There are three boxes of different colours – Green, Blue and Red; and 6 toys of which 2 are of Greencolour, 2 are of Blue colour and 2 are of Red colour. The toys are packed in the three boxes such that each box has 2 toys of different colours in it and also the colour of the box is different from the toys packed in it. Now, 10 chocolates are kept in three different boxes in such way that the Green box has the maximum possible chocolates whereas the Red box has the least possible chocolates in it. Each box should have at least one chocolate. Which of the following is probably true?
- A.
The Green box, the Blue box and the Red box have 6, 3 and 1 chocolates/s in them respectively.
- B.
The box which has the toys of Red and Blue colours has 8 chocolates in it.
- C.
The box which has the toys of Blue and Green colours has 3 chocolates in it.
- D.
The box which has the toys of Green and Red colours has 2 chocolates in it.
Correct Answer
B. The box which has the toys of Red and Blue colours has 8 chocolates in it.Explanation
The answer is probably true because it states that the box which has the toys of Red and Blue colors has 8 chocolates in it. This aligns with the condition given in the question that the Red box has the least possible chocolates, and the Green box has the maximum possible chocolates. Since the Green box already has 6 chocolates, it is unlikely that it would have an additional 2 chocolates from the Red and Blue toys. Therefore, the box with the Red and Blue toys is more likely to have the remaining chocolates, making the statement probably true.Rate this question:

Directions for question 2: These questions are based on the data given below. Eight persons – A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H – are sitting in eight chairs all of which are facing the same directions. The eight chairs are arranged in two rows and four columns. Also, the following information is known. (i) A and F sit at either ends but in different rows and different columns. (ii) G and C sit at either ends but in different rows. (iii) E and B sit in different rows and in different columns (iv) D sits in the same row as F, but to the right of G. (v) A sits ahead of G. If E sits adjacent to A, then which of the following statements must be true?
- A.
B sits adjacent to G
- B.
H sits adjacent to B
- C.
B sits exactly between F and D
- D.
E sits exactly between H and C
Correct Answer
B. H sits adjacent to BExplanation
If E sits adjacent to A, it means that E and A are sitting next to each other. According to statement (v), A sits ahead of G. Therefore, G must be sitting behind A. Since G and C sit at either ends but in different rows according to statement (ii), C must be sitting behind E. Therefore, E, A, G, and C are sitting in a row.
According to statement (iv), D sits in the same row as F, but to the right of G. Since G is sitting behind A, and A is sitting ahead of G, D must be sitting to the right of A. Therefore, the only available position for D is to be sitting next to B. This means that H must be sitting adjacent to B, making the statement "H sits adjacent to B" true.Rate this question:

Therefore, the statement "Hyderabad is visited by Mill" is the only statement that cannot be true.Rate this question:

Directions for questions 8 to 12: Select the correct alternative from the given choices. Without doubt, the confusion and the controversy in the power sector is a dark reminder of the government’s patchy approach to privatization. Perhaps the only area where the government has come shining through is in the successful removal of the barriers to the entry of corporates into the sector. Concerns about the trade-off between growth and inflation are dogging the Malaysian economy. The government has outlined steps to curb inflationary pressures while sustaining economic growth at a lower rate. Which of the following, if true, would confirm that the Malaysian government has taken a sub-optimal approach to solving its problem?
- A.
Inflationary pressure have been known to ebb after periodic spurt
- B.

- C.

- D.
Investments in the Malaysian economy will slow down if the government pursues a low growth policy
Correct Answer
B. Several countries have managed to sustain high growth in the economy even as supply-side measures were used to douse inflationary pressureExplanation
The fact that several countries have managed to sustain high growth in the economy while using supply-side measures to control inflationary pressure suggests that the Malaysian government's approach of curbing inflation while sacrificing economic growth is sub-optimal. This implies that there are alternative strategies that can be employed to achieve both objectives simultaneously, indicating that the Malaysian government's approach is not the most effective or efficient way to solve the problem.Rate this question:

- C.

Correct Answer
C. Kellogs Foods sold cereals worth ` 1500 crores last year. It also sold other foods worth`600 crore last yearExplanation
The conclusion drawn above is unwarranted because the fact that Kellogs Foods sold cereals worth `1500 crores last year and other foods worth `600 crore last year does not provide any information about the barriers to entry of corporates into the power sector or the government's approach to privatization in the power sector. The conclusion is about the government's success in removing barriers to entry in the power sector, not about the sales of Kellogs Foods.Rate this question:

Coalition government is headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, which consists BJP. Its allies and other small groups is likely to take office at the centre in the next few days, though the NF-left was also making efforts yesterday to put together the required numbers by splitting the Congress. Which of the following, if true, would most damage the author’s prediction?

- D.

Correct Answer
B. The NF-Left won enough seats in Bihar and UP had bridge the required gap and attain a simple majorityExplanation
The author predicts that the coalition government, headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and consisting of BJP allies and other small groups, will take office at the center. However, if the NF-Left won enough seats in Bihar and UP to bridge the required gap and attain a simple majority, it would damage the author's prediction. This is because the NF-Left would then have the potential to form their own government, potentially excluding the coalition government from taking office.Rate this question:

Five people Pradeep, Qutub, Raj, Sandy and Tej are in a row. Raj sits to the immediate right of Tej. If Pradeep and Qutub have only two persons sitting between them, which of the following must be true?
- A.
Pradeep is at one extreme end of the row
- B.
Qutab is sitting beside Pradeep
- C.
Tej or Raj must be at one extreme end of the row
- D.
Sandy must be at one of the ends of the row
