Eight delegates namely - Yameen, Irfan, Sirisena, Ashraf, Malcolm, Jacinda, Prayut and Widodo participated in a conference held in New
York City. Each of the delegates belongs to a different nation among Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Maldives, Sri Lanka, New Zealand,
Indonesia and Thailand not necessarily in the same order. The per capita income (PCI) of the aforementioned nations is in an arithmetic
progression. The delegates are seated around a round table and the number of delegates who are facing away from the centre is the
same as the number of delegates facing towards the centre. Further additional information is given that -
1. The minimum PCI and maximum PCI are USD 7500 and USD 18000 respectively.
2. Ashraf, who is facing towards the centre and doesn't belong to the nation with the least PCI, is not an immediate neighbour of Jacinda
and Sirisena.
3. Jacinda is not seated opposite to Sirisena.
4. The delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards each other, and the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the
immediate left of the delegate from Afghanistan.
5. Sirisena, who is facing outside, is sitting third to the right of the delegate from New Zealand.
6. Yameen's country PCI is equal to the sum of the PCI of his immediate neighbours.
7. Malcolm, who is facing outside, is an immediate neighbour of Irfan and Prayut.
8. Jacinda, who belongs to the nation with maximum PCI, is facing towards the centre. He is sitting second to the left of Malcolm, who is
from Indonesia.
9. Irfan and Prayut belong to the nations whose PCI are USD 10500 and USD 12000, not necessarily in the same order.
10. New Zealand's PCI is greater than USD 9000. Neither Irfan nor Prayut is from New Zealand. Jacinda is not from New Zealand.
Question 1
D Can’t be determined
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let us draw a circular arrangement diagram with 8 spot numbered from 1 to 8.
It is given that the minimum PCI and maximum PCI are USD 7500 and USD 18000 respectively. Also, the PCI are in an arithmetic
progression.
Therefore, the PCI of the eight nations are USD 7500, USD 9000, USD 10500, USD 12000, USD 13500, USD 15000 ,USD 16500 and USD
18000 in ascending order.
In statement 4, it is given that Sirisena, who is facing outside, is sitting third to the right of the delegate from New Zealand.
Let us assume that Sirisena is seated on 1st spot then we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is seated at either 4th or 6th
spot.
Case 1: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 4th spot.
If Malcolm sits on 7th position then Jacinda will have to sit opposite to Sirisena whereas it is given that Sirisena and Jacinda are not
seated opposite to each other. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't sit on 7th spot.
Hence, we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is not seated on 4th spot.
Case 2: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 6th spot.
Irfan and Prayut belong to the nations whose PCI are USD 10500 and USD 12000. Neither Irfan nor Prayut is from New Zealand. Hence,
we can say that New Zealands's PCI can't be either USD 10500 or USD 12000.
In statement (6), it is given that Malcolm, who is facing outside, is an immediate neighbour of Irfan and Prayut.
Hence, we can say that Malcolm can be seated on any of 3rd, 4th and 6th spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 3rd spot then Jacinda should occupy 1st spot which is not vacant. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't occupy
3rd spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 6th spot then Jacinda will occupy 4th spot. But in this case Ashraf has to sit on any one of 8th, 2nd and 3rd seat.
In this case Ashraf has to be a neighbor of either Jacinda and Sirisena which contradicts to the information given in statement 2. Hence,
we can say that Malcolm can't occupy 6th spot as well.
Therefore, we can say that Malcolm occupies 4th spot. Consequently, Jacinda sits on 2nd spot. Also, Irfan and Prayut can occupy 3rd
and 4th spot in any order.
The delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards each other, and the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate
left of the delegate from Afghanistan.
We can say that the delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards centre. That's only possible when they are seated at
Yameen's country PCI is equal to the sum of the PCI of his immediate neighbours. This is only possible when his neigbour's PCI are USD
7500 and 9000 in any order. Therefore, Yameen can occupy only 8th spot.
It is given that Ashraf is facing towards the centre and is not an immediate neighbour of Jacinda and Sirisena. Therefore, we can say that
Ashraf is from Afghanistan and occupies 7th spot. Consequently, Widodo will occupy 6th spot.
Also, it is given that Ashraf doesn't belong to the nation with the least PCI. Hence, we can say that Sirisena belongs to the nation with the
PCI USD 7500. Consequently, we can say that Afghanistan's PCI is 9000 USD. The PCI of New Zealand and Indonesia are USD 13500 and
USD 15000 in any order.
From the arrangement, we can see that Sirisena is seated 3rd to the right of Widodo. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Question 2
A Ashraf
B Irfan
D Sirisena
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let us draw a circular arrangement diagram with 8 spot numbered from 1 to 8.
It is given that the minimum PCI and maximum PCI are USD 7500 and USD 18000 respectively. Also, the PCI are in an arithmetic
progression.
Therefore, the PCI of the eight nations are USD 7500, USD 9000, USD 10500, USD 12000, USD 13500, USD 15000 ,USD 16500 and USD
18000 in ascending order.
In statement 4, it is given that Sirisena, who is facing outside, is sitting third to the right of the delegate from New Zealand.
Let us assume that Sirisena is seated on 1st spot then we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is seated at either 4th or 6th
spot.
Case 1: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 4th spot.
It is given in statement 10 that Neither Irfan nor Prayut are from New Zealand. Also we know that Malcolm is sitting in between Irfan and
Prayut Hence Malcolm should have 1 space vacant on both sides. Hence Malcolm can sit either at 6th or 7th spot. If Malcolm sits on 6th
spot then Jacinda has to sit on 4th position. While it is given that Jacinda is not from New Zealand. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't
sit on 6th spot.
If Malcolm sits on 7th position then Jacinda will have to sit opposite to Sirisena whereas it is given that Sirisena and Jacinda are not
seated opposite to each other. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't sit on 7th spot.
Hence, we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is not seated on 4th spot.
Case 2: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 6th spot.
Irfan and Prayut belong to the nations whose PCI are USD 10500 and USD 12000. Neither Irfan nor Prayut is from New Zealand. Hence,
we can say that New Zealands's PCI can't be either USD 10500 or USD 12000.
Hence, we can say that Malcolm can be seated on any of 3rd, 4th and 6th spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 3rd spot then Jacinda should occupy 1st spot which is not vacant. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't occupy
3rd spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 6th spot then Jacinda will occupy 4th spot. But in this case Ashraf has to sit on any one of 8th, 2nd and 3rd seat.
In this case Ashraf has to be a neighbor of either Jacinda and Sirisena which contradicts to the information given in statement 2. Hence,
we can say that Malcolm can't occupy 6th spot as well.
Therefore, we can say that Malcolm occupies 4th spot. Consequently, Jacinda sits on 2nd spot. Also, Irfan and Prayut can occupy 3rd
and 4th spot in any order.
The delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards each other, and the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate
left of the delegate from Afghanistan.
We can say that the delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards centre. That's only possible when they are seated at
3rd and 7th spot. Also, the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate left of the delegate from Afghanistan. This is possible only
when the delegate from Afghanistan occupies 7th spot. Consequently, the delegates from Pakistan and Australia will occupy 8th and 3rd
spot respectively.
Yameen's country PCI is equal to the sum of the PCI of his immediate neighbours. This is only possible when his neigbour's PCI are USD
7500 and 9000 in any order. Therefore, Yameen can occupy only 8th spot.
It is given that Ashraf is facing towards the centre and is not an immediate neighbour of Jacinda and Sirisena. Therefore, we can say that
Ashraf is from Afghanistan and occupies 7th spot. Consequently, Widodo will occupy 6th spot.
From the arrangement, we can see that Yameen is from Pakistan. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

A Sirisena
B Malcolm
C Jacinda
D Can’t be determined
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let us draw a circular arrangement diagram with 8 spot numbered from 1 to 8.
It is given that the minimum PCI and maximum PCI are USD 7500 and USD 18000 respectively. Also, the PCI are in an arithmetic
progression.
Therefore, the PCI of the eight nations are USD 7500, USD 9000, USD 10500, USD 12000, USD 13500, USD 15000 ,USD 16500 and USD
18000 in ascending order.
Let us assume that Sirisena is seated on 1st spot then we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is seated at either 4th or 6th
spot.
Case 1: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 4th spot.
It is given in statement 10 that Neither Irfan nor Prayut are from New Zealand. Also we know that Malcolm is sitting in between Irfan and
Prayut Hence Malcolm should have 1 space vacant on both sides. Hence Malcolm can sit either at 6th or 7th spot. If Malcolm sits on 6th
spot then Jacinda has to sit on 4th position. While it is given that Jacinda is not from New Zealand. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't
sit on 6th spot.
If Malcolm sits on 7th position then Jacinda will have to sit opposite to Sirisena whereas it is given that Sirisena and Jacinda are not
seated opposite to each other. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't sit on 7th spot.
Hence, we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is not seated on 4th spot.
Case 2: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 6th spot.
Irfan and Prayut belong to the nations whose PCI are USD 10500 and USD 12000. Neither Irfan nor Prayut is from New Zealand. Hence,
we can say that New Zealands's PCI can't be either USD 10500 or USD 12000.
In statement (6), it is given that Malcolm, who is facing outside, is an immediate neighbour of Irfan and Prayut.
Hence, we can say that Malcolm can be seated on any of 3rd, 4th and 6th spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 3rd spot then Jacinda should occupy 1st spot which is not vacant. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't occupy
3rd spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 6th spot then Jacinda will occupy 4th spot. But in this case Ashraf has to sit on any one of 8th, 2nd and 3rd seat.
In this case Ashraf has to be a neighbor of either Jacinda and Sirisena which contradicts to the information given in statement 2. Hence,
we can say that Malcolm can't occupy 6th spot as well.
Therefore, we can say that Malcolm occupies 4th spot. Consequently, Jacinda sits on 2nd spot. Also, Irfan and Prayut can occupy 3rd
and 4th spot in any order.
We can say that the delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards centre. That's only possible when they are seated at
3rd and 7th spot. Also, the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate left of the delegate from Afghanistan. This is possible only
when the delegate from Afghanistan occupies 7th spot. Consequently, the delegates from Pakistan and Australia will occupy 8th and 3rd
spot respectively.
Yameen's country PCI is equal to the sum of the PCI of his immediate neighbours. This is only possible when his neigbour's PCI are USD
7500 and 9000 in any order. Therefore, Yameen can occupy only 8th spot.
It is given that Ashraf is facing towards the centre and is not an immediate neighbour of Jacinda and Sirisena. Therefore, we can say that
Ashraf is from Afghanistan and occupies 7th spot. Consequently, Widodo will occupy 6th spot.
Also, it is given that Ashraf doesn't belong to the nation with the least PCI. Hence, we can say that Sirisena belongs to the nation with the
PCI USD 7500. Consequently, we can say that Afghanistan's PCI is 9000 USD. The PCI of New Zealand and Indonesia are USD 13500 and
USD 15000 in any order.

