GMAT Question of the Day – Critical Reasoning

My car has several faults, each of which is caused by one single action. When I turn on the engine, open the door and close the sunroof, there is a clank and a bang. When I open the door, wind down the window and change gear, there is a twang and a rattle. When I close the sunroof, open the glove compartment and change gear, there is a twang and a clank.

If I open the door, turn on the engine and open the glove compartment, what will I hear?

 a twang

 a clank and a bang

 a bang

 a bang and a rattle

 nothing

  3. Deepak says:

    I guess it is “a clank and a bang”

  4. can_ri says:

    Out of GMAT portion!!
    It is logical reasoning and not CR question…

  5. james says:

    yes i do agree its out of scope in GMAT.

    The answer is A Bang

  6. Basant says:

    the ans is B ie a clank and a bang

  7. vaibhav says:

    useless question…that sort wud never appear in a GMAT exam..

  8. brij says:

    Ans: Nothing…

  9. Kramer says:

    Statement 1 ==> turn on engine + open door + close sunroof = clank + bang
    Statement 2 ==> wind down window + open door + change gear = twang + rattle
    Statement 3 ==> open glove compartment + close sunroof + change gear = twang + clank

    Combining statement 1 and 2 ===> close sunroof = clank
    Combining statement 2 and 3 ===> change gear = twang

    Therefore turn on engine + open door + open glove compartment = bang (choice c)

  10. Raghu says:

    I seriously doubt Will such questions be asked ??

    However, Bang must be the answer

  11. Amit says:

    E nothing

  12. hiranya says:

    the answer will be (D)
    Hint:1.open the door=tang+rattle
    2.turn on the engine=clank+bang
    3.glow compartment=tang+clank
    while we cancel the common words then we get the bang and a rattle (D)

  13. Sanjeev says:

    It will be a twang

  14. Shobhit Bhargava says:

    Its C: A BANG!

    And whoever says its out of GMAT (CR), is stupid!

    Nice question!

  15. Sapan says:

    E – Nothing

  16. eugenio says:

    it’s a bang, remind the one-to-one relationship between actions and consequences..very funny anyway

  17. Nishesh says:

    Ans : C (bang)

  18. The answer is C. a bang.

    E = Engine
    D = Door
    S = Sunroof
    W = Window
    G = Gear
    GC = Glove Compartment

    C = Clank
    B = Bang
    T = Twang
    R = Rattle

    E + D + S –> C + B
    D + W + G –> T + R
    S + GC + G –> T + C

    Since S is the only common “cause” for the C “effect,” S –> C
    Since G is the only common “cause” for the T “effect,” G –> T
    Since D is associated with no common “effect”, D –> nothing
    Since S –> C, and D –> nothing, E –> B
    Since G –> C, and D –> nothing, W –> R
    Since S –> C, and G –> T, GC –> nothing.

    Therefore D + E + GC –> B, as
    D –> nothing
    E –> B
    GC –> nothing
