Correct Answer: 63
Explanation:
Total number of matches is 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 +2 + 1 = 63
Or else since total number of players is 64 hence number of matches must be 64 - 1 = 63
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Since 64 = 26 hence we will have total 7th stages in the tournament with last 7th stage is the final match.
Correct Answer: An unhappy child usually cries.
Explanation:
Lets eliminate options one by one-
Option A: Child is hungry, So, from (ii) child is crying, but we cannot say anything about the child liking milk or not.
Option B: A child is crying, but from this we cannot say anything regarding the child being hungry or unhappy.
Option C: The statements are not speaking about the happy child.
Option D: Unhappy children are hungry and hungry children cry. So choice (D) is most logically supported.
Correct Answer: Whenever there is a fire, an automatic alarm is set off in the fire department.
Explanation:
Lets eliminate options one by one-
Option A: Cannot be true since we cannot infer anything if we know that an automatic alarm is set off at the fire department.
Option B: If sprinklers do not start then the fire alarm doesn't go off. Further we cannot say anything about the automatic alarm at the fire department.
Option C: When there is a fire the fire alarm goes off so sprinklers start. Hence an automatic alarm is set off at the fire department.
Option (D) is similarly ruled out.
Correct Answer: Anyone getting admission in one of the IIMs is guaranteed to get admission in one of the IITs or IISc.