B Maldives
C Indonesia
D New Zealand
Answer: D
Explanation:
Let us draw a circular arrangement diagram with 8 spot numbered from 1 to 8.
It is given that the minimum PCI and maximum PCI are USD 7500 and USD 18000 respectively. Also, the PCI are in an arithmetic
progression.
Therefore, the PCI of the eight nations are USD 7500, USD 9000, USD 10500, USD 12000, USD 13500, USD 15000 ,USD 16500 and USD
18000 in ascending order.
Let us assume that Sirisena is seated on 1st spot then we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is seated at either 4th or 6th
spot.
Case 1: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 4th spot.
It is given in statement 10 that Neither Irfan nor Prayut are from New Zealand. Also we know that Malcolm is sitting in between Irfan and
Prayut Hence Malcolm should have 1 space vacant on both sides. Hence Malcolm can sit either at 6th or 7th spot. If Malcolm sits on 6th
spot then Jacinda has to sit on 4th position. While it is given that Jacinda is not from New Zealand. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't
sit on 6th spot.
If Malcolm sits on 7th position then Jacinda will have to sit opposite to Sirisena whereas it is given that Sirisena and Jacinda are not
seated opposite to each other. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't sit on 7th spot.
Hence, we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is not seated on 4th spot.
Case 2: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 6th spot.
Irfan and Prayut belong to the nations whose PCI are USD 10500 and USD 12000. Neither Irfan nor Prayut is from New Zealand. Hence,
we can say that New Zealands's PCI can't be either USD 10500 or USD 12000.
In statement (6), it is given that Malcolm, who is facing outside, is an immediate neighbour of Irfan and Prayut.
Hence, we can say that Malcolm can be seated on any of 3rd, 4th and 6th spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 3rd spot then Jacinda should occupy 1st spot which is not vacant. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can't occupy
3rd spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 6th spot then Jacinda will occupy 4th spot. But in this case Ashraf has to sit on any one of 8th, 2nd and 3rd seat.
In this case Ashraf has to be a neighbor of either Jacinda and Sirisena which contradicts to the information given in statement 2. Hence,
we can say that Malcolm can't occupy 6th spot as well.
Therefore, we can say that Malcolm occupies 4th spot. Consequently, Jacinda sits on 2nd spot. Also, Irfan and Prayut can occupy 3rd
and 4th spot in any order.
We can say that the delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards centre. That's only possible when they are seated at
3rd and 7th spot. Also, the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate left of the delegate from Afghanistan. This is possible only
when the delegate from Afghanistan occupies 7th spot. Consequently, the delegates from Pakistan and Australia will occupy 8th and 3rd
spot respectively.
Yameen's country PCI is equal to the sum of the PCI of his immediate neighbours. This is only possible when his neigbour's PCI are USD
7500 and 9000 in any order. Therefore, Yameen can occupy only 8th spot.
It is given that Ashraf is facing towards the centre and is not an immediate neighbour of Jacinda and Sirisena. Therefore, we can say that
Ashraf is from Afghanistan and occupies 7th spot. Consequently, Widodo will occupy 6th spot.
Also, it is given that Ashraf doesn't belong to the nation with the least PCI. Hence, we can say that Sirisena belongs to the nation with the
PCI USD 7500. Consequently, we can say that Afghanistan's PCI is 9000 USD. The PCI of New Zealand and Indonesia are USD 13500 and
USD 15000 in any order.
Instructions

To solve this question, we will first draw a 5X5 table with the given parameters and fill the given details.
From 4, Boyce was ranked fifth in storage.
From 2, Boyce was ranked fourth in control.
Question 6
A 7S
B A6
C Veetle
D Boyce
Answer: D
Explanation:
From 8 and 1, Veetle did not receive same rank in any two parameters and Veetle was ranked worse than 7S in all parameters except
Storage. Hence, Veetle must be ranked 1 in Storage.
If the car with the least sum of ranks across the five parameters is declared the car of the year, which car will be the car of the year?
A Q8
B 7S
D Cannot be determined
Answer: B
Explanation:
To solve this question, we will first draw a 5X5 table with the given parameters and fill the given details.
From 4, Boyce was ranked fifth in storage.
From 2, Boyce was ranked fourth in control.
From 8 and 1, Veetle did not receive same rank in any two parameters and Veetle was ranked worse than 7S in all parameters except
Storage. Hence, Veetle must be ranked 1 in Storage.
Question 8
B 2
C 3
D More than 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
To solve this question, we will first draw a 5X5 table with the given parameters and fill the given details.
From 4, Boyce was ranked fifth in storage.
From 2, Boyce was ranked fourth in control.
From 8 and 1, Veetle did not receive same rank in any two parameters and Veetle was ranked worse than 7S in all parameters except
Storage. Hence, Veetle must be ranked 1 in Storage.From 6, 7S was ranked first or second in Control.
From 4, Boyce was ranked better than Q8 and 7S in Power and Suspension.
Also, from 3, Q8 was ranked better than 7S in Power.
Since 7S cannot be 5 in Power, the ranks of Boyce, Q8, 7S are 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
Since 7S is ranked fourth, Veetle should be ranked fifth in Power.
A6 has to be ranked first in Power.
7S can neither be fourth or fifth in suspension as Vettle is already fifth in Power. Which implies Boyce has to be second in Suspension.
Veetle has to be fourth in suspension and Q8 has to be fifth in Suspension.
A6 has to be first in Suspension.
Since every car has to be third in at least one parameter, Boyce has to be third in Interiors.
Since Veetle cannot be third in Interiors, it has to be third in Control. Veetle has to be second in Interiors.
7S has to be first in Interiors.
Since Q8 was second in two parameters, Q8 has to be second in both Control and Storage. Which implies it has to be fourth in Interiors.
A6 has to be fifth in Interiors.
7S has to be first in Control.
A6 has to be fifth in Control. Hence, A6 has to be third in Storage.
7S has to be fourth in Storage.
The following diagram shows the layout of a house. Seven persons Amar, Bindu, Charan, Deepak, Edward, Faisal and Ganesh live in the 7
rooms of this house. No 2 persons live in the same room.
The rooms bordering the corners are referred to as corner rooms. All the rooms are rectangular in shape. The rooms that share a wall
with a room are termed its neighbours.
The values given within a room in the diagram indicate the floor area of the room (in m2 ). Also, the values written along the edges
indicate the side of the room. All the rooms are perfectly rectangular in shape. The rooms are named P, Q, R, S, T, U and V as shown in
the diagram.
Question 9
A Deepak
B Faisal
C Edward
D More than one of the above
Answer: C
Explanation:
Area of room T is 12 m2 .
One side of room T is 6 m in length.
Therefore, the area of room S is 4.
It has been given that at 5 rooms have the same area and rooms P and R have the same area.
Rooms P, Q and R have the same area.
Area of room P + area of room Q = 32 m2 Rooms P and Q share a wall.
Therefore, the lengths of rooms P and Q must be the same.
Let the length of room P be l.
Length of room U =length of room V = 2l Let the width of room P be b.
Case 1:
Amar lives in room V. The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different. Edward and
Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Therefore, Edward must live in room P and Ganesh must live in room
R.
Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward. Faisal does not live in the smallest room. Therefore, Faisal must live in room T. Faisal and
Ganesh are neighbours of Deepak. Therefore, Deepak must live in room S. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the
Case 2:
Amar lives in room T. The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different. Edward and
Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward and he does not live in the
smallest room. Ganesh does not live in room Q. Therefore, Ganesh must live in room P and Edward must live in room V.
Ganesh and Faisal are neighbours of Deepak. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in
which Charan lives. Therefore, the arrangement will be as follows:
A Edward
B Deepak
C Charan
D Amar
Answer: B
Explanation:
Area of room T is 16 m2 .
One side of room T is 6 m in length.
Therefore, the area of room S is 4.
It has been given that at 5 rooms have the same area and rooms P and R have the same area.
Rooms P, Q and R have the same area.
Area of room P + area of room Q = 32 m2 Rooms P and Q share a wall.
Therefore, the lengths of rooms P and Q must be the same.
Let the length of room P be l.
Length of room U =length of room V = 2l Let the width of room P be b.
lb = 16 ---------(1)
Case 1:
Amar lives in room V. The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different. Edward and
Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Therefore, Edward must live in room P and Ganesh must live in room
R.
Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward. Faisal does not live in the smallest room. Therefore, Faisal must live in room T. Faisal and
Ganesh are neighbours of Deepak. Therefore, Deepak must live in room S. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the
perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, Charan must live in room U and Bindu must live in room Q. The arrangement will
be as follows:
Amar lives in room T. The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different. Edward and
Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward and he does not live in the
smallest room. Ganesh does not live in room Q. Therefore, Ganesh must live in room P and Edward must live in room V.
Ganesh and Faisal are neighbours of Deepak. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in
which Charan lives. Therefore, the arrangement will be as follows:
Question 11
For how many persons, the room that they live in can be determined?
A 7
B 5
C 4
D 0
Answer: D
Explanation:
Area of room T is 16 m2 .
One side of room T is 6 m in length.
Therefore, the area of room S is 4.
It has been given that at 5 rooms have the same area and rooms P and R have the same area.
Rooms P, Q and R have the same area.
Area of room P + area of room Q = 32 m2 Rooms P and Q share a wall.
Therefore, the lengths of rooms P and Q must be the same.
Let the length of room P be l.
Length of room U =length of room V = 2l Let the width of room P be b.
lb = 16 ---------(1)
Case 1:
Amar lives in room V. The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different. Edward and
Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Therefore, Edward must live in room P and Ganesh must live in room
R.
Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward. Faisal does not live in the smallest room. Therefore, Faisal must live in room T. Faisal and
Ganesh are neighbours of Deepak. Therefore, Deepak must live in room S. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the
perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, Charan must live in room U and Bindu must live in room Q. The arrangement will
be as follows:
Amar lives in room T. The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different. Edward and
Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward and he does not live in the
smallest room. Ganesh does not live in room Q. Therefore, Ganesh must live in room P and Edward must live in room V.
Ganesh and Faisal are neighbours of Deepak. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in
which Charan lives. Therefore, the arrangement will be as follows:
The areas of the rooms in which three of the 4 persons given in the options live can be definitely said to be the same. Select the person
the area of whose room can be different from the other three?
A Deepak
B Ganesh
C Edward
D Charan
Answer: A
Explanation:
Area of room T is 16 m2 .
One side of room T is 6 m in length.
Therefore, the area of room S is 4.
It has been given that at 5 rooms have the same area and rooms P and R have the same area.
Rooms P, Q and R have the same area.
Area of room P + area of room Q = 32 m2 Rooms P and Q share a wall.
Therefore, the lengths of rooms P and Q must be the same.
Let the length of room P be l.
Length of room U =length of room V = 2l Let the width of room P be b.
lb = 16 ---------(1)
Case 1:
Amar lives in room V. The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different. Edward and
Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Therefore, Edward must live in room P and Ganesh must live in room
R.
Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward. Faisal does not live in the smallest room. Therefore, Faisal must live in room T. Faisal and
Ganesh are neighbours of Deepak. Therefore, Deepak must live in room S. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the
perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, Charan must live in room U and Bindu must live in room Q. The arrangement will
be as follows:
Amar lives in room T. The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different. Edward and
Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward and he does not live in the
smallest room. Ganesh does not live in room Q. Therefore, Ganesh must live in room P and Edward must live in room V.
Ganesh and Faisal are neighbours of Deepak. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in
which Charan lives. Therefore, the arrangement will be as follows:
A market analyst trades five instruments A, B, C, D and E. Return(%) is the percentage rate of return of the market. Consider any
instrument with risk b, consider a% market percentage return for a specific year , then the instrument rate of return will be (a*b)% for that
year for that instrument. The percentage holding of the instrument in the beginning of 2013 is shown in Figure 1. The risk (b) of each
instrument is shown in the table down below (Table 1). The percentage rate of return of market(a) for each year is shown in Table 2.

