As per given condition,
Arranging according to age,
Kamini is younger than Rupa.
1. K < R
Pooja is younger than Monika.
2. P < M
Rupa and Monika are of the same age.
3. R = M
Neelam is elder to Rupa.
4. N > R
From 1 and 2,
5. R = M >K or P
from 5 and 4,
6. N > R = M >K or P
Persons are arranged by Age
Neelm > Rupa = Monika > Pooja > Kamini
or Neelam > Rupa = Monika > Kamini > Pooja
Only Statement I is superfluous.Correct Option: D

Kamini is younger than Rupa.
1. K < R
Pooja is younger than Monika.
2. P < M

4. N > R
From 1 and 2,
5. R = M >K or P
from 5 and 4,
6. N > R = M >K or P
Persons are arranged by Age
Neelm > Rupa = Monika > Pooja > Kamini
or Neelam > Rupa = Monika > Kamini > Pooja
Fourth position cannot be determined, if they are arranged in descending order of their ages.
Direction: Read the following information and answer the question that follow.
In a study of five brands of pain relieving tablets P, Q, R, S and T, the brands were tested and ranked against each other as more or less effective per dose. The following results were obtained.
I. P was more effective than Q.
II. The effectiveness of R was less than that of S.
III. T was the least effective brand tested.
IV. Q and R were equally effective.
V. The effectiveness of S was greater than that of Q.
- If a sixth brand M is tested and found to be more effective than S, then which of the following must be true, if the findings of the study are correct?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
According to the question,
P > Q. S > R
T is least effective Q = R, S > Q
∴ S/P > Q = R > T
It is clear from the ranking order so obtained that brand S may be less effective than P, equal to P or more effective than P. It means that position of S is not fixed. Now as per question, sixth band i.e, M is more effective than S which implies that whatever be the position of S, there will be atleast four brands which will be less effective than M.Correct Option: B
According to the question,
