MOST IMPORTANT verbal reasoning - 2 EXERCISES
The following question based on Arithmetical Reasoning topic of verbal reasoning
(a) 45
(b) 18
(c) 36
(d) None of these
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (d)
Let R, G and B represent the number of balls in red, green and blue boxes respectively.
Then, R + G + B = 108 ...(i),
G + R = 2B ...(ii)
B = 2R ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2 × 2R = 4R or G = 3R. Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get:
R + 3R + 2R = 108 6R = 108 R = 18.
Therefore number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 × 18) = 54.

a) 72 birds
b) 30 birds
c) 60 birds
d) 90 birds
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the total number of shots be x. then,
Shots fired by A = $5/8$ x ; Shots fired by B = $3/8$ x
Killing shots by A = $1/3$ of $5/8 x = {5x}/{24}$ ;
Shots missed by B = $1/2$ of $3/8 x = {3x}/{16}$ .
∴ ${3x}/{16}$ = 27 or x = $({27 × 16}/3)$ = 144
Birds killed by A = ${5x}/{24} = (5/{24} × 144)$ = 30

6 | 4 | 9 | ||||||
L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T |
difference between P & T is 5 i.e., T = 5 + 4 = 9
difference between N & T is 3 i.e., N = 9 – 3 = 6
So, integer assigned to N = 6