Question 13
A -1
B -1.5
C -0.25
D 1.75
Answer: A
Explanation:
The average value of A and B is equal to D. From pie chart, (108+36)/2= 72, (81+63)/2 = 72
It is given that neither A nor B has the least holding initially. (A,B)= (72000/360)*63=$12600, (72000/360)*81=$16200 in any order
0.75+x+0.5+y-1.25 = 0.5 (Assume risk for the year 2014=x, risk for the year 2016=y)
=> x+y=0.5
|z|=20x
If |z|=25, x=1.25 y=0 ((x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4))
If |z|=35, x=1.75 y=-1.25 (y is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
A is the answer
Question 14
What is approximate ratio of values of instruments A and B at the end of year 2014 if the market had a negative return in 2014. It is
given that initially value of B was more than that of A?
A 2.45
B 0.88
C 1.58
D 0.32
Answer: B
Explanation:
The average value of A and B is equal to D. From pie chart, (108+36)/2= 72, (81+63)/2 = 72
It is given that neither A nor B has the least holding initially. (A,B)= (72000/360)*63=$12600, (72000/360)*81=$16200 in any order
0.75+x+0.5+y-1.25 = 0.5 (Assume risk for the year 2014=x, risk for the year 2016=y)
=> x+y=0.5
|z|=20x
If |z|=25, x=1.25 y=0 ((x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4))
If |z|=35, x=1.75 y=-1.25 (y is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
B is the answer.
Question 15

the instrument D? It is given that the percentage return of market for the year 2016 is positive.
A 20
B 10
C 35
D 5
Answer: D
Explanation:
It is given that neither A nor B has the least holding initially. (A,B)= (72000/360)*63=$12600, (72000/360)*81=$16200 in any order
0.75+x+0.5+y-1.25 = 0.5 (Assume risk for the year 2014=x, risk for the year 2016=y)
=> x+y=0.5
|z|=20x
If |z|=25, x=1.25 y=0 ((x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4))
If |z|=35, x=1.75 y=-1.25 (y is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
D is the answer.
What can be the maximum ratio of percentage return of C in year 2016 to that of of D in 2017?
A 0.75
B 2.25
C 3.25
Answer: D
Explanation:
The average value of A and B is equal to D. From pie chart, (108+36)/2= 72, (81+63)/2 = 72
It is given that neither A nor B has the least holding initially. (A,B)= (72000/360)*63=$12600, (72000/360)*81=$16200 in any order
0.75+x+0.5+y-1.25 = 0.5 (Assume risk for the year 2014=x, risk for the year 2016=y)
=> x+y=0.5
|z|=20x
If |z|=25, x=1.25 y=0 ((x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4))
If |z|=35, x=1.75 y=-1.25 (y is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
The maximum ratio of return of C in year 2016 to the return(in dollars) of D in 2017 = (35*0.5/-10*-1) =1.75
The following graph provides the percentage change in the revenue of a company for a period of 15 years from 2005 to 2019, as
compared to the previous year.
Question 17
What is the ratio of the revenue of the company in 2007 to the revenue of the company in 2011?
A 2:3
B 2:5
C 1:2
D 1:3
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the revenue of the company in the year 2004 be 100x
The revenue of the company in the year 2005 = 100x+25% of 100x = 125x
= 1:2
Question 18
If the revenue of the company did not exceed 250mn during the entire period, then the revenue in the year 2008 can be atmost
A 100mn
C 125 mn
D 120 mn
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the revenue of the company in the year 2004 be 100x
The revenue of the company in the year 2005 = 100x+25% of 100x = 125x
From the above table, it is clear that the company had the maximum revenue in the year 2010 and 2012 i.e 250x
250x = 250 mn
x = 1 million
If there is a period of five consecutive years between 2005-2019 where the revenue of the company did not exceed 125 million in any
of those five years, what is the maximum possible revenue of the company in the year 2019?
A 125 million
B 126 million
C 200 million
D 250 million
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let the revenue of the company in the year 2004 be 100x
The revenue of the company in the year 2005 = 100x+25% of 100x = 125x
125x = 125 million because in rest of the five year periods the revenue is greater than 125x
x = 1 million
Maximum revenue of the company in the year 2019 is 126x = 126 million
Question 20
During these 15 years, the company donated 10% of its revenue to charity whenever the revenue exceeded 125% of its revenue in the
year 2007, then the total amount donated to the charity if the revenue in the year 2011 is 100 million
A 63.40 million
B 126.80 million
C 118.22 million
D 59.11 million
Answer: D
Explanation:
Let the revenue of the company in the year 2004 be 100x
The revenue of the company in the year 2005 = 100x+25% of 100x = 125x
So in the years when the revenue of the company is greater than 125x, the company donated 10% of it to the charity
=118.225x
= 59.11 million
Instructions
Table 1 gives the distribution of the number of households by income and table 2 gives the details about the customers of some banks
and some estimates given by different banks. The data given in table 2 is for the year 2014-2015
Question 21
What was the share of rural upper middle class households in total households in the year 2013-14?
A 0.025%
B 0.0025%
C .0017%
D .017%
Answer: D
Explanation:
Rural upper middle class households in the year 2013-14 = 90-30= 60
Total households in 2013-14 is 250000 + 102000 = 352000
60
So the required share is 352000 ∗ 100 = 0.017%
Hence option d is the correct answer.
During the year 2014-15, which bank had predicted the number of upper middle-class people most accurately?
B PNB
C BOI
D UBI
Answer: B
Explanation:
Actual upper middle-class population in 2014-15
= 38000 + 10000 = 48000
The bank which has predicted it most accurately is PNB.
Question 23
In the year 2014-15, if one household can have at most 1 bank account, then at least how many middle-class households did not have
a bank account?(Assume that there are no banks other than the given 5 banks.)
A 174400
B 110400
C 136400
D 158400
Answer: B
Explanation:
Number of middle-class people who had bank accounts in the year 2014-15 =
25600.
Total number of middle class households in the year 2014-15 = 1360*100 = 136000.
So the number of middle-class people who did not have a bank account = 136000-25600 = 110400
Question 24
In which year is the ratio of middle-class households to the total number of people the greatest?
A 2012-13
B 2013-14
C 2014-15
Answer: C
Explanation:
The ratio of middle class households to the total number of people for each of the years is as follows.
55000
2012-13 = 336000
92000
2013-14 = 352000
136000
2014-15 = 366000
Clearly we can see that the ratio is largest for the year 2014-15
On a particular day at school following statistics of the sale of 5 different types of drink by school canteen were noted. Table A gives the
number of students who drank each of the five drinks. Table B gives the number of students who drank different combinations of drink.
Further, it is known that the students who drink both Tea and Juice are boys.
Question 25
A 55
B 51
C 49
D 63
Answer: C
Explanation:
Total number of drinks which are sold = 7 + 12 + 8 + 9 + 5 + 6 + 11 + 8 + 7 + 13 = 86
Each student drinks at least 1 drink but less than 3 drinks. So a student either have 1 or 2 different drinks.
Question 26
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
Answer: D
Explanation:
11 students drink both tea and milk. Also, 11 milk drinks were sold.
So 5 boys drank milk and tea and, 6 girls drank milk and tea.
Further, it is known that the students who drink both Tea and Juice are boys.
Hence, all the 4 students who drink tea and coffee must be girls.
Hence, option D is the right choice.
Answer:8
Explanation:
11 students drink both tea and milk. Also, 11 milk drinks were sold.
So 5 boys drank milk and tea and, 6 girls drank milk and tea.
Further, it is known that the students who drink both Tea and Juice are boys.
Hence, all the 4 students who drink tea and coffee must be girls.
Out of the 9 girls who drink coffee, 4 drink tea and coffee.
So the only possibility is that out of the 12 students who drink coffee and soda, 7 are boys and 5 are girls.
Out of the 9 girls who drink coffee, 4 girls drink both coffee-tea and 5 girls drink both coffee-soda.
All 7 students who drink both soda and juice must be girls.
So out of the 11 boys who drink juice, 1 boy drink juice-coffee and 2 boys drink juice-tea.
Answer:1
Explanation:
11 students drink both tea and milk. Also, 11 milk drinks were sold.
So 5 boys drank milk and tea and, 6 girls drank milk and tea.
Further, it is known that the students who drink both Tea and Juice are boys.
Hence, all the 4 students who drink tea and coffee must be girls.
Out of the 9 girls who drink coffee, 4 drink tea and coffee.
So the only possibility is that out of the 12 students who drink coffee and soda, 7 are boys and 5 are girls.
All 7 students who drink both soda and juice must be girls.
So out of the 13 girls who drink soda, 7 girls drink soda-juice, and 5 girls drink soda-coffee.
Thus, number of girls who drink only soda = 13 - 7 - 5 = 1

