Directions (Q. 6-10): Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:
There are eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H sitting arround the circle facing outward from the centre. G is third to the right of A and is not the neighbour of F or H. D and C are immediate neighbours of G. F is second to the right of B and second to the left of G. D is not the neighbour of E or F. E is the immediate neighbour of B and H.
6. Who among the following are immediate neighbours of F?
1) B, C 2) E, C 3) C, A 4) H, A 5) None of these
7. Who among the following is sitting third to the right of E?
1) F 2) G 3) D 4) A 5) None of these
8. Which of the following statements is false?
1) D is exactly between H and C.
2) E is opposite F.
3) C is second to the left of A.
4) All are false
5) None of these
9. Who among the following is third to the left of A?
1) E 2) H 3) D 4) G 5) None of these
10. Who among the following is opposite D?
1) A 2) E 3) B 4) H 5) None of these
Answer :-
1 (1). Some cloths are shirts, conversion, Some shirts are cloths. Hence conclusion II does not follow. T here is no negative statement. Thus the possibility in I exists. Hence conclusion I follows.
2. (4) Some hours a re minutes (I) + Some minutes are not seconds (O) = I + O = No conclusion. Hence, neither conclusion I nor II follows.
3. (5) No pin is a staple, conversion, No staple is a pin. Hence, conclusion I follows as an implication.
Again, Some pens are staples (I) + No staple is a pin (E) = I + E = O = Some pens are not pins. Hence, conclusion II follows.
4. (2) All letters a re numbers (A) + Some numbers are not squares (O) = A + O = No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Again, All letters are numbers, conversion, Some numbers are letters. Hence, conclusion II follows.
5. (5) All hankies are towels (A) + No towel is cloth (E) = A + E = E = No hanky is cloth. Hence conclusion I follows. Again, All hankies are towels, conversion, Some towels are hankies. H ence conclusion II follows.
