13. How many persons are sitting between B and D,if they are on the same side of the table? Solutions(16-20)

“F, sitting at chair number 1, is diagonally opposite to C who is sitting opposite to D.”, from this question it is clear that C and D are at seat numbers 7 and 6 respectively. And K is the only person between C and J while A is opposite to K. Hence A,K and J must be at seat numbers 5,8 and 9 respectively. Then there are two possibilities. Possibility 1. G or H H or G

Logic of rearrangements: In step 1 the word which comes first in alphabetic order rearranges first.

Conclusions: i.R#A,ii. V@A,iii. R$M a) b) c) d) e)

In step2 highest number gets rearranged and occupies the place after word rearranged in step1. These two steps get repeated alternately. Thus in last step, all words get arranged in alphabetic order and numbered get arranged in descending order. If any word or number is already arranged , then next number/word is rearranged. 27.(c),28.(a),29.(d),30.(b) Direction(Qs. 31-35) : In the following questions, the symbols %, *, @, $ and # are used with the following meaning as illustrated below : ‘P @ Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q