The following table gives information about the market capitalization, percentage of gross non-performing assets (NPA) and net profit of
100 listed banking stocks in the country.
For each of the three tables, the value in a particular row of the second column gives the number of the banks for which the value of the
parameter is less than that mentioned in the corresponding first column. For example 6th row of Table B, gives that there are 57 banks
with Gross NPA less than 13%
Also it is known that a particular company A will have higher Gross NPA and higher net profit than any other company B, if the Market cap
of company B is less than company A.
Question 29
How many banks are there with a market capitalization of less than 175000 crores Rs or Gross NPA of at least 11% or net profit of less
than 550 crore Rs.?
A 70
B 26
C 100
D None of these
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let us indicate banks with lowest market cap to highest market cap as 1, 2, 3, 4, … 99, 100 respectively.
Number of banks with market capitalization of less than 175000 crores, P = 1 to 68
Number of banks with Gross NPA of at least 11%, Q = 43 to 100
Number of banks with net profit of less than 550 crore Rs, R = 1 to 77
Since ‘or’ is used in the question,
We have P ⋃ Q ⋃ R= 1 to 100
Hence, option C.
Chagan who’s an analyst wants to filter out Banks with a market capitalization of at least 200000 crore Rs and Gross NPA of less than
19% and a net profit of at least 400 crore Rs. How many banks did he screen out?
A 36
B 12
C 25
D None of these
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let us indicate banks with lowest market cap to highest market cap as 1, 2, 3, 4, … 99, 100 respectively.
Number of banks with market capitalization of at least 200000 crore Rs, P = 73 to 100
Number of banks with Gross NPA of Gross NPA of less than 19%, Q = 1 to 84
Number of banks with net profit of at least 400 crore Rs, R = 49 to 100
So P ⋂ Q ⋂ R = 73 to 84 i.e. 12 banks
Nimit wants to invest in Banking stock with Gross NPA of less than 9 % and the net profit of at least 300 crore Rs, the market cap(in
Crore Rs) of the possible banks can be any of the following options except?
A 125000
B 79300
C 114500
D 75000
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let us indicate banks with lowest market cap to highest market cap as 1, 2, 3, 4, … 99, 100 respectively.
Number of banks with Gross NPA of Gross NPA of less than 9%, Q = 1 to 35
Number of banks with net profit of at least 300 crore Rs, R = 29 to 100
So the required number of banks are, Q ⋂ R = 29 to 35
Now from Table A we see that there are 44 banks with market capitalization of ≤ 124999 crore Rs, so the banks from 29 to 35 will
definitely have market cap of ≤ 1249000 crore Rs
Also we see that, banks 25 to 100 have the market capitalization of ≥ 75000 crore Rs.
Hence, the range of market cap for banks from 29 to 35 can be from 75000 crores to Rs 124999 crore Rs (both values included)
Hence option A is not possible.
Question 32
How many banks have Gross NPA’s of less than 17% and the net profit of at least 350 crore Rs?
A 40
B 41
C 42
D 43
Answer: C
Arjun, Ben, Charan and David play a game. They have a bag which contains an apple, an orange, a banana, a guava and a mango. The
game consists of four rounds. In each round, each person randomly picks a fruit from the bag and places it back. Whenever a person
picks a fruit he gets some money. He gets Re.1, Rs. 2, Rs. 3, Rs. 4 and Rs.5 when he picks an apple, an orange, a banana, a guava and a
mango respectively.
Further it is known that:
1. In each of rounds I, III and IV no two players picked the same fruit.
2. The maximum money earned by any of Arjun, Ben and Charan is 12 in all rounds put together.
3. One of the five fruits contributed to Rs. 20 in all the rounds together.
4. The total money with Arjun and Ben was equal at the end of the game.
5. The maximum money was earned in round III.
6. Each fruit was picked by at least one person and each fruit was picked a different number of times.
7. The orange was picked more number of times than the mango.
8. The sum of the money earned by Arjun in round I and David in round IV is Rs.5
9. Arjun picked mango in round III
10. None of Arjun, Ben and Charan picked the same fruit in any two rounds.
Question 33
How much did Ben earn in all the four rounds put together?
A Rs. 12
B Rs. 11
C Rs. 10
D Cannot be determined
Answer: B
Explanation:
There are four people and there were 4 rounds, hence the fruits were picked 16 times.
It is given that each fruit was picked a different number of times. The only possibility is 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 times.
It is given that one of the fruit contributed to 20 rupees. The only possibility is Mango being picked 4 times.
Since Mango is picked 4 times, orange is picked 6 times.
The maximum money earned by any of Arjun, Ben and Charan is 12. Hence, they cannot pick all of Mango, Guava and Banana.
Arjun, Ben and Charan have to choose one of apple or orange.
Since the mango is picked 4 times and orange is picked six times, the apple must be picked 3 times.
Since Arjun, Ben and Charan never picked the same fruit in any of the rounds, D must have picked orange 3 times.
David must have picked mango in the other round.
Arjun, Ben and Charan should have picked mango once each.
Since sum of the money earned by Arjun in round I and David in round IV is Rs.5
The only possibility is Arjun picking a banana in round I and David picking an orange in round IV.
Now, Arjun can score only 11 points.
Arjun and Ben scored the same points. Hence, banana must have been picked by Ben as well.
Thus, Guava was picked only once, by Charan.
Since, the maximum money was earned in III, Guava should have been picked in 4.
Arjun must have picked orange in round II as David already picked orange in round IV.
Arjun must have picked apple in round IV.
Ben can only pick banana in round IV.
Charan should have picked a mango in round IV. Apple in round I and orange in round II.
Ben can pick apple only in round III.
For Ben and David there are two possibilities of Mango/orange for one person and orange/mango for the other person in rounds I and II

Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
Six teams England, France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Belgium participated in a football tournament. The tournament had five rounds such
that at the end of five rounds each team played one match each against all the other five teams. In a match, 3 points were awarded for a
win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.
The following information is known about the teams at the end of 3 rounds.
The below table gives the partial information of the number of goals scored, number of goals conceded, number of matches won, drawn
and lost and the number of points of each of the teams. Some values are intentionally left blank. In any match, no team scored more than
four goals. In any match, the difference between the number of goals scored and the number of goals conceded by a team is less than or
equal to two. No match ended with neither team scoring any goals.
Question 37
A 0
B 1
C 2
D 3
Answer: C
Explanation:
Total number of goals scored by all the teams combined should be equal to the total number of goals conceded by all the teams
combined.
Let us assume, the number of goals conceded by Belgium be ‘x’
Thus, we get
11+9+5+1+7+4 = 5+9+7+4+7+x
=> x = 5
Thus, the number of goals conceded by Belgium is 5.
As Belgium has got 3 points, and its goals for and goals against are not equal, it did not draw all its matches.
Question 38
A Italy
B England
C Belgium
D Cannot be determined
Answer: A
Explanation:
Total number of goals scored by all the teams combined should be equal to the total number of goals conceded by all the teams
combined.
Let us assume, the number of goals conceded by Belgium be ‘x’
Thus, we get
11+9+5+1+7+4 = 5+9+7+4+7+x
=> x = 5
Thus, the number of goals conceded by Belgium is 5.
As Belgium has got 3 points, and its goals for and goals against are not equal, it did not draw all its matches.
Thus, Belgium won 1 match and lost 2.
As Italy got 4 points, it won one game, drew one game and lost one game.
France scored 1, conceded 4 and won 1 game.
Now from the given table, we can understand that it won one game 1-0 and lost the other two 0-2.
From the third statement, we can understand that in the third round England has won the match 2-0 and in the other to matches it has
scored 3 goals and conceded 7 goals.
So England lost the two matches by 2-4 and 1-3.
As the goal difference for any match is at most 2, Germany must have won its matches 4-2, 4-2 and 3-1.
Thus, France did not play Germany in the first three rounds.
Now we know that none of Germany, England, France and Belgium has drawn a match. Thus, Italy must have drawn its match with Spain.
Question 39
Answer:1
Explanation:
Total number of goals scored by all the teams combined should be equal to the total number of goals conceded by all the teams
combined.
Let us assume, the number of goals conceded by Belgium be ‘x’
Thus, we get
11+9+5+1+7+4 = 5+9+7+4+7+x
=> x = 5
Thus, the number of goals conceded by Belgium is 5.
As Belgium has got 3 points, and its goals for and goals against are not equal, it did not draw all its matches.
Thus, Belgium won 1 match and lost 2.
As Italy got 4 points, it won one game, drew one game and lost one game.
France scored 1, conceded 4 and won 1 game.
Now from the given table, we can understand that it won one game 1-0 and lost the other two 0-2.
From the third statement, we can understand that in the third round England has won the match 2-0 and in the other to matches it has
scored 3 goals and conceded 7 goals.
So England lost the two matches by 2-4 and 1-3.
As the goal difference for any match is at most 2, Germany must have won its matches 4-2, 4-2 and 3-1.
Thus, France did not play Germany in the first three rounds.
Now we know that none of Germany, England, France and Belgium has drawn a match. Thus, Italy must have drawn its match with Spain.
From statements 1 and 2, we know that Spain played against Germany and England in rounds 1 and 2. Thus Spain played Italy in round 3.
We know that England won its match in third round. So Germany must have played against Belgium in third round.
Thus, France lost to England 0-2 in the third round.
From statement 3, we now know that Germany played against Italy in the second round. From statement 1, we know that France played
against Italy in the first round.
This implies that, England played against Belgium in the first round.
Therefore, Belgium lost against Germany 2-4 or 1-3 and won against England 4-2 or 3-1.
But Belgium scored 4 goals and conceded 5 goals.
Therefore Belgium lost against Germany 1-3 and won against England 3-1.
Thus, Germany won against Spain and Italy 4-2.
This implies, England lost against Spain with 2-4.
Spain and Italy drew their match 3-3 and Italy won against France 2-0 and France won against Belgium with 1-0.
Thus, the fixtures and results are as shown below.
Answer: D

