Here, we will make a mental note of information that Box R was not the
lightest.

Reference:
Box R was placed above the shelf on which Box U was placed but not on the
even numbered shelf.

Box P, contained 20 kg of Sugar, and was placed either at the top or bottom
shelf.

Inference:

At this point we cannot use the above hints in case 2 so we can say
that case 2 is an invalid case.

Case 1:

Floor Box Weight


8 P 20 Kg
7 R
6 T 10 Kg
5 U 25 Kg
4
3
2
1 S

Reference:

Box Q was placed immediately below the box which contained 8 kg of Sugar
and immediately above the box which contained 2 kg of Sugar.

Inference:

Here, we have two possible scenarios in which we can use the above hints
in case 1 accordingly.

Case 1-A:

Floor Box Weight


8 P 20 Kg
7 R
6 T 10 Kg
5 U 25 Kg
4
3 8 Kg
2 Q
1 S 2 Kg

Case 1-B:

Floor Box Weight


8 P 20 Kg
7 R
6 T 10 Kg
5 U 25 Kg
4 8 Kg
3 Q
2 2 Kg
1 S

Reference:

Box V was placed at one of the even numbered shelves and contained 17 kg
of Sugar.

Inference:

At this point we cannot fix the position of box V according to the above
hints in case 1-B so we can say that case 1-B is an invalid case.

Case 1-A:

Floor Box Weight


8 P 20 Kg
7 R
6 T 10 Kg
5 U 25 Kg
4 V 17 Kg
3 8 Kg
2 Q
1 S 2 Kg

As we have already figured out that box R was not the lightest so we can
say that box R contained 5 Kg of Sugar and box Q contained 1 Kg of Sugar.

Case 1-A:

Floor Box Weight


8 P 20 Kg
7 R 5 Kg
6 T 10 Kg
5 U 25 Kg
4 V 17 Kg
3 W 8 Kg
2 Q 1 Kg
1 S 2 Kg

Answers:

6.

Following the final solution we can say that

Three boxes were placed above the box which contained 25 Kg of Sugar.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

7.

Following the final solution we can say that

Box Q contained 1 Kg of Sugar.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

8.

Following the final solution we can say that


Four boxes were placed between the box which contained 5 kg of Sugar
and the box which contained 1 kg of Sugar.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

9.

Following the final solution we can say that four boxes 2 – Q – 1 Kg is the
correct combination.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

10.

Following the final solution we can say that

Box T is the one that does not belong to the group because of all the boxers
given in the options Box T is the only one which contained even (10 kg)
amount of Sugar.

Hence, the correct answer is option E.

Set-5

Common Explanation for Q. no. 21 to 25:

Reference:

Six envelopes – A, B, C, X, Y, and Z are placed one above another, each


containing different number of pages – 20, 29, 36, 43, 56 and 60 (but not
necessarily in the same order) and envelopes were containingnotes of
different subjects – Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English, Hindi, and
Computer (but not necessarily in the same order).

Inference:

We will keep this information in mind while solving the puzzle.

Reference:

Only three envelopes are placed between envelopes A and X, which has
odd number of pages.

At least two envelopes are placed below A, which has odd number of
pages.

The envelope which is placed just above X has notes of Hindi.

Inference:

At this point there are two possible scenarios in which the above hints can
be used accordingly.

Case 1:

Envelope Notes Pages


A

Hindi
X

Case 2:

Envelope Notes Pages

Hindi
X

Here, we will make a mental note that both envelopes A and X have odd
number of pages.

Reference:

Only one envelope is placed between X and B, which has notes of


Chemistry.

Envelope Y has notes of Physics and isn’t place adjacent to envelope B, but
placed one of the envelopes above envelope B.

Inference:

At this point we cannot use the second hint in case 1 so we can say
that case 1 is an invalid case.

Case 2:

Envelope Notes Pages


Y Physics
A

B Chemistry
Hindi
X
Reference:

The envelope which is placed at top has 17 pages more than envelope X.

Envelope Z has notes of the subject which is not Hindi.

Inference:

As we already know that both envelopes A and X have odd number of


pages and with the information we can draw following conclusions:

Conclusion 1:

Pages in envelope X + 17 = Pages in envelope Y

Now, we have two possible scenarios in which envelope X can have odd
number of pages.

Scenario 1:

Envelope X has 29 pages.

This means, pages in envelope Y = 29 + 17 = 46 (from conclusion 1)

It is not possible because none of the envelopes has 46 pages.

Scenario 1:

Envelope X has 43 pages.

This means, pages in envelope Y = 43 + 17 = 60 (from conclusion 1)

It might be possible.

Case 2:

Envelope Notes Pages


Y Physics 60
A 29
Z
B Chemistry
Hindi
X 43

Here, we can say that envelope C has notes of Hindi.

Reference:

Envelope which has notes of English has 36 pages.

Envelope X has notes of the subject which is not Computer and envelope C
doesn’t have 56 pages.

