Logical Reasoning - Logical Problems - Discussion

Very helpful for the coat so much logical work helps you get in to gifted program.

@Somnath.

Base 2 (Binary should be able to help you with your problem).

Bag 1 = 1 chocolate = 000 000 001.

Bag 2 = 2 chocolates = 000 000 010.

Bag 3 = 4 chocolates = 000 000 100.

Bag 4 = 8 chocolates = 000 001 000.

And so on, all the way to:

Bag 10 = 512 chocolates = 100 000 000.

Assuming that a 1000 chocolates are requested by the first customer, you will use bags 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, and 4; i.e 1.

512 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 8 = 1000.

So the answer is 10 bags.

This problem is easy as only addition (Sum of chocolates) is involved.

Here is a harder question, how many pieces should a grocer break his 10 Kg weight piece into, if he wishes to be able to measure weights from 100 gm to 10 Kg at intervals of 100 gm?

i.e 100 gm, 200 gm, 300 gm, . All the way too 9.9 kg, 10 kg.

@Somnath.

Your question has no base. Kindly please go through it again yourself and see if you have made a mistake or not.

You own a shop of chocolates. You want to give exact number of chocolates (say for orders up to 1000 chocolates) to customers without counting them at the time of giving. You can pre fill chocolates in bags by counting them upfront and give appropriate bags (one or many) to fulfill the order. What is the minimum number of bags will you need to satisfy your first order? (Remember you do not know what is the order upfront).

Solve it now I am waiting for results.

Thanks sundar.

Sir your explanation is very good.

Explation is corrcet.

All of you came up wit good answers :-) and special thanks to Sundar :-)

It will help to understand if we can get more clarification on these.

Hi Viewers,

To solve these kind of problems just make the given data into expressions.

Tanya is older than Eric ==> Tanya > Eric

Cliff is older than Tanya ==> Cliff > Tanya > Eric

Eric is older than Cliff : This is wrong, because from the above statement we can easily find that Eric is younger than Cliff and Tanya.

Therefore the answer is 'False' (Option B).

Hope this will help you. Have a nice day!
