Question 121

You have three chests in front of you. The first chest is labeled “GOLD”, the second is
labeled “SILVER” and the third is labeled “GOLD OR SILVER”. You have been told that all the
labels are on the wrong chests and that one chest contain gold coins, one contains silver
coins and one contains bronze coins. How many chests do you need to
open to deduce which label goes on which chest?

Video Solution

Solution

It is given that the labels are wrong.

For the Chest labelled "Gold or Silver": It should not have either Gold or Silver. Hence it has Bronze coins

For the Silver labelled chest. It can't have silver and broze is in other chest. Hence it has Gold Coins

Thus Gold labelled chest will have Silver coins.

We need not open any chest to determine the labels

Read the following passage and answer the questions.
An employee has been assigned the task of allotting offices to six of the staff members. The offices are numbered 1 - 6. The offices are arranged in a row and they are separated from each other by six foot high dividers. Hence voices, sounds and cigarette smoke flow easily from one office to another. Miss Ruby needs to use the telephone quite often throughout the day. Mr. Minhas and Mr. Brar need adjacent offices as they need to consult each other often while working. Miss Harsha is a senior employee and has to be allotted the office number 5, having the biggest window. Mr. Dongre requires silence in the offices next to his. Mr. Tanjore, Mr. Minhas and Mr. Dongre are all smokers. Miss Harsha finds tobacco smoke allergic and consequently the offices next to hers are to be occupied by non-smokers. Unless specifically stated all the employees maintain an atmosphere of silence during office hours.

Question 123

The ideal candidate to occupy the office furthest from Mr. Brar would be

Video Solution

Solution

In this question, it is given that Miss Harsha has been allotted Room 5 and she requires her neighbor to be non-smokers. This can be represented as follows

This implies Room 1, 2 and 3 have to be occupied by smokers as there are 3 smokers.

Further, it is given that Mr. Minhas (smoker) and Mr. Brar (non-smoker) need an adjacent office as they consult with each other. The only way possible is when Mr. Minhas gets room 3 and Mr. Brar gets room 4. This will lead to the allocation of Room 6 to Ms. Ruby as she the only non-smoker left.

Updated allocation looks like

Room 1 and 2 will be given to Mr. Dongre and Mr. Tanjore. Preferable location for Mr. Dongre will be Room 1 as he requires silence.

We see the ideal candidate to be furthest from Mr.Brar is Mr. Dongre

Video Solution

Solution

Question 125

In the event of what occurrence, within a period of one month since the assignment of the
offices, would a request for a change in office be put forth by one or more employees?

Video Solution

Solution

In this question, it is given that Miss Harsha has been allotted Room 5 and she requires her neighbor to be non-smokers. This can be represented as follows

This implies Room 1, 2 and 3 have to be occupied by smokers as there are 3 smokers.

Further, it is given that Mr. Minhas (smoker) and Mr. Brar (non-smoker) need an adjacent office as they consult with each other. The only way possible is when Mr. Minhas gets room 3 and Mr. Brar gets room 4. This will lead to the allocation of Room 6 to Ms. Ruby as she the only non-smoker left.

Updated allocation looks like

Room 1 and 2 will be given to Mr. Dongre and Mr. Tanjore. Preferable location for Mr. Dongre will be Room 1 as he requires silence.

A) If Mr. Dongre quits smoking it will not impact anyone

B) If Harsha has a noisy telephone installed in her office, Mr. Dongre who prefers silence would still be farthest from the noise hence he will not request for change

C) Since it is assumed that all the employees maintain an atmosphere of silence, the current allocation will not impact her

D) If Mr. Tanjore takes up the role of Miss Ruby which requires talking on the phone. It will impact Mr. Dongre as he prefers silence in his office and he'll apply for change of rooms

Option D is correct

Chaya, the club president, is appointing members to the fundraising committee, but she has resolved that she will not appoint anyone without his or her explicit consent. Shankar tells Chaya, “I will not consent to appointment on that committee unless I know whether Jwala is to be a member of it.” And Jwala says, “I will not consent to be a member of that committee unless I know whether Shankar will be appointed to it.” If all three of these people stick by these resolutions, then:

Question 127

A bank customer had Rs. 100 in his account. He then made 6 withdrawals, totaling Rs. 100. He kept a record of these withdrawals, and the balance remaining in the account, as follows:
So, why are the totals not exactly right?

Video Solution

Solution

Withdrawals and the Balance are 2 separate things.

Imagine if the customer withdraws Rs.1 100 times. In this case sum of withdrawals will be still 100 but sum of balance = $$\left(99+98+...+1\right)\ne\ 100$$

Two totals need not be equal

Question 128

Which image from the bottom row should replace the question mark?

Video Solution

Solution

In the given pattern, each row and column's figure have 2,3 and 4 legs. Therefore the missing figure should have 2 legs. This eliminates options 1,3 and 6.

Only one of the figures in each row/column has crooked "L" shaped legs. Hence Option 2 is also eliminated.

Each row and column should have one each of the following head

Thus option 5 satisfies all the criteria

Question 129

Video Solution

Solution

The 1st figure in the analogy has 1 side less than the 2nd figure.

=> Since a rectangle has 4 sides, the answer should have 5 sides.

=> Option-C.

Question 130

Which pattern from the bottom line (A, B, C, D or E) is missing from the top line?

Video Solution

Solution

The Black Shade in the Big box is moving in the clockwise direction. Option D depicts the correct pattern