Inference:
Using the above hints case 2 can be redrawn as:

Case 2:

Envelope Notes Pages


Y Physics 60
A Computer 29
Z English 36
B Chemistry 56
C Hindi
X 43

At this we can say that envelope X has notes of Mathematics and envelope
C has 20 pages.

Case 2:

Envelope Notes Pages


Y Physics 60
A Computer 29
Z English 36
B Chemistry 56
C Hindi 20
X Mathematics 43
Answers:

21.

Following the final solution we can say that the envelope which least
number of pages has notes of Hindi.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

22.

Following the final solution we can say that of all the given options Y is the
only envelope which has 56 pages.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

23.

Following the final solution we can say that of envelope which has notes of
Chemistry has 56 pages.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

24.

Following the final solution we can say that the pages in envelopes A and Z
are 29 and 36 respectively.

Required Sum = 29 + 36 = 65

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

25.

In the following common explanation it is clear the envelope C has least


composite number of pages.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.


Set-6

Common Explanation for Q. no. 26 to 30:

Reference:

There are six friends namely Arnav, Ayaan, Reyansh, Dhruv, Krishna and
Ishaan.

Each of them is having different years of work experience among 3, 4, 6, 8,


11 and 12 but not necessarily in the same order.

Reyansh, who works in Microsoft, has 4 years experience more than that of
Ayaan.

Dhruv, who works in Google, has 1 year experience more than that of
Arnav.

Inference:

From above statements,

o Reyansh’s experience = Ayaan’s experience + 4 years

o Among given numbers there are two possibilities i.e. (4, 8) or (8, 12)

o Reyansh’s experience = 8 years and Ayaan’s experience = 4


years [OR] Reyansh’s experience = 12 years and Ayaan’s experience =
8 years.

o Reyansh works in Microsoft and Dhruv works in Google.

o Dhruv’s experience = Arnav’s experience + 1 years

o Case: 1, Dhruv’s experience = 12 years and Arnav’s experience = 11


years (Only possibility)
o Case: 2, Dhruv’s experience = 4 years and Arnav’s experience = 3
years (Only possibility)

By using above information, we get the initial table as follows,

Case: 1 Case: 2
Person MNC Experience Person MNC Experience
Arnav 11 Arnav 3
Ayaan 4 Ayaan 8
Reyansh Microsoft 8 Reyansh Microsoft 12
Dhruv Google 12 Dhruv Google 4
Krishna Krishna
Ishaan Ishaan

Reference:

The difference between the number of years in experience of the person


who works in HCL and Ishaan, who works in CTS, is 2.

Krishna works in Infosys Company.

The person who works in TCS has experience of at most 10 years.

Inference:

From above statements,

o Ishaan works in CTS and Krishna works in Infosys.

o Given condition,

Difference = [Person who works in HCL – Ishaan] or [Ishaan- Person who


works in HCL] = 2

o Case: 1 Remaining years left for case-1 is 3 and 6 years. So as per


case-1 table, Ayaan works in HCL with 4 years experience and Ishaan
works in CTS with 6 years experience. By this given condition
satisfied. Also, Krishna has 3 years experience in Infosys. Finally,
Arnav should work in CTS with 11 years experience which is not
possible. Hence case-1 can be eliminated as shown in table.

Note: The person who works in TCS has experience of maximum 10 years
(not exceed 10 years).

o Case: 2 Remaining years left for case-2 is 6 and 11 years. So as per


case-2 table, Ayaan works in HCL with 8 years experience and Ishaan
works in CTS with 6 years experience. By this given condition
satisfied [Difference = {Ayaan (HCL)} – {Ishaan (CTS)} = 8 – 6 =
2years].

o Now as per condition, Arnav work in TCS with 3 years experience


(Maximum 10, but it can be below 10 years)

o Finally, Krishna works in Infosys with 11 years experience. Thus we


get the completed case as shown in table.

Case: 1 [Eliminated]
Case: 2
Arnav/TCS-Maximum 10 years
Person MNC Experience Person MNC Experience
Arnav TCS 11 Arnav TCS 3
Ayaan HCL 4 Ayaan HCL 8
Reyansh Microsoft 8 Reyansh Microsoft 12
Dhruv Google 12 Dhruv Google 4
Krishna Infosys 3 Krishna Infosys 11
Ishaan CTS 6 Ishaan CTS 6

Answers:

26.

The following common explanation, we get "Arnav-TCS-3 years”.

Hence, option A is correct.

27.
The following common explanation, we get "Reyansh-Microsoft-12 years”.

Hence, option C is correct.

28.

The following common explanation, we get "Ayaan-8 & Arnav-3”, Sum = 8 +


3 = 11 years.

Hence, option C is correct.

29.

In the following explanation it is clear that Ayaan works in HCL.

Hence, option D is correct.

30.

In the following common explanation it is clear that Krishna has 11 years of


experience.

Hence, option C is correct.

Umesh and Mahid are travelling on the same date, but none of them is
travelling to Assam.

Inference:

From above statements,

Only Kushal is travelling to Haryana. Here, No other person is travelling to


Haryana.

