Reasoning Quiz - 27 | Bank Exams

Directions(1-5): Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.

Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing away from the center. Each of them has a different rank in mock test, viz 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th but not necessarily in the same order.

A and C, whose rank is 3rd, can never sit together. There are two persons between the persons whose ranks are 7th and 5th. The person whose rank is 5th sits second to the right of F. H does not rank 2nd or 1st and he is also an immediate neighbor of the one whose rank is 5th. The person whose rank is 1st cannot sit with the person whose rank is 4th.

There are two persons sitting between C and the person whose rank is 6th. B and E are immediate neighbors of each other. The person whose rank is 1st sits on the immediate left of the person whose rank is 8th. A is second to the right of the person whose rank is 7th. D's rank is neither 6th nor 7th. E and G are not immediate neighbors. G, who does not rank 5th, sits on the immediate right of H. There is only one person sitting between those two persons whose ranks are 8th and 6th. There is only one person sitting between G and the person whose rank is 6th and that person can never be F.

Directions(5 - 10): In each of these questions, relationships between two elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. Read the statements and give answer.

1. if only conclusion I follows
2. if only conclusion II follows
3. if either conclusion I or II follows
4. if neither conclusion I or II follows
5. if both conclusions I and II follow

5. A = >F = E, D < G < = E, P < D

Conclusions I: E = > A 

                    II: A > P

6. B > C > T < Q < L, R > = Q, B < V

Conclusions I: T = R

                    II: T < R

7.T < = M > B = G > P < = C

Conclusions I: M > = P

                    II: P < B

8. R > =P > = Q < = S < T > = M

Conclusions I: T > Q

                    II:  R > T

10.Q > = C < D < P > = R > = O = B

Conclusions I: Q > O

                    II: O > = Q

(6 - 10)

6. (2)

A = > F = E > = G > D > P

Hence A > P

7. (2)

R > = Q > T

T < R

8. (2)

T < = M > B = G > P < = C

P < B

9. (1)

T > S > = Q

T > Q

10. (3)

Relationship between O and Q cannot be established from the given statements.

But, a number can be only greater than or less than or equal to another number.

Hence, from I and II we go to the conclusion (3).
