Directions (5-6): Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below:

There is a 5x5 matrix which can produce signals which in turn help in illumination of some bulbs. The rows of the matrix are denoted by @,%, &, £ and Y from bottom to top in the same order and the columns are denoted by A, B, C, D and E from left to right:

Y row contains numbers which are consecutive multiples of '9' starting froin '36'.

£ row contains numbers which are consecutive multiples of '13'

& row contains numbers which are consecutive multiples of '8' starting from '32'

% row contains numbers which are consecutive multiples of '7'

@ row contains numbers which are consecutive multiples of '11'

Note: If the starting number of a multiple is not given; 'then start the row from the same number.

Ex: If a row contains numbers . which are consecutive multiples of '5'. Then the row might be as follows:

5

10

15

20

25

The matrix helps in producing signals which is a string of num-bers. There are four bulbs, P, Q, R and S. Based on the outcomes of the string one of the bulb blinks.

Conditions for blink:

I.          If outcome of the string is be-low 80, the bulb Q blinks.

II.         If outcome of the string is between 90 and 110, the bulb S blinks.

III.       If outcome of the string is between 125 and 150, then bulb P blinks.

IV.       If outcome of the string is between. 175 and 200, the bulb R blinks.

V.        If none of the' above condition follows, no bulb blinks.

Three outcomes of the string:

I.          If all the numbers of the string are even numbers then, outcome is obtained by multiplying unit digits of all the two digit numbers.

II.         If a prime number is followed by another prime number then, outcome is obtained by sum of all the two digits numbers.

III.       If a prime number is preceded by a perfect square then, outcome is obtained by multiplying tenth place digits of all the numbers.

8.         If Y = £B & E, £A. @D, then, which of the following bulb blinks?

(1) R                (2) P                (3) Q               (4) S                (5) None blinks

·       Ages of children : 1 year, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 years

·       Age of L's son is 1 year.

·       Age of K is 34 years. Only three persons sit between O and K.

·       N is older than Q : N > Q.

Age of N is 37 years and that of Q's age is 31 years.

·       Age of L is divisible by 11. Therefore, age of L is 33 years.

·       N is the mother of X. Age of X is 6 years. N sits to the immediate left of R.

·       T is the daughter of O. Age of O is a perfect square, i.e, 36 years.

Age of T is 7 years. T sits to the immediate right of Q.

·       U is younger than S and difference between their ages is 2 years.

Age U is 2 years and that of S is 4 years.

·       R is the child of P. Age of R is divisible by 5 and hence age of R is 5 years. R faces inside the circle.

·       V is the child of Q. Age of V is a perfect cube, i.e, 8 years.

·       Age of W is half of X's age. Therefore, age of W is 3 years.

Age of J's child is 3 years. Therefore, W is child of J.

·       S is not an immediate neighbour of L.

·       Only one person sits between J and Q.

·       Only three persons sit between X and W.

·       Age of P is a multiple of 7. Therefore, age of P is 35 years. Now, the age of J is 32 years.

11.       (1) M (38 years) is the oldest and Q (31 years) is the youngest.

12.       (5) Except Y, all others are sitting around the larger circular table.

13.       (2) J is the mother of W. Age of J is 32 years.

T is the child of O. Age of T is 7 years.

Required sum = 32 + 7

= 39 years.

14.       (4) S is the child of M. U is the child of K.

15.       (3) Age of S is 4 years. J and Q are immediate neighbours of S. Age of J is 32 years and      age of Q is 31 years.

(16-20): H lives on an odd numbered floor. Only one person lives between H and R. Therefore,       R also lives on an odd numbered floor. The sum of the ages of Q and L is one less than          the age of R.

Q is younger than L. Age of R would be in even number. Therefore, Age of L = 24 years   Age of Q = 17 years

 Age of R = 24 + 17 + 1 = 42 years

Age of T = 17 × 2 +2 = 36 years

Age of H = 20 years

Age of M = 23 or 45 years

Age of F or G = 23, 31 or 45 years

16.       (1) Q is the youngest (17 years). Only R lives between Q and M.

17.       (3) There are two persons between G and R, whose age is 42 years.

There are two persons between L and Q, whose age is 17 years.

There are two persons between F and R, whose age is 42 years.

18.       (2) Only G lives above H.

19.       (5) Except L, all others live on the even numbered floors.

20.       (4) Q is the youngest. Q lives above M.

Age of L is 24 years. Age of H is 20 years. Age of G is 31 years.

24 + 20=44; 44 – 31 = 13

R lives below Q

21.       (1) Only assumption I is implicit. Finance Minister appealed to the concerned persons to       work for making the schemes of insurance popular among people. It implies that      insurance is not popular among people.

22.       (2) Obviously, option (2) may be a possible effect.

23.       (1) Obviously, all the three can be probable causes of the given phenomenon.

24.       (1) From statement I

x – 1 + x – 1 + x = 49

3x = 49 +2

 

Costliest article is worth Rs. 17.

From statements II and III together we can calculate the price of costliest article.

25.       (4) From all the three statements

Distance between Patna and Delhi = 240 × 6 = 1440 km

At the speed of 250 km per hour the train would cover 1440 km in 5 hours 45 minutes 6        seconds.

The train will reach Delhi at 8.00 AM + 5 :45 : 6

= 13 : 45 : 6

= 1 : 45 : 6 PM

26.       (5) From statement I

           

From statment II

or

 

Data in all the three statements I, II and III together are not sufficient to answer the            question.

32.       (5) Since % i 24

meeting 1 e 48

fine = * i 15

33.       (2) & c 99 = scientists

@ i 99 = discovered

# n 63 = internet

h o 8 the

34.       (1) economic = # c 63

Internet # n 63

35.       (5) current = 1 u 48

36.       (4) Obviously, both the statements are effects of independent causes.

37.       (2) Obviously, statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.

38.       (5) Only statement (iv) is not in line with the given statement.

(39-40) :

·       Z is the father-in-law of Q and Z has no girl child.

P is the son of V. Thus, V is the mother of P and R.

Z is the father of P and R.

·       U is the mother of X and is married to P.

·       S is the sister-in-law of R Q has only one unmarried sister.

Therefore, Q is the wife of R.

·       W is the brother of T. T is the youngest in the family.

W is the son of Q and R. T is the daughter of Q and R.

·       Z has only one grandson.

Therefore X is daughter of P and U.
