Now from 1 and 2,
7. U > Z > V
from 7 and 5,
8. Y > U > Z > V
from 4 and 8,
9. X > Y > U > Z > V
from 3, 6 and 9,
X > Y > U > W > Z > V

From the above taste (sweet) ranking, we find that Z is the sweetest.
Correct Answer: Siya - Riya - Priya - Tiya - Diya
Explanation:
Given, Siya > Priya > Tiya ........(i)
Siya > Riya > Priya ........(ii)
and Riya > Tiya > Diya .........(iii)
On combining Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
Siya > Riya > Priya > Tiya > Diya
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
According 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.

Correct Answer: R was less effective than P.
Explanation:
According to the question,
P was more effective than Q.
1. P > Q.
The effectiveness of R was less than that of S.
2. S > R.
T was the least effective brand tested.
3. T is least effective.
Q and R were equally effective.
4. Q = R.
The effectiveness of S was greater than that of Q.
5. S > Q.
from 1 and 5 ,
6. S/P > Q .
from 6 and 4 ,
7. S/P > Q = R .
from 7 and 3 ,
? S/P > Q = R > T
R was less effective than p.
Correct Answer: Statements I, II, III and IV
Explanation:
According to the question,
P > Q. S > R
T is least effective Q = R, S > Q
? S/P > Q = R > T
Statement V is not required.
Correct Answer: Atleast four of the six brands tested are less effective than M
Explanation:
According to the question,
P > Q. S > R
T is least effective Q = R, S > Q
? S/P > Q = R > T
It is clear from the ranking order so obtained that brand S may be less effective than P, equal to P or more effective than P. It means that position of S is not fixed. Now as per question, sixth band i.e, M is more effective than S which implies that whatever be the position of S, there will be atleast four brands which will be less effective than M.