Instructions
Boom Beach, an epic combat strategy game where the user troops try to damage the "Enemy Tower" which is present on another island.
To attack the base of the enemy tower a user has five types of troops: Rifleman, Heavy, Zooka, Warrior and Tank. A user can create any
number of these troops, but the troops cover different area units (Unit Size) on the boat, thus the number of troops that can be
transported to the enemy base are limited.
The following table gives the details of the area units covered(Unit Size), total health and damage caused per second of a single unit of
each type.
The area of a standard boat is of 10 Unit Size, thus, for example, a boat can carry either 10 Riflemen or 1 tank or any combination of
troops.
Question 42
What is the maximum damage(in units) that can be done to the "Enemy Tower" if there are only 2 standard boats available?
Answer:24000
Explanation:
The time a unit troop can survive is given in the following table:
A Rifleman will survive for 10 seconds and Zooka will survive for 4 seconds.
The fourth column represents the damage a troop can do / unit area it covers on the boat.
A tank can give total damage of 12000 units but covers 10 unit area, the damage per unit area = 12000/10=1200 units
Two boats can carry 2 tanks thus the total damage will be of 24000 units.
A user has one advanced and one standard boat thus what is the maximum damage he can do to the "Enemy Tower"?
A 29300 units
B 29400 units
C 28400 units
D 30000 units
Answer: B
Explanation:
A Rifleman will survive for 10 seconds and Zooka will survive for 4 seconds.
The fourth column represents the damage a troop can do / unit area it covers on the boat.
A tank can give total damage of 12000 units but covers 10 unit area, the damage per unit area = 12000/10=1200 units
Heavy, Warrior and Tank give much more damage than Rifleman and Zooka.
A standard boat will carry a tank which can give damage of 12000 units.
OPTION B
Question 44
How many standard boats will be required to completely destroy an Enemy Tower of 25000 units, if a user have only Zooka troops?
A 7
B 8
C 5
D 6
Answer: A
Explanation:
The time a troop can survive is given in the following table:
The fourth column represents the damage a troop can do / unit area it covers on the boat.
A tank can give total damage of 12000 units but covers 10 unit area, the damage per unit area = 12000/10=1200 units
Zooka gives the damage of 800 units and covers the area of 2 unit size.
Thus 1 standard boat can carry 5 Zookas with the damage of 4000 units per boat.
To destroy the Enemy Tower of 25000 units he will require 25000/4000= 6.25 i.e 7 boats.
Question 45
Answer: A
Explanation:
The time a troop can survive is given in the following table:
A Rifleman will survive for 10 seconds and Zooka will survive for 4 seconds.
The fourth column represents the damage a troop can do / unit area it covers on the boat.
A tank can give total damage of 12000 units but covers 10 unit area, the damage per unit area = 12000/10=1200 units
2 advanced boats full of Zookas: (7 Zookas in each boat) Damage = 14*800= 11200 units
1 standard boat with two heavys and 1 Zooka: Damage = 2*4800+800= 10400 units
1 standard boat with 3 Warriors and one Rifleman:Damage = 3*3000+500= 9500 units
Option A
An ice-cream seller prepares ice-creams of different flavours and sells them in packets of 500 ml each. Each type of ice-cream is
prepared by mixing some ingredients (in liquid form) other than milk. The table given below shows the quantity of all ingredients (in ml)
other than milk to prepare 1-litre ice-cream of each type.
Note that maximum quantity of all ingredients(except milk) taken together available to seller is 14 litres.
Question 46
The ice-cream seller first prepares an equal and maximum number of packets of each type of ice-cream. Then he fully utilizes the
remaining quantity of ingredients to make additional packets of ice-cream. What is the maximum number of ice-cream packets that
can be prepared by the seller?
A 28
B 36
C 42
D 48
Answer: C
Explanation:
Total quantity of each ingredient used in preparing 1 litre of each type of ice-cream .
From the table we can see that with the help of 4140 ml ingredients we can make 1 litre ice-cream of each type. The seller sells in packet
of 500 gms hence in 4140 ml ingredients the seller can make 2 packets of each type pf ice-cream. Therefore to create 1 packet of each
type pf ice-cream the seller requires 2070 ml of ingredients.
Since we have to find out first an equal and maximum number of packets of each type of ice-cream.The maximum quantity of all
ingredients(except milk) taken together available to seller is 14 litres.
14000
Hence seller can make = 2120 = 6.76
Hence we can say that the seller can make 6 packets of each type of ice-cream and he will be left with = 14000 - 6*2070 = 1580 ml of
ingredients.
To maximize the number of packets available to seller, he will make the ice-cream type which require minimum quantity of ingredients to
Hence we can say that the seller can make 12 packets of American jelly and 6 packets of each of the remaining type.
Question 47
All seven ingredients are available in equal quantity. If an equal and maximum possible number of packets of each type of ice-cream is
prepared, then how many packets of each type of ice-cream are prepared?
Answer:3
Explanation:
Total quantity of each ingredient used in preparing 1 litre of each type of ice-cream .
We are given that all ingredients are available in the same quantity. Hence maximum quantity of each ingredient available = 14/7 = 2
litres.
Since quantity of water required is maximum to create 1 packets of each type of ice-cream hence we can say that water is the limiting
ingredient.
2000
Hence an equal and maximum possible number of packets that can be prepared with the help of the ingredients = [ 560 ] = 3.57
Therefore we can say that the seller can prepare 3-3 packets of each type of ice-creams.
Question 48
If at least 2 packets of each type of ice-cream are prepared, then what is the maximum possible number of packets that can be
prepared by the seller?
A 28
B 42
C 46
D 50
Answer: D
Explanation:
Total quantity of each ingredient used in preparing 1 litre of each type of ice-cream .
With the remaining ingredients seller will prepare the ice-cream which consume minimum quantity of ingredients hence total number of
14000−4140
maximum packets that seller can produce = 2*6 + 255 = 50.66
Hence we can say that the seller can produce total 50 packets of ice-cream. Hence we can say that option D is the correct answer.
What is the maximum number of ice-cream packets the seller can prepare with the ingredients available if he plans to make only 2
types of ice-creams ?
A 50
B 52
C 54
D 56
Answer: C
Explanation:
Total quantity of each ingredient used in preparing 1 litre of each type of ice-cream .
The seller can prepare maximum number of packets if he makes just one packet of the ice-cream which require second lowest amount of
ingredient. Rest ingredients will be utilised by seller to make ice-cream which require minimum quantity of ingredients.
Hence we can say that seller will create 1 packet of Sundae ice cream and with the rest of the ingredients he will make American Jelly.
14000−300
Hence total number of packets = 1 + 255 = 54.72
Hence we can say that seller can prepare maximum of 54 packets. Therefore option C is the correct answer.

1. The house which collected the least amount per student had the second highest budget.
2. The budget of the Russel house was Rs. 500 more than the budget of Orwell house but Rs. 500 less than the budget of Shelley house.
3. Keats house had the highest number of students but its budget was not the highest.
Question 50
A Orwell
B Eliot
C Keats
D Cannot be determined
Answer: A
Explanation:
Keats house had the highest number of students but its budget was not the highest. So, there were 70 members in Keats house. Also, the
budget of Keats house was not the highest. If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 200 or Rs. 150, it would definitely
have the highest budget. If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 130, the total budget would be Rs. 9100. In that case,
the highest budget must be greater than Rs. 9100 which is only possible when the house having 50 students would have collected Rs.
200 per student.
The budget of the Russel house was Rs. 500 more than the budget of Orwell house but Rs. 500 less than the budget of Shelley house. If
the amount collected per student from the house which had 40 students be Rs. 130, the total budget of the house would be Rs. 5200 and
in that case, the budget of the other two houses must be Rs. 4700 and Rs. 4200 which is not possible. Similarly, the cases in which the
house having 40 students collect Rs. 110 and Rs. 75, will also be rejected.
If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 110, the total budget would be Rs. 7700. In this case also, the highest budget
must be greater than Rs. 7700 which is only possible when the house having 50 students would have collected Rs. 200 per student.
Again, we know this case is not possible.
So, the amount collected per student in Keats house must be Rs. 75.
The house which collected the least amount per student had the second highest budget. So, Keats house must had the second highest
budget. Therefore, only one house had budget greater than Rs. 5250. We know that the budget of the house having 50 students had
budget greater than Rs. 5250, in any case. The houses having 30 and 40 students could not collect Rs. 200 per student because the total
budget would have exceeded Rs. 5250. So, either the house having 25 students or the house having 50 students would have collected Rs.
200 per student.
Let us assume that the house having 50 students collected Rs. 200 per student. In that case, the total budget would be Rs. 10000. For
the second case to be valid, the other houses must have budget equal to Rs. 4750 and Rs. 4250 which is not possible. Also, if the second
condition cannot be fulfilled by other three houses. So, our assumption is not correct.
So, the house having 25 students must have collected Rs. 200 per student.
From the table we can see that the Orwell house had the minimum budget.
Question 51
A Rs. 2750
B Rs. 6500
C Rs. 4500
D Rs. 5200
Answer: D
Explanation:
Keats house had the highest number of students but its budget was not the highest. So, there were 70 members in Keats house. Also, the
budget of Keats house was not the highest. If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 200 or Rs. 150, it would definitely
have the highest budget. If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 130, the total budget would be Rs. 9100. In that case,
the highest budget must be greater than Rs. 9100 which is only possible when the house having 50 students would have collected Rs.
200 per student.
The budget of the Russel house was Rs. 500 more than the budget of Orwell house but Rs. 500 less than the budget of Shelley house. If
the amount collected per student from the house which had 40 students be Rs. 130, the total budget of the house would be Rs. 5200 and
in that case, the budget of the other two houses must be Rs. 4700 and Rs. 4200 which is not possible. Similarly, the cases in which the
house having 40 students collect Rs. 110 and Rs. 75, will also be rejected.
If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 110, the total budget would be Rs. 7700. In this case also, the highest budget
must be greater than Rs. 7700 which is only possible when the house having 50 students would have collected Rs. 200 per student.
Again, we know this case is not possible.
So, the amount collected per student in Keats house must be Rs. 75.
Let us assume that the house having 50 students collected Rs. 200 per student. In that case, the total budget would be Rs. 10000. For
the second case to be valid, the other houses must have budget equal to Rs. 4750 and Rs. 4250 which is not possible. Also, if the second
condition cannot be fulfilled by other three houses. So, our assumption is not correct.
So, the house having 25 students must have collected Rs. 200 per student.
We have already seen that the second condition cannot be fulfilled taking Rs. 5250 into consideration. To fulfill the second condition, only
one case is possible:
From the table, we can see that the budget of Eliot house was Rs. 5200

