Analytical Reasoning MCQ Set 19

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

If T is the son of B, then T is a brother of A. If T has one brother, M, then A is the sister of M. Thus statement I is correct. M and B cannot be brothers because B is the father of M. Thus statement II is incorrect. C is the father of B, so C is the grandfather of M. Thus statement III is correct.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The best way to approach a situation like this is to describe the relative ranks of E, A, B, F , C and D as follows:

• higher ↑:E F A C
• Lower ↓:B D

Choice A is incorrect because we cannot deduce the relationship between A and D. similarly, Choice B is incorrect because we cannot deduce the relationship between B and F. Likewise, Choices D and E are incorrect. Choice C is correct (see above)

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The best way to approach a situation like this is to describe the relative ranks of E, A, B, F , C and D as follows:

• higher ↑:E F A C
• Lower ↓:B D

Choices A, B, C and E are incorrect answers because we cannot deduce a relationship between the pairs in each choice. Choice D is correct answer because of the following: A is the immediate superior of B; E is a superior of B. thus E must be superior to A.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The best way to approach a situation like this is to describe the relative ranks of E, A, B, F , C and D as follows:

• higher ↑:E F A C
• Lower ↓:B D

If T is the immediate superior of A, then E must be superior to T

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The best way to approach a situation like this is to describe the relative ranks of E, A, B, F , C and D as follows:

• higher ↑:E F A C
• Lower ↓:B D

If C is superior to M, then, since F is superior to C, F must be superior to M

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

The best way to approach a situation like this is to describe the relative ranks of E, A, B, F , C and D as follows:

• higher ↑:E F A C
• Lower ↓:B D

If B is superior to F, then the order of ranks is E > A > B > F > C > D

Thus B is superior to D, A is superior to C, and E is superior to F.
