While Balbir had his back turned, a dog ran into his butcher shop, snatched a piece of meat off the counter and ran off. Balbir was mad when he realised what had happened. He asked three other shopkeepers, who had seen the dog, to describe it. The shopkeepers really didn’t want to help Balbir. So each of them made a statement which contained one truth and one lie.
Make truth tables as follows: Case I: The dog has black hair. a) Black hair— short tail
b) Short tail— not wearing collar
c) Black hair— not wearing collar
Case II: The dog has white hair.
a) White hair— long tail
b) Long tail— wore a collar
c) White hair— wore a collar
Now check the choices. Only (b) is correct as per the above.

Four friends are out shopping. A has less money than three times the amount that B has. C has more money than B. D has an amount equal to the difference of amounts with B and C. A has three times the money than D. They each have to buy a least one shirt, or one shawl, or one sweater, or one jacket, that are priced Rs.200, Rs. 400, Rs.600 and Rs.1000 apiece, respectively. C borrows Rs.300 from A and buys a jacket. B buys a sweater after borrowing Rs.100 from A and is left with no money. A buys three shirts.
A < 3B, C > B, D = C - B and A = 3 D.
B must have 500, since he has to borrow 100 from A to buy 3 shirts for Rs 600
C must have at least 700 (> 600). 700 is not correct as this leaves D with 200 and A with 600.
Since A lends 300 to C and 100 to B and still buys 3 shirts for Rs 600, A must have at least 1000 since A = 3D, we get
A = 1200, D = 400, hence D can buy one shawl.
Directions:For questions, Read the following information and answer the questions given below.
In a family gathering there are two males who are grandfathers and four males who are fathers. In the same gathering there are two females who are grandmothers and four females who are mothers. There is at least one grandson or a granddaughter present in this gathering. There are two husband wife pairs in this group. These can either be a grandfather and a grandmother, or a father and a mother. The single grandfather (whose wife is not present) has two grandsons and a son present. The single grandmother (whose husband is not present) has two grand daughters and a daughter present. A grandfather or a grandmother present with their spouses does not have any grandson or granddaughter present.
Count number of males and females
Males = 4 + 1 + 1 (4 fathers, 2 grandfathers are included in 2 fathers, 1 grandson, Husband/wife pairs are included, one more grandson)
Females = 4 + 1 + 1 (follow similar logic as for males)
There are 6 males and 6 females. Hence the minimum number of people present can be 6 + 6 = 12.