So, the house having 25 students must have collected Rs. 200 per student.
From the table, we can see that there were 50 members in the Shelley house.

Instructions
Five friends Akhil, Bhanu, Chetan, Dinesh and Esha like different sports viz. Badminton, Cricket, Football, Hockey, and Tennis. Each friend
likes a different number of sports, and each sport is liked by at least one friend. It is also known that:
1. The absolute difference between the number of sports liked by Dinesh and Chetan is equal to the number of sports liked by Akhil.
2. Hockey and Football are the only least and most liked sports respectively
3. Bhanu and Akhil together like only one sport which is not cricket.
Question 54
What is the sum of the number of friends who like football, hockey and tennis? (Enter ‘0’ if the answer cannot be determined)
Answer:9
Explanation:
The difference between the number of sports liked by Dinesh and Chetan is equal to the number of sports liked by Akhil. and Chetan likes
all sports except hockey. So, Chetan likes 4 sports. Then, we have the following possibilities of number of sports liked by each friend.
It is given that the sum of the number of sports liked by Bhanu and esha is greater than 5. So, case I is not possible.
Akhil and Esha like cricket and Akhil and Bhanu together like a sport which is not cricket. From this, we can infer that Akhil likes at least 2
sports. So, case II is also not possible.Thus, Akhil likes 3 sports.
Now, if Akhil and Bhanu together like only one sport, Bhanu cannot like 5 sports. Therefore, Esha likes 5 sports and Bhanu likes 2 sports.
We get the following table:
Tennis and badminton are liked by an equal number of friends. Akhil and Bhanu together like only one sport other than cricket. So, that
sport must be football. If that sport is either tennis or badminton, then football would not be the most liked. Also, that sport cannot be
hockey because then hockey would not be the least liked.
For how many friends can we determine the number of sports liked by them?
Answer:5
Explanation:
The difference between the number of sports liked by Dinesh and Chetan is equal to the number of sports liked by Akhil. and Chetan likes

is also not possible.Thus, Akhil likes 3 sports. Now, if Akhil and Bhanu together like only one sport, Bhanu cannot like 5 sports. Therefore,
Esha likes 5 sports and Bhanu likes 2 sports. We get the following table:
Now, we have to adjust Akhil, Bhanu and Dinesh in the above table. Akhil and Bhanu cannot be together as they already together like
football. So, there are three possibilities:
Question 56
A I only
B I and II only
C III only

sport must be football. If that sport is either tennis or badminton, then football would not be the most liked. Also, that sport cannot be
hockey because then hockey would not be the least liked.
An online Bus Ticket booking service GoBaba is used by customers to book and pay for the bus tickets all over India. GoBaba has a
wallet where they maintain a Virtual currency GoCash coins. One has to compulsorily use these coins in the next transactions instead of
paying Rupees. Each GoCash coin is equal to one rupee, but the GoCash coins expire at the end of each month.
For the month of May, GoBaba released five coupon codes to give discounts to their users. Each coupon code can be applied once a
month. A user can apply only one coupon for a transaction.
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
Cashback is the GoCash coins provided by the company after the complete payment of the transaction in the form of rupees. In the case
of the discount, a user has to pay a reduced amount for a ticket.
A Cashback or a Discount is applicable to the transaction amount after subtracting the GoCash coins i.e the amount paid in the form of
Rupees. Minimum transaction is also defined in terms of the amount paid in Rupees.
A minimum of 1 ticket has to be booked for a transaction and each transaction can have multiple tickets.
Question 58
Aman wanted to book two tickets in the month of May, both of Rs 1200. What is the minimum amount(rupees) he has to pay to buy the
tickets?
Answer:1420
Explanation:
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
The promo code DISCOBUS will not be applicable to a single ticket. If he buys both the tickets in a single transaction to apply DISCOBUS
then the GoCash coins are not useful.
As we apply Cashback option for the first ticket, we have to pay less for the second ticket. Thus the coupons as G40 and FLAT 500
cannot be applied to the next ticket due to the Minimum Transaction criteria.
He should apply either the discount coupons to both the tickets or Cash coupons to the first ticket. These cases are possible:
1. SUMMER BUS on the first ticket and GOBABA25 on the second ticket.
Case 1:
SUMMER BUS on the first ticket will return 50% of Rs 1200 i.e. coins worth Rs 600 on the wallet.
GOBABA25 will give a 25% discount, thus he has to pay 75% of 600 i.e Rs 450.
Case 2:
GO40 on the first ticket will give a discount of 40%. i.e. 40% of Rs 1200 = Rs 480.
FLAT500 will give Rs 500 discount, thus he has to pay 1200-500= Rs 700
Question 59
Bala has to buy a total of 4 tickets such that each ticket cost Rs 1400 in the month of May, what is the minimum amount (rupees) he
has to pay?
Answer:3400
Explanation:
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
DISCOBUS: Cashback of 75% on the whole amount is of no avail as the GoCash will expire at the end of the month.
Case 1. DISCOBUS on 3 tickets and 1 ticket bought with the GoCash coins.
GoCash recieved= 75% of 4200= Rs 3150 or Rs 2000 (minimum value of the two)
The fourth ticket can be bought with the GoCash in the wallet.
Case 2. DISCOBUS on 2 tickets and 2 tickets bought with the GoCash coins.
GoCash recieved= 75% of 2800= Rs 2100 or Rs 2000 (minimum value of the two).
For the next two tickets total value of the ticket= 2* Rs1400= Rs 2800.
Question 60
Hari bought a ticket of x Rs such that he got the same discount on using the promo codes GO40 and GOBABA25. What is the value of
x?
A 4000
B 5000
C 6000
D 2000
Answer: A
Explanation:
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
x= Rs 4000
Vidya wanted 20 bus tickets each of Rs 200 if she wanted to buy the tickets in two transactions, what is the minimum amount she has
to pay if she had applied only one promo code?
A 2250
B 2350
C 2400
D 2500
Answer: B
Explanation:
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
Vidya applied only one promo code thus she should use DISCOBUS in order to maximise the discount.
Case 1
If she applied the coupon for 10 tickets, the transaction amount will be= 10*200= Rs2000
Case 2
If she applied the coupon for 11 tickets, the transaction amount will be= 11*200= Rs2200
Case 3
If she applied the coupon for 12 tickets, the transaction amount will be= 12*200= Rs2400

Anet is an electronic chip manufacturing company in India. The chip manufacturing is done in five production stages P, Q, R, S and T in
the sequence P-Q-R-S-T. Each stage of production takes one working day and the product from one stage to another can be transferred
only in the next day. The following table shows the number of chips that can processed in each day of the week in a certain production
plant.
If a production process is delivered more chips that it can handle, then the unfinished chips are processed in the next day.
Production unit P works to its full capacity on all days of the week with no chips pending processing. (All unfinished products on
Saturday is delivered to another production plant to be completed. ) Also on Monday, the number of chips fed to the different production
stages Q, R, S and T are 100, 300, 500 and 600 respectively.
Question 66
A 0
B 100
C 200
D none on these
Answer: C
Explanation:
Since the work of P is independent of other stages and P works to its full capacity on all days and all other units works on full capacity on
Monday, the starting point of production for each day is shown:
The capacity of Q on Tuesday is 300 but it is delivered only 200 units, thus 200 units will be processed by Q on Tuesday. The capacity of S
on Tuesday is 200 but it is delivered 300 units. So only 200 units are processed by S on Tuesday, the remaining 100 units would be
processed by S on Wednesday. In this manner, the number of processed and unprocessed chips can be calculated for each day. The
table for the processed chips is as shown:
A 1800
B 1900
C 2000
D 2100
Answer: A
Explanation:
Since the work of P is independent of other stages and P works to its full capacity on all days and all other units works on full capacity on
Monday, the starting point of production for each day is shown:
The capacity of Q on Tuesday is 300 but it is delivered only 200 units, thus 200 units will be processed by Q on Tuesday. The capacity of S
on Tuesday is 200 but it is delivered 300 units. So only 200 units are processed by S on Tuesday, the remaining 100 units would be
processed by S on Wednesday. In this manner, the number of processed and unprocessed chips can be calculated for each day. The
table for the processed chips is as shown:
The number of chips the plant manufactured is equal to the number of chips processed by T. Thus, from the table we can see that the
plant manufactures 1800 chips in a week.
Question 68
How many chips did not undergo any processing during Thursday ?
A 0
B 100
C 200
D 300
Answer: D
Explanation:
Since the work of P is independent of other stages and P works to its full capacity on all days and all other units works on full capacity on

