6. D
Sol. From the given codes, we can find that:

Clearly, neither statement I nor statement II sufficient.

7. B
Sol. From statement I:

1. D is placed just above C. Two boxes are placed between C and B.

2. One box is placed between E and A. A is placed above D but not above B.

In this, F’s position is not fixes, so F will be placed either on top or on bottom. So, data is missing.

From statement II:

 www.gradeup.co

1. One box is placed between A and E. Three boxes are placed between E and C.

2. F is placed just below C and F is not placed above A.

So, F is placed at bottom.

Hence, option B is correct.

Sol. The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

1. At least a few mats may not be cow à It’s possible as some mats are cow and some mats may not be cow.

2. Only a few whales are not bull à It means some whales are bull and some whales are not bull. Clearly, it’s not true.

So, only 1 follows.

12. A
Sol. The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

1. All silver being botox is a possibility à It’s possible as there is no relation between silver and botox.

2. Only a few silver can be helium à It means some silver being helium and some silver not being helium is possible.
Clearly, it’s not possible as no silver is helium.

So, only 1 follows.

13. D
Sol. The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:
 www.gradeup.co

Conclusions:

1. A few lights being pink is a possibility à It’s possible as there is no relation between light and pink.

2. There is a possibility that a few white are not pink à It’s possible as there is no relation between white and pink.

So, both follow.

14. A
Sol. Given statements: S > U ≥ W, E < K ≤ Q, Q = R < S

On combining: E < K ≤ Q = R < S > U ≥ W

Conclusions:

I. E < S → True (as E < K ≤ Q = R < S → E < S)

II. U < Q → False (as Q = R < S > U → hence, clear relation between U and Q cannot be determineD.

Hence, only conclusion I follows.

15. D
Sol. Given statements: J < H = F, B ≥ D > F, J > L ≥ N

On combining: B ≥ D > F = H > J > L ≥ N

Conclusions:

I. D > N → True (as D > F = H > J > L ≥ N → D > N)

II. J < B → True (as B ≥ D > F = H > J → B > J)

 www.gradeup.co

Hence, both conclusions I and II follow.

16. D
Sol. Given statements: P = Z ≥ W > Y, S ≤ T < P, Y = V

On combining: S ≤ T < P = Z ≥ W > Y = V

Conclusions:

I. S ≤ Z → False (as S ≤ T < P = Z → S < Z)

II. P = V → False (as P = Z ≥ W > Y = V → P > V)

Hence, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.

17. D
Sol.

Hence, A is the daughter of O.

18. D
Sol.
