Direction for [ Question No: 301 To 303 ] :

Eight students A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are planning to enjoy car racing. There are only two cars and following are the conditions :
(i). One car can accommodate maximum five and minimum four students.
(ii). A will sit in the same car in which D is sitting but H is not in the same car.
(iii). B and C can't sit in the same car in which D is sitting.
(iv). F will sit in the car of four people only alongwith A and E but certainly not with G.

301.

If H and G are sitting in the same car, who are other two students sitting in the same car ?

Answer: A

Consider two cars I and II.
A and D sit in the same car, say I.
H is not in the same car i.e. H is in car II.
B and C are not in the same car in which D is sitting i.e. B and C are in car II.
F sits along with A and E in the same car i.e. car I.
G is in the other car i.e. car II.
Thus, we have :
Car I →  A, D, E, F
Car II → B, C, G, H
B and C are sitting in the same car in which G and H are sitting.

Answer: D

Consider two cars I and II.
A and D sit in the same car, say I.
H is not in the same car i.e. H is in car II.
B and C are not in the same car in which D is sitting i.e. B and C are in car II.
F sits along with A and E in the same car i.e. car I.
G is in the other car i.e. car II.
Thus, we have :
Car I →  A, D, E, F
Car II → B, C, G, H
Clearly, G is not sitting in the car in which A and E are sitting.

Direction for [ Question No: 304 To 308 ] :

At an Electronic Data Processing Unit, five out of the eight program sets P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are  to be operated daily. On any one day, except for the first day of a month, only three of the program sets must be the ones that were operated on the previous day. The program operating must also satisfy the following conditions :
(i). If program P is to be operated on a day, V cannot be operated on that day.
(ii). If Q is to be operated on a day, T must be one of the programs to be operated after Q.
(iii). If R is to be operated on a day, V must be one of the programs to be operated after R.
(iv). The last program to be operated on any day must be either S or U.

304.

Which of the following could be the set of programs to be operated on the first day of a month ?

Answer: C

Correct answer: T, U, R, V, S

Test each option against the four rules. V, Q, R, T, S has V before R when V must come after it. U, Q, S, T, W ends with W, and the last program must be S or U. Q, S, R, V, U contains Q with no T after it. P, R, V, S, U has P and V on the same day. T, U, R, V, S breaks none of them: V follows R, the day ends with S, and neither P nor Q appears.

Answer: C

Clearly, if R is operated at the fourth place, V must be operated somewhere after it. This is not possible since the fifth program is the last one which has to be either S or U. So, R cannot be operated at the fourth Place.

If R is operated at third place in a sequence, which of the following cannot be the second program in that sequence ?

Answer: A

Correct answer: Q

With R third, V must come after it, and the day must end with S or U, so V takes the fourth place and the fifth is S or U. That fixes positions three, four and five, leaving only the first two free. Q requires T to be operated after it, and there is now no place for T at all - so Q cannot be second.

307.

If the program sets R and W are to be operated on the first day, which of the following could be the other programs on that day ?

Answer: D

Since R is operated, so V must also be operated.
Also, S or U is to be taken at the end.
So, the possible combinations are Q, S, V and T, S, V.
Now, Q must have T as one of the programs after it, which is not possible. So, Q, S, V is incorrect

If the program sets operated on a day is P, Q, W, T, U, each of the following could be the next day's progam set except :.

Answer: B

It is given that on any one day, only three of the program sets must be the ones that were operated on the previous day.
But, (b) contains four programs out of those operated on the first day. So, it is the wrong combination.

Direction for [ Question No: 309 To 310 ] :

(i). There is a family of six members A, B, C, D, E and F.
(ii). There are two married couples in the family and the family members represent three generations.
(iii). Each member has a distinct choice of a colour amongst green, yellow, balck, red, white and pink.
(iv). No lady member likes either green or white.
(v). C, who likes black colour is the daughter-in-law of E.
(vi). B is brother of F and son of D and likes pink.
(vii). A is grandmother of F and F does not like red.
(viii). The husband has a choice of green colour, his wife likes yellow.

309.

Which of the following is the colour preference of A ?

Answer: B

B and F are children of D.
A is grandmother of F. So, B and F represent third generation.
Now, C is the daughter-in-law of E. So, A and E form a couple and represent first generstion. A, being mother, is a female and so E is a male.
C is the daughter-in-law of E and so D is E's son. Thus, CD is the other couple and represents second generation.
C likes black, B likes pink. Green and yellow are the preferences of a couple. So, A likes yellow and E likes green. Now, F does not like red. So, F likes white and D likes red.
Now F likes white and so cannot be a lady. B is the son of D and hence a male.
A prefers yellow colour.

310.

How many male members are there in the family ?

Answer: C

Correct answer: Four

C is the daughter-in-law of E and B and F are children of D, so the three generations are A and E, then D and C, then B and F. A is a grandmother and C likes black, so both are women. Since no lady likes green or white, the green husband and yellow wife must be E and A, leaving red and white for D and F. F does not like red, so F takes white - and no lady likes white, so F is male. That gives E, D, B and F: four male members.
