- Question
- There are four persons A, B, C and D. The total amount of money with A and B together is equal to the total amount of money with C and D together but the total amount of money with B and D together is more than the amount of money with A and C together. The amount of money with A is more than that with B. Who has the least amount of money?
Options- A. B
- B. D
- C. E
- D. Cannot be determined
- Correct Answer
- D
ExplanationAccording to the question,
A + B = C + D; B + D > A + C; A > B
Now, B + D > A + C and A > B
? B + D > A + C > B + C ? B + D > B + C ? D > C
Now, B + D > A + C ? B + D = A + C + K
Also, A + B = C + D ? B - D = C - A
? 2B = 2C + K ? B > C ? A > B > C
D > C
Clearly, each one of A, D and b has more amount than C. Hence, C has the least amount. - 1. Among P, Q, R, S, and T each having a different weight, R is heavier than S but lighter than T. P is lighter than S. Who among them is the heaviest?

Correct Answer: Either T or Q
Explanation:
According to question,
R is heavier than S but lighter than T.
R > S But T > R
Then T > R > S
P is lighter than S.
S > P
Then
T > R > S, S > P ? T > R > S > P
But information about Q is not given, Hence, either T or Q is the heaviest.

Explanation:
_______________________________________________
According to | Leave Date
__________________|____________________________
Seema | 22, 23, 24, 25, 26

but Seema was present on 23rd. Also, it was holiday on 24th and 26th October was Sunday. Hence, possible date may be either 22nd or 25th October
Correct Answer: 75
Explanation:
From among those who passed Neeta is 22nd from the top and Kalyan is 22 +5 = 27th from the top and 34th from the bottom. Therefore, total number of students who passed the examination = 27 + 34 - 1 = 60.
Therefore, total number of students in the class = (60/4) X 5 = 75
Correct Answer: 41
Explanation:
Position of Rekha is 20th from the right which is occupied by Jaya after interchanging takes place and Jaya becomes 22nd from the left. Therefore, total number of students in the row.
(20 + 22) - 1 = 41
Correct Answer: 32
Explanation:
Dilip is 10th from the left and the same position is occupied by Jagdish after interchanging takes place and he becomes 23rd from the right.
Therefore, total number of student in the row = (10 + 23) - 1 = 32
Correct Answer: Siya - Riya - Priya - Tiya - Diya
