Analytical Reasoning problems
- 1. A line is an undefined term because it
Options- A. line segment
- B. vertex
- C. focus
- D. major axis Also asked in: Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, Database Administrator, IT Trainer, Network Engineer, Project Manager
Correct Answer: A line is an undefined term because it
Explanation:
1. Contains an infinite number of points
2. can be used to create other geometric shapes
3. is a term that does not have a formal definition
In Geometry, unless it's stated, a line will extend in one dimension and goes on forever in both ways.
- 2. A university library budget committee must reduce exactly five of eight areas of expenditure?I, J, K, L, M, N, O and P?in accordance with the following conditions: If both I and O are reduced, P is also reduced. If L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. If M is reduced, J is not reduced. Of the three areas J, K, and N exactly two are reduced. Question : If both K and N are reduced, which one of the following is a pair of areas neither of which could be reduced?
Options- A. I, L
- B. J, L
- C. J, M
- D. I, J Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, GRE, TOEFL, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, Project Manager, Software Architect
Correct Answer: J, L
Explanation:
This question concerns a committee's decision about which five of eight areas of expenditure to reduce. The question requires you to suppose that K and N are among the areas that are to be reduced, and then to determine which pair of areas could not also be among the five areas that are reduced.
The fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based requires that exactly two of K, N, and J are reduced. Since the question asks us to suppose that both K and N are reduced, we know that J must not be reduced:
Reduced :: K, N
Not reduced :: J
The second condition requires that if L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. So L and N cannot both be reduced. Here, since N is reduced, we know that L cannot be. Thus, adding this to what we've determined so far, we know that J and L are a pair of areas that cannot both be reduced if both K and N are reduced:
Reduced :: K, N
Not reduced :: J, L
Answer choice (B) is therefore the correct answer.
- 3. A line is an undefined term because it
Options- A. contains an infinite number of points
- B. can be used to create other geometric shapes
- C. describes something that does not have width or depth
- D. is a term that does not have a formal definition Also asked in: Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, Database Administrator, IT Trainer, Network Engineer, Project Manager
Correct Answer: contains an infinite number of points
