Directions (6-10): Each of the following questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer.

Q6. Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table facing the center. Who is opposite to A?
I. D sits second to right of F and opposite to E. A is an immediate neighbor of B and C.
II. G sits third to right of E, who sits second to right of A.

if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient in answer the question.

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in both the statements I and II are together necessary to answer the question.

Solution:

F is opposite to A.

Q7. Who among D, E, F, G, H and J got the highest marks in an exam?
I. D’s marks was more than G and J and E’s marks was less than that of F.
II. E scored less than G. J scored more than G and H. No one scored marks between F and G or F and H.

if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient in answer the question.

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in both the statements I and II are together necessary to answer the question.

Solution:

From statements I-
D>G,J, F>E
From statement II-
either J>H>F>G>E or J>G>F>H>E
From statement I and II both-
D>J>H>F>G>E or D>J>G>F>H>E
Hence D got maximum marks.

II. V sits third to left of Y. W sits on the immediate right of X.

if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient in answer the question.

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data in both the statements I and II are together necessary to answer the question.

Solution:

From both 1 and 2-

Q11. Which of the following symbols should replace the question mark (?) in the given expression in order to make the expressions P > B as well as T ≤ C definitely true?

P > C ? B ≥ N = T

≤

≥

Either ≤ or <

Solution:

P > C ? B ≥ N = T
When we put ≥ instead of ? sign then
P> C ≥ B ≥ N = T
In this expression P > B and T ≤ C both are true.

Q12. Which of the following should be placed in the blank spaces respectively (in the same order from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that makes the expression B > N as well as E ≤ L definitely true?

B _ L _ O _ N _ E

=, =, ≥, ≥

>, ≥, =, >

>, <, =, ≤

>, =, =, ≥

>, =, ≥, >

Solution:

B > L = O = N ≥ E
In this expression B > N and E ≤ L both are true.

Q13. Which of the following symbols should be placed in the blank spaces respectively (in the same order from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that makes the expression A > N and U > E definitely false?

A _ O _ U _ N _ E

<, <, >, =

<, =, =, >

<, =, =, <

>, =, =, ≥

>, >, =, <

Solution:

A < O = U = N < E
In this expression A> N and U > E both are false.

Q14. Which of the following symbols should be placed in the blank spaces respectively (in the same order from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that makes the expression P > Q as well as R ≤ S definitely true?

P _ S _ T _ Q _ R

=, =, ≥, ≥

>, ≥, =, >

>, <, =, ≤

>, =, =, ≥

>, =, ≥, >

Solution:

P > S = T = Q ≥ R
In this expression P > Q and R ≤ S both are true.

Q15. Which of the following symbols should be placed in the blank spaces respectively (in the same order from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that makes the expression A > B and C > D definitely false?

A _ E _ C _ B _ D
