7 In a row, Vishal’s is at the 9th position from the front and Sunil 21 24 23 22 20 4
is at the 7th position from the back. There are 6 students Total no. of students standing in the row =no. of students ahead
standing between Vishal and Sunil. So, what is the total of vishal+vishal+6 students in between+sunil+No. of students
number of students in the row? behind Sunil.

9 from the start and twelth from the end. How many student are students
there in both the rows together? Total no. of students = 21 + 17 = 38 students

(Q10 to Q12) Following questions are based on the given five numbers which contain three digits.

328 642 836 697 954

10 What will be the resultant if the digit at hundreds place of the 4 2 1 6 5 2 Second highest no.= 836 , required digit = 8
second highest number is divided by the digit at unit's place of Highest number = 954; required digit =4
the highest number. Resultant = 8/4 = 2
11 If all the digits in each of the number are arranged in 954 836` 642 326 679 3 After doing this process we get numbers are as follow:-
descending order within the number, which of the following will 832,642,863,976,954
form the lowest number in the new arrangement of numbers. So the lowest number is 642

12 One is subtracted from the digit at hunderds place and two is 4 3 2 5 1 2 After doing the procedure, the new numbers formed are
subtracted from digit at units place of each of the numbers. 226,540,734,595,852
What will be the difference between the digit at hundreds Highest no. = 852 ; digit at hundreds place = 8
place of the highest number and the digit at units place of the Lowest no. = 226; digit at units place = 6
lowest number? Difference = 8 – 6 = 2

Six lectures A,B,C,D,E and F are to be organised in a span of
7 days - from Sunday to Saturday, only 1 lecture on each day
in accordance with the following:
i) A should not be organised on Thursday and E should not be
organised on Monday.
ii) C should be organised immediately after F.
iii) There should be a gap of 2 days between E and D including
a no lecture day
iv) One day there will be no lecture (Friday is not that day), just
before that day D will be organised.
v) B should be organised on Tuesday and should not be
followed or preceed by D.
The table drawn from the information given. B is organised on Tuesday. Now D cannot be held on Monday or
Wednesday (Neither follow nor preceed Tuesday.D cannot be
held on thursday as Friday has to be no lecture day which is not
possible. D cannot be organised on Friday because then E has

D No lecture B E F C A on thursday because then there will be no lectures on Friday
which is not possible. Further,D cannot held on Saturday then E
has to be held on Tuesday which is already scheduled for B.
Hence D can be held only on Sunday. E can be held on
Wednesday. Now , C should be orgnaised immediately after F.
So F will be held on Thursday and C on Friday. A will be held on
Saturday. A cannot be held on thursday. Based on this deduction