Question 70
A 2
B 3
C 4
D cannot be determined
Answer: B
Explanation:
From the data given in the question we know that the number of electives V has with the other friends is 2,3 or 4. Thus, using information
from (v) we can conclude that V has either 2 elective with P and 3 elective with U or 3 elective with P and 4 elective with U. Also, using
information from (ii), (iii) and (iv) we can make the following table:
From the question, T has 2 electives common with only 1 friend. So, T-V = 4. Thus, V-U will be having only 3 electives in common => V-P
has only 2 elective in common.
It is given that U has same number of electives with V, P and Q. Since, V-U is 3, U-P and U-Q will also be 3. From, (i) P should have 2, 3 and
4 electives common with 2 friends each. Thus, P should have either 4 or 3 electives common with Q. As Q can only have 3 electives
common with 2 other people, Q and P must have 4 electives in common and P and R must have 3 electives in common. The table is as
follows:
If we observe column Q, he can take either 4 or 2 with S as he already has 3 electives common with 2 other people. Also, from row S we
can observe that S can take either 2 or 3 electives with Q. Thus, Q-S must have 2 electives in common. Thus, S-U must have 3 electives in

Instructions
A college had eight different clubs - Quiz club, Maths club, Physics club, English club, Chess club, MUN, Singing club and Dance club.
Each of these clubs had an election to elect the secretary of the clubs. The total votes in a club is equal to the total number of members
in the club. But some members needn't vote in the election and the actual number of votes cast is equal to the number of members who
voted.
Number of votes cast
The voting percentage equals Total Votes
The below graph gives the number of votes cast on the x-axis and the number of votes secured by the winning student in each club as a
percentage of the total votes(members) in that club. T
Question 74
How many clubs necessarily have more total number of votes than MUN, if it is given that the winning student in MUN secured the
lowest number of votes among all the eight winning candidates?
A 1
B 2
C 4
D 6
Answer: D
Explanation:
Let the number of members of MUN be x and of Maths club be a.
=> a > x
Thus, the number of members of Maths club is greater than that of MUN club.
Similarly, the winning students of the quiz club, maths club, english club, physics club, singing club and the dance club have less
percentage of votes than the winning student from MUN and still have more number of votes than him.
Question 75
The winning student from which of the following clubs had the highest number of votes if it is given that no club had a voting
percentage of less than 50% and the winning student from each club got maximum possible votes.
A Chess
B MUN
C Singing
D Dance
Answer: B
Explanation:
Here, we need to consider those clubs whose winning candidates have high percentage of votes.
Chess club - 275 votes => max votes = 275/0.5 = 550 votes => winning candidate secured 220 votes
MUN - 350 votes => max votes = 350/0.5 = 700 => winning candidate secured 245 votes
Singing club - 375 votes => max votes = 375/0.5 = 750 => winning candidate secured 206 votes
Dance club - 400 votes => max votes = 400/0.5 = 800 => winning candidate secured 200 votes
=> MUN candidate secured highest number of votes.
The secretary of which of the following clubs secured the highest number of votes?
A English
B Singing
C Dancing
D Cannot be determined
Answer: D
Explanation:
As the total number of votes in each of these clubs is not given and cannot be found, we cannot determine the club in which the winning
student secured the highest number of votes.
Hence, the answer is cannot be determined.
Question 77
If every club had at least 80% of voting percentage, then the maximum ratio of the total number of votes of dance club to total number
of votes of Maths club is equal to?
A 2
B 2.5
C 3
D 4
Answer: B
Explanation:
To get the maximum ratio, we need to maximize the numerator and minimize the denominator.
Let x% be the voting percentage of dance club and y% the voting percentage of the maths club. We know that 80% <= x% ,y% <=100%
For numerator to be max, x should be 80% and for denominator to be min, y should be 100%.

Read the following information carefully and answer the questions which follow.
In archery trials for selection into the national team, each participant is given 15 arrows and he has to shoot the target. A person can
either hit the target or miss it. The table given below gives the number of targets hit by different number of participants. For example,
there were 11 who missed the target in each of their 15 attempts. There were 6 people who hit the target only once and so on. Some of
the data in the table has been intentionally left blank.
It is known that the number of participants who hit 3 or more targets, hit 7 targets on an average.
It is also known that the number of participants who hit 12 or fewer targets, hit 6 targets on an average.
Question 78
What is the total number of people who participated in the archery trials?
Answer:194
Explanation:
Let us assume that the total number of times the target was hit is ‘x’ and the total number of people who participated in the trials is ‘y’.
Now, there are
y - 21 people who have hit 3 or more targets.
Hence, total number of targets that these people who have hit = (y - 21)*7
Thus, total number of times the target was hit by all the people taken together = 0*11 + 1*6 + 2*4 + (y - 21)*7 = 6 + 8 + 7y - 147
So we have,
7y - 133 = x
Now, we have also been given that the people who hit 12 or fewer targets, hit 6 targets on an average. Hence, we have
(y - 8)*6 + 13*4 + 14*3 + 15*1 = x
=> 6y - 48 + 52 + 42 + 15 = x
=> 6y + 61 = x
Solving the two equations, we get
y = 194
Hence, x = 1225
Thus, we can see that 194 people participated in the event.
How many times was the target hit during the event?
Answer:1225
Explanation:
Let us assume that the total number of times the target was hit is ‘x’ and the total number of people who participated in the trials is ‘y’.
Now, there are
y - 21 people who have hit 3 or more targets.
Hence, total number of targets that these people who have hit = (y - 21)*7
Thus, total number of times the target was hit by all the people taken together = 0*11 + 1*6 + 2*4 + (y - 21)*7 = 6 + 8 + 7y - 147
So we have,
7y - 133 = x
Now, we have also been given that the people who hit 12 or fewer targets, hit 6 targets on an average. Hence, we have
(y - 8)*6 + 13*4 + 14*3 + 15*1 = x
=> 6y - 48 + 52 + 42 + 15 = x
=> 6y + 61 = x
Downloaded from cracku.in
Solving the two equations, we get
y = 194
Hence, x = 1225
Thus, we can see that the target was hit a total of 1225 times.
Question 80
The participants who hit fewer than 4 targets are eliminated from the second round of the event and the number of people who hit
more than 12 targets have directly qualified for the third round. What is the median score among the people who participated in the first
round but not in second round?
A 13
B 12
C 3
D 2
Answer: C
Explanation:
The participants who hit fewer than 4 targets are the one with 0,1,2,3 targets hit (i.e 11,6,4,18) and the number of people who hit more
than 12 targets are the one with 13,14,15 target hits (i.e 4,3,1).
The number of people who participated in first round but not in second round = 11 + 6 + 4 + 18 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 47
Question 81
If the number of people who hit the target 4 times was 9 then what is the average number of targets hit by the people who hit between 5
to 12 targets (both included)?
A 9.34
B 7.33
C 8.17
D 7.83
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let us assume that the total number of times the target was hit is ‘x’ and the total number of people who participated in the trials is ‘y’.
Now, there are
y - 21 people who have hit 3 or more targets.
Hence, total number of targets that these people who have hit = (y - 21)*7
Thus, total number of times the target was hit by all the people taken together = 0*11 + 1*6 + 2*4 + (y - 21)*7 = 6 + 8 + 7y - 147
So we have,
7y - 133 = x
Now, we have also been given that the people who hit 12 or fewer targets, hit 6 targets on an average. Hence, we have
(y - 8)*6 + 13*4 + 14*3 + 15*1 = x
=> 6y - 48 + 52 + 42 + 15 = x
=> 6y + 61 = x
Solving the two equations, we get
y = 194
Hence, x = 1225
Now from the given distribution, we can see that the number of people who hit the target 5 to 12 times = 194 - 11 - 4 - 6 - 18 - 4 - 3 - 1 - 9 =
194 - 56 = 138
The total number of targets hit by these people will be = 1225 - 11*0 + 1*6 + 2*4 + 3*18 + 4*9 + 13*4 + 14*3 + 15*1 = 6 + 8 + 54 + 36 + 52
+ 42 + 15 = 1225 - 213 = 1012
Hence, the required average = 1012/138 = 7.33.

Let the proportion of commerce students be ‘k’
The proportion of science students is (0.8-k)
Let us consider the last column.
The total number of students of neither CFA nor FRM certification holders (i.e. 20% of total) constitutes 40% from engineering, 20% from
commerce and 10% from science.
=> 40% from engineering + 20% from commerce + 10% from science = 20% of total
=> (0.4)(0.2)+k(0.2)+(0.8-k)(0.1) = 0.2
=> k = 0.4
Therefore, the proportion of total applicants from science background is 0.4
We have the following table.
A = 2600-1200-800 = 600
=> B = 600+600+400-1000 = 600
C = 2000-1200+200-400 = 600
A 400
B 600
C 800
D Cannot be determined
Answer: B
Explanation:
It is given that 20% of the total applicants are from engineering background.
Therefore, the percentage of applicants from commerce and science backgrounds is 80%.
Let the proportion of commerce students be ‘k’
The proportion of science students is (0.8-k)
Let us consider the last column.
The total number of students of neither CFA nor FRM certification holders (i.e. 20% of total) constitutes 40% from engineering, 20% from

