Question 71

One night three naughty boys stole a basket full of apples from the garden, hid the loot and went to sleep. Before retiring they did some quick counting and found that the fruits were less than a hundred in number. During the night one boy awoke, counted the apples and found that he could divide the apples into three equal parts if he first took one for himself. He then took one apple, ate it up and took $$\frac{1}{3}$$ of the rest, hid them separately and went back to sleep. Shortly thereafter another boy awoke, counted the apple and he again found that if he took one for himself the loot could be divided in to three equal parts. He ate up one apple, bagged $$\frac{1}{3}$$ of the remainder, hid them separately and went back to sleep. The third boy also awoke after some time, did the same and went back to sleep. In the morning when all woke up, and counted apples, they found that the remaining apples again totaled I more than could be divided into three equal parts. How many apples did the boys steal?

Video Solution

Solution

We'll approach this question by checking the options.

When the 1st boy woke up, he ate 1 and hid a third of the remaining, which leaves two-thirds.

So, if the initial no. of apples was N, after the actions of the 1st boy who woke up, now remaining apples are:

$frac4$

The 2nd boy repeats the process which makes the remaining no. of apples :

$frac5$

Now the 3rd guy repeats the process as well. No. of apples remaining after the 3rd operation:

$frac6$

Now this number has to be an integer and one less than this will be divisible by 3.

On putting the value of N as 67, 79 and 85 we can observe that only 79 satisfies the conditions.

Instructions

Choose from these four diagrams the one that best illustrates the relationship among three given classes.

Question 72

Chilli, Salt, Vegetables

Video Solution

Solution

Chili is also a vegetable. But salt is different from vegetables. Hence option C is correct

Question 73

Student of Law, Students of Science, Men

Video Solution

Solution

Students of Law and Student of Science will belong to different sections. But both of them will be men. Hence option B

Instructions

Study the following example and answer the questions.
An electronic device rearranges numbers step-by-step in a particular order according to a set of rules. The device stops when the final result is obtained. In this case the device stops at Step V.
Input: 85 16 36 04 19 97 63 09
Step I - 97 85 16 36 04 19 63 09
Step II - 97 85 63 16 36 04 19 09
Step III - 97 85 63 36 16 04 19 09
Step IV - 97 85 63 36 19 16 04 09
Step V - 97 85 63 36 19 16 09 04

Question 74

Which of the following will be Step III for the input below?
Input: 09 25 16 30 32 18 17 06

Video Solution

Solution

We see that the device takes the biggest number which is not in descending order and places it at its place.

Input : 09 25 16 30 32 18 17 06

Step I : 32 09 25 16 30 18 17 06

Step II : 32 30 09 25 16 18 17 06

Step III : 32 30 25 09 16 18 17 06

Hence Option D is correct

Question 75

What is last step for the input below?
Input: 16 09 25 27 06 05

Video Solution

Solution

Since the device is sorting the number in descending order with biggest number and one at a time.

For Input 16 09 25 27 06 05

Step I : 27 16 09 25 06 05

Step II : 27 25 16 09 06 05

After which all the numbers are sorted. Hence 2 steps are needed

Question 76

What is the output of Step V for the input below?
Input: 25 08 35 11 88 67 23

Video Solution

Solution

We see that the device takes the biggest number which is not in descending order and places it at its place.

For Input : 25 08 35 11 88 67 23

Step I : 88 25 08 35 11 67 23

Step II : 88 67 25 08 35 11 23

Step III : 88 67 35 25 08 11 23

Step IV : 88 67 35 25 23 08 11

Step V : 88 67 35 25 23 11 08

Question 77

Which one of the following would be last step for the input below?
Input: 03 31 43 22 11 09

Video Solution

Solution

We see that in this, the number is sorted in the descending order in which every step the biggest number which is not in the correct place picked and placed at its place.

Input: 03 31 43 22 11 09

Step I = 43 03 31 22 11 09

Step II = 43 31 03 22 11 09

Step III = 43 31 22 03 11 09

Step IV = 43 31 22 11 03 09

Step V = 43 31 22 11 09 03

Total 5 steps are needed.

Question 78

If the output of Step IV is as given below, what was the input?
Step IV: 92 86 71 69 15 19 06 63 58

Video Solution

Solution

Since we know that in every step the series gets sorted in descending order. But it is not possible to know that from which position the number was picked.

Instructions

Read the following information carefully and then answer the questions given below:

P # Q means P is the father of Q

P + Q means P is the mother of Q

P - Q means P is the brother of Q

P * Q means P is the sister of Q

Question 79

If A + B # C - D, then A is D's

Video Solution

Solution

From the given relation, we can understand that A is the mother of B, who is the father of C, who is the brother of D.

This makes A the grandmother of D.

Question 80

Which of the following shows that A is the Aunt of E?

Video Solution

Solution

Let's go option by option:

1) Option 1 says A is the brother of B and this makes A a male. So he cannot be E's aunt.

2) Option 2 says A is the sister of B, who is the father of C, who is the sister of D, who is the brother of E.

This makes A aunt of E.

3)Option 3 says A is the father of B which makes him a male. Thus he cannot be the aunt of E.

4) Option 4 says A is the mother of B, is the brother of C, who is the sister of D, who is the father of E.

This makes A the grandmother of E.
