Clearly, U’s age cannot be determined.
11. Ans. A.
N is only shorter to two persons. R is
taller to P but shorter to M. M is 162cm.
Q is 170cm. So Q is taller to M. Q is not
the tallest person in the group.
So we get-
O>Q(170)>N>M(162)>R>P
O is the tallest person.
Hence, option A is the correct response.
12. Ans. C.
N is only shorter to two persons. R is
taller to P but shorter to M. M is 162cm.
Q is 170cm. So Q is taller to M. Q is not
the tallest person in the group.
So we get-
O>Q(170)>N>M(162)>R>P
N’s height must be between 162-170 so
its 165cm.
Hence, option C.
13. Ans. D.
N is only shorter to two persons. R is
taller to P but shorter to M. M is 162cm.
Q is 170cm. So Q is taller to M. Q is not
the tallest person in the group.
So we get-
O>Q(170)>N>M(162)>R>P
P is the shortest person.
Hence, option D.
14. Ans. C.
1. Wallet W has more money than wallet
T but less than wallet R.
R>W>T
2. Only wallet Y has more money than
wallet E.
Y>E>R>W>T
3. Wallet T does not have the least
amount of money. Therefore, Q has the
least amount of money.
Y>E>R>W>T>Q
4. Wallet R contains Rs. 4000 and wallet
T contains Rs. 3000.
15. Ans. D.
1. Wallet W has more money than wallet
T but less than wallet R.
R>W>T
2. Only wallet Y has more money than
wallet E.
Y>E>R>W>T

Y>E>R>W>T>Q
4. Wallet R contains Rs. 4000 and wallet
T contains Rs. 3000.
16. Ans. A.
According to the clues, we get
>Q> M> P; C, P> D and > N
Merging the clues, we get
C>Q>M>P>D>N
C is the heaviest of them all.
17. Ans. E.
According to the clues, we get
>Q> M> P; C, P> D and > N
Merging the clues, we get
C>Q>M>P>D>N
We can determine the individual weights
of P and D. Weight of N should be less
than 30 kg which is not mentioned in the
given options.
18. Ans. A.
According to the clues, we get
>Q> M> P; C, P> D and > N
Merging the clues, we get
C>Q>M>P>D>N
19. Ans. C.
According to the clues, we get
>Q> M> P; C, P> D and > N
Merging the clues, we get
C>Q>M>P>D>N
C is heavier than Q. So, C is 110 kg.
20. Ans. A.
According to the clues, we get
>Q> M> P; C, P> D and > N
Merging the clues, we get
C>Q>M>P>D>N
