Question 6
The service manager Cannot make an acceptable roster that assigns:
SOLUTION
Solution : A
As per option (A)the sector III will then have two special training technicians (N cannot go to III and every sector should have atleast one experienced person) .So the conditions given of having atleast one special training technician on all three teams won’t be fulfilled as there are only 3 such technicians .
Moreover, with the above setup, R & S cannot go together.
Question 7
If T is assigned to sector III, which of the following must be true?
SOLUTION
Solution : D
We know that R and S go together and N cannot go to III. We can conclude that P goes to III and N and V is a team. The following cases are possible.
Sector NamePerson with special trainingPerson with 5 years work exIV/R(S)N/R(S)IIR(S)/VR(S)/NIIITP
Question 8
If P is assigned to sector II, which of the following must be true?
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Before solving the set we need to note that R is trained and also has the experience whereas S is not trained and does not have experience. From conditions (i) and (ii) we can conclude that R and S will always go together.
S will go to sector III, because if P goes to Sector II, only the following setup is possible
Sector NamePerson with special trainingPerson with 5 years work exINT/VIIPT/VIIIRS
Question 9
If one day’s routine is A, B, V, S and T, each of the following could be the next day’s routine, except:

A days routine must include exactly three of the exercises of the previous day. But in option (a) ,it contains four exercises from the set given in the question
Question 10
Which of the following is true for any permissible routine?
SOLUTION
Solution : C
If C is the fourth exercise then U will be the fifth as per condition (iii). But as per condition (iv) only D or T can be the fifth exercise. Hence option (c).
Question 11
If the pupil chooses C and V for the first day’s routine, which of the following could be the other three exercises chosen?
SOLUTION
Solution : D
If C is selected ,then U must be selected.So option A(a)is eliminated.Here, (b) cannot be the correct answer because if B is done then S would be compulsory as per the given conditions.Only D or T can be the fifth exercise. So atleast one among them has to be selected and hence option C is wrong. Option (d) satisfies all the conditions and hence the answer.
Question 12
If C is the third exercise in a routine, which of the following cannot be the second exercise?
SOLUTION
Solution : A
If C is third, U has to be the fourth exercise. We can have only D or T as the fifth exercice.In such as case, B cannot be the second exercise as we cannot accommodate S in any slot after B.This goes against contion (i). Hence option (a).
Question 13
