Five children are sitting in a row. S is sitting next to P but not T. K is sitting next to R
who is sitting on the extreme left and T is not sitting next to K. Who are sitting adjacentto S ?
AK & P
B R & P
C Only PD P and T
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
S is sitting next to P . So the order S,P or P,S is followed. K is sitting next to R. So, theorder R, K is followed because R is on the extreme left. T is not next to P or K. So the
arrangement will be R, K,P,S,T. Clearly, P and T are sitting adjacent to S.

Directions (Q6-10):-Read the following information and answer the questions givenbelow it:
(1)Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U and V take a series of tests.
(2)No two students get similar marks.(3)V always scores more than P.
(4)P always scores more than Q.
(5)Each time either R scores the highest and t gets the least or alternatively S scores the
highest and U or Q scores the least.
If S is ranked sixth and Q is ranked fifth, which of the following can be true ?
AV is ranked first or fourth.BR is ranked second or third.
CPis ranked second or fifth.
DU is ranked third or fourth.ET is ranked fourth or fifth.
7/28/2019 Data Sufficiency Practice Test
17/23
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
V > P, P > Q i,e V > P > Q.If R scores the highest, we have R > ---------- > T.
If S scores the highest, we have S > ----------- > Qor S > ---------- > U.
If S is ranked sixth and Q is ranked fifth,we have _ > _ > _ > _ > Q > S > _ In this case,R will ran the highest and thus T will rank the least. we have R > _ > _ > _ > Q > S > T
Also, the order V > P > Q will be maintained i,e V and P will have second, third or fourth
places. So, statements (a), (b), (c), (e) cannot follow. Thus (d) is the answer.
View Answer7.
If R gets more, V should be ranked not lower than:
Asecond
BthirdCfourth
Dfifth
Esixth
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
If R ranks most, T ranks lowest and occupies seventh place. Since V always ranks above
P and Q so in the maximum, P and Q will occupy fifth and sixth places. Thus, V will notrank lower than fourth.
View Answer8.
If R is ranked second and Q is ranked fifth, which of the following Must be true?
AS is ranked third.BT is ranked sixth.
CP is ranked sixth.DV is ranked fourth.
EU is ranked sixth.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
If R is ranked second, S will rank first and Q and U lowest. But Q ranks fifth. So, U rankslowest. Also, the order V > P > Q will be followed. So, the arrangement will be S > R >
7/28/2019 Data Sufficiency Practice Test
18/23
V > P > Q > _ U. Thus , the sixth place will be occupied by T.
View Answer9.
If S is ranked second, which of the following can be true?
AU gets more than VBV gets more than S
CP gets more than R
DP gets more than VET gets more than Q
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
If S ranks second, R ranks first and T ranks lowest. The order V > P > Q will befollowed. So, the arrangement will be R > S > _ > _ > _ > _ > T. Clearly, statements (b),
(c), (d) and (e) cannot follow. so the answer is (a).
View Answer10.
If V is ranked fifth, which of the following must be true?
AS scores the highest
BR is ranked secondCT is ranked third
DQ is ranked fourthEU scores the least
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
If V ranks fifth, P and Q coming before it will occupy sixth and seventh places
respectively i,e Q ranks least.So, S will score the highest.

19/23
LOGIC, is the science of thought as expressed in language. This means that the
questions on logic are to be solved as per the information given without any concern of
the formal validity or truth of the statements i.e. conclusion should follow directly fromthe statements given.
Examples :
1. A software engineer has the capability of thinking 100 lines of code in five minutes
and can type 100 lines of code in 10 minutes. He takes a break for five minutes afterevery ten minutes. How many lines of codes will he complete typing after an hour?
a)250
b)220
c)150
d)200
Ans: a
Explanation: First, 5 five minutes he thinks, next five minutess he write code then takes
a break. So for the first 15 mins he writes 50 lines of code. Next 5 minutes he write, then
5 min. think & 5 minutes rest. Next 10 minutes write, then 5 minutes rest. Next 5 minutes
think, 5 minutes write and 5 minutes he takes rest. 25 minutes he write. In 10 min hewrites 100 lines. So in 25 min. 250 lines.
2. Nikhil gets Rs.250 from his parents every week for his expenses. He puts Rs.5 in his

the book. Assuming no other expenses, how many times did Nikhil walk this week?
a)2
b)3
c)4
d)5
Ans:c
7/28/2019 Data Sufficiency Practice Test
20/23
Explanation: 40 goes into the piggy bank leaving Rs.210 for expenses. Normal expense
on lunch is Rs.75 and on bus Rs.48, leaving Rs.87. Nikhil is short of Rs.13 for the book.
For this, if he saves bus fares, he must walk four times saving Rs.16, and then he is leftwith Rs.3 after buying the book. Hence option c.
3. Akshar, Brinda, Cathy and Dinesh are four friends who live in the same area and work
for the children in a nearby slum. One of them cooks the childrens breakfast and each ofthe other three teach a different subject from mathematics, reading & writing and
drawing. They study mechanical engineering, psychology, medicine and economics.
Neither the economics nor the psychology student cooks breakfast. Brinda does not teachreading & writing. Dinesh is the medical student, and he does not cook breakfast. Cathy
teaches drawing. Akshar studies mechanical engineering. Who teaches mathematics?
a) Akshar,
b) Brinda,
c) Cathy
d) Dinesh
Ans:b
Explanation: Since the economics, psychology and medicine students do not cook
breakfast, the mechanical engineering student does, and that is Akshar. Cathy teaches
drawing. Now, since Brinda does not teach reading and writing, she must be teaching
Maths. So option b.
4.A monkey starts climbing up a tree 20ft. tall. Each hour, it hops 3ft. and slips back 2ft.

a) 21 hours
b) 12 hours
c) 18 hours
d) 15 hours
Ans:c
Explanation: Every hour, he gains 3 ft and loses 2 ft, for a total gain of 1 ft. So after the17th hour, he's at 17 ft high. in the 18th hour, he climbs up 3 feet. Since 17 ft + 3 ft = 20
ft, he's at the top of the tree. So option c.
