Suggested Method for questions like THIS • In questions of this type, what is required is to establish the relationships among the members of a whole family and not between two persons as in E.g. 1. such question can be easily solved by drawing a family tree dragram. • Drawing a family tree. • (a) Vertical or diagonal lines should be used to represent parent- child relationships. • (b) A double horizontal line ( like ) should be used to represent marriages. • (c) a dashed line should be used to represent brother or sister relationships. • (d) Put a + sign before someone who is a male and a - sign before some one who is a female. • (e) Whenever something is not known put a? mark or some symbol (x, y, z, @, $ ......) 11. 11. • For example, consider the following diagram • The above diagram tells as that • (i) B and D are a couple, D is the husband • while B is the wife. • (ii) B has a brother A. • (iii) The couple, B and D have three children F, E and G. (Note : Apart from vertical or diagonal lines, son or daughter are also easily established if two persons are connected be dashed lines. Also Note that • E is the brother of F even though there is no dashed line, but they have the same root.) • Of three children E is male, G is female, but the sex of F is not known. • (iv) C and G are a couple, C is the husband and G is the wife. • They have one child H whose sex is not known 12. 12. Points to be Noted : (i) It is advisable to being with a sentence that gives information about parent- child relationship. • Grandfather-grandmother relationships and brother-sister relatioships should be touched later. (ii) Try your best that you do not draw a new diagram for every new information that you read. • Instead, try to 'add' to the existing diagram on reading a new information. 13. 13. • In a family, there are six members A, B,C, D, E, and F. A and B are a married couple, A being the male member. D is the only son of C, who is the brother of A. E is the sister of D. B is the daughter-in-law of F, whose husband has died. 1. How is F related to A? • 1) Mother (2) Sister-in-law (3) Sister (4) Mother-in-law (5) None of these 2. How is E related to C? • (1) Sister (2) Daughter (3) Cousin (4) Mother (5) None of these 3. Who is C to B ? • (1) Brother (2) Brother-in-law (3) Son-n-law (4) Nephew (5) None of these 14. 14. In a family, there are six members A, B,C, D, E, and F. A and B are a married couple, A being the male member. D is the only son of C, who is the brother of A. E is the sister of D. B is the daughter- in-law of F, whose husband has died. • We start with the 3rd sentence, since it given a parent-child relationship. • The diagram is: • Now, we should look for a sentence that given information about A or C or D, The second sentence is appropriate. Incorporating it into the diagram, we have • Now, we incorporate the fourth sentence: • Finally, we incorporate the last sentence. Note that F must be a female because her husband has died. [One who has/had a husband must be a female.] Recommended

1. 1. DATA SUFFICIENCY 2. 2. DATA SUFFICIENCY 3. 3. DATA SUFFICIENCY 4. 4. DATA SUFFICIENCY 5. 5. DATA SUFFICIENCY 6. 6. DATA SUFFICIENCY 7. 7. • If you find the statement (i) alone is sufficient to answer the question do not blindly put down • A and go on to the next problem. Look at statement (2) alone also. If (2) also is sufficient, the • answer is “D”. • The Data Sufficiency questions usually have two types of solutions. One, in which you are • required to determine only yes or no as the answer, and other, in which a numerical solution • is required. For example, 8. 8. • Solution Type I • The Data Sufficiency questions which require only a „yes‟ or „no‟ as the answer may appear • like: • Ø Is Binny taller than Sammy? • Ø Is Manu paying more than she should? • Ø Is x > 0? • Ø Is interest paid to the bank in 5 years more than rs.6000? • Solution Type II • The Data Sufficiency questions which require an actual numerical solution may sound like: • Ø How tall is Binny? • Ø How much Manu is paying to her house-maid? • Ø Determine the value of x? • Ø Calculate the interest earned by the bank on a loan of rs.10000 @ 5% per annum for a • term of 2 years? • REMEMBER YOU SHOULD NOT SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. JUST CHECK • WHETHER THE GIVEN DATA IS SUFFICIENT TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. • You should review the basic concepts of highschool algebra and plane geometry (upto +2 • level). You need not have advanced mathematics background. 9. 9. • Examples: • How much change does Mahesh receive from a `.5 note? • (i) Mahesh buys a total of 6 oranges at 50 paise each. . • (ii) Mahesh receives more than `.3 in change. 10. 10. • Look at (I). If Mahesh buys a total of 6 oranges at 50 paise each, it is easy to find how much money Mahesh spends. There is no need to multiply 6 and 50 paise. We can easily find the change from rs.5 note. • Statement (II) does not tell us anything definite so it cannot be used to answer the question. • Thus Choice A is correct. 11. 11. • How many people are there at the party? • (i) The party has between 20 and 30 people. • (ii) The number of the people at the party is a prime number between 24 and 30. (A prime number cannot be divisible by another number except one and the same number). 12. 12. • Certainly statement (I) alone cannot answer the question. Now look at statement (II). • The only prime number between 24 and 30 is 29. • Thus statement (II) alone is sufficient to answer the question. • Thus Choice B is correct. 13. 13. • Is x + y positive? • (i) x3 = 20 y • (ii) y3 = -129 14. 14. • Look at statement (I). • This does not tell us anything about x + y. • Now, look at the second statement (II). • This tells us that y is negative (since y3 is negative). • But this does not answer our question. • However if y is negative according to statement (II), then according to statement (I) x is also negative. Therefore x + y must be negative 15. 15. • The first statement implies that y2 > 38 • So statement (I) implies that y2 > 38.and we have answered the question. • Now look at the statement (II). • If y = 7, then y2=49 and certainly 49 > 37. • Thus statement (II) answers our question. Since both the statements (I) and (II) answer our question by themselves, choice D is correct 16. 16. • What is the perimeter of the triangle ABC? • (i) Triangle ABC is a right triangle. • (ii) The area of triangle ABC = 30. 17. 17. • Statement (I) alone certainly does not answer our question because the fact that a triangle is a right triangle. Statement (II) tells us that the area is 30. • Statement (2) alone will not tell us what the perimeter of the triangle is.Suppose we look at the statements (I) and (II) together. • Let the sides of the right triangle be x , y ,z. where z is the hypotenuse. The area of the triangle is ½ xy = 30 • We cannot determine the perimeter. So,Choice E is correct. 18. 18. • The ratio of the prices of three different types of cars is 3:2:5. Find the price of the car of medium price. • A) The difference between the costliest and the cheapest cars is `.30,000. • B) The Cheapest car costs `.20,000. • Ans: C 19. 19. DS – Ages • Find the age of Amar‟s Wife • A. Amar told Bhavan, “My wife is 24 years older than your daughter. Your wife is 6 years older than my son.” • B. Bhavan told Amar, “ Your wife is as much older than my wife as 7 times the age of my daughter is more than your son‟s age. • Sol: 4 Amar Bhavan Wife y + 24 x Son x – 6 y Given 7y – (x) = (y+24) – (x–6) 20. 20.
