6– Solutions for questions 8 to 10:

Combining i, ii and iii, we have From (i) and (iii), we can say that Preethi is the second person
1– B from the front and Harati is the third person from the end.
2– E
From (iv), the positions of Riti and Keerti are first from the front
3– D
and first from the end, but it can be in any order.
4– C
5– A
6– F From (ii), we can say that Riti cannot be at the first position from
front, since Swathi is infront of Riti. Hence, Keerthi is the first
person from the front and Riti is the first person from the end.
(a) E stands ahead of D and behind B. Choice (C)
From (v), Deepthi cannot be immediately infront of Riti, since
(b) Five persons stand behind B. Choice (A) she is not the second person from the end. Hence, Pragati and
Deepthi are in the third and the fourth positions from the front
respectively. Hence, Swathi’s position is the second from the end.
3. From the given information, it can be said that all other
persons are standing ahead of Swaroop. So, Swaroop  The final arrangement is as follows.
must be standing in the last position. Bala, Ajay and Preeti
are standing ahead of Harini. Hence, Harini must be  Front
standing in the fourth position. As the tallest person is
standing behind Harini, Swaroop must be the tallest Keerthi
person. Bala is in the second position and as the shortest
person is standing ahead of Bala and Ajay, Ajay must be Preethi
standing in the third position and Preeti, the shortest
person, must be standing in the first position. Therefore, the Pragati
order of the positions can be represented as follows.
Preeti, Bala, Ajay, Harini, Swaroop. Deepthi
Choice (D) cannot be true, as Harini is standing at the
second position from the rear end of the row. Harati
Choice (D) Swathi

Choice (D)
Case (y) F E
Case (z) F E 9. Swathi is standing at the sixth position from the beginning
of the queue. Choice (C)
From (ii), since D is to the right of E, case (z) is not possible.

possible case is,
Solutions for questions 11 to 14:

From condition (1), A and F are not seated at the ends, also the
persons sitting at the ends do not have hall-tickets whose L N M
number ends with 2. Given I is to the immediate left of N. J is neither adjacent to M
From condition (2), since neither A nor F is at the ends, they nor I. Hence N is facing south and I is to the immediate right of
form the middle pair. M. Given K sits second to the left of I. I and N face different
directions. Hence, K sits to the immediate right of N, I faces
B/E E/B A/F F/A C/D D/C north and J sits exactly between L and K. O sits to the
immediate left of M. Given O is to the left of J and is to the right
of K. O faces north.
Since the last two digits of the hall ticket numbers are multiples
of 6: 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96. Hence, J faces south and K faces north.

just below U’s floor and above V’s floor. V lives on odd numbered xB4 /B1 / B3 B3 B6 xB4 / B1 / B3
floor but is not the first floor. Hence, the only possibility is, U lives on G5 G2
the seventh floor, Y lives on the sixth floor and V lives on the fifth
floor. Given, the number of floors between V’s floor and X’s floors is хG2
equal to the number of floors between W’s floor and S’s floor. S and
W do not live on consecutive floors. The number of floors Case (ii): xB4 /B1 / B3 B3 B6 xB4 / B1 / B3
between S’s floor and X’s floor is not less than one. Hence, S, X
and W lives on the fourth, the second and the first floors respectively. G5 G2

at right extreme end.
16. There are four floors. Choice (C) Also we can eliminate case (ii), as in this arrangement B3 is
opposite to G3, which is not possible.
17. V lives just above S’s floor. Choice (D) We can also eliminate case (iv), as B3 is not at any extreme end.

____ _____ _____ 29. Clearly, from the solution given above, the statement, “D
____ __F__ _____ and B were not sitting in the same row or in the same
____ H__ G__ column” is not useful to find the arrangement. Hence it is
redundant. Choice (C)
