Each statement alone is not sufficient as there is no information about all the persons By combining I and III, the possible arrangements are, (i)V V X W 7 (i)Z W X Y V V is sitting at the end. By combining II and Ill, the possible arrangements are, (i)V X W Z (ii)Y 7 W X (iti)Y X W Z (iv)V Z W X VS sitting at the end end By combining I and II, the possible cases are, XIV Y/X XIV YIX V can sit either at the end or at the second or at the fourth position. Only Ill and either I or liars sufficient. Choice (5) Each statement alone is not sufficient, as there is no information regarding the floor B. By combining all the statements the possible cases are as shown below, (i) A (ii) B (iv) A (iv) S

Solutions for Reasoning In step VI, the gap between the elements is as follows 97, 76. tin, fog, 33 (3) (2) (1)(0) Choice (3)

2 2 2 2 2 2 8 8

'till tin top vote sweat kind sent' is the respective order of only words in step IV. Choice (4)

Hence B is either odd or even floor. All together are also not sufficient. Choice (5)

In step III, '33' is the second number after '74' and '97' is the second number after '83'. Similarly, '83' is the second number after '42'. Choice (3)

From I alone, code for 'world' can be 'Ia' or 'ca. I alone is not sufficient. By combining I and II, the code for 'world' can be 'Ia' or 'ca'. By combining land Ill, the code for world' is 'Ia', I and Ill together are sufficient Choice (3).

Position of the word 'top' in step IV is ninth from the right. Choice (3) Solutions for questions 18 to 21:

25, Statements I and Ill alone are not sufficient, as there is no information regarding K and M together. By combining II and Ill, the path can be represented as shown below.

By comparing (t) and (ui). the code for 'have' is 'vit' By comparing (i) and (ii), the code for 'tea' can be 'nt' or 'bit' and the code for 'coffee' can be 'bit' or 'nit'. By observing (i). the code for 'and' is 'hit'. By comparing (ii). (iii) and (iv). the code for 'take' can be 'nit' or 'sit' and the code for 'not' can be 'sit' or 'nit'. By comparing (ii) and (iii), the code for 'but' is 'dit'. By comparing (iv) and (v), the code for 'do' can be 'zit or 'wit and the code for 'water' can be 'wit' or 'zit' Hence the code for 'you' is 'pit'.

Given, M's father K sits third to the left of K's daughter L. L is two places away from D's brother N N can sit second to the left of L or second to the right of L D's brother N is not adjacent to any male. Hence, N sits second to the right of L. M's son B sits opposite 0, who is a female, As N is not adjacent to any male, we place B only to the immediate left of L. 0 is opposite B. L's mother A sits two places away from L's only brother M. We can place M either to the immediate left of K or to the immediate left of B. But it is given that M is not opposite any female Hence M should sit to the immediate right of K. M's wife C sits second to the left of D. The final arrangement is as shown below.

Who is the cousin of B? (1) M (2) C's son (3) L's daughter (4) A (5) None of these Who sits second to the left of C's son? (1) M's wife (2) 0 (3) K (4) C's husband (5) N's grandmother