Sanjay and Umesh are travelling in the same state and Sanjay & Umesh are
not travelling to either Goa or Bihar.

Rajesh is travelling to Assam.Given, neither Prem nor Wifaq is travelling to


the same city as Rajesh. Therefore both Prem and Wifaq are not travelling
to Assam and also they are not travelling to Bihar which is given in the
statement.

Wifaq does not travel to Punjab.


Umesh and Mahid are travelling on the same date and they are not
travelling to Assam.

Now, if we observe Umesh, he is not travelling to Goa, Bihar & Assam. No


other one is travelling to Haryana except Kushal. Then, Umesh must travel
to Punjab (only possibility). Therefore Sanjay also travels to Punjab (Note:
Sanjay and Umesh are travelling in the same state)

Similarly, if we observe Wifaq, he is not travelling to Assam, Bihar and


Punjab. No other one is travelling to Haryana except Kushal. Then, Wifaq
must travel to Goa (only possibility)

All the above information is directly given; by using this we get the initial
table as follows,

Umesh and Xagar are travelling on the same date.

Umesh and Mahid are travelling on the same date.

Kushal and Sanjay does not travel on the same date.

Kushal and Zyva are travelling on the same date.


No one is travelling to Assam and Punjab on 11th of the month.

Only four persons are travelling on 13th of the month.

Inference:

From above statements,

Sanjay is travelling on 17th of the month (not travelled on 11th and 13th)

Umesh is travelling on 13th of the month (Xagar travelled on 13th)

Mahid is travelling on 13th of the month (Umesh travelled on 13th)

Sanjay is travelling on 17th of the month. Then, Kushal and Zyva not
travelled on 17th.

We know Xagar is travelling on 13th of the month. Thus, Umesh, Mahid and
Xagar are travelling on 13th.

Kushal and Zyva are travelling on the same date. If Kushal and Zyva
travelled on 13th of the month, then totally 5 people travelling on 13th of
the month which is not possible (Maximum is 4).

Therefore, Kushal and Zyva are travelling on 11th of the month.

No one is travelling to Assam and Punjab on 11th of the month.Here,


Kushal and Zyva are not travelling to Assam and Punjab.

By using above information, we get the following table as shown below,

No one is travelling to Assam and Punjab on 11th of the month.

Inference:

From above statements,

Out of 10 persons, 4 of them travelling on 13th of the month (given), 3 of


them travelling on 11th of the month (given) and then remaining 3 should
travel on 17th of the month.

Wifaq and Prem are travelling on the same date. If we observe the table,
the only possibility is, Wifaq and Prem should travel on 17th of the month
as per above condition.

At least one person is travelling to Goa on each date. Maximum 3 persons


can go to the same state. Then each date one person is going to Goa.

We know, Wifaq going to Goa on 17th and then no one going to Goa on
17th of the month. Thus, Prem (17th) is not going to Goa and also Prem is
not travelling to Assam and Bihar. No other one is travelling to Haryana
except Kushal. Therefore, Prem is travelling to Punjab.
Prem (17th) and Rajesh are travelling on the different date. The one who is
travelling to Assam is not travel on 11th. Therefore Rajesh is travelling to
Assam on 13th of the month.

Set-8

Common Explanation for Q. no. 36 to 40:

Reference:
Box N’s serial number is 21 and placed in the lowermost rack.

Two boxes are placed between the boxes having the serial number 21 and
34.

Box J is placed in the seventh rack and Box H is placed adjacent to Box J.

Box J is White colored.

Box H is placed in the even numbered rack above fourth and it is placed
adjacent to box which has serial number as 31.

Box J’s serial number is not 27.

Inference:
From above statements,

First 2 statements can be directly filled in the table as shown.

Box J is White colored and it is placed in the 7th rack (Reference: points 3 &
4)

Box H can be placed either 8th or 6th floor (above 4th floor & adjacent to
7th floor). Thus we get two possibilities (Reference: points 3 & 5)

Case-1: Box H is placed in the 8th rack and Box J’s serial number is 31 as per
statement.

Case-2: Box H is placed in the 6th rack and either Box J’s serial number is 31
or the box which is placed in 5th rack is serial numbered as 31 as per
statement.

Note: Box J’s serial number is not 27.

By using above information, we get the following table as shown,


Case-1
Rack Box Color Serial Number
8 Box H
7 Box J White 31
6
5
4 34
3
2
1 Box N 21

Case-2
Rack Box Color Serial Number
8
7 Box J White 31
6 Box H
5 31
4 34
3
2
1 Box N 21

Reference:

Maximum numbers of boxes are placed between the Brown colored box
and Orange colored box.

Box L is Green colored and it is placed adjacent to the Orange colored box.

Box H is not Brown colored.

Inference:

From above statements,

With respect to the 1st Reference: point, Brown and Orange colored box is
placed in topmost and lowermost rack (not necessarily in the same order).
By this 6 boxes (maximum possibility) can be placed between Brown and
Orange colored box.

