Q. 15.
A Departmental Store Conclusions(i) He is a player
used following codes to mark its
prices secretly
Old Code
H U N T E R W A L I the given statements will be as
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 follows
It had to change the code due to
some unavoidable circumstances.
New Code
R E P U B L I C A N
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
(a) If the price of an article was
coded (old) as HINT, what would it
be in the new code ?
(b) The price of an article in the
new code in PEN. What was it in the
old code ?
(c) The price of an item was
HAT. The store wanted to increase
the price by Rs. 6. What will be the
increased price in the new code ?
(d) The store clerk reads a tag as
UNE which was overlooked while
coding afresh. He charged as per the
new code. How much more or less
did he charge ?
Ans. (a) RNPU
(b) NUI
(c) Price of the item = HAT = 184
The increased price of the item
= 184 + 6 = 190
Price of the item in new code
= RAN.
(d) From problem,
Marked price on the tag = UNE
Its price as per old code = 235
and Price of the bag as per new code
= 402.
Obviously 402 > 235 and hence
the store clerk charged 402 235 =
167 more.
Q. 16. Take the given statements
as true and decide which of the
given conclusions can be drawn
logically from the two given state-
ments
(a) StatementsAll beads are
pens. No pens are clouds.
Conclusions(i) No beads are
clouds.
(ii) All pens are beads.
(b) StatementsIn a game club
all the members are not active
players of the game but all of them
are rich. Mr. X is a member.

walking 1 km meets Rohit coming
of the game. from opposite direction. Both stop
(ii) He is rich. here.
Ans. (a) The pictorial diagram of (a) From which direction was
Rohit coming ?
(b) How far is Rahul from his
starting point ?
Ans.
Hence only conclusion (I) true.
Second method
StatementsAll beads are pens.
(A)
No pens are clouds. (E)
We get Z type figure and the 1st
Statement is universal affirmative
(A), where as the 2nd statement is
universal negative (E).
In this figure the conclusion will
be universal negative (E-type) as A + From the above pictorial dia-
EAE gram, it is clear that
No clouds are beads (E) from the (a) Rahul was coming from
conversion of statement principal, the NORTH direction.
conversion of E-type statement will (b) The distance of Rahul from its
also E-type. initial position
No beads are clouds. = IN = IM + MN = (MJ IJ) + MN
(b) From the given statements, it = (LK IJ) + MN
is clear that Mr. X is rich but he may = (5 3) + 1 = 3 km
be an active player or may not be. Q. 19. What is the number of
Hence conclusion (II) definitely true triangles in the following figures ?
where as (I) may or may not be true.
Q. 17. A father is three times as
old as his son. Eight years ago, the
father was five times as old as his (a)
son then was.
(a) What is the present age of
the father ?
(b) What is the present age of
the son ?
(b)
Ans. From the given problem,
F = 3S (i)
and (F 8) = 5(S 8) (ii)
Ans. (a) The total number of
Putting the value of F from (i)
triangles available in the given figure
into reln. (ii),
= 25, which are as follows
we get, S = 16 and F = 48
(a) Present age of the father = 48
years
(b) Present age of the son = 16
years
Q. 18. Rahul walks 3 km towards
South and turns to his right and
walks 4 km. He then turns to his
right and walks 5 km and turns
again to his right and walks another
4 km. He then turns left and after Continued on Page 291
