Re: MBA Preparation Material

As you have asked about the MBA preparation material for reasoning section, I am providing you with that
Question 1. ‘X + Y’ means ‘X is the father of Y’. ‘X – Y’ means ‘X is the wife of Y’. ‘X x Y’ means ‘X is the brother of Y’, ‘X ÷ Y’ means ‘X is the mother of Y’ and ‘X = Y’ means ‘X is the sister of Y’ On the basis of this information, what does ‘X + Y – Z’ mean?

Solution: We first off need to clear the clutter with the + and – and x’s!

Simply jot down on your rough sheet like this :-

+ father of
– wife of
X brother of
÷ mother of
= sister of

Now we solve,

X + Y – Z therefore is,

X is the father of Y, and Y is the wife of Z!

That means – X is the father in law of Z.


Question 2. Pointing to a lady on the stage, Ashita said, “She is the sister of the son of the wife of my husband.” How is the lady related to Ashita?

Solution: Find who you can easily relate to and be that person – then go about creating one relation after another!

In this question – be Ashita – then start from the end of the sentence – that way it will be easier.

‘My husband’ = Ashita’s husband.
‘wife of my husband’ = is Me = Ashita!
‘son of the wife of my husband’ = My son.
‘Sister of the son of the wife of my husband’ = My son’s sister = My daughter!
‘She is the sister of the son of the wife of my husband’ = the lady on the stage = the lady being pointed out = my daughter!