We know, Box J is White colored and it is placed in the 7th rack. So Orange
colored box can’t be place at 8th rack since Orange colored box is placed
adjacent to Green colored box (Box L). Therefore Brown colored box is
placed at 8th rack (topmost) and Orange colored box is placed at 1st rack
(lowermost) i.e. Box N as per table in both cases (Reference: point 2)

Box L is Green colored and it is placed in 2nd rack in both cases (Reference:
point 2)

By using 3rd Reference: point Case-1 gets eliminated since Box H is not
Brown colored.

Set-12

Common Explanation for Q. no. 56 to 60:

Reference:

Five dance teams – T-1, T-2, T-3, T-4 and T-5 and each one from a different
country are participating in a dance competition.

This team performs consecutively one after the other in the competition.

Duration of performance of each team is different and the total duration of


the performances is 10 hours.

Inference:

We will keep this information in mind while solving the puzzle.

Reference:

Team India’s performance starts at 11:00 AM, which is not the first
performance.

The second performance starts at either 10:00 am or 11: 30 am.


The last performance is of 3 hours duration.

Inference:

Using the above hints we can say that third performance must start at
11:00 AM because it is given that the performance that starts at 11:00 AM
is not the first performance and second performance starts at either 10:00
AM or 11:30 AM.

Number Timings Team Country Duration

2 10:00 AM 1 hour
3 11:00 AM India
4
5 3 hours
Reference:

Team from Italy does not give 1st and 2nd performance.

T-5 is a team from USA, who performs immediately before China.

Inference:

At this point there are two possible scenarios in which we can use the
above hints accordingly.

Case 1:

Number Timings Team Country Duration


1 T-5 USA
2 10:00 AM China 1 hour
3 11:00 AM India
4 Italy
5 3 hours

Case 2:
Number Timings Team Country Duration
1 T-5 USA
2 10:00 AM China 1 hour
3 11:00 AM India
4
5 Italy 3 hours

Reference:

One of the performances starts at 1:30 pm, which is not of Japan.


Duration of Japan performance is double the duration of Italy performance,
which is given by neither T-2 nor T-4.

The minimum duration of any performance is 1 hour.

Inference:
At this point we use the above hints in case 2 without contradicting these
conditions. So, we can say that case 2 is an invalid case.

Case 1:
Number Timings Team Country Duration
1 T-5 USA
2 10:00 AM China 1 hour
3 11:00 AM India 2.5 hours
4 01:30 PM Italy 1.5 hours
5 03:00 PM Japan 3 hours

Here, we will make a mental note that teams – T-2 and T-4 did not belongs
to Italy.

Reference:

T-2, which is not from India, gives the performance, immediately after T-3.
Third performance is not given by T-1.

Inference:

Using the above hints we find the countries from which teams T-2, T-3 and
T-1 belong.

Case 1:

Number Timings Team Country Duration


1 T-5 USA
2 10:00 AM T-1 China 1 hour
3 11:00 AM India 2.5 hours
4 01:30 PM T-3 Italy 1.5 hours
5 03:00 PM T-2 Japan 3 hours

Here, the total duration for which T-1, Team from India, T-3 and T-2
performed = (1 + 2.5 + 1.5 + 3) hours = 8 hours

And we know that total duration of all performances was 10 hours.


So, duration of the performance by T-5 = (10 – 8) hours = 2 hours

Case 1:

Number Timings Team Country Duration


1 08:00 AM T-5 USA 2 hours
2 10:00 AM T-1 China 1 hour
3 11:00 AM T-4 India 2.5 hours
4 01:30 PM T-3 Italy 1.5 hours
5 03:00 PM T-2 Japan 3 hours

Answers:

56.

Following the final solution we can say that team T-4 belongs to India.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

57.

Following the final solution we can say that the duration of the
performances which are given between the performances of T-5 and T-2
are 1 hour, 2.5 hours and 1.5 hours.

Required Sum = 1 hour + 2.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 5 hours

Hence, the correct answer is option E.

58.

Following the final solution we can say that team T-3 gave the 4th
performance.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

59.

Following the final solution we can say that duration of performance of


team China is 1 hour.

Given, F & G difference < 50 Possible values of G are 263, 277, 266
(Prime number) G’s registration and 366
number is not 317.
If G = 263 & F = 313
If G = 266 & F = 313 F – G = 313 – 263 = 50 (not a prime
F – G = 313 – 266 = 47(It is a number)

Hence it is possible. If G = 277 & F = 313


Given condition satisfied F – G = 313 – 277 = 36(not a prime
number)
Hence it is rejected

If G = 266 & F = 313


F – G = 313 – 266 = 47(It is a prime
number, < 50)
Hence it is possible

If G = 366 & F = 313


G-F = 366-313 = 53 (It is a prime
number,
but more than 50, Hence it is not
possible)

We know B = 174, G = 266


Given E = Even number
Even numbers among given are
E’s registration number = 366
174, 266 & 366
Then E’s registration number is
366

We know, B = 174, G = 266, F = Let us check possibilities

Set-16

Common Explanation for Q. no. 76 to 80:

Reference:

Six friends Pant, Quan, Raah, Saaz, Taju and Udey are having different
chocolates among Cadbury, Five Star, Kit Kat, Munch, Perk and Temptation
but not necessarily in the same order.

