Try yourself:A bungalow has one of its room located on the first floor and there are three identical 100 watt electrical bulbs fixed in the room. Each bulb is connected to a specific switch located at the basement. There are only three switches in the basement. All the bulbs are switched off at present and you are also at the basement area. The first floor cannot be seen from the basement area. If you are allowed to use your common prudence, what is the minimum number of times that you will have to go from basement to first floor to identify which switch goes to which bulb?
Explanation
Given that there are 3 bulbs and 3 switches.
First, we switch on the first switch and switch it off after some time. And then switch off the second switch and check the basement
The bulb which is off but a little bit warm corresponds to switch 1. The on bulb corresponds to switch 2 and remaining 1 is connected to switch 3.
Hence we need to check only once

Try yourself:Mr. Peter gave his eldest son David a bag with 1000 gold coins. David took 230 gold coins from the bag and gave the rest to his younger brothers John, Joe and Jonathan, and advised them to distribute the balance left in the bag amongst themselves in proportion to their age which together amounted to 17.5 years. After a lot of deliberation and discussion John, Joe and Jonathan came to a conclusion to distribute the gold coins. Their methodology was as follows: As often John took 4 gold coins, Joe took 3. As often John took 6 gold coins Jonathan took 7. What was the age of John, Joe and Jonathan ?
Explanation
BY using their methodology, we can create a table as:
Now, if we distribute 12 coins to John, we will have the following gold coins for the rest using the ratio mentioned above:
The given ratio, 12:9:14 is also the ratio of their ages.
For the sum of their ages to be 12+9+14=35 years, Age of John, Joe and Jonathon are 12, 9 and 14 years respectively.
So, if the sum of their ages amount to 17.5 which is half of 35,
their ages will be 6, 4.5 and 7 years respectively

Try yourself:Mohan has an antique clock which strikes and makes loud gong sound every hour. It strikes the exact number of times indicating the time of the day or night. His clock takes seven seconds to strike Seven O' clock, how many seconds will his clock take to strike Eleven O'clock?
Explanation
After making the first gong, it has a gap of 6 time periods to complete the 7 gongs.
In other words, let us assume that at t=0, the first loud gong took place at 7 O' clock. After a period of 6 equal time periods, all the 7 gongs were made.
So, 6 time period = 7 seconds.
1 Time period = 7/6 sec
Similarly, at 11 O' clock, after the first gong, the remaining 10 gongs will sound at an interval of 10 equal time periods.
So, time taken = 10 x 7/6 sec = 70/6 sec = 11.67 seconds.

Question for LRDI For SNAP 2015
Try yourself:Fifteen years back, Ms. Kalpana had three sons Ramesh, Suresh and Rajesh. The sum of the age of Ramesh, Suresh and Rajesh was equal to half of the age of their mother. It was during the next five years when Mahesh was born. Then the age of Ms. Kalpana was equal to the sum of the ages of all her children. Time went on and years passed and Dinesh was bom and age of Ramesh equaled the sum of the ages of Rajesh and Mahesh. Now, it so happened that the sum of the ages of Ramesh, Suresh, Rajesh, Mahesh and Dinesh was double the age of their mother and was also equal to the sum of the ages of Suresh and Ramesh. Also Ramesh's age was equal to sum of the ages of Mahesh and Dinesh. What is the age of Ms. Kalpana?
Explanation
Let G, S, R & N be their ages 15 years back. Let Amit & Keshav be born after x & y years, Thus their ages after 15 years can be written as
Ax & K - y respectively. Thus the following equations are formed:
G = 2 (S + R + N)……………………..(1)
2(G + 15) = (S + 15) + (R + 15) + (N + 15) + {A + (15 x)}+ {K + (15 - y) }.....(2)
S + 15 = {A + (15 - x)}+ {K + (15 - y)}........(3)
G + 15 = (S + 15) + (R + 15).......(4)
Substituting equation 3 in 2 & then equation 4 in the new equation formed, we get R = N. Thus G = 24.
Therefore G’s present age is 24 + 15 = 39 years.

Try yourself:LPG subsidy is a stand taken by the government. Linking of Aadhar card to a bank account has been made mandatory for receiving the subsidy. Argument I: All people should give up LPG subsidies. Argument II: To fill the gap between poor and rich.

The premise of the question revolves around LPG subsidy being introduced by the government and that in order to receive the subsidy, Linking of Aadhar card to bank account has been made mandatory. Argument 1 is out of scope as giving up LPG subsidy is not even close to the premise. Argument 2 also falls under the same category, as there is no mention about the rich and poor in the premise.
Also, when we consider the two arguments together, there is no logical link between the two. So, option D.

Try yourself:If CAB is coded as 723 - 5 58 in a coded language then how will DAD be coded ?
Explanation
As per the CAB code, A is coded as 5 and should be the same in case of A in DAD.
For C in the CAB, C is the third letter in the English Alphabet.
So, 1) 32 = 9
2) 93 = 729
3) 729 - 6 = 723.
These 3 steps are followed to find the code of C.
If we cross check with B, the second alphabet,
1) 22 = 4
2) 43 = 64
3) 64 - 6 = 58 - Which is how B is coded.
So, for D- the fourth alphabet, we have
1) 42 = 16
2) 163 = 4096
3) 4096 - 6 = 4090.
So, Option B is the correct one.

Try yourself:If MONEY is coded as 144 200 171 0 600 then DOLLAR is coded as ____.
Explanation
MONEY is coded as 144 200 171 0 600
M = 144 = 13^2-25
O = 200 = 15^2-25
N =171 = 14^2-25
E =0 = 5^2-25
Y = 600 = 25^2-25
So similarly following for Dollar
we get
D = 16-25
O = 225-25
L =144-25
A =1-25
R = 324-25
We get DOLLAR as - 9 200 119 119 - 24 299

Try yourself:There are 100 MBA aspirants in a classroom and 99% of them are engineers. How many engineers must leave the classroom in order to reduce the percentage of engineers in the classroom to 98%?
Explanation
99% of 100 students are engineers means that there are 99 engineers.
Let 'k' be the no. of engineers who leave.
no. of engineers now = 99 - k
total no. of students now = 100 - k
So, (99 - k)/(100 - k) = 0.98
⇒ 99 - k = 0.98(100 - k)
⇒ 0.02 x k = 1
⇒ k = 50

Question for LRDI For SNAP 2015
Try yourself:Which of the following must always be true? I. If C is used W must be added II. If Y is used B must be added III. If C is not used W cannot be added
Explanation
Let us analyze statement 1:
If C is used with B, we cannot add Y and W because of the unhealthy effects stated. But we can use X and Z.
∴ Statement 1 is not always true. Let us analyze statement 2:
If Y is used, we cannot use C for health reasons. But since we have to use 2 taste giving liquids, B has to be used with A.
∴ Statement 2 is always true. Let us analyze statement 3:
If C is not used, we have to use A and B together and B cannot be mixed with W.
∴ Statement 3 is always true.

Try yourself:Which letter from the options given will replace the " ? " in the table given below
Explanation
We have
CAT 389376 DOG
Now CAT = 3 + 1 + 20 =24
242 =576
DOG =4 + 15 + 7 =26

Now following the same pattern :
CAN = 3 + 1 + 14 =18
182 = 324
Now 571536/324 = 1764
Now √1764 = 42
