So,lutions
Q.1) Answer- C
As per the given information, we know the possibilities for some of them and can
add them to a table. Given that at least one Apple owner, Microsoft owner and
Nokia owner belong to each of the three fandoms, and exactly two Microsoft
mobile owners belong to the Harry Potter fandom. We know that Bishu, Jeetu and
Kusha own Microsoft mobiles. Since Jeetu is from the Star Wars fandom, Bishu has
to be from Marvel or Harry Potter fandoms. Either Chela or Gowri is part of the
same fandom as Faren. Since Gowri is part of the Harry Potter fandom, Chela must
be from the same fandom as Faren, which is that of Marvel. Since both Faren and
Lekha are from the Marvel fandom and own Nokia mobiles, Chela must own either
an Apple or Microsoft phone. Also, we know that two Microsoft users are Harry
Potter fans and two Nokia users are Marvel fans, so there must be exactly two
Apple users who are Star Wars fans. This is only possible if Ekshu uses an Apple
mobile and is a Star Wars fan. The combinations so far are as follows.
Name Fandom Mobile
Akhil Marvel/Star Wars Nokia/Microsoft
Bishu Marvel/Harry Potter Microsoft
Chela Marvel Apple/Microsoft
Dalal Marvel/Harry Potter
Ekshu Star Wars Apple
Faren Marvel Nokia
Gowri Harry Potter
Hamsa Harry Potter Apple
Ishan Star Wars Apple
Jeetu Star Wars Microsoft
Kusha Marvel/Harry Potter Microsoft
Lekha Marvel Nokia

Since there can be four persons from each fandom, the only other person who can
be from the Star Wars fandom is Akhil. Since both Dalal and Kusha are from the
same fandom, this is only possible if they are from the Harry Potter fandom. Since
we now have four persons from the Harry Potter fandom, Bishu has to be from the
Marvel fandom. This leaves the person from the Star Wars fandom using a Nokia
mobile to be Akhil, and Chela has to be using an Apple mobile since all other
fandoms are covered by Apple users as per the requirement. So, Dalal and Gowri
have to be using either Nokia or Microsoft mobiles. The final sets of combinations
are as follows.
Name Fandom Mobile
Akhil Star Wars Nokia
Bishu Marvel Microsoft
Chela Marvel Apple
Dalal Harry Potter Microsoft/Nokia
Ekshu Star Wars Apple
Faren Marvel Nokia
Gowri Harry Potter Nokia/Microsoft
Hamsa Harry Potter Apple
Ishan Star Wars Apple
Jeetu Star Wars Microsoft
Kusha Harry Potter Microsoft
Lekha Marvel Nokia
Chela owns an Apple mobile and belongs to the Marvel fandom.

Either Chela or Gowri is part of the same fandom as Faren. Since Gowri is part of

Nokia mobiles, Chela must own either an Apple or Microsoft phone. Also, we know

Q.23) Answer- A
As per the given information, Girija read thrice as many non-fictions as the person
who read eight fictions. Girija must have read 12 non-fiction books since it needs
to be a multiple of three. Dishani has read at least one non-fiction book and
cannot have read eight non-fiction books, since she likes poetry, and we know that
the person who has read eight non-fiction books does not like poetry. So, Dishani
must have read 2 or 4 non-fiction books. Madhavi has read half as many non-
fiction books as one other person, which can only be 2 or 4 based on the available
options. Girija has read four non-fictions more than Bharani, so Bharani must have
read 8 non-fiction books, which means Sunaina has read 0 non-fiction books. We
can now say that Bharani is the third person who does not like poetry. We now
have the below combinations based on the given information.

Bharani 8 No
Girija 12 Yes
Sunaina 0 No
The person who has read two fictions has not read any non-fictions, so Sunaina

fiction books. Bharani has read four fiction books more than Girija has, which is
only possible if Bharani has read 12 or 16 fiction books, and Girija has read 8 or 12
fiction books. Madhavi has read half as many fictions as another person, so this
number can only be 8. Based on this, Girija has read 12 fiction books and Bharani
has read 16 fiction books, which leaves Dishani to have read 10 fiction books.
Madhavi has read half as many non-fictions as read by the person who has read
twice as many fictions as she has, which is Bharani, so Madhavi must have read 4
fiction books and Dishani has read 2 fiction books.