All friends like different colors among Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Red and
White but not necessarily in the same order. A person can have only one
brand of chocolates.

Raah has Five-Star chocolate and its cost is Rs.10 and he doesn’t like White
color.

Udey likes Green color.

Quan did not have Cadbury or Munch chocolate. Quan doesn’t have Perk.

Taju has a chocolate which costs Rs.20.

Pant has Kit Kat chocolate which costs Rs.25 and he likes Blue color.

Inference:

From above statements,

o All the above information is given directly, so we get the initial table
as follows,

Friends Color Chocolate Price (Rs.)


Pant Blue Kit Kat 25
Quan Cadbury/Munch/Perk
Raah White Five Star 10
Saaz
Taju 20
Udey Green
Reference:

The cost of each chocolate is multiple of 5 in Rupees and no two chocolates


have same price.

The cost of chocolate that Saaz has is less than that of Five-Star chocolate.

The costliest chocolate is Perk and its cost is thrice the cost of Five-Star
chocolate.

The cost of Cadbury chocolate is 10 Rupees less than the cost of Perk
chocolate.

Inference:

From above statements,

o The cost of Five-Star chocolate is Rs.10 and Saaz has chocolate which
costs less than Rs.10. Then only possible costs is Rs.5 (multiple of 5
<10). Therefore Saaz has 5 rupees chocolate.

o Given, Perk chocolate cost = 3 (cost of Five-Star chocolate), & cost


of Five-Star chocolate is Rs.10. Then, cost of Perk chocolate is Rs.30
[3 × 10 =30] which is costliest among six.

o The cost of Perk chocolate is Rs.30, then cost of Cadbury chocolate


is Rs.20 (10 less than Perk). Therefore Taju has Cadbury chocolate.

o Quan doesn’t have Cadbury/Munch/Perk, then he must have


Temptation chocolate (only possibility)

Thus we get the following table, Note: Price can be filled based on other
statements

Friends Color Chocolate Price (Rs.)


Pant Blue Kit Kat 25
Quan Temptation
Raah White Five Star 10
Saaz 5
Taju Cadbury 20
Udey Green

Reference:

The one who likes Pink color has Temptation chocolate.

The one person who likes Black color has Munch chocolate.

One of the persons has a chocolate which costs thrice the amount of the
one who likes Back color.

Inference:

From above statements,

o Udey has Perk chocolate and its cost is Rs.30 (only possibility)

o Quan has Temptation chocolate and he likes Pink color.

o Therefore as per table, Saaz has Munch chocolate and he likes Black
color.

o Saaz like Black and his chocolate cost is Rs.5 & its thrice amount is
Rs.15 (3 × 5 =15)

o Then the cost of Temptation chocolate is Rs.15.

o Raah doesn’t like white color and then he must like Red color.

o Finally, Taju like white color and we get the final completed table as
follows,

Friends Color Chocolate Price (Rs.)


Pant Blue Kit Kat 25
Quan Pink Temptation 15
Raah Red Five Star 10
Saaz Black Munch 5
Taju White Cadbury 20

Set-18

Common Explanation for Q. no. 86 to 90:

Reference:

Not more than 3 persons got less remuneration than Teenu.

Tani got less Remuneration than Teenu.

Remuneration of Tani and Teenu together was equal to the Remuneration


of Tanu.

Inference:

As we already know that different amount as remuneration (In Rs.) viz.

1000, 2400, 2600, 3600, 4000, 5000, 9000 and 10000.

So the possible amounts of remuneration of Teenu are 3600, 2600 or 2400.

From the last hint we can say that, Remunerations of Tani + Teenu =
Remuneration of Tanu.

So, the only possible combination is 2600 + 2400 = 5000, one of the
amounts given.

Thus it is clear that Remunerations of Tani, Teenu and Tanu are Rs. 2400,
Rs. 2600 and Rs. 5000 respectively.

Remuneration
Person
(In Rs.)
10000
9000
5000 Tanu
4000
3600
2600 Teenu
2400 Tani
1000
Reference:

Remuneration of Tanu, Tani and Teenu together were equal to Tisha.

Inference:

This means that remuneration of Tisha is 2600+2400+5000 = 10000

Remuneration
Person
(In Rs.)
10000 Tisha
9000
5000 Tanu
4000
3600
2600 Teenu
2400 Tani
1000

Reference:

Remuneration of Teetu and Tanu together were equal to Teena.

Inference:

We already know remuneration of Tanu as Rs. 5000 and as per the


available amounts i.e. 1000, 3600,4000 and 9000.

Only 5000 + 4000 makes such combination where remuneration of two


persons is equal to the remuneration of the remuneration of third person.

