Given Answer:

Correct Answer

Explanation:
(A), (B), (C) and (D) are false by inspecting the chart. Only E is correct.

D. Jan Sits Next To Enola

E.

None Of The Above

Given Answer:

Correct Answer

Explanation:
From statements 1,2 and 7 we can only deduce that Fred must sit between two people because the
end seats are already taken.

B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 5

F.

None Of These

Given Answer:

Correct Answer

Explanation:
none of the original statements can be deduced solely from statement 7. For instance, we can not
deduce that Fred will have people on each side of him because we do not know whether all the boys
and girls sit in the same row.

going to the movie.

All six sit in the same row, which has only six seats.

No friends of the same sex sit next to each other of them.

Tom will not sit next to Lynn.

Fred has friend on each side of him.

Lynn sits between Fred and Simon, and next to each of them.

Explanation:
Explanation: From statements 1,2,6 and 7 we can construct the following cart:
E
F L S
we now know that Tom can not sit next to Simon because Lynn already occupies that seat.

Six friends three boys (Tom, Fred and Simon) and three girls (Jan, Lynn and Enola)- are
going to the movie.

All six sit in the same row, which has only six seats.

No friends of the same sex sit next to each other of them.

Tom will not sit next to Lynn.

Fred has friend on each side of him.

Lynn sits between Fred and Simon, and next to each of them.

C. Lynn Sits Next To Tom
D. Fred Sits Next To Lynn

E.

Lynn Sits Between Enola And Simon

Given Answer:

Correct Answer

Explanation:
From the chart we can see that Lynn sits next to Fed and Simon, not next to Tom. Note that E is still
true (Lynn sits between Enola and does not necessarily sit next to them.

Three division office managers, Fred, Al, and Cynthia draw office assistant each day from the clerical
and typing pools available to them. The clerical pool consists of Lyndia, Jim, Dennis, and Sylvia. The
typing pool consists of Edra, Gene, and Helen. The office assistants are selected according to the
following conditions:
Fred always needs at least one typist, but never more than two assistants.
Al always needs at least two assistants, but never more than three.
Sylvia or Gene and one other assistant always work for Cynthia.
Gene and Lyndia always work together.
Dennis and Edra will not work together

Correct Answer

From the diagram and information above, if Gene works for Fred, then Lyndia also works for Fred, and
Sylvia must work for Cynthia. Since Dennis and Edra will not work together, one of them must work
for Cynthia; therefore Choice (A) must be false. Jim can not work for Cynthia.

If Lyndia and Jim work for Al, then Gene must also work for Al, and Sylvia must work for Cynthia. The
diagram would look like this.

Therefore, only I (Gene works for Al) must be true. Edra could work for Cynthia or Fred (eliminating
II) and Helen could work for Cynthia or Fred (eliminating III).

A.

I
B. II
C. I And II
D. I And III

E.

II And III

Given Answer:

Correct Answer

Explanation:
If Sylvia and Jim work for Al, then Gene and Lyndia must work for Cynthia. Since Dennis and Edra can
not work together, one of them must work for Fred and the other for Al. the diagram would now look
like this.

therefore, I and II must be true, but III could be true.

Question:

If Jim works for Cynthia and all of the assistants work, then
A.

Dennis Works For Al

B. Edra Works For Al
C. Helen Works For Al
D. Lyndia Works For Al

E.

Sylvia Works For Fred

Given Answer:

Correct Answer

Explanation:
From the diagram, if Jim works for Cynthia, then Sylvia must also work for Cynthia, since Gene and
lyndia must work together. Gene and Lyndia can not work for Fred, because then Dennis and Edra
(who can not work together) would work for Al. therefore, Lynidia must work for Al. The diagram
would look like this:

I. Jim works for Al
II. Sylvia does not work
III. Dennis does not work
A.

I
B. II
C. III
D. I And II

E.

I And III

Given Answer:

Correct Answer

Explanation:
If Al Needs only two assistants and Fred needs only one, and if Helen works for Fred, then the
diagram would look like this:

since Gene and Lyndia must work together, they can work for either Al or Cynthia. Since Edra (typist)
must work and Dennis and Edra can not work together, then Dennis does not work. Otherwise, Dennis
and Edra would work together. I and II could be true, but III must be true.

Question:

if all the children born of a blue eyed, brown haired male each have blue eyes and red hair,
then which of the following MUST be true?
I. They have a red haired mother
II. Their mother has green eyes
III. They are all girls
A.

I
B. II
C. III
D. I And III

E.

I,II And III

Given Answer:

Correct Answer

Explanation:
For this question your chart may look like this:

first, note that, if al the children have red hair, then all must be girls, since a boy would take both of
the fathers characteristics. Therefore, III is true. And the children would thus have to get their red
hair from their mother (I). Statement II is not necessarily true as their red haired mother could have
blue eyes.