Q.29) Answer- D
If Kaushal watches the movie on the first day of the week, which is Monday,
Parineeti must have first watched the movie on Tuesday or Wednesday, since
there must be three days between her first and second viewing. Trisha watches
the movie just once, after Kaushal watches the movie with a gap of two days in
between, so Trisha must have watched the movie on Thursday. Ritika watches the
movie exactly once, on the day immediately before or after the day that Parineeta
first watches the movie Ritika watches the movie exactly once, on the day
immediately before or after the day that Parineeta first watches the movie, so it
has to be on Tuesday or Wednesday based on the day of Parineeta’s first viewing.
Sarita may watch the movie either on Friday or Saturday, based on when Parineeta
watched the movie for the second time. The remaining day will be a no show day
since none of them watch the movie on that day.
The final schedule is as follows.

three persons, Parineeta, Ritika and Kaushal may watch the movie on the first day
of the week. Below are the possibilities for each day of the week.

Monday Parineeta(1), Ritika, Kaushal
Tuesday Parineeta(1), Ritika, Kaushal

Saturday Sarita, Parineeta(2), Trisha
Sunday Parineeta(2), Trisha
Among the given options, Trisha does not watch the movie on the first day of the

Q.31) Answer- D
Since Ritika watches the movie immediately before or after Parineeta, the first and
third options are not valid. Also, since Trisha watches the movie just once, after
Kaushal watches the movie with a gap of two days in between, the second option
is not valid. So, only the fourth option is valid.

watches the movie with a gap of two days in between, so Kaushal may watch the
movie at most on Thursday, which gives a gap of 2 days before Trisha watches it.

Q.33) Answer- D
If Kaushal watches the movie after Parineeta, he may watch the movie at most on
Thursday, which gives a gap of 2 days before Trisha watches it. In this case, the
maximum number of days between him and Parineeta first watching the movie is
two, since Parineeta may watch the movie on Monday, the first day of the week.
If Kaushal watched the movie before Parineeta, he may watch the movie at the
earliest on Monday. Since Parineeta watches the movie twice, it can happen at the
most on Saturday and Sunday, which means she first watches the movie on
Saturday. This means there can be a maximum of four days between them
watching the movie.
The schedule based on these conditions is as follows.
Day Person
Monday Kaushal
Tuesday No show
Wednesday Sarita
Thursday Trisha
Friday Ritika
Saturday Parineeta(1)
Sunday Parineeta(2)
Based on this schedule, four days are present between when Kaushal and
Parineeta first watch the movie.

Q.34) Answer- E
Given that Kaushal watches the movie on Wednesday, Trisha must watch the
movie on Saturday. Since Parineeta and Ritika watch the movie on consecutive
days, it has to be on the first two days of the week. There can be only three days
between the two times that Parineeta watches the movie, which is possible if
Parineeta watches the movie on Monday and Ritika watches it on Tuesday, which
means Parineeta watches the movie for the second time on Friday. Since Sarita
must watch the movie before Parineeta’s second time, it has to be on Thursday.
The schedule based on these conditions is as follows.
Day Person
Monday Parineeta(1)
Tuesday Ritika
Wednesday Kaushal
Thursday Sarita
Friday Parineeta(2)
Saturday Trisha
Sunday No show
Based on the given information, Sarita watches the movie on Thursday.

Q.35) Answer- C
If Trisha watches the movie on Friday, Kaushal must watch it on Tuesday, since
there has to be a gap of three days between them. Parineeta cannot watch the
movie on Monday since the second viewing falls on the same day that Trisha
watches the movie. So, Parineeta first watches the movie on Wednesday and then
watches it for the second time on Sunday. Since Ritika has to watch it immediately
before or after Parineeta’s first viewing, it has to be on Thursday.
The final schedule based on the given conditions is as follows.

Day Person
Monday No show/Sarita
Tuesday Kaushal
Wednesday Parineeta(1)
Thursday Ritika
Friday Trisha
Saturday Sarita/No show
Sunday Parineeta(2)
So, two different scheduling arrangements are possible based on when Sarita
watches the movie.

