Explanations
1. There is no doubt about Set 1. Here, the third statement logically follows from the first two statements. The representation will be like:
In Set 2, a scenario can be drawn up where both the first two statements are satisfied but the third statement is not satisfied. So, the third statement does not always follow:
Set 3 is very similar to Set 2. The one scenario that satisfies the first trwo statements without satisfying the third will be like:
2. Total cost of the bus per year = Rs. (500000 + 4% of 500000 + 5000) = Rs.525000. He wants to make 20% of this amount i.e. Rs. 105000 in a year. So, his income per month should be 105000/12 = Rs.8750.
Note that he doesnt want to make 20% profit in the first year. He wants 20% of his investment back in the first year. In this way, he will start making profit only after five years.
