Q:

# If the gifts are passed on, the whole purpose of the gift is defeated. Therefore, the gift should be one that is useful and at the same time it attracts you, appeals to you and you retain it.Conclusions : I. If gifts are retained , their utility increases.II. Gifts are not meant for repeated change of hands.

 A) If only conclusion I follows B) If only conclusion II follows C) If neither I nor II follows D) If both I and II follow

Answer:   B) If only conclusion II follows

Explanation:

I is not hinted at. It is an invention of the concluder's mind. II follows  because if "the whole purpose of something is defeated", it loses its meaning.

Q:

I. $\inline \fn_jvn \small a^{2}-7a+12 =0$,

II. $\inline \fn_jvn \small b^{2}-3b+2=0$

Solve both the equations to find the values of a and b  ?

 A) if a > b B) if a < b C) if the relationship between a and b cannot be established. D) if a ≤ b

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) if a > b

Explanation:

I.  (a - 3)(a - 4) = 0

=> a = 3, 4

II.   (b - 2)(b - 1) = 0

=> b = 1, 2

=> a > b

Q:

If the age of father is 4 years greater than the mother and 28 years greater than the son,then what is the age of the father?

which one should be used to calculate the age ?

A) mother/son = Non-prime number
B) mother/son = Perfect square number

 A) only A alone is sufficient B) only B alone is sufficient C) both A and B are required D) Cannot be answered

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) only B alone is sufficient

Explanation:

For the given problem there are three possiblities.
Father's age can be = 36, 31, 29
Mother's age = 32, 27, 25
Son's age = 8, 3, 1.

By using only B it can be calculated.

Q:

Fact 1: All hats have brims.
Fact 2: There are black hats and blue hats.
Fact 3: Baseball caps are hats.

If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact?
I. All caps have brims.
II. Some baseball caps are blue.
III. Baseball caps have no brims.

 A) I only B) II only C) I, II, and III D) None of the statements is a fact.

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of the statements is a fact.

Explanation:

All baseball caps have brims, since baseball caps are hats (Fact 3) and all hats have brims (Fact 1). This rules out statement III—but it doesn’t follow that all caps, a category that may include caps that are not baseball caps, have brims (statement I). Statement II cannot be confirmed, either, since it is possible, given the information, that all baseball caps are black.

Q:

What is the first term of an arithmetic progression of positive integers ?

(I) Sum of the squares of the first and the second term is 116.

(II)The fifth term is divisible by 7.

 A) Only a is sufficient B) Only b is sufficient C) Both a & b are necessary D) None

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Only a is sufficient

Explanation:

The sum of square of two no is 116 i.e no lie 1-11, because 11x11 =121 which is greater than 116
again after cheaking all possible pair of no only 4 and 10 satisfy this condsn , again the progression is of positive integer so 10 cant not be 1st term
so the 1st term is 4,
but from the 2nd we cant able to find the 1st term

so only 1st statement is sufficient to answer the question
