A goldsmith has five gold rings each having a different weights. They are labelled as D,E,F,G and H. Their peculiarities are given in the following statements : Statement 1: Ring D weighs twice as much as ring E. Statement 2: Ring E weighs four and a half times as much as ring F. Statement 3: Ring F weighs half as much as ring G. Statement 4: Ring G weighs half as much as ring H. Statement 5: Ring H weighs less than ring D but more than ring F.
Q. No. 1:
If these rings are sold according to their weights, which ring will fetch the highest value in rupees ?
Answer: A On the basis of the information provided, we get the following relationships amongst the weights of the various rings. D = 2E, E = 4.5 F, F = G/2, G = H/2 In terms of D E = D/2, F = D/9, G = 2D/9, H = 4D/9 Thus, weights in the decreasing order are as follow : D > E > H > G > F Hence, ring D is the heaviest, it will fetch the highest value.
Q. No. 2:
Ring H is heavier to which of the following two rings ?
Answer: B On the basis of the information provided, we get the following relationships amongst the weights of the various rings.
D = 2E, E = 4.5 F, F = G/2, G = H/2
In terms of D
E = D/2, F = D/9, G = 2D/9, H = 4D/9
Thus, weights in the decreasing order are as follow :
D > E > H > G > F
Q. No. 3:
Which of the following is the lightest in weight ?
Answer: C On the basis of the information provided, we get the following relationships amongst the weights of the various rings.
D = 2E, E = 4.5 F, F = G/2, G = H/2
In terms of D
E = D/2, F = D/9, G = 2D/9, H = 4D/9
Thus, weights in the decreasing order are as follow :
D > E > H > G > F
Q. No. 4:
Which of the following represents the descending order of the weights of the rings ?
Answer: A On the basis of the information provided, we get the following relationships amongst the weights of the various rings.
D = 2E, E = 4.5 F, F = G/2, G = H/2
In terms of D
E = D/2, F = D/9, G = 2D/9, H = 4D/9
Thus, weights in the decreasing order are as follow :
D > E > H > G > F
Study the following paragraph and then answer the questions that follow :
Five golfers C,D,E,F and G plays a series of matches in which the following are always true of the results. Either C is the last and G is the 1st or C is the 1st and G is the last. D finishes ahead of E. Every golfer plays in and finishes every match. There are no ties in any match, i.e no two players ever finish in the same position in a match.
