    plz exp how to do these ???

    1. Suraj

      YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS:
      take for example option A) [IV, VI, V]
      does the third i.e V : follows from 1st two i.e IV and VI
      means does statement V: No blue is white.
      follow from IV. Some green are blue.
      and
      VI. All red are green.

      similarly check all.. the option in which the third follows from 1st two… that is the answer

    2. ǟʍɮɨӄǟ

      u have to check each option from the given five and tell which one is correct means………………… u have given 3 statements in each option so first 2 statements are the premises and third statement is conclusion so u have to figure out which combination of options is true so that conclusion follows from the statements correctly

      take this option C) [II, III, I]
      II Means 2nd statement which is II. Some white is black. and III is All black is orange. u have to check that from both statements whether I statement which is Some orange is white. follows or not

    tough puzzle

    I. Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions
    There are Seven Lecturers – A, B, C, D, E, F and G taught seven subjects,viz., Maths, Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Physics, English and Statistics on one day in a week starting from Monday and ending on Sunday (of the same week). There will be separate timings for each lecture.

    Note: Total hours taken by all the lecturers = 18 hours. The minimum and maximum timing of any lecture will be one hour and five hour respectively. There are two pairs of timings that can be followed by four lecturers.
     Chemistry is taught on Thursday. English is neither taught on Tuesday nor on Saturday. The Botany professor gave lecture immediately after the lecturer A. B is not a Chemistry Professor.
     Maths is taught for one hour. The Professor B gave his lecture on one of the days before Friday. Either the professor E or the professor F not gave his lecture on Sunday. Professor F gave his lecture immediately after E. Lecturer A spent more time than Lecturer C.
     Time taken by lecturer C is the sum of time taken by the lecturers B and F. Subjects Maths & Zoology are taught for same duration. The lecturer who took maximum time is immediately preceded by the person who took less than one hour of maximum time.
     The difference between the subjects taught on Friday and Sunday is equalled to the time taken by the lecturer A. Professor who gave maths lecture immediately preceded and followed by C and G respectively.
     Professor who gave lecture on Sunday spent less than three hours. Only one lecture is held between Chemistry and Botany. Zoology is taught after two days of maths lecture. Statistics is neither taught on Monday nor Sunday.
     Botany is not taught on the immediate next day on which Zoology is taught. Physics is taught on Monday.

    Conclusions: All white being green is a possibility. Some grey are not blue.

    C) All blue are white. No white is grey. Some grey is green.

    no grey is white reversed
    some white is blue
    no+some ==some not reversed so mtlb
    some blue are not grey to follow kesse hua ??

    1. Suraj

      TO check: All white being green is a possibility.
      No white is grey. Some grey is green.=> No+All= SOme not reversed =? Some GREEN is NOT White
      On day 5 table : if SOme A is Not B=> All B being A is a possibility.
      So All white being green is a possibility

      To check: Some grey are not blue.

      All blue are white. No white is grey. => ALL+ NO= NO=> No blue us grey or NO Grey is blue

      AS per table on day 5: NO A is B => Some A are not B => Some B are not A => both these are true
      So Some grey are not blue is also true

You realize thus significantly when it comes to this matter, made me in my opinion imagine it from so many numerous angles. Its like men and women are not fascinated unless it?s something to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs excellent. Always take care of it up!
