So, as per the given question, the Badminton player is accompanied by her mother

Trish is traveling by Vistara with her father and is not from Pune. Therefore, Trish
cannot be placed in the 1st row because it is taken by Priya, she cannot be placed
in the 2nd row because she is not from Pune, she cannot be placed in the 3rd row as
she does not travel with SpiceJet and she cannot be placed be in the final row as
she travels with Father. Hence, we can fill the 4th row, now.

Rudra is traveling by GoAir, but not with her mother. Therefore, she cannot be

is for SpiceJet, the 4th one is for Vistara, and the 5th is for player traveling with
mother. Hence, Rudra can be placed in the 2nd row only.

Vijaya does not play either Hockey, Squash, or Baseball. Therefore, she can play
either Archery or Badminton, but since Trish plays Archery, Vijaya can only play
Badminton. The remaining slot can be taken by Smitha.

Smitha SpiceJet Father
Vijaya Mother Badminton
The player from Bhubaneswar, who is not Trish, is traveling with her mother.
Therefore, it has to be Vijaya as only one player is travelling with her mother.
The Hockey player is traveling by IndiGo, and as 3 of the Airline slots are full, Indigo
can be placed in either the 1st row or 5th row, but the 5th row is for the badminton
player, hence we can fill the 1st row.
Analytical Puzzles
The Baseball player is from Kanpur, and therefore, it can only be placed in the 3rd
row as the 2nd row is for the player from Pune. This also concludes that Rudra plays
Squash, which is the only remaining game and Vijaya travels by Air India, which is
the only remaining Airline.

Neither Fred nor Betty is a Banker, Ethel is a Geologist, Cheryl is a Paralegal, and
Dilton is the Judge which means that Archie is the Banker. Also, it is given that the
Teacher visits the gym on Saturday and Fred does not visit the gym on Saturday,
which means Fred is the Manager and Betty is the teacher.

Next, we have that Archie is assisted by Reggie, but doesn’t visit the gym on Friday,
Thursday, or Saturday. The Teacher visits the gym on Saturday. The Manager and
Judge work out with Reggie and Kevin respectively. Cheryl visits the gym on
Tuesday and works out with Greta.
We also know that Reggie and Sabrina assist exactly two people each and the

Sabrina.

buying Grapes, which means L has an Apple mobile, it also implies that V has
Lenovo mobile as that is the only pending brand.

other data. P likes Lucifer, and is married to S, who likes Money Heist. Either of P
and S could be Male or Female. So, we have one couple.
R is an unmarried female and likes Dexter.
M likes American Gangster, V likes Teen Wolf. L does not like Euphoria, which
means L likes Supernatural and J likes Euphoria.
So now among the 7 members, we know one married couple and one unmarried
female (R), so the only remaining female who has to be married is V (since there
are 2 couples and a total of exactly 3 females).
It is given that J, V, and M are siblings. Therefore, this implies that V is married to
L.

Exactly two of them are in role A, two in role B, two in role C, one in role D, and
one in role E.
No two employees with the same role have joined in the same department.
Reddy, has joined the Finance department in role B, and Goel has joined Marketing
in role A.
Singh’s role is B, Bakshi’s role is C, Chadha’s role is E.
Jha, whose role is C, has joined the Operations department and Arora, whose role
is A, has joined the Finance department, where only one other new employee has
joined, which means no one except Arora and Reddy has joined Finance.
Now, the only role remaining for Iyer is D.
Last name Gender Department Role
Arora Finance A
Bakshi C
Chadha E
Reddy Finance B
Iyer D
Jha Operations C
Goel Marketing A
Singh B
The maximum number of new employees joining the Marketing department
cannot exceed 3. So, there will be 3 Marketing and 3 Operations employees. It is
given that Singh and Bakshi have joined the same department, which is not
operations, which means Singh and Bakshi have joined Marketing, whereas
Chaddha and Iyer have joined Operations.

So, we have:
Arora Finance A
Bakshi Marketing C
Chadha Operations E
Reddy Finance B
Iyer Operations D

Q.31) Answer- D
There are 4 Males and 4 Females.
No two members of the same family votes for the same place.
At least one person each of either gender votes for each of the holiday spots.
K is from the Sharma family and votes for Tahiti, W is the wife of K, whose
daughter is V.
Therefore, K, W and V are from Sharma family, also, K is Male, W and V are
females.
It is also given that K votes for Tahiti and V votes for Paris, so W can only vote for
Maldives.

P is the wife of T and they vote for Maldives and Paris respectively.
M is the son of Z, whose husband is R, and they are from the Kapoor family.
Therefore, M and R are males and Z is a female.
Also, P and T have to be from Mathur Family.

Now, there are 2 Males and 1 Female yet to vote, So, Z being a female can only
vote for Tahiti.
Also, it is known that R and W do not vote for the same holiday spot. Therefore, R
should vote for Paris and M should vote for Maldives.

Sharan chooses Strawberry flavour, but his bicycle is not Blue or Red in colour. So,
he can have Brown, Violet, or Lime coloured cycle.
The Violet cycle belongs to Mahesh and the child who chooses Butterscotch has a
Lime coloured bicycle, so Sharan can only have Brown cycle.
Anmol and Nashit do not choose Butterscotch flavour, so Roshan and Mahesh can
choose it, but Mahesh has Violet cycle and the child who chooses Butterscotch
should have a Lime coloured cycle.
Therefore, only Roshan can choose Butterscotch flavour.
Name Flavour Cycle colour
Anmol
Roshan Butterscotch Lime
Sharan Strawberry Brown
Mahesh Violet
Nashit
Now, we only know that Mahesh does not choose Vanilla so he can choose either
Mango or Chocolate. Therefore, due to unavailability of conclusive data, the
choices of Anmol, Mahesh, and Nashit can be noted as follows.
Anmol Vanilla/Chocolate/Mango Blue/Red
Mahesh Mango/Chocolate Violet

As we can see in the passage, information is provided in a very confusing manner.
So, we will try to match all data with student names in one table and in another
table, we will match sport and city with each other.
• Penny, who is from Miami, is the only one among them to join the Baseball
team.
• The student from Honolulu does not join the Soccer team and is not in the
same team as Vanessa or Amber. This means that student from Honolulu
joins either Hockey or Cricket team. Also, either Vanessa or Amber definitely
joins the Soccer team.
• Jeffrey joins the Cricket team along with the student from Rochester.
• Samuel joined the Hockey team, and Amber is not from Rochester.
• The student from Honolulu joins the same team as the student from
Glendale. This means they can only join Hockey, as student from Rochester is
joining cricket for sure and maximum two students can join in the same
team.
• The student from Portland joins the Cricket team. Hence, Jeffrey is definitely
from Portland.
• The student from Austin joins the Soccer team, but neither Vanessa nor
Jeffrey are on the same team as him. This means that Vanessa does not join
Soccer and as the student from Honolulu joins Hockey, Vanessa does not join
Hockey as well. So, Vanessa can only join the Cricket team and he has to be
from Rochester as Jeffrey is from Portland.
• The student from Boston joins the same team as Victor.
Analytical Puzzles
As we can see in the 2nd table, the only city left is Boston, so the student from
Boston joins the soccer team along with the student from Austin.
Victor is not from Honolulu. Thus, he does not join Hockey. Therefore, Rick joins
the Hockey team.
Victor joins the Soccer team, He is not from Boston, so he has to be from Austin
and Amber has to be from Boston.
