1. Question : How many children are there in the row of children facing North ?
Statements :
I. Vishakha who is fifth from the left end is eighth to the left of Ashish who is twelfth from the right end.
II. Rohit is fifth to the left of Nisha who is seventh from the right end and eighteenth from the left end.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation: Since 8th to the left of 12th from the right is 20th from the right, so from I, we know that Vishakha is 5th from left and 20th from right i.e. there are 4 children to the left and 19 to the right of Vishakha. So, there are (4 + 1 + 19) i.e. 24 children in the row.
From II, Nisha is 7th from right and 18th from left end of the row.
So, there are (6 + 1 + 17) = 24 children in the row.
2. Question : How many doctors are practising in this town ?
Statements :
I. There is one doctor per seven hundred residents.
II. There are 16 wards with each ward having as many doctors as the number of wards.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation: From I, total number of doctors in town = (1/700 x N) , where N = total number of residents in town. But, the value of N is not known.
From II, total number of doctors in town
= (Number of wards in town) x (Number of doctors in each ward)
= 16 x 16 = 256.
3. Question : On which day of the week was birthday of Sahil ?
Statements :
I. Sahil celebrated his birthday the very next day on which Arun celebrated his birthday.
II. The sister of Sahil was born on the third day of the week and two days after Sahil was born.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation: I does not mention the day of the week on the birthday of either Arun or Sahil.

4. Question : How many pages of book X did Robert read on Sunday ?
Statements :
I. The book has 300 pages out of which two-thirds were read by him before Sunday.
II. Robert read the last 40 pages of the book on the morning of Monday.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Both I and II are sufficient
Explanation: From I and II, we find that Robert read (300 x 2/3) i.e. 200 pages before Sunday and the last 40 pages on Monday.
This means that he read [300 - (200 + 40)] i.e. 60 pages on Sunday.

8. Question : Among A, B, C, D and E, who is in the middle while standing in a row ?
Statements :
I. C, who is third to the left of D, is to the immediate right of A and second to the left of E.
II. C is second to the left of E, who is not at any of the ends and who is third to the right of A. D is at one of the ends.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation: From each one of I and II, we get the order : A, C, B, E, D. Clearly, B is in the middle.

I. A and D are heavier than B, E and F but none of them is the heaviest.
II. A is heavier than D but lighter than C.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation: From I, we conclude that since none of A and D is the heaviest and each one of B, E and F is lighter than both A and D, so C is the heaviest.
10. Question : How is 'No' coded in the code language ?
Statements :
I. 'Ne Pa Sic Lo' means 'But No None And' and 'Pa Lo Le Ne' means 'If None And But'.
II. 'Le Se Ne Sic' means 'If No None Will' and 'Le Pi Se Be' means 'Not None If All'.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation: In the two statements given in I, the common words are 'But', 'None', 'And' and the common code words are 'Ne', 'Pa', ,'Lo'. So, 'Ne', 'Pa' and 'Lo' are codes for 'But', 'None' and 'And'. Thus, in the first statement, 'Sic' is the code for 'No'.
