TEST 3
TIME: 30 MINUTES
In this test different statements or paragraphs are
given. One or more questions related to each paragraph is given
immediately following the statements. You should read the statements
carefully and answer the question/s given below.
Example:-
The letters S,T,U,V,W,X,Y AND Z represent eight
consecutive whole numbers, not necessarily in that order.
W is 4 more than Z and 3 less than X.
S is more than T and less than X
U is the average of V and X
Question 1.
If the lowest number of the series is 8, what is the
value of W?
(a) 10 (b) 11
(c) 12 (c) 13
(e) 14
Answer is (c). because Z is the lowest number in the
series and W is 4 greater and thus equal to 8+4=12.
Question 2.
Which of the following is/are true?
W is not the greatest number in the series.
Z is not the greatest number in the series
X is not the greatest number in the series
(a) 1 only (b) 2 only
(c) 1 and 2 only (d) 1 and 3 only
(e) 1,2 and 3
Answer is (c). W cannot be the greatest number
because it is less than X. As for 2, Z cannot be the greatest number
because it is less than W. Thus 1 and 2 are true. 3 is false because X,
being 7 greater than Z in a series of 8 consecutive number, must be the
greatest number.

In this test different statements or paragraphs are give, One or more
questions relating to each paragraph is given immediately following the
statements. You are to read the statements carefully analyze the facts
given and then answer the question/s given below:
The letter S, T, U. V, W, X, Y and Z represent eight consecutive whole
numbers, not necessarily in that order.
W is 4 more than Z and 3 less than X
S is more than T and less than X
U is the average of V and X
Question 1.
If the lowest number of the series is 8, what is the value of W?
(a) 10 (b) 11 (c) 12
(d) 13 (e) 14
On analyzing the statements we find that Z is the lowest number in the
series. W is 4 greater than Z so the value of W must be 12. Thus the
correct answer is (c).
Question 2.
Which of the following is/are true?
(1) W is not the largest number in the series.
(2) Z is not the largest number in the series.
(3) X is not the largest number in the series.
(a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) 1 and 2
only (d) 1 and 3 only (e) 1,2 and 3
Answer is (c). W is smaller than X so 1 is true. W is greater than Z so
2 is true. X is seven larger than Z so in a series of 8 consecutive
whole numbers, X must be the largest. Thus 3 is false.

__________________________________________________________________
This test consists of two parts
each having 15 questions. In each of the Questions, 1-15, the problem
states two quantities, one in column A and one in column B, with
possibly some additional information. You are to compare the two
quantities and choose your answer as follows:
If the quantity in column A is greater.
If the quantity in column B us greater.
If the two quantities are equal.
If the relationship cannot be determined the information given
Example 1
Column A
Column B
2/7
12/49
Example 2
Given that x>0.
x2
1
If x>1 then x2>1 otherwise x2<1. Hence the information
provided is not sufficient to
solve the problem and therefore, the correct answer is (d).
________________________________________________________________________
Questions 16-30 relate to simple arithmetic and logical reasoning After
each question,
there are five answers but only one of them is the correct answer. You
are to solve each
question and indicate which answer you think is correct.
Example:
The ice compartment of a refrigerator is 10 inches wide, 5 inches high
and 4 inches deep.
If an cube is 2 inches on each side, how many whole cubes will fit into
the compartment?
(a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30
(d) 16 (e) 32
5 cubes will fit in the width, only 2 in the height and 2 in the depth.
Thus the total number of cubes is 5x2x2=20.
