DIRECTIONS for questions 1 to 3: Read the following information and answer the questions that follow.

There are five identical looking boxes having different objects in it and every box has a label indicating their
contents. The following is the description of the contents and the label of each box:

Contents Label
Two P ins PP
Two Balls BB
Two Clips CC
One Pin and One Clip PC
One Ball and One Clip BC

Somebody has mischievously interchanged these labels in such a way that no box contains the label correctly
explaining its contents.

1. If the first box opened contained label PP and the second box opened contained label PC and out of
the combined four items, at least one item was a Ball, which of the following will be definitely true?

1. Other three items will not contain two Balls.

2. Other three items will not contain any Clip.
3. Other three items will contain at least one Clip.
4. Other three items will contain at least one P in.
5. None of these

2. If the box PP contained two Clips, the box CC contained two Pins and the box BB contained at least
one Ball, which of the following will definitely not be true?

1. The box BC contains one Pin and one Clip.

2. The box BB contains one Ball and one Clip.
3. The box BC contains two Balls.
4. The box PC contains two Balls.
5. The box PC contains at least one Ball.

3. If the information is available that box PC does not contain either any Pin or any Clip and box PP
does not contain any Pin and box CC contains one Clip and one Ball, which of the following will
definitely be true if only one of the remaining boxes is opened?

1. It will have one Pin and one Clip.

2. It will have at least one Clip.
3. It will have two Pins.
4. It will have at least one Pin.
5. It will have at least two Clips.

DIRECTIONS for questions 4 –6: Read the following information and answer the questions that follow.

A play director is deciding which and how many of her troupe - A, B, C, D, E, F and G - will act in her
forthcoming play. Using her past experience she frames the following guidelines:

A. If A acts, B must act.

B. If B and C both act, D cannot.
C. If C and D both act, F cannot.
D. If D acts, either E or G must also act.
E. Either E or F must act, but they both cannot act.
F. E and G cannot both act.
4. If there have to be a minimum of three actors in the play, which of the following could be the three?

1. A, B, C 2. B, E, G 3. B, E, F 4. C, D, E 5. A, E, G

5. If D and G both are acting in the play, which of the following must be true?

1. C acts 2. E acts 3. F acts 4. B does not act 5. A acts

6. If D and F are not available for the play, which of the following cannot be true?

1. B acts 2. C acts 3. A does not act

4. E does not act 5. All statements are true

DIRECTIONS for questions 7 to 10: Refer to the following information and answer the questions that
follow.

Alord received a large order for stitching school uniforms from Mayflower school and Little Flower School.
He has two cutters who will cut the fabric; five tailors who will do the stitching and two assistants to stitch the
buttons and two buttonholes. Each of these nine persons will work for exactly 10 hours a day. Each of the
Mayflower uniforms requires 20 minutes for cutting the fabric, one hour for stitching and 15 minutes for
stitching button and buttonholes, whereas the Little Flower uniform requires after 30 minutes, 1 hour and 30
minutes respectively for these activities. All the activities can be carried on simultaneously.

7. What is the maximum number of Little Flower uniforms that Alord can complete in a day?

1. 50 2. 20 3. 40 4. 30 5. 60

8. On a particular day, Alord decided to complete 20 Little Flower uniforms. How many Mayflower
uniforms can he complete on the same day?

1. 30 2. 40 3. 20 4. 0 5. 10

9. If Alord decides to complete 30 Little Flower uniforms only and no other on a particular day, how
many total man-hours will be idle?

1. 20 2. 40 3. 5 4. 25 5. 30

10. If he hires one more assistant, what is the maximum number of Mayflower uniforms that he can
complete in a day?

1. 40 2. 50 3. 60 4. 30 5. 45
1. 5 The information given is insufficient as to derive a particular conclusion follows or not. So
answer is 5th option.
2. 3 Since box PP contains two clips, it is infact box CC. Since box CC contains two P ins, it is
infact box PP. Since box BB contains one Ball and no box carries the correct label, it is infact
box BC.
Now, remain the boxes labeled PC and BC which are infact BB and PC. Since no box carries
the correct label, so box PC is infact BB, and box BC is infact PC. Thus, box BC contains one
Pin and one Clip. So, (3) is false. Hence answer is 3rd option.
3. 4 Since the box PC does not contain a Pin or a Clip, so it is infact the box BB contains two Balls.
Since the box PP does not contain any Pin, so it is infact either box BC or CC. Since the box
CC contains one Clip and one Ball, it is infact box BC. So, the box labeled PP is infact box CC.
Now, the remaining two boxes are PP and PC. Thus, if any of them is opened, it will definitely
contain one Pin. So answer is 4th option.
4-6 i) A <=> B
ii) If B & C, then D not possible;
iii) If C & D, then F not possible;
iv) D then E / G must act.
v) E or F must act, but not both together.
vi) E & G not possible together.
4. 4 Choice (i) is out as neither E nor F is there;
Choice (ii) is out as E & G are together.
Choice (iii) E & F are together. So not possible
Choice (v) E & G are together. So not possible
5. 3 Since D, G are both acting in the play, so E is not possible.
Hence it has to be F since one of E or F is compulsory to act.
6. 4 Since F is not available, E has to act on to the essential condition;
7- In this question, making a chart can be very useful to
10. Profile No Work Hrs. Man Hrs. M.F. Unf L.F. Unf
Available (min) (min.)
Cutter 2 10hrs. 20hrs. 20 30
Tailor 5 10hrs. 50hrs. 60 60
Assistant 2 10hrs. 20hrs. 15 30
7. 3 In this question-limiting factor is the time taken by Cutter/Assistant for making L.F. Uniforms,
which is 30min. /uniform.
So, he can make maximum of 40 uniforms.

8. 1 20 L.F. uniforms consume: Cutter’s - 10 manhrs.;

Tailor’s –20 manhrs.
Assistants – 10 manhrs.
Manhrs. Left after completing 20 L.F.uniforms Cutter’s - 10 manhrs.; Tailor’s –20 manhrs.
Assistants – 10 manhrs. Now, here the limiting factor is time taken by Cutter/Tailor which can
work on 30 uniforms with available time.
9. 5 Total available manhrs in a day = 90;
Manhrs. consumed in 30 L.F. uniforms = 60
Idle Manhrs. = 90 – 60 = 30.
10. 2 Here limiting factor is the no. of manhrs left with Tailor, which allow him work on max. 50
uniforms, so there is no use of adding new Assistant.