Instructions
Four friends Veena, Reena, Bablu and Babila, met after a very long time and told each other about the cars owned by them. They made
four statements each regarding the color, cost and brand of the car owned by each of them. It is known that atleast one among them is
truthteller who always speaks the truth, a liar who always lies and an alternator who alternates between truth and a lie starting with either
truth or a lie. Note that a friend can be none of these 3 and can say lie or truth in any order.
Each of them owns exactly one of the car brands among Renault, Volvo, BMW or Bentley. The colors of the cars are black, blue, red, violet
such that no two cars are of the same colour.
Reena:
1: Veena's car is 37 lakhs.
2: Colour of Bablu's car is neither Black nor blue.
3: Babila owns a red coloured car.
4: Bablu is a liar.
Bablu:
1: Only one among us has the same first letter of the colour of the car, the car brand and the name of the person who owns that car.
2: I own the most expensive car.
3: Blue coloured car is owned by Veena, which is not the cheapest.
4: Reena is a liar.
Veena:
1: When the price of any car is divided by 1 lakh, the digits are prime numbers when considered individually or together.
2: Bablu is an alternator.
3: Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator.
4: The price of Babila's car is 73 lakh.
Babila:
1: I own a red coloured car whose price is 23 lakh.
2: Sum of the price of my car and Veena's car is not 76 lakh.
3: The person whose first letter in their name, the car bran and the colour of their car is same is Bablu.
4: Veena is an alternator.
It is known that exactly one among them had the same starting letter in their name, car brand and the car colour.
The prices of the four cars are 23 lakhs, 37 lakhs, 53 lakhs and 73 lakhs in some order.
Question 86
A Bablu
B Reena
D Cannot be determined
Answer: A
Explanation:
Case 1:Let us consider Reena as Truthteller
Babila cannot be an alternator because her fourth statement is False, which means her first statement should be true but which is false.
Hence contradictory.
Question 87
A Reena
B Babila
C Veena
D Cannot be determined
Answer: D
Explanation:
Case 1:Let us consider Reena as Truthteller
Bibila's car is Red coloured.
Bablu's car is neither Black nor Blue: Red /Violet
Since Red is Babila's car, Bablu's car is violet coloured
Reena and Veena will own Black/Blue coloured car in any order, which will negate the condition that for one among them the colour of
the car, brand and name starts with the same letter.
Case 2:Let us consider Veena as Truthteller
When the prices are divided by 100000, possible values 2,3,5,7, and since the prices are a 7-digited prime number, Only possible values
are 23,37,53,73,97.
Bablu is an alternator.
Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator. So Babila can be either Liar/None.
Reena can be liar/Alternator/truthteller/none
Bablu's car price is not 7300000.
Bablu's first statement is true So if he is alternator the sequence of statements (T, F, T, F)
Bablu's car price can be 23/37/53.
Veena owns a blue coloured car which can be priced 37/53/73.
From Bablu's 4th statement, Reena cannot be a liar.
Since there has to be atleast one liar among them, Babila is the liar.
Let's consider Babila's statements.
2nd statement says Veena +Babila cars prices sums to 76 which is not possible.
Babila cannot be an alternator because her fourth statement is False, which means her first statement should be true but which is false.
Hence contradictory.
If Babila lies more number of times than she says the truth, then who owns the car of brand Volvo?
A Babila
B Bablu
C Reena
D Veena
Answer: B
Explanation:
Case 1:Let us consider Reena as Truthteller
Bibila's car is Red coloured.
Bablu's car is neither Black nor Blue: Red /Violet
Since Red is Babila's car, Bablu's car is violet coloured
Reena and Veena will own Black/Blue coloured car in any order, which will negate the condition that for one among them the colour of
the car, brand and name starts with the same letter.
Case 2:Let us consider Veena as Truthteller
When the prices are divided by 100000, possible values 2,3,5,7, and since the prices are a 7-digited prime number, Only possible values
are 23,37,53,73,97.
Bablu is an alternator.
Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator. So Babila can be either Liar/None.
Reena can be liar/Alternator/truthteller/none
Bablu's car price is not 7300000.
Bablu's first statement is true So if he is alternator the sequence of statements (T, F, T, F)
Bablu's car price can be 23/37/53.
Veena owns a blue coloured car which can be priced 37/53/73.
From Bablu's 4th statement, Reena cannot be a liar.
Since there has to be atleast one liar among them, Babila is the liar.
Let's consider Babila's statements.
2nd statement says Veena +Babila cars prices sums to 76 which is not possible.
Hence our initial consideration that Veena is truthteller is false.
Case 3:Lets consider Babila as truthteller.
Babila owns a red coloured car of price 23000000
Veena is an alternator who owns a car priced 53000000
If Veena is an alternator and her 1st statement is true so the sequence should be (T, F, T, F)
3rd statement says Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator which contradicts our assumption.
Case 4: Bablu is truthteller.
Bablu's car price is 7300000
Veena owns a Blue coloured car whose price may be 37/53 lakhs.
Reena is a liar.
From Reena's 1st statement, Veena's car price is 53 lakh.
Bablu's car is either Blue or black. Since Veena owns a Blue car, Bablu's car is Black.
Babila owns Violet coloured car. Reena owns Red coloured car.
Since Veena's first statement is true, the second statement is false, and the fourth statement is false Veena
Veena can be an alternator or none.
If Veena is an alternator.
Babila is None among them, i.e. her statements can be any order.
The following cases are possible.
Since Babila's first statement is false fourth statement is true.
So second third statements can be either (FT),(FF),(TT)
Babila cannot be an alternator because her fourth statement is False, which means her first statement should be true but which is false.
Hence contradictory.
Therefore Bablu is truthteller, Reena is a liar, Veena is an alternator and Babila does not belong to any category...
If Babila lies more number of times than she speaks the truth.
Then her second and third statements should be False. She lies 3 out of 4 times
Question 89
A Babila
B Reena
C Veena
D Cannot be determined
Answer: C
Explanation:
Case 1:Let us consider Reena as Truthteller
Babila cannot be an alternator because her fourth statement is False, which means her first statement should be true but which is false.
Hence contradictory.
Instructions
There are 4 consulting firms- A, B, C, D which came for recruitment in B-Schools. After interviewing, these students were finally selected
or rejected by these firms. 20% of these students were rejected by all 4 firms. A, B, C, D finally selected 230, 180, 180, 220 students
respectively. 30 people were selected by all the 4 firms and no student was selected by exactly three firms. If any two firms are chosen
out of the four and the students recruited by both of them are listed down, the number of common students is always equal to 50.
Question 90
What percentage of the students who are selected in A do not have offers from any other company?
A 59.67%
B 60.86%
C 54.23%
D 67.23%
Answer: B
Explanation:
It is given that 50 students are selected in each pair of firms. So 50 students must be selected by AB, AC, AD, BC, BD and CD.
Students selected in one more company other than A (i.e. AB, AC, AD) = 20+20+20 = 60.
Thus the number of students who have offer from only company A = 230 - 60 - 30 = 140.
A 50
B 100
C 120
D 150
Answer: D
Explanation:
Number of students selected by all 4 firms = 30
Number of students selected by 3 firms = 0
Number of students selected by each pair of 2 firms = 50
Question 92
A 600
B 500
C 450
D 420
Answer: C
Explanation:
Number of students selected by all 4 firms = 30
Number of students selected by 3 firms = 0
Number of students selected by each pair of 2 firms = 50
So, the number of students who were selected by exactly 2 firms for each pair = 50-0-30 = 20.
Students selected by only one firm = (230-20-20-20-30)+(180-20-20-20-30)+(180-20-20-20-30)+(220-20-20-20-30)
= 140+90+90+130 = 450
Question 93
What is the difference between the number of students having offer from only B and the number of students having offer from only C?
A 30
B 0
C 40
D 50
Answer: B
Explanation:
Number of students selected by all 4 firms = 30
Number of students selected by 3 firms = 0
Number of students selected by each pair of 2 firms = 50
So, the number of students who were selected by exactly 2 firms for each pair = 50-0-30 = 20.
Difference = 90 - 90 = 0

A1, A2.....G7 are individually called unit grid cells and the Box A will take 7 grid cells, whereas the Box E will take 9 grid cells of the Van.
On each box, the amount for the whole box charged by the company for the delivery is given.
Question 94
For which of the following box type, the cost per grid cell is the lowest?
A Box E
B Box C
C Box F
D Box D
Answer: B
Explanation:
The amount charged by the company per square unit grid for the box:
Thus F is the costliest option per unit grid cell, while C is the cheapest delivery option.
Question 95
Klipkart, a customer of the delivery service, has a huge number of orders to be delivered. Thus, for each type of boxes, a separate Van
delivered the parcels. What is the difference between the amount charged for a Van full of Box F to a Van full of Box A?
A Rs 100
B Rs 40
C Rs 80
D Rs 50
Answer: B
Explanation:
The boxes can be arranged as:
Thus the amount charged for the van full of box A = 7*200=Rs 1400
Thus the amount charged for the van full of box F = 24*60=Rs 1440
Difference= Rs 40
Option B

Following floor plan is the cheapest possible arrangement for the boxes:
Option A.
Which of the following two types of boxes can make a combination to fill the grid completely?
Explanation:
Option A: Box B and Box C
Any combination of B and C will be a multiple of 3 and the number of grids is 49(not a multiple of 3).
Any combination of D and C will be a multiple of 2 and the number of grids is 49(not a multiple of 2).
Any combination of B and C will be a multiple of 2 and the number of grids is 49(not a multiple of 2).
Instructions
In an 8 X 8 chessboard, the following rules are obeyed for Queen and Knight.
Queen can move to a box in the same row, or in the same column or in any diagonal position in any possible 4 directions, provided there
is no other piece in between in the path from the queen to that box.
Knights move in an “L-shape”, they can move two squares in any direction vertically followed by one square horizontally, or two squares in
any direction horizontally followed by one square vertically. The knight is the only piece in the game of chess that can “jump over” other
pieces, regardless of whether those pieces are black or white.
Queen and knight can attack other pieces which are placed in the boxes where they can reach.
The columns are labelled a to h (left to right) and the rows are numbered 1 to 8 (bottom to top).
The position of a piece is given by the combination of column and row labels. For example, position d4 means that the piece is in d th
column and 4th row.
Question 98
Suppose a queen and a knight are placed on a chessboard if the queen is paced at e4 in how many squares the knight can place such
that both of them are safe from attack?
A 33
B 35
C 29
D 28
Answer: D
Explanation:
Thus,
From the diagram, we can see that the number of positions that are safe 28. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Question 99
A Queen is placed at B7, what is the maximum number of knights we can place in the chessboard, such that they cannot attack each
other, neither they can be attacked by the queen?
A 12
B 20
C 16
D 24
Answer: D
Explanation:
A Knight at a white box can attack only grey boxes as given below. Similarly, a knight at a grey box can attack only white boxes.
If we place Queen at b7 then most of the boxes covered by the queen will be white, hence we can position knight at grey boxes.
If three queens are placed at B5, E8 and F5. What is the maximum number of knights we can place on the board such that they can
attack atleast one queen?
A 10
B 13
D 15
Answer: B
Explanation:
