, so P > L is not definitely true. For conclusion II (N < R), moving from N to R involves opposing inequality signs (≤ and >), which means no definite relation can be established between N and R. Therefore, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.

Answer: (A) If only conclusion I is true

Explanation

In the statement X ≥ Y > Z = A > B < C > D = E: For conclusion I (X > B), combining the path X ≥ Y > Z = A > B yields X > B, which makes conclusion I true. For conclusion II (Z ≤ E), the path between Z and E contains opposing inequality signs (> and <), so no definite relationship can be formed between Z and E. Therefore, only conclusion I is true.

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Answer: (C) C

Explanation

Arranging the boxes from top (7) to bottom (1) using the given clues: With 3 boxes between B and D, and A immediately below B, placing B at 7 puts A at 6 and D at 3. Since 5 boxes are below A (positions 5 to 1), 5 boxes must be above G, placing G at position 2. Box C is placed above G with 1 box between them, placing C at position 4. Box E is not at the bottom position, so E is at position 5 and F is at position 1. position order from top to bottom is B (7), A (6), E (5), C (4), D (3), G (2), F (1). Box C is at position 4, which is two boxes below box A at position 6.

Correct

Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Answer: (D) Three

Explanation

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. Adding 2 to each number gives: 492 + 2 = 494 (digit sum = 17, not divisible by 3) 625 + 2 = 627 (digit sum = 15, divisible by 3) 381 + 2 = 383 (digit sum = 14, not divisible by 3) 967 + 2 = 969 (digit sum = 24, divisible by 3) 154 + 2 = 156 (digit sum = 12, divisible by 3)

Three resulting numbers (627, 969, 156) are completely divisible by 3.

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Answer: (A) If only conclusion I follows

Explanation

The statement "Only a few cup is can" implies that some cups are cans and some cups are not cans. Since all cups are inside kettle, the cups that are cans are also kettles. Because no can is a jar, those kettles which are cans can never be jars, which makes "Some kettle is not jar" definitely true. However, cups that are not cans may or may not be jars, so "No Cup is jar" does not logically follow.

Answer: (B) If only conclusion II follows

Explanation

"Only a few pencils are glitters" means some pencils are glitters and some pencils are definitely not glitters, which makes it impossible for all pencils to be glitters, so conclusion I does not follow. Since some colours are pens and all pens are pencils, the colours that are pens must also be pencils, which makes "Some colours are pencils" definitely true.

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

Explanation

The phrase "Only a few square are circles" means that some squares are circles and some squares are not circles, making conclusion I definitely true. Furthermore, all lines are squares and there is no negative statement prohibiting lines from overlapping with circles, so the possibility of some lines being circles is also valid, making conclusion II definitely true.

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Answer: (B) If only conclusion II

Explanation

Since all fruits are vegetables and only a few vegetables are carrots, fruits can potentially overlap completely with tomatoes without violating any given statement, so conclusion I is a valid possibility and thus logically follows. Statement 2 explicitly states that only a few vegetables are carrots, which means some vegetables are carrots, directly contradicting "No vegetable is carrot", so conclusion II logically does not follow.

Answer: (C) Three

Explanation

The initial arrangement from top to bottom is J (7), M (6), L (5), K (4), N (3), O (2), P (1). If box M and box K swap positions, box M is moved to position 4. The boxes below position 4 are those at positions 3, 2, and 1, which equals three boxes.

Answer: (D) None

Explanation

The original order from bottom to top (positions 1 to 7) is P, O, N, K, L, M, J. Arranging the boxes in alphabetical order from bottom to top gives J at position 1, K at 2, L at 3, M at 4, N at 5, O at 6, and P at 7. Comparing position by position, no box retains its original position.

Answer: (E) If neither conclusion I nor II is true

Explanation

From the combined statement M = T ≤ K < P < Q < V, comparing K and V gives K < V, which invalidates conclusion I (K > V). Comparing M and Q gives M < Q strictly, meaning M cannot equal Q, which invalidates conclusion II (M ≤ Q). Therefore, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.

Answer: (A) If only conclusion I is true

Explanation

From the statement W ≤ E < S < Y ≤ N = A, combining E < S < Y ≤ N gives E < N, which confirms that N > E is true. For conclusion II, combining S < Y ≤ N = A gives S < A strictly, which means S ≤ A does not follow because equality is not possible. Thus, only conclusion I is true.

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Answer: (C) If either conclusion I or II is true

Explanation

From the statement G = J ≥ X < C < B < M, moving from G to B encounters opposite inequality symbols (≥ and <), meaning no definite relationship can be concluded between G and B. Consequently, G must be either strictly greater than B or less than or equal to B. Since these two conclusions cover all possible mathematical relations between G and B, an either-or case is formed.
