Then the Answer is x = - (y - |y|)
Question 9 |
Most experts feel that in spite of possessing all the technical skills required to be a batsman of the highest order, he is unlikely to be so due to lack of requisite temperament. He was guilty of throwing away his wicket several times after working hard to lay a strong foundation. His critics pointed out that until he addressed this problem, success at the highest level will continue to elude him. Which of the statements(s) below is/are logically valid and can be inferred from the above passage?
- (i) He was already a successful batsman at the highest level.
(ii) He has to improve his temperament in order to become a great batsman.
(iii) He failed to make many of his good starts count.
(iv) Improving his technical skills will guarantee success.
(iii) and (iv) | |
(ii) and (iii) | |
(i), (ii) and (iii) | |
(ii) only |
→ He is unlikely due to lack of requisite temperament ------- (ii) is True
→ He was guilty of throwing away his wicket several times ------- (iii) is True
Question 10 |
Alexander turned his attention towards India, since he had conquered Persia. Which one of the statements below is logically valid and can inferred from the above sentence?
Alexander would not have turned his attention towards India had he not conquered Persia | |
Alexander was not ready to rest on his laurels, and wanted to march to India | |
Alexander was completely in control of his army and could command it to move towards India | |
Since Alexander’s kingdom extended to Indian borders after the conquest of Persia, he was keen to move further |
Y be " he had conquered Persia"
Like that
∼X be "Alexander would not have turned his attention towards India"
then
∼Y be "he had not conquered Persis"
Answer is option A.
Question 11 |
In a room there are only two types of people, namely Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 people always tell the truth and Type 2 people always lie. You give a fair coin to a person in that room, without knowing which type he is from and tell him to toss it and hide the result from you till you ask for it. Upon asking, the person replies the following:
“The result of the toss is head if and only if I am telling the truth.”
Which of the following options is correct?
The result is head | |
The result is tail
| |
If the person is of Type 2, then the result is tail | |
If the person is of Type 1, then the result is tail |
Case 1:
The person who speaks truth. This definitely implies that result of toss is Head.
Case 2:
The person who lies. In this the reality will be the negation of the statement.
The negation of (x⇔y) is exactly one of x or y holds. "The result of the toss is head if and only if I am telling the truth". So here two possibilities are there,
→ It is head and lie spoken.
→ It is not head and truth spoken.
Clearly, the second one cannot speaks the truth. So finally it is head.
Hence, option (A).

Consider the relation X(P, Q, R, S, T, U) with the following set of functional dependencies
F = {

Which of the following is the trivial functional dependency in F+ is closure of F?
{P,R}→{S,T} | |
{P,R}→{R,T} | |
{P,S}→{S} | |
{P,S,U}→{Q} |
