Q:

# Find the minimum number of straight lines required to make the given figure.

 A) 13 B) 15 C) 17 D) 19

Explanation:

The horizontal lines are IJ, AB, EF, MN, HG, DC and LK i.e. 7 in number.

The vertical lines are AD, EH, IL, FG, BC and JK i.e. 6 in number.

Thus, there are 7 + 6 = 13 straight lines in the figure.

Q:

8(6+5) - 10 =?

 A) 76 B) 78 C) 80 D) 82

Explanation:

8(6+5) - 10 = ?

? = 8(11) - 10

? = 88 - 10

? = 78.

Q:

A university library budget committee must reduce exactly five of eight areas of expenditure—I, J, K, L, M, N, O and P—in accordance with the following conditions:

If both I and O are reduced, P is also reduced.
If L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced.
If M is reduced, J is not reduced.
Of the three areas J, K, and N exactly two are reduced.

Question :

If both K and N are reduced, which one of the following is a pair of areas neither of which could be reduced?

 A) I, L B) J, L C) J, M D) I, J

Explanation:

This question concerns a committee’s decision about which five of eight areas of expenditure to reduce. The question requires you to suppose that K and N are among the areas that are to be reduced, and then to determine which pair of areas could not also be among the five areas that are reduced.

The fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based requires that exactly two of K, N, and J are reduced. Since the question asks us to suppose that both K and N are reduced, we know that J must not be reduced:

Reduced         ::      K, N
Not reduced   ::      J

The second condition requires that if L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. So L and N cannot both be reduced. Here, since N is reduced, we know that L cannot be. Thus, adding this to what we’ve determined so far, we know that J and L are a pair of areas that cannot both be reduced if both K and N are reduced:

Reduced        ::      K, N
Not reduced  ::      J, L

Q:

What do you understand by - 'If K is there L has to be there'

 A) K & L will always be together B) K is not there, then L will not be there C) k is there, then L will also be there D) K & L will always be not together

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) k is there, then L will also be there

Explanation:

This would not mean that K and L will always be together. It just implies that, if K is there, then L will also be there.

At the same time, it can happen that L is there but K isn't.

Remember, the condition is on K, not on L.

Q:

What is the minimum number of colour pencils required to fill the spaces in the below figure with no two adjacent spaces have the same colour ?

 A) 5 B) 2 C) 3 D) 6

Explanation:

The given figure can be labelled as shown :

The spaces P, Q and R have to be shaded by three different colours definitely (since each of these three spaces lies adjacent to the other two).
Now, in order that no two adjacent spaces be shaded by the same colour, the spaces T, U and S must be shaded with the colours of the spaces P, Q and R respectively.
Also the spaces X, V and W must be shaded with the colours of the spaces S, T and U respectively i.e. with the colours of the spaces R, P and Q respectively. Thus, minimum three colour pencils are required.

Q:

Minimum number of straight lines required to form the below figure ?

 A) 18 B) 17 C) 14 D) 16

Explanation:

The given figure can be labelled as shown :

The horizontal lines are AK, BJ, CI, DH and EG i.e. 5 in number.
The vertical lines are AE, LF and KG i.e. 3 in number.
The slanting lines are LC, CF, FI, LI, EK and AG i.e. 6 in number.
Thus, there are 5 + 3 + 6 = 14 straight lines in the figure.
