LIC AAO - Reasoning Ability (Mock Test)

Direction: In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion among given some conclusion is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly:

Statement: 

Z < E > A > L = P ≥ R ≤ T = F < U < H = G ≥ C > B = Y

Conclusions:

I. Z < F

II. F > Y

• Only conclusion I is true
• Only conclusion II is true
• Both conclusion I and II are true
• Neither conclusion I nor II is true
• Either I or II is true

Solution

Statement: 

Z < E > A > L = P ≥ R ≤ T = F < U < H = G ≥ C > B = Y

Conclusions:

I. Z < F → False (Z < E > A > L = P ≥ R ≤ T = F → No definite relation between the two can be determined) 

II. F > Y → False (F < U < H = G ≥ C > B = Y → No definite relation between the two can be determined) 

Hence, Neither conclusion I nor II is true.

Directions: In the following question, assume the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusions among given conclusions is/are definitely true, and then give your answers accordingly.

Statements: W > B > H > N; L > J > K > N

Conclusions:

I. L > B

II. H > J

• Only I follow
• Only II follow
• Both I and II follow
• Either I or II follow
• Neither I nor II follow

Solution

Given statements: W > B > H > N; L > J > K > N

On combining: W > B > H > N < K < J < L

Conclusions: 

I. L > B → False (On combining the two statements we get W > B > H > N < K < J < L, as there is no definite path the conclusion L > B is false)

II. H > J → False (On combining the two statements we get W > B > H > N < K < J < L, as there is no definite path the conclusion H > J is false)

Hence, Neither I nor II follow is the correct answer.

Directions: Study the following information and answer the given questions: 

Band and Bob are standing in a row, where Band is 18^th from the left end of the row and Bob is 24^th from the right end of the row. If both of them interchange their positions, then Band becomes 30^th from the left end.

Question:

Find the new position of Bob from the right end?

• 34
• 35
• 38
• 37
• None of these

Solution

Position of Band from the left  end: 18^th

Position of Bob from the right end: 24^th 

Hence, we can conclude,

There are 17 persons before Band and 23 persons after Bob.

If the position of Band and Bob is interchanged,

Position of Band from the left end: 30^th

Hence, we can conclude that there are 29 persons standing before Bob.

The total number of persons in the row: 29 + 24 = 53

The new position of Bob is Band's previous position, 

Since Band was 18^th from the left end and there are 53 persons in the row, there are 35 peoples (53 - 18) are standing after Band. 

Hence, Band is 36^th from the right end and so Bob in the case.

Hence, None of these is the correct answer.

Directions: Study the following information and answer the given questions: 

Band and Bob are standing in a row, where Band is 18^th from the left end of the row and Bob is 24^th from the right end of the row. If both of them interchange their positions, then Band becomes 30^th from the left end.

Question:

Find the number of peoples in the row?

• 52
• 53
• 51
• 54
• Cannot be determined 

Solution

Position of Band from the left  end: 18^th

Position of Bob from the right end: 24^th 

Hence, we can conclude,

There are 17 persons before Band and 23 persons after Bob.

If the position of Band and Bob is interchanged,

Position of Band from the left end: 30^th

Hence, we can conclude that there are 29 persons standing before Bob.

The total number of persons in the row: 29 + 24 = 53

Hence, 53 is the correct answer.
