REACTION TRACKER TABLE

Opening 4 families, one with no kid and others with at least one kid each.

Paragraph

Statement (Family with 2 kids-Family with no kids)

(i) At this point, we just make a visual representation of this clue.

Further, it is also now known to us that we are trying to create a structure of the order in which the respective families come in. Mentally, we picture this as:

Statement D just before C. Not usable at this point. Also D has no kids.

(ii)

Statement Usable at this point

(ii)

Statement Q is not the husband of B (means B is female). Again this clue is not directly usable.

(iv)

Statement Q and S are fathers. Hence males. Not usable at this point.

(V)

Statement A & C have daughters. Not usable at this point.

(vi)

Statement A-B-D. Add the reaction of C coming after D (Statement ii) and we get the entire structure for the

(vii) 4 women’s arrival The table now becomes.

³------------------------------------ 1----------------- 1---------------------------------------------------- 1-------------- 1

Add Statement (i)^,s reaction and the table further evolves to:

Now concentrate on the husbands (Q, R & S)

Statement No information

(viii)

Statement S must have 2 kids. Since his son has not come and it is known that every family which has kids has at

(ix) least 1 kid coming to the picnic. Thus the table now evolves to the following:

Note: Since Q is a father he cannot be D’s husband and only R is D’s only possible husband.

Hence the answers are:

30. (d)

Dz- (b)

32. (ñ)

33. (b)

34. (d)

SET 10 Questions 35 to 38: This question looks extremely complicated due to the multiple statements, but the main issue required to be resolved while solving this question is the structure of the diagram. While solving this question concentrate mainly on who is present in the bar at different times of the day and correlate this information to the statements. Also try to number the events so as to give order to the various going-ins and coming-outs of the people. The following reaction tracker table gives the step by step reactions to the clues in the question.
