Question 561. Question : What is Gagan's age ?
Statements :
I. Gagan, Vimal and Kunal are all of the same age.
II. Total age of Vimal, Kunal and Anil is 32 years and Anil is as old as Vimal and Kunal together.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> Both I and II are sufficient
As given in I and II, we have: G = V = K, V + K + A = 32 and A = V + K.
Putting V + K = A in V + K + A = 32, we have: 2A = 32 or A = 16.
Thus, V + K = 16 and V = K. So, V = K = 8. Thus, G = 8.
Question 562. Question : Who among P, Q, R, S and T is the lightest?
Statements :
I. R is heavier than Q and T but lighter than S.
II. S is not the heaviest.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Neither I nor II is sufficient
From I, we have: R>Q, R>T, S>R i.e. S>R>Q>T or S>R>T>Q.
From II, S is not the heaviest. So, P is the heaviest. Thus, we have: P > S > R > Q > T or P > S > R > T > Q. Hence, either T or Q is the lightest.
Question 563. Question : Among Monika, Anita, Sonal, Ratna and Tanvy, who came last for the programme ?
Statements :
I. Monika came after Anita but not after Tanvy.
II. Ratna came after Tanvy but not after Sonal.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> Both I and II are sufficient
From I, we have the order : A, M, T.
From II, we have the order: T, R, S.
Combining the above two, we get the order: A, M, T, R, S.
Thus, Sonal came last for the programme.
Question 564. Question : How much money do Vivek and Suman have together ?
Statements :
I. Suman has 20 rupees less than what Tarun has.
II. Vivek has 30 rupees more than what Tarun has.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Neither I nor II is sufficient
From I, we have: S = T - 20.
From II, we have: V = T + 30.
Thus, from both I and II, we have: V + S = (T + 30) + (T - 20) = (2 T + 10).
So, to get the required amount, we need to know the amount that Tarun has.
Question 565. Question : In a certain code, '13' means 'stop smoking' and '59' means 'injurious habit'. What do '9' and '5' mean respectively in that code ?
Statements :
I. '157' means 'stop bad habit'.
II. '839' means 'smoking is injurious'.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Either I or II is sufficient
'59' means 'injurious habit' and '157' means 'stop bad habit' (from I). Thus, the common code number '5' stands for common word 'habit'. So, '9' represents 'injurious'. Hence, I is sufficient.
Also, '59' means 'injurious habit' and '839' means 'smoking is injurious'. Thus, the common code number '9' stands for common word 'injurious'. So, '5' represents 'habit'. Thus, II is also sufficient.,
Question 566. Question : On which day in April is Gautam's birthday?
Statements :
I. Gautam was born exactly 28 years after his mother was born.
II. His mother will be 55 years 4 months and 5 days on August 18 this year.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> Both I and II are sufficient
Clearly, the birthday of Gautam's mother can be found out from II and then Gautam's birthday can be determined using the fact given in I.
Question 567. Question : What is the code for 'is' in the code language ?
Statements :
I. In the code language, 'shi tu ke' means 'pen is blue'.
II. In the same code language, 'ke si re' means 'this is wonderful'.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> Both I and II are sufficient
In I and II, the common word is 'is' and the common code word is 'ke'. So, 'ke' is the code for 'is'.
Question 568. Question : Among A, B, C, D and E, who is in the middle while standing in a row ?
Statements :
I. C, who is third to the left of D, is to the immediate right of A and second to the left of E.
II. C is second to the left of E, who is not at any of the ends and who is third to the right of A. D is at one of the ends.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Either I or II is sufficient
From each one of I and II, we get the order : A, C, B, E, D. Clearly, B is in the middle.
Question 569. Question : How is 'No' coded in the code language ?
Statements :
I. 'Ne Pa Sic Lo' means 'But No None And' and 'Pa Lo Le Ne' means 'If None And But'.

  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
In the two statements given in I, the common words are 'But', 'None', 'And' and the common code words are 'Ne', 'Pa', ,'Lo'. So, 'Ne', 'Pa' and 'Lo' are codes for 'But', 'None' and 'And'. Thus, in the first statement, 'Sic' is the code for 'No'.
Question 570. Question : Among A, B, C, D, E and F, who is the heaviest ?
Statements :
I. A and D are heavier than B, E and F but none of them is the heaviest.
II. A is heavier than D but lighter than C.
  1.    I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  2.    II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  3.    Either I or II is sufficient
  4.    Neither I nor II is sufficient
  5.    Both I and II are sufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
From I, we conclude that since none of A and D is the heaviest and each one of B, E and F is lighter than both A and D, so C is the heaviest.
