DIRECTIONS for questions: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.
The capital city of the kingdom of Alami has the royal palace in the centre, with five fortifications, labelled F1 to F5, surrounding the palace. All the Alami soldiers are always present at the royal palace unless ordered to move to a fortification. An enemy kingdom Bagami planned to attack the royal palace and built camps around the fortifications. The Bagamis built seven camps - E1 to E7 - around the Alami fortifications and each Bagami camp had a certain number of soldiers. The soldiers from a given Bagami camp can attack only some of the fortifications, as indicated in the diagrambelow. However, all the soldiers from a single Bagami camp need not necessarily attack the same fortification. The Alami king came to know about this and was planning to send his soldiers to the fortifications.
The following diagram shows the royal palace (P), fortifications (F1 to F5) and enemy (Bagami) camps (E1 to E7). The solid lines in the figure represent the respective fortification to which the Alami soldiers can be deployed from the palace. The dotted lines from each enemy camp represent the fortifications that the soldiers from that enemy camp can attack. The numbers inside each enemy camp represent the number of soldiers stationed in that camp.
Assume that all the Bagami soldiers attack the fortifications that they are assigned to at the same time and each soldier will attack exactly one fortification. Also, a higher numerical strength in terms of soldiers will assure victory to any side in such a manner that, if, say, 10 Bagami soldiers attack a fortification with 11 Alami soldiers, all the Bagami soldiers will die and the fortification will remain safe, but with only 1 Alami soldier remaining alive. If the number of Bagami soldiers attacking a fortification is equal to the number of Alami soldiers at the fortification, all the soldiers belonging to both the sides will die but the fortification will remain safe. In a similar manner, if the number of Bagami soldiers attacking is in excess of the number of Alami soldiers, the fortification will be destroyed, but with only the excess number of Bagami soldiers remaining alive.
Q. If the Alami king wants to save at least three fortifications from being destroyed, what is the minimum number of soldiers that he must deploy?
  • a)
    168
  • b)
    309
  • c)
    427
  • d)
    376

If three fortifications are to be saved from destruction, minimum of soldiers will be required to protect F3, F4 and F5. Hence, total number of soldiers required = 132+ 109+ 135 = 376.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:Assuming it therefore as an established truth that the several States, in case of disunion, or such combinations of them as might happen to be formed out of the wreck of the general Confederacy, would be subject to those vicissitudes of peace and war, of friendship and enmity, with each other, which have fallen to the lot of all neighboring nations not united under one government, let us enter into a concise detail of some of the consequences that would attend such a situation.War between the States, in the first period of their separate existence, would be accompanied with much greater distresses than it commonly is in those countries where regular military establishments have long obtained. The disciplined armies always kept on foot on the continent of Europe, though they bear a malignant aspect to liberty and economy, have, notwithstanding, been productive of the signal advantage of rendering sudden conquests impracticable, and of preventing that rapid desolation which used to mark the progress of war prior to their introduction. The art of fortification has contributed to the same ends. The nations of Europe are encircled with chains of fortified places, which mutually obstruct invasion. Campaigns are wasted in reducing two or three frontier garrisons, to gain admittance into an enemys country. Similar impediments occur at every step, to exhaust the strength and delay the progress of an invader. Formerly, an invading army would penetrate into the heart of a neighboring country almost as soon as intelligence of its approach could be received; but now a comparatively small force of disciplined troops, acting on the defensive, with the aid of posts, is able to impede, and finally to frustrate, the enterprises of one much more considerable. The history of war, in that quarter of the globe, is no longer a history of nations subdued and empires overturned, but of towns taken and retaken; of battles that decide nothing; of retreats more beneficial than victories; of much effort and little acquisition.In this country the scene would be altogether reversed. The jealousy of military establishments would postpone them as long as possible. The want of fortifications, leaving the frontiers of one state open to another, would facilitate inroads. The populous States would, with little difficulty, overrun their less populous neighbors. Conquests would be as easy to be made as difficult to be retained. War, therefore, would be desultory and predatory. Plunder and devastation ever march in the train of irregulars. The calamities of individuals would make the principal figure in the events which would characterize our military exploits.This picture is not too highly wrought; though, I confess, it would not long remain a just one. Safety from external danger is the most powerful director of national conduct. Even the ardent love of liberty will, after a time, give way to its dictates. The violent destruction of life and property incident to war, the continual effort and alarm attendant on a state of continual danger, will compel nations the most attached to liberty to resort for repose and security to institutions which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more safe, they at length become willing to run the risk of being less free.Q.4 hypothetical statements are given below. Which of the following statements can definitely be said to be false using the information given in the passage?

In a similar manner, if the number of Bagami soldiers attacking is in excess of the number of Alami soldiers, the fortification will be destroyed, but with only the excess number of Bagami soldiers remaining alive.Q. If the Alami king wants to save at least three fortifications from being destroyed, what is the minimum number of soldiers that he must deploy?a)168b)309c)427d)376Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer? has been provided alongside types of DIRECTIONS for questions: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below. The capital city of the kingdom of Alami has the royal palace in the centre, with five fortifications, labelled F1 to F5, surrounding the palace. All the Alami soldiers are always present at the royal palace unless ordered to move to a fortification. An enemy kingdom Bagami planned to attack the royal palace and built camps around the fortifications. The Bagamis built seven camps - E1 to E7 - around the Alami fortifications and each Bagami camp had a certain number of soldiers. The soldiers from a given Bagami camp can attack only some of the fortifications, as indicated in the diagrambelow. However, all the soldiers from a single Bagami camp need not necessarily attack the same fortification. The Alami king came to know about this and was planning to send his soldiers to the fortifications.The following diagram shows the royal palace (P), fortifications (F1 to F5) and enemy (Bagami) camps (E1 to E7). The solid lines in the figure represent the respective fortification to which the Alami soldiers can be deployed from the palace. The dotted lines from each enemy camp represent the fortifications that the soldiers from that enemy camp can attack. The numbers inside each enemy camp represent the number of soldiers stationed in that camp.Assume that all the Bagami soldiers attack the fortifications that they are assigned to at the same time and each soldier will attack exactly one fortification. Also, a higher numerical strength in terms of soldiers will assure victory to any side in such a manner that, if, say, 10 Bagami soldiers attack a fortification with 11 Alami soldiers, all the Bagami soldiers will die and the fortification will remain safe, but with only 1 Alami soldier remaining alive. If the number of Bagami soldiers attacking a fortification is equal to the number of Alami soldiers at the fortification, all the soldiers belonging to both the sides will die but the fortification will remain safe. In a similar manner, if the number of Bagami soldiers attacking is in excess of the number of Alami soldiers, the fortification will be destroyed, but with only the excess number of Bagami soldiers remaining alive.Q.