So, remuneration of Teetu and Teena is Rs. 4000 and 9000 respectively.

Remuneration
Person
(In Rs.)
10000 Tisha
9000 Teena
5000 Tanu
4000 Teetu
3600
2600 Teenu
2400 Tani
1000

Reference:

Remuneration of Tiya was more than Tisca.

Inference:

Clearly remuneration of Tisca and Tiya are-(Rs.)1000 and 3600 respectively.

Remuneration
Person
(In Rs.)
10000 Tisha
9000 Teena
5000 Tanu
4000 Teetu
3600 Tiya
2600 Teenu
2400 Tani
1000 Tisca

Answers:

86.

From the following explanation it is clear that remuneration of Tisha and


Teetu are Rs. 10000 and 4000 respectively.

So the required difference is Rs. 6000.

Hence option B is the correct answer.

87.
From the following explanation it is clear that

Option D "Teetu - Tani" is the odd one out, as the difference between the
remuneration of the persons in other four pairs is more than 2000, whereas
in option D, such difference is only 1600 i.e. less than 2000.

Hence option D is the correct answer.

88.

From the following explanation it is clear that all the given statements are
true with respect to the puzzle.

Hence option E is the correct answer.

89.

From the following explanation it is clear that only four persons get
remuneration less than Titu.

Hence option D is the correct answer.

90.

From the following explanation it is clear that Tisha is the highest earner.

Hence option C is the correct answer.


Set-19

Common Explanation for Q. no. 91 to 95:

Reference:

Dwayne Bravo lives on lowermost floor.

The person who likes to play cricket in Bhubaneswar lives immediately


above Dwayne Bravo who likes to play cricket in Bangalore.

There is a gap of three floors between one who likes to play cricket in Delhi
and the one who likes to play cricket in Bhubaneswar.

The player who likes to play cricket in Bhubaneswar is immediate neighbor


of the player who likes to play cricket in Pune.

There is no gap between the players who likes to play cricket in Mumbai
and the one who likes to play cricket in Pune.

There is one floor between the one who likes to play cricket in Delhi and
the one who likes to play cricket in Mumbai.

Player Ambati Rayudu lives on even numbered floor above the floor
number three.

Two players live between Ambati Rayudu and Evin Lewis.

Inference:

All the above statements are given directly, so simply we can fill into the
table as shown below,

o Dwayne Bravo lives on lowermost floor & likes to play cricket in


Bangalore.

o The one who likes to play cricket in Delhi lives on 6th floor.

o The one who likes to play cricket in Pune lives on 3rd floor.
o The one who likes to play cricket in Mumbai lives on 4th floor.

o Player Ambati Rayudu lives on either 4th, 6th or 8th floor (3


possibilities)

Based on above information, we get four following cases,

Case:1 Case:2 (A)


Floors Player City Floors Player

Reference:

The number of players between Ambati Rayudu and Evin Lewis is same as
between the number of players between Dwayne Bravo and Colin Munro.
The number of players above Harbajan Singh is same as below the player
who likes to play cricket in Kolkata. Harbajan Singh lives on even numbered
floor.

Brendon Mccullum who likes to play cricket in Chennai lives one of the
floors above the one who likes to play cricket in Kolkata.

Inference:

From above statements,

 The number of players between Ambati Rayudu and Evin Lewis is two.
Therefore the number of players between Dwayne Bravo and Colin
Munro must be two. [Case 1 gets eliminated, since not satisfied with this
condition]

 So Colin Munro lives on 4th floor (all cases)

 In case 2(A), Harbajan Singh lives on 2nd floor (even number) and the one
who likes to play cricket in Kolkata lives on 8th floor [Above & Below
having 7 players each]. Brendon Mccullum who likes to play cricket in
Chennai lives on 9th floor.

 In case 2(B), Harbajan Singh lives on 2nd floor (even number) and the one
who likes to play cricket in Kolkata lives on 8th floor [Above & Below
having 7 players each]. But no floor left for Brendon Mccullum who likes
to play cricket in Chennai must live one of the floors above
Kolkata. [Here 9th floor occupied by Evin Lewis. So this can be
eliminated]

 In case 3, Harbajan Singh lives on 2nd floor (even number) and the one
who likes to play cricket in Kolkata lives on 8th floor [Above & Below
having 7 players each]. Brendon Mccullum who likes to play cricket in
Chennai lives on 9th floor. Thus we get the following tables as,

Note: Only Case (2A) and Case 3 are left to follow,

Reference:

Player Faf-duplessis and Player Imran Tahir are immediate neighbors in


floors.

Neither Faf-duplessis nor Imran Tahir likes Delhi to play cricket.


Inference:

From above statements,

o In case 2(A), Player Faf-duplessis and Player Imran Tahir lives


on either 7th or 8th floor.

o Case 3 gets eliminated, since Player Faf-duplessis and Player Imran


Tahir are not likes to play cricket in Delhi.

Thus we get only one case (2A), as follows

Reference:
Player Ambati Rayudu is immediate neighbor of Gautam Gambhir who did
not live on topmost floor.