Q.36) Answer- D
Given that Trisha watches the movie on the last day of the week, which is Sunday,
and Wednesday is the no show day. Kaushal has to watch the movie on Thursday
since there needs to be a gap of two days between when Kaushal and Trisha watch
the movie. Since Sarita has to watch the movie before Parineeta watches it for the
second time, Parineeta’s second viewing has to be on Saturday, and Sarita watches
the movie on Friday. Based on this, Parineeta first watches the movie on Tuesday,
which means Ritika watches the movie on Monday.
The final schedule based on these conditions is as follows.
Day Person
Monday Ritika
Tuesday Parineeta(1)
Wednesday No show
Thursday Kaushal
Friday Sarita
Saturday Parineeta(2)

Clearly, Sarita watches the movie on Friday.

Q.37) Answer- E
Considering the Saturday shifts, there are two main possibilities - either she works
as a Waitress on Saturday or some other day.
If she works as a Waitress on Saturday morning, she will have to work as a Driver
on Saturday afternoon. She surely works as a Nanny on Wednesday and Friday
mornings. Her third shift as a Nanny can be either on Monday or Tuesday morning.
Accordingly, she works as a Driver on either Monday or Tuesday morning,
depending on which day she doesn’t work as a Nanny. She works at the Library for
exactly two consecutive afternoon shifts, so it can be on any two consecutive
afternoons from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Based on this, she works as a
Driver on the remaining three afternoon shifts.
If she does not work as a Waitress on Saturday, the only difference would be that
she would work as a Driver on Saturday morning instead, and as a Waitress on
Monday or Tuesday morning depending on when she is not working as a Nanny
during those two days.
Given that she does not work at the Library or the Nanny job on Saturdays. So, she
may only work at the Driver and Waitressing jobs on Saturday morning and
afternoons.
By the process of elimination, we can find which of the statements can be true.
In option (a), we know that she works as a Nanny on three morning shifts, and as a
Waitress for one morning shift. So, there will be a clash if she has to work at both
jobs on the same day, which is not possible. Hence, this statement is not true.
In option (b), she definitely has to work as a Librarian on the afternoons of
Monday and Tuesday, or Tuesday and Wednesday. So, she cannot be working as a
Driver in the afternoon shift on Tuesday. Hence, this statement is not true.
In option (c), it is not necessarily true that she may not work on the same day as
both Librarian and Waitress as seen in the below schedule. Hence, this statement
is not necessarily true.

As per the given information, the following are the combinations.

20 members - 30 properties
House 75 - 10 members
The family in House no. 72 consists of double the number of family members as
those in the family who have 10 properties, which is House no. 73 that has 15
family members. So, House no. 72 must have 30 family members. The Bakshi
family lives two houses after the Sharma family, who live two houses after the
Chawla family, taking the house numbers in ascending order. So, the Chawla,
Sharma and Bakshi families live in houses 71, 73 and 75, or in houses 72, 74 and 76
respectively. The family in House no. 74 cannot contain the combination of 20
members and 30 properties, since it is given that the number of properties is more

So, the Iyer family must be residing at House no. 72 and the Joshi family at House
no. 76. For the sum of the Iyer family and the members at House no. 76 to be 50,
the Joshi family must have 20 members. Since we know that the family with 20
members owns 30 properties, it has to be the Joshi family. This leaves the Iyer
family with as many properties as the number of members in the Joshi family,
which is 20. The final set of combinations are as follows.

Q.47) Answer- D
As per the given information, the following are the combinations.
House 73 - 15 members - 10 properties
20 members - 30 properties
House 75 - 10 members
The family in House no. 72 consists of double the number of family members as
those in the family who have 10 properties, which is House no. 73 that has 15
family members. So, House no. 72 must have 30 family members. The Bakshi
family lives two houses after the Sharma family, who live two houses after the
Chawla family, taking the house numbers in ascending order. So, the Chawla,
Sharma and Bakshi families live in houses 71, 73 and 75, or in houses 72, 74 and 76
respectively. The family in House no. 74 cannot contain the combination of 20
members and 30 properties, since it is given that the number of properties is more
than four times the number of members in that family.
