Verbal Reasoning - Mental Ability Questions

Q, the Doctor, is the father of T. S, the Housewife, is the grandmother of T and hence the mother of Q. Since there are only two married couples one being that of Q, the grandfather of R. i.e, U must be married to S. Thus, R and T will be both children of Q and these must be the students So, P, who remains, shall be the wife of Q and she alone can be the nurse. Thus, U must be the contractor 

Clearly, for definite the males are Q, the father and U, the grandfather 

The given sequence is a combination of two series:
i)0, 3, 8, 15, 24, 35
ii)2, 5, 10, 18, 26
The pattern in both i, ii is +3, +5, +7, . . . .
So, in ii) 18 is wrong and must be replaced by (10 + 7) = 17

A person will stand on the 'floor' and 'floor' is called 'roof'.

So, a person will stand on the 'roof'.

S is daughter of P and sister of T. So, T is daughter of P. 

Now, the sister of P is the daughter of M. This means that P is also the daughter of M. Clearly, T is the granddaughter of M. 

So, M is the Grandfather or Grandmother of T. 

Here the given pair of words are related in such a way that they are synonyms.

That is Genuine and Authentic are synonyms and similarly, Mrage and illusion are synonyms.

Hence, Genuine : Authentic : : Mirage : Illusion.

From II. we can conclude that 500 boxes were sold on Sunday

 From I. we find that number of boxes sold on Monday 500 +10% of 500 = 550.  

Clearly, we have :

A = B - 3 ...(i)

D + 5 = E ...(ii)

A+C = 2E ...(iii)

B + D = A+C = 2E ...(iv)

A+B + C + D + E=150 ...(v)

From (iii), (iv) and (v), we get: 5E = 150 or E = 30.

Putting E = 30 in (ii), we get: D = 25.

Putting E = 30 and D = 25 in (iv), we get: B = 35.

Putting B = 35 in (i), we get: A = 32.

Putting A = 32 and E = 30 in (iii), we get: C = 28.

We prefer to wear dark clothes in winter because they absorb the heat and keep the body warm. However, white clothes are good reflectors of heat and are worn in summer.
