Analytical Reasoning problems
- 1. What do you understand by - 'If K is there L has to be there'
Options- A. K & L will always be together
- B. K is not there, then L will not be there
- C. k is there, then L will also be there
- D. K & L will always be not together Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, GRE, TOEFL, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, IT Trainer
Correct Answer: k is there, then L will also be there
Explanation:
This would not mean that K and L will always be together. It just implies that, if K is there, then L will also be there.
At the same time, it can happen that L is there but K isn't.
Remember, the condition is on K, not on L.
- 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.
