Night Class: Reasoning Quiz |_4.1
Anuj is grandson of Neha.
Hence, the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient.
9. 4; 
From statement I
Eminent School and vague  no ro jo vi …(i)
vague aim service – jo ti di …… (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get,
vague – jo
I alone is not sufficient to answer.
From statement II, Provision enforce personal – da na
pa ………(iii)
Eminent and fruit service – la ma ro vi …….. (i)
Thus, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer
from statement I & II together.
Using equations (i) and (iv), we get and/eminent – ro/vi
Thus, statement I and statement II together are not sufficient to answer.
10. 4; From statement I – R, S > P, T not sufficient
From statement II – R > Q > P not sufficient.
Combining statement I & statement II, R > S > Q > P >
T ….. (i)
or, S > R > Q > T > P ……..(ii)
R > S > Q > T > P ……. (ii)
S > R > Q > P > T …… (iv)
And so on,
Hence, either S or R is the tallest.
Therefore, the data in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the given question.
11. 5; From statement I
Aeroplane = 4th from the right and 4th to the right of car
Position of car = 4 + 4 = 8th from the right
From statement II – train = 7th from the left and 4th from the left of car.
Position of car = 7 + 4 = 11th from the left from I and II together, Total number of toys = 8 + 4 – 1= 18.
