Directions (8-10): Study the following information and answer the given questions.
There are six boxes i.e. M, N, O, P, Q and R having different weight. Each box contains different number of balls i.e. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 1 but not necessarily in the same order.
R contains more ball than M and weights more than O, which contains odd number of balls. Box N contains 4 balls. P weighs more than only O. M weighs more than Q and N, but less than R. Box Q contains 2 balls and weighs more than N. The difference between the number of balls of box M and N is 1 and Box M contains more than 3 balls.
Q8. Which Box contains highest no of balls?
N
M
R
O
P
Solution:
From the given definite conditions: P weighs more than only O (P>O). M weighs more than Q and N, but less than R. Box Q contains 2 balls and weighs more than N
Weight R>M>Q>N>P>0
Now it is given that Q contains 2 balls. Box N contains 4 balls, and difference of balls of (M- N) box equal to 1 and M contains more than 3 balls. So Box M contains 5 balls. R contains more than M so R= 6 balls.
So we can deduce the following arrangement from the above given condition
R (6)>M (5)>Q (2)>N (4)>P (1/3)>O (1/3)
Q9. Which of the following combination is correct?
M-6
O-1
N-3
O-3
Either b or d
Solution:
From the given definite condition: P weighs more than only O (P>O). M weighs more than Q and N, but less than R. Box Q contains 2 balls and weighs more than N
Weight R>M>Q>N>P>0
Now it is given that Q contains 2 balls. Box N contains 4 balls, and difference of balls of (M- N) box equal to 1 and M contains more than 3 balls. So Box M contains 5 balls. R contains more than M so R= 6 balls.
So we can deduce the following arrangement from the above given condition
R (6)>M (5)>Q (2)>N (4)>P (1/3)>O (1/3)
Q10. If weight of the box Q is 12 kg then what may be the weight of box M?
11
11.5
14
10
9
Solution:
From the given definite condition: P weighs more than only O (P>O). M weighs more than Q and N, but less than R. Box Q contains 2 balls and weighs more than N
Weight R>M>Q>N>P>0
Now it is given that Q contains 2 balls. Box N contains 4 balls, and difference of balls of (M- N) box equal to 1 and M contains more than 3 balls. So Box M contains 5 balls. R contains more than M so R= 6 balls.
So we can deduce the following arrangement from the above given condition
R (6)>M (5)>Q (2)>N (4)>P (1/3)>O (1/3)
Directions (11-15): Study the following diagram and convert it into other diagrams by implementing the instructions which is given in each step to get next step.
For Step-1:

(ii) If the alphabets are two consonant –
If the number with them is a whole square, then replace consonant with the next letter in alphabetical series.
