Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 7

Directions (7-8): Read the following data and use it for answering the questions that follow:

A sales representative plans to visit each of six companies M, N, P, Q, R and S exactly once during the course of one day.
She is setting up her schedule for the day according to the following conditions.

(1) She must visit M before N and before R
(2) She must visit N before Q
(3) The third company she visits must be P

Q. 

Which of the following could be the order in which the sales representative visits the six companies?

Detailed Solution for Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 7

Correct Answer :- b

Explanation : From data 1 : - M > N, M > R

From data 2 : - N > Q

 

Combining these two, M > N > Q and M > R.

Now look for the informations given in each question and combining these with the information 

M > N > Q, M > R and  _ _  P _ _.

 

S is first

S _ P _ _ _ (P is third)

Also M must be followed by N, Q and R.

M must be visited second

 

Since P is third and there are only three places behind P. Also M must be followed by three N, Q and R. Hence, M cannot come before P. i.e. immediately after P she can visit any company except M.


According to the information, P must be in the third place and the order M N Q must not be violated. This is followed only in the arrangement M S P N R Q.

Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 8

A sales representative plans to visit each of six companies M, N, P, Q, R and S exactly once during the course of one day.

(1) She must visit M before N and before R
(2) She must visit N before Q
(3) The third company she visits must be P

Q. 

Which of the following must be true of the sales representative’s schedule for the day?

Detailed Solution for Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 8

It's clear from the given data that she visits M before N and N before Q, so this means she visits M before Q.

There isn't any clear information that whether she visits R first or N first.

Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 9

Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 11

Count the number of rectangles in the given figure.

Detailed Solution for Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 11

The figure may be labelled as shown.

The rectangles composed of two components each are HIJE, EKJ,F, FMNG, GPQH, AEOH, EBFO, OFCG and HOGD i.e. 8 in number.
The rectangles composed of four components each are ABFH, BCGE, CDHF, DAEG and EFGH i.e. 5 in number.
The rectangles composed of six components each are IJFG, KLGH, MNHE and PQEF i.e. 4 in number.
The rectangles composed of eight components each are IJMN, KLPQ and ABCD i.e. 3 in number.
Thus, there are 8 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 20 rectangles in the given figure. (Here note that the squares are also counted amongst rectangles)

Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 19

Directions for Questions 19 – 21: The questions in this section are based on the reasoning contained in brief statements or passages. For some questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer.

Q.

Millions of female bats rear their pups in Bracken Cave. Although the mothers all leave the cave nightly, on their return each mother is almost always swiftly reunited with her own pup. Since the bats calls are their only means of finding one another, and a bat pup cannot distinguish the call of its mother from that of any other adult bat, it is clear that each mother bat can recognize the call of her pup.

The argument seeks to do which one of the following?

Detailed Solution for Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 19

Answer choice (A) Since the argument does not involve comparison between a sample and a population, it is unlikely that the argument generalizes from a small group, and this choice is wrong. Furthermore, this choice can be seen as somewhat contradictory, as pups seem different from the mothers.

Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. The argument attempts to arrive at a final explanation by eliminating options.

Answer choice (C) Since the argument does not describe the mechanism by which mothers use calls to locate their pups, this choice is wrong.

Answer choice (D) Since the argument implies that the pups and mothers may be different in their ability to distinguish calls, it does not follow that argument makes conclusions based on similarities.

Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 20

Someone who gets sick from eating a meal will often develop a strong distaste for the one food in the meal that had the most distinctive flavor, whether or not that food caused the sickness. This phenomenon explains why children are especially likely to develop strong aversion to some foods.

Which one of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for the explanation?

Detailed Solution for Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 20

Answer Choice (A): This answer choice is incorrect because if actually weakens the argument. If children are more likely to get food without distinctive flavor, they are less likely to develop aversions.

Answer Choice (B): This answer choice is incorrect because it is entirely unrelated to the stimulus. If anything, this answer offers another reason for children to develop aversions: they don't see the health benefits of some foods so they go by taste alone.

Answer Choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. It fills in the gap that the stimulus is missing. Children tend to have more acute taste and become sick, which connects the element in the premise, sickness, with the new element in the conclusion, children. If children are more likely to become sick, they are more likely to develop distaste, based on the premise.

Answer Choice (D): This answer choice is incorrect because it is dealing with recovering from sickness, which has nothing to do with actually getting sick or developing a distaste for food.

Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 21

Premiums for automobile accident insurance are often higher for red cars than for cars of other colours. To justify these higher charges, insurance companies claim that overall, a greater percentage of red cars are involved in accidents than are cars of any other colour. If this claim is true, then lives could undoubtedly be saved by banning red cars from the roads altogether.

Detailed Solution for Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 21

The causal connection between red color and accidents has been destroyed. If bad drivers prefer red, then they are the cause of the accidents, not the red color. Therefore, if the red cars were banned, these drivers would just have to buy other cars and lives would not be saved or accidents reduced.

Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 25

A bowl of sweets was placed on a table to be distributed among three brothers – Rajan, Sajal and Karan. Rajan arrived first and ate what he thought was his share of sweets and left. Then, Sajal arrived. He thought that he was the first one to arrive and ate the number of sweets, he thought was his share and left. Lastly, Karan arrived. He again thought he was the first one to arrive and he took what he thought was his share. If 16 sweets are left in the bowl finally, how many sweets did the bowl contain initially?

Detailed Solution for Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 25

Cleary, each of the three boys ate one-third of the sweets they found in the bowl. So, let us consider the initial number of sweets to be (3 x 3 x 3) x i.e., 27x.
Then, sweets taken by Rajan 
Sweets taken by Sajal
Sweets taken by Karan
∴ 8x = 16 or x = 2.
Hence, total number of sweets in the bowl = 27x = (27 x 2) = 54.

However, he did not break any egg. If, in the end, the vendor was left three eggs, how many eggs did he have initially?

Detailed Solution for Test: Analytical Reasoning- 1 - Question 26

Suppose the vendor initially has x eggs with him.
Then, eggs sold to 1st customer = 
remaining eggs = 
eggs sold to 2nd customer =

remaining eggs =

eggs sold to 3rd customer =

remaining eggs =
