InstructionsDirections : Each of the questions below consists of a question and three statements numbered I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the three statements and give answer-

Question 14: Among six people P, Q, R, S, T and V each lives on a different floor of a six-storey building having six floors numbered one to six (the ground floor is numbered 1, the floor above it, number 2 and so on and the topmost floor is numbered 6. Who lives on the topmost floor? I) There is only one floor between the floors on which R and Q live. P lives on an even numbered floor.
II) T does not live on an even numbered floor. Q lives on an even numbered floor. Q does not live on the topmost floor.
III) S lives on an odd numbered floor. There are two floors between the floors on which S and P live. T lives on a floor immediately above R’s floor.

a) If the data in Statement I and II are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement III are not required to answer the question.

b) If the data in Statement I and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II are not required to answer the question.

c) If the data in Statement II and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I are not required to answer the question.

d) If the data in either Statement I alone or Statement II alone or Statement III alone are sufficient to answer the question.

e) If the data in all the Statements I, II and III together are necessary to answer the question.

Question 15: There are six letters W, A, R, S, N and E. Is “ANSWER” the word formed after performing the following operations using these six letters only?
I) E is placed fourth to the right of A. S is not placed immediately next to either A or E.
II) R is placed immediately next (either left or right) to E. W is placed immediately next (either left or right) to S.
III) Both N and W are placed immediately next to S. The word does not begin with R. A is not placed immediately next to W.

a) If the data in Statement I and II are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement III are not required to answer the question.

b) If the data in Statement I and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II are not required to answer the question.

c) If the data in Statement II and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I are not required to answer the question.

d) If the data in either Statement I alone or Statement II alone or Statement III alone are sufficient to answer the question.

e) If the data in all the Statements I, II and III together are necessary to answer the question.

From statement 1 or statement 2 alone, we cannot determine the position of Bhavna.

Using both the statements,

_ _ _ _ _ _ Sheetal _ Sandeep _ Anita _ _ Bhavna …

So, Bhavna’s position can be determined using both the statements together.

From statement 1 alone: R A N G E is the only possibility

From statement 2 alone: R/E A/G N G/A E/R is the possibility. So, the middle letter can be determined.

So, the question can be answered by using either statement alone.

From statement 1, the positions are as follows:

From statement 2, the positions are as follows:

So, the question can be answered by using statement 2 alone, but not by using statement 1 alone.

Downstream = boat + stream = $\frac{12}{2}$ + stream = 6 km/hr
Upstream =boat – stream = $\frac{12}{4}$ – stream  = 3 km/hr
Solving the above equations we get boat = 4.5 km/hr and stream = 6 – 4.5 = 1.5
Speed of the stream = $\frac{1}{3}$rd of that of the boat in still river = 1.5

Length of the train = 240 m
Time taken to cross the pole = 24 seconds
Speed = $\frac{240}{24}$ = 10 m/s

There are only two meaningful words that can be formed from the four alphabets and they are CONE, ONCE

SI in 1 year = 600

for two years = 1200

Sum = 10 x 1200 = 12000

600 = 12000*r*1/100

r = 5%

Amount returned in two years = 12000(1 + $\frac{5}{100}$)2 = 13230

Length of the hypotenuse = 5 cm
Other two sides = 4cm ,3 cm (pythaogrean triples)
Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 3 x 4 = 6cm2

Options 2 and 3 provide all the information needed to answer the question.

Using statement I alone: E > B > A

Using statement II alone: C’s rank is 3.

Using statement III alone: D’s rank is 5 and F’s rank is 6.

Using any two of the three statements, we cannot answer the question.

Using all three statements, C = 3rd rank, D = 5th rank, F = 6th rank; E = 1st rank, B = 2nd rank and A = 4th rank

Statetments 1 and 2 are sufficient to answer the question. Hence option 5 is correct as none of the options indicate this.

Suresh took leave on Wednesday doesn’t mean he visited Chennai on that day. Since Suresh’s mother visited him on neither Monday nor Thursday, she could have visited on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. It is given that Suresh visited Chennai the day after his mother’s visit. Since the exact day on which Suresh’s mother visited his house cannot be determined, the day on which Suresh visited Chennai cannot be determined. Thus, we cannot determine the answer exactly even by using all three statements.

From statements I and III, we can determine the code for ‘go’ as ‘ha’. So, I and III are sufficient to answer the question.