The player who likes to play cricket in Trivandrum lives on odd numbered
floor.

Inference:

From above statements,

o Gautam Gambhir is an immediate neighbor of Ambati Rayudu & lives


on 5th floor.

o The player one who likes to play cricket in Trivandrum lives on (odd
numbered floor) either 5th or 7th floor.

o Finally, the player one who likes to play cricket in Ahmadabad lives

The person who has the third highest annual income lives on the fifth floor.

The person whose bachelor degree is BA lives on the top floor.

The person whose bachelor degree is BTC lives on the seventh floor.

The person who has an annual income of 6 Lakhs has BE as bachelor degree
and lives on the third floor.

The person whose annual income is highest lives on first floor.

Inference:

Here, we can use the above hints easily and can create a following table:

Floor Person Degree Income


8 BA
7 BTC

5 8 Lakhs
4
3 BE 6 Lakhs
2
1 10 Lakhs

Reference:

Usha is the wife of Jaya and she has only one child.

The person whose bachelor degree is BBA is an unmarried brother of Jaya.

Hari is the sister-in-law of Jaya.

Deep is the mother of Jaya.


Inference:

Using the given hints we can create a following blood chart:

Here, we will make a mental note an information that brother of Jaya is


unmarried and have BBA as bachelor degree.

Reference:

Sony is the father of Ravi, who is the uncle of Ashu.

Ashu’s grandmother has only one brother.

All of them belong to the same family and there is only two married couple
among them.

Inference:

Using the given hints the above blood chart can be redrawn as:

At this point we can easily complete the blood tree by establishing Moni as
the brother of Deep.

The final blood chart is:


Initially, we have a hint that brother of Jaya is unmarried and have BBA as
bachelor degree so now we can say that Ravi has BBA as bachelor degree.

Reference:

Usha’s father-in-law has an annual income of 7 Lakhs and lives on the sixth
floor.

Ashu’s grandmother has an annual income of 8 Lakhs and Ashu’s uncle has
the second highest annual income.

The one whose annual income is third lowest lives between Usha and
Ashu’s grandmother.

Inference:

As we have already figured out that Sony is the father in law of Usha, Deep
is the grandmother of Ashu and, Ravi is the uncle of Ashu and has BBA as
bachelor degree this means annual income of Ravi is 9 Lakhs.

Floor Person Degree Income

2 Ravi BBA 9 Lakhs
1 10 Lakhs

Reference:

Jaya’s child and the one whose bachelor degree is BSM live on an even-
numbered floor.

The person whose bachelor degree is BCA lives on an even-number floor.


Ashu does not have BCA as bachelor degree.

The person who has sixth lowest annual income does not have LLB as
bachelor degree.

Inference:

Considering the blood chart we can say that Jaya’s child is Ashu and Deep
has second lowest annual income.
Floor Person Degree Income

8 Moni BA 3 Lakhs

7 Hari BTC 4 Lakhs

6 Sony BCA 7 Lakhs

5 Deep 8 Lakhs

4 Ashu BSM 5 Lakhs

3 Usha BE 6 Lakhs

2 Ravi BBA 9 Lakhs

1 LLB 10 Lakhs

At this point we can complete table by the fixing the position of Jaya on
first floor and assigning the BHM as the bachelor degree of Deep.

Floor Person Degree Income

8 Moni BA 3 Lakhs

7 Hari BTC 4 Lakhs

6 Sony BCA 7 Lakhs

5 Deep BHM 8 Lakhs

4 Ashu BSM 5 Lakhs

3 Usha BE 6 Lakhs

2 Ravi BBA 9 Lakhs

1 Jaya LLB 10 Lakhs


Answers:

96.

Following the final solution we can say that the one whose annual income is
7 Lakhs i.e. Sony is the one that does not belong to the group because of all
the persons in the given options Sony is the only person whose annual
income figure is an odd number. Hence, the correct answer is option D.

97.

Following the final solution we can say that the one whose bachelor degree
is LLB is Jaya and the wife of Jaya is Usha, and the annual income of Usha is
6 Lakhs.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

98.

Following the final solution we can say that the one who has BTC as
bachelor degree i.e. Hari is Aunt of the one who has third lowest annual
income i.e. Ashu.

Hence, the correct answer is option E.

99.

Following the final solution we can say that the one who lives on topmost
floor is Moni whose annual income is 3 lakhs and the one who is the
husband of Usha is Jaya whose annual income is 10 lakhs.

Required Difference = (10 – 3) Lakhs = 7 Lakhs

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

100.

Following the final solution we can say that the income of the persons who
have BHM and BSM as their degree respectively are 8 lakhs and 5 lakhs.
Now the total income = 8 + 5 = 13.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.


Set-21

Common Explanation for Q. no. 101 to 105:

Reference:

Five friends Paramesh, Quasim, Raghu, Sachin and Tanveer have different
number of shirts with them.

The number of shirts is in consecutive odd numbers starting from five, but
not necessarily in the same order.

