Q-5) There are four persons A, B, C and D. The total amount of money with A and B together is equal to the total amount of money with C and D together. But the total amount of money with B and D together is more than the amount of money with A and C together. The amount of money with A is more than that with B. Who has the least amount of money?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Let A, B, C and D denote the amounts with these individuals respectively.
Then, A + B = C + D, B + D > A + C, A > B.
Now, B + D > A + C and A > B = B + D > A + C > B + C (∫ A > B) = B + D > B + C = D > C.
Also, A + B = c + D, A > B and D > C = 2B < A + B = C + D < 2C = 2B < 2C = C > B. Now, A > B, C > B, D > C = A > B, D > C > B.
Thus, each one of A, D and C has more amount than B.
Hence, B has the least amount.

Q-8) Garima is taller than Sarita but not taller than Reena. Reena and Tanya are of the same height. Garima is shorter than Anu. Amongst all the girls, who is/are the shortest?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Let the first letter of the name of each girl represent her height.
Then, Garima is taller than Sarita = G > S.
Garima is not taller than Reeta = R > G.
Reena and Tanya are of the same height = R = T.
Garima is shorter than Anu = A > G.
All the above indicate that Garima is either shorter than or equal in height to each of the girls except Sarita, while Sarita is shorter than Garima.
Thus, Sarita is the shortest.
