Answer for Qus.No:6:

Hello...Puy's...
Today's Question.No:7 - CAT family

On a beautiful spring day in the park, there were five female cats walking together and gossiping about their humans. Up ahead, there were five males walking together bragging about their conquests. When the two groups met, there were five cupids flying through the air. Next thing ya know, there were five couples walking away in separate directions. The couples began talking and soon found that they had amazing things in common. Well, long story short, we all know what happens to cats that fall in love in the springtime, oh my what a racket! .


Male: Punkin, Batman, Billy, Jake, Dibii
Female: Pepper, Sally, Ruby, Spot, Starbuck
Snack: Chicken, Mice, Tuna, Ice Cream, Chips
Activity: Laser, String, Sleep, Beat Up, Ball
# in Litter: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

1. The five males were: Jake, the one that liked tuna fish & had five kittens, the one that liked Spot, the one that liked to beat up other cats, and the one that loved ice cream.

2. The five females were: Starbuck, the one that had nine kittens, the one that liked to eat chicken & chase a ball, the one that liked to sleep, and the one that liked Punkin.

3. Dibii ( who had three kittens) liked to chase the laser light but not mice. On the other hand, Sally loved to chase mice but not string.

4. Batman didn't have a thing for Sally and he didn't have seven kittens. Billy, who thought of himself as very big & tough, had the most kittens & wasn't about to chase some stupid string around - what a waste of time!

5. Ruby loved to cuddle up to her male for a long afternoon nap in the sun but hated it when he ate his chips in bed. That may be the reason they didn't have the most kittens (they didn't have the least either).

6. Pepper & Punkin didn't have one kitten but they did like tuna fish

Can you figure out who the couples were, what treats they liked, what their favorite activity was and how many kittens each had in their litter?

Well..buddy these kind of problems needs little trick & trial / error concept,
Though we will have 1 or 2 conditions fixed remaining things always have different possibilities..
So, the only way is clearly get those clinchers from the given details and build your other possible answers around it...

For example in this Olympic swimming championship,

Five swimmers (Adam, Brad, Carl, Doug, and Eric) have been preparing for the Olympics. It is now time for the swimming time trials. The five swimmers each compete in the four different strokes (backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle). The top three finishers in each event will qualify for the Olympic swim team in that stroke. Using the following clues, determine the order of finish in each of the four strokes.


If you keenly observe these clues,

Clue 5th is the most imp 1, as it fixed the positions of Adam, Brad & Eric i.e. they all 3 together...ok

Now look at clue: 7th it says, Brag & Eric shouldn’t be in 3rd place…so these 2guys never occupies...Isn’t it.

Another clue: 10th says, Carl always occupied different positions….ok...Always unique...

Like wise you got to collect the clinchers from the given conditions and try to build remaining possibilities…

Well….i know particularly this kind of arrangement Walla problem bit difficult…butt one thing is sure if you practice lott then there’s always chance of cracking these questions bit easily…
So, buddy keep practicing ….this is the right time you to learn these kind of probs..

U know for your information I posted the problem, Q.No: 5 still Its hard for me to solve…in fact I didn’t even posted answer for it…Its Damn Tough…here 1thing we have to remember is CAT doesn’t needs to solve all the problems in the Test but Only we got to pickup easy one’s...that’s the SMART strategy to bell the CAT..

These tough questions are useful for us to prepare for the worst situations….and also in the process we learn some new techniques…

Don’t worry….keep trying….
ALL THE BEST….