The average number of shirts with Quasim, Raghu and Tanveer is same as
the number of shirts with one of the five friends.

Paramesh has lesser number of shirts than Raghu.

Both Quasim and Sachin have higher number of shirts than Tanveer.

Inference:

From given statements, the number of shirts with them is5, 7, 9, 11 and 13
(consecutive odd number)

o The average number of Shirts with Quasim, Raghu and Tanveer is


same as the number of shirts with one of them among five
friends. [So, the possible sets are (5, 7, 9), (5, 9, 13), (7, 9, 11), (9, 11,
13) but not necessarily in the same order.

o Given: Paramesh has lesser number of Shirts than


Raghu. [Therefore Set (5, 7, 9) is not possible. Note: Here the least
number is 5]

o Given:Both Quasim and Sachin have higher number of Shirts than


Tanveer. [Therefore Set (9, 11, 13) is not possible, since Sachin has
more shirts than Tanveer].

By using the above information, [Only possible sets are (7, 9, 11) & (5, 9,
13)]
A. Case: 1 If the number of Shirts with Quasim, Raghu and Tanveer is
(7, 9, 11), but not necessarily in the same order and Both Quasim &
Sachin have more shirts than Tanveer. So the possible combinations
are as follows

Note: Paramesh has lesser number of Shirts than Raghu

Case (1-A) Case (1-B) Case (1-C)


Names
No. of Shirts No. of Shirts No. of Shirts
Paramesh 5 5 5
Quasim 11 11 9
Raghu 7 9 11
Sachin 13 13 13
Tanveer 9 7 7

B. Case: 2 If the number of Shirts with Quasim, Raghu and Tanveer is (5,
9, 13), but not necessarily in the same order and Both Quasim &
Sachin have more shirts than Tanveer. So the possible combinations
are as follows

Note: Paramesh has lesser number of Shirts than Raghu

Case (2-A) Case (2-B) Case (2-C)


Names
No. of Shirts No. of Shirts No. of Shirts
Paramesh 7 7 11
Quasim 13 9 9
Raghu 9 13 13
Sachin 11 11 7
Tanveer 5 5 5

Reference:

The absolute difference in the number of shirts with Paramesh and Quasim
is equal to the absolute difference in the number of shirts with Raghu and
Sachin.
The sum of number of shirts with Paramesh and Raghu is more than that of
with Tanveer and Sachin.

Inference:

From given statements,

A. Given,Difference (Paramesh & Quasim) = Difference (Raghu & Sachin)

B. Given,) Sum ( Paramesh +Raghu) > Sum (Tanveer +Sachin)

Let us check above conditions one by one in each of the following cases
(total 6 cases)

o For condition A, Case (1-A), Difference (Paramesh -5 & Quasim -11) = 11


-5 = 6. But Difference ( Raghu-7 & Sachin-13) = 13-7 = 6 [satisfied]

o For condition B, Case (1-A), Sum (Paramesh-5 & Raghu-7) = 5 + 7 = 12


and Sum (Tanveer-9 & Sachin-13) = 9 + 13 = 22. So 12 not greater than
22. [Not satisfied]

Similarly check the conditions (A& B) with all cases (1-A, B, C) as follows,

Case (1-A) Case (1-B) Case (1-C)


[Eliminated] [Eliminated] [Eliminated]
Names Condition B not Condition A & B Condition A & B
satisfied not satisfied not satisfied
No. of Shirts No. of Shirts No. of Shirts
Paramesh 5 5 5
Quasim 11 11 9
Raghu 7 9 11
Sachin 13 13 13
Tanveer 9 7 7

Similarly check the conditions (A& B) with all cases (2-A, B, C) as follows,
Case (2-A) Case (2-C)
Case (2-B)
[Eliminated] [Eliminated]
[Both Conditions
Names Condition A not Condition A not
A & B satisfied]
satisfied satisfied
No. of Shirts No. of Shirts No. of Shirts
Paramesh 7 7 11
Quasim 13 9 9
Raghu 9 13 13
Sachin 11 11 7
Tanveer 5 5 5

Therefore only Case (2-B) satisfies both conditions.

Thus we get the final table as follows,

Case (2-B)
Names
No. of Shirts
Paramesh 7
Quasim 9
Raghu 13
Sachin 11
Tanveer 5

Answers:

101.

Common Explanation for Q. no. 116 to 120:

Reference:

Practical files of five different subjects - Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer


and Arts, were kept on a table such that there were 2 files of each subject on the
table. These files were kept one above the other in two piles (pile 1 and pile 2)
such that each pile of practical files contains five practical files each of different
subject. Also, in both the piles, the practical files kept at same
position were not of same subject.

Inference:

We will keep this information in mind while solving the puzzle.

Reference:

Biology file was kept immediately below Computer file in pile 2. There was one file
kept between Arts and Biology file in pile 2. Arts file was kept above the Computer
file in both the piles.

Neither Chemistry nor Physics file was kept immediately above or below
Arts file in pile 2.
