Answers with Solution

1)( c) is the right answer.

Only two combinations are possible
Younger  Older
 2              4
3               9

Cubes of natural number are 1, 8, 27, 64 ….. Here, 64 and above is not possible as the age will go above 10. only (b ) and (c ) satisfies the case of mother and father.

2) (a) is the correct answer

→ Total seats in the hall = 200
→ Seats vacant =20
→ Total waiting =180
→ Ladies = 72
→ Seating capacity of flight = 2/3 *180 =120
→ Number of people in Flight A = 100 for Flight B = 180 – 100 = 80
→ Thus ,number of air hostess for A= 4
→ Empty seats in the flight B = 120-80 = 40
→ 40 : 4 = 10:1

3) (D) is the correct answer

→ Option (c ) is ruled out by statement (vii)
→ Option (a)is ruled by statement (vii) and (viii)
→ From statement (iv) , S had Rs. 30 to start and D Rs. 20
→ From statement (ii), option B is not possible as S was left with Rs. 1 , he spent Rs. 29 but according to the (b) he spent Rs. 1.50 more than D.But D had only Rs. 20 Hence option (D) is correct.

4) (c) is the correct answer 

Statements (v) and (vi) rule out the option (a) and (b). The contestants from Bangalore and Pune did not come first so, school from Hyderabad can come first. Convent is not in Hyderabad which rules out option (d)
