ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION
(1-6); On the basis of the information given in the question
, we have the above arrangements.
1.4; L is sitting immediate left of the N.
2.5; The correct position of L with respect to Q is ‘second to the left’ and ‘fifth to the right’.
3.2; M is sitting between P and K
4.1; P sits second to the left of L.
5.3; K sits between M and Q.
6.5; All buildings are roads.
All roads are trucks.
All trucks are mountains.
Conversion
‘All buildings are mountains’ – Conversion
‘Some mountains are buildings’ ⎯→ Some buildings are mountains’
This is conclusion I.
All roads are trucks (A – type)
All trucks are mountains (A-type)
A + A = A-type conclusion ‘All roads are mountains’.
‘Some buildings are Mountains’ Conversion ⎯→ ‘Some mountains are roads.’
This is conlusion II.
7.1; Some poles are lights. ( I-type)
All lights are bulbs. (A-type)
I + A = I – type conclusion.
All lights are bulbs. (A-type)
Some bulbs are wires. (I-type)
A + I = ‘-‘ No conclusion.
8.4; 9.4;
10.5; Conversion
‘All boxes are tables’ (A-type) ⎯→ ‘Some tables are boxes’. This is conclusion II.
All windows are tables.(A-type)
All tables are fans. (A-Type)
A + A = A-type conclusion.
‘All windows are fans’.
This is conclusion I.
(11-13): $ means <
# means =
% means >
11.4; Statements: S $ P ⇒ S < P
P % Q ⇒ P > Q
Q # R ⇒ Q = R
Conclusions: I: R$S ⇒ R < S (Not true)
II. R % S ? R > S (Not true)
12.4; Statements: M # K ⇒ M = K
K % P ⇒ K > P
P $ R ⇒ P < R
Conclusions: I. R$M ⇒R < M (Not true)
II. P % M ⇒ P > M (Not true)
13.2; Statements: A $ B ⇒ A < B
B # D ⇒ B = D
D % C ⇒ D > C
Conclusions: I. D $ A ? D < A (Not true)
II. B % C ? B > C (True)
14.4; P + Q – T ⇒ T is either brother or sister of P.
15. 3; P ÷ Q × R
R is father of P.
16.3; jo ka ra ⇒ go for walk
ma fo ka ⇒ do not walk
sa ta jo ⇒ good for you
17. 5; 108 ⇒ 1 + 0 + 8 = 9
126 ⇒ 1 + 2 + 6 = 9
153 ⇒ 1 + 5 + 3 = 9
207 ⇒ 2 + 0 + 7 = 9
But, 102 ⇒ 1 + 0 + 2 = 3
18.3; 3 2 7 6 1 5 8
1 2 3 5 6 7 8
19.2; The colour of clear sky is blue. But here blue is called green.
