Re: Logic Quiz

Southie ... You might be actually arriving at a third combination for B=4 ... In which case all of B=4 must be ruled out.

If B=4 and A=8, 12, or 20 and these are all passing the AB<100 and A/B=prime which they are then because there are more than 2 possible combos for B=4 we must eliminate that too.

you've made my problem better than I thought.

now the only B value that renders exactly 2 possible values of A is B=5 and only one of these gives a CX result higher than 100.

So the only correct answer is A=15, B=5

Re: Logic Quiz

This should have been the set of possible solutions:

apologies (i worked it out properly before ... Anyway I hope it is correct now)

A, B, A/B, AB

4, 2, 2, 8
6, 2, 3, 12
10, 2, 5, 20
14, 2, 7, 28
22, 2, 11, 44
34, 2, 17, 68
38, 2, 19, 76
46, 2, 23, 92

6, 3, 2, 18
9, 3, 3, 27
15, 3, 5, 45
21, 3, 7, 63
33, 3, 11, 99

8, 4, 2, 32
12, 4, 3, 48
20, 4, 5, 80

10, 5, 2, 50
15, 5, 3, 75

12, 6, 2, 72

14, 7, 2, 98

out of the two B=5 combos 10,5 gives a CX value = 100 and 15,5 gives a CX value = 225

So A=15 and B=5

Next problem? Anyone?

Re: Logic Quiz

Three people have asked a delivery boy to buy them an item each which are all different, and each item has a different key attribute to another item and they were all different colours too.

as the boy was cycling down he crashed and his notes became messed up.

He knew he had to get three items for three people, but he was unsure how each item was supposed to be ... which key attribute and which colour and who to give them to ... His time was running out and he could not go back to check.

Just then a Jinn came to him and offered him some pieces of information and disappeared again. Assuming the Jinn lied completely as the boy assumed as well can you solve the boy's problem as he managed to solve the problem when the following things the Jinn said are as below?

1) You wanna buy a Big Gold Watch
2) Luke does not want a shiny thing but a Flowery Hammer
3) Lana does not need a hammer but she gets the Green Apple
4) Lidya wanted a Shiny Orange thing
5) The Green thing is Shiny

Whstvis value of B tgatcgives exactl 2 solutions for a

Answer b is 4.
A 12 20
Other values DO NOT satisfyvthe criteria u have given.

Re: Logic Quiz

why all the logic quizzes revolved around liars! ... :| ... Pakistan politicians would become excellent logicians ...

167

Re: Logic Quiz

A equals 8 dies not pass criterion of cx greater than 100. Cd is abx or aba/b or A squared or 64.

I explained this in my solution.A equals 12 and 20 are ONLY TWO SOLNS FOR A EITH B EQUALS 4

168

Re: Logic Quiz

you only apply cx > 100 after looking for the B value that gives two As, not the other way round.

169

Re: Logic Quiz

I knew you were going to like this liar question ... I could have done it without the lies but it made more interesting.

170

Re: Logic Quiz

this is correct if you do the CX > 100 calc before finding the the b value that gives two As ... The original question was that there is only one answer for A and B ... But i agree the question could have been communicated better.

171

Re: Logic Quiz

No. The problem statement is what is the value of B that gives exactly 2 solutions for A while meeting the criteria outlined.

At least that is how I read the problem.

For b equals 4 there are ONLY 2 values of A that meet the various criteria such as

A/B is prime
AB which is C is less than 100
CX which is ABA/B or A^2 is > 100.

A person can only solve the problem as stated.

Re: Logic Quiz

Anyway puzzle on post #164](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=164) … That is easier.

173

Re: Logic Quiz

No. The question was what is the value of B that gives exactly two sons for A that meet the criteria listed.

174

Re: Logic Quiz

Southie I originally meant that the CX > 100 should be computed on the two combos, since one is lower than 100 and the other is higher … When B =5 … I understand what you have done and it is correct, although I didn’t intend it to be done that way. If you read the post each line is supposed to be a consecutive step. But reading through it I realise I could have phrased it better, apologies.

Are you really arguing with me that you know how I meant my own problem and I don’t? :hehe:

Re: Logic Quiz

I am getting thrown off with the sentences ... think think .. .

Re: Logic Quiz

Was it a jinn or Mubashir Luqman? :phati:

Anywaz, here are my answers:

As per the quiz, i’m assuming that jinn lied.

Three things and three persons:

Luke needs shiny orange thing
Lana needs hammer
Lidya gets green apple

Yes/no?

177

Re: Logic Quiz

to me thats look right.

178

Re: Logic Quiz

very big no … :frowning:

Jinn is a complete liar …

there are three things so you can’t put e word “thing” in your answer. Each thing has a key description AND a colour … You must have three people, with three things, each with colour and key description in your answer.

179

Re: Logic Quiz

Clue no. 1

From the first Jinn statement. We can work out because it is a complete lie.

a) The Big thing is not Gold
b) The Big thing is not the Watch
c) The Gold Thing is not the Watch

now you guys do this type of analysis with the rest of the Jinn statements.
