| 76 | 186. | 166. | 26. | C | C | For Questions 76 to 80: According to the information given in the question. There are two possibilities:
All except option C is possible |
||||||||||||
| 77 | 187. | 167. | 27. | NONE OF THE GIVEN OPTION | B | None of the options are correct. Option A and B can be true but C and D can never be true. Question is asking the definitely correct option. | ||||||||||||
| 78 | 188. | 168. | 28. | D | D | B can be true in one case. | ||||||||||||

| 84 | 194. | 174. | 34. | A | A | ‘Only if’ shows necessary but insufficient condition. Going by this understanding, the ordered pair given in answer choice A is valid. | ||||||||||||
| 85 | 195. | 175. | 35. | D | D | ‘If’ shows a sufficient but not necessary condition. Going by this understanding, answer choice de gives us a valid ordered pair. | ||||||||||||
| 86 | 196. | 176. | 36. | NONE OF THE GIVEN OPTION | D | Main statement: Either X or Y will take the only computer in the room.
Scenario 1: According to logic textbooks, the OR used in logic is an inclusive/weak OR. Therefore, the two valid ordered pairs should be the following: i. X did not take the computer implies that Y took it. ii. Y did not take the computer implies that X took it. Neither of these two options is available in the answer choices. Scenario 2: Even if we consider the OR used in the statement as exclusive/strong OR, the two valid ordered pairs should be the following: i. X took the computer implies that Y did not take it. ii. Y took the computer implies that X did not take it. Going by scenario 2, both C and D should be correct. Considering both the scenarios, we believe that we will not be able to mark any of the four options provided as a correct solution to the question. |
