So,folks here are the correct answers Analogy Question The correct answer is A. A. Someone who is maudlin (or overly emotional) does not have dispassion (or calmness). Similarly, someone who is dauntless (or brave) does not have trepidation (or fear). |

Problem Solving The correct answer is D. Folks, this can be answered very quickly if you can conclude the following two results. Result 1: Since the number of chairs occupied by the girls in both the cases is same there is no need to consider the number of girls. Result 2: In the second case we are able to seat 2 boys per chair and no boy is left unseated, hence the number of boys must be even. Let the number of boys be 2x. Seats occupied in the first case = 2x-1 Seats occupied in the second case = x Given that 2x-1-x = 3 So x = 4 Hence the number of boys 2x = 8. Click here for the next week's Punch |
