 CRITICAL THINKING 48. (A) 10 Rabbits = 2 goats
46. (C) Let us solve it backwards: 9 goats = 3 cows
Two days after Monday=Wednesday 8 cows = 2 horses
Immediately after Wednesday = 5 horses = ? Rabbits
Thursday
1 horse = 4 cows
Two days after Thursday=Saturday
5 horses = 4 × 5 cows = 20 cons
Three days after Saturday=Tuesday
5 horses = 20 × 3 goats
47. (C) Rohit is 3rd.
5 horses = 60 goats
Raj is behind Rohit and there are two
5 horses = 60 × 5 Rabbits
people between Raj and Rohit.
Therefore Raj is 6th. 5 horses = 300 Rabbits

There is one person between Mark and 49. (A)

There are 4 people between Rohit who

So, it is clear that C is larger among

people behind Mark. Therefore there
are a total of 8+6=14 people in the
queue. Hence option C is the answer.
