For questions 1 to 4: For questions 5 to 8:

From statement (i), Mr. Singh must have spent Rs. 1600 From statements (ii), (iv) and (vi) following table can be made

costing Rs. 2100 and it is the suit (statement-vi). From statement
(ii), Sameer must have spent Rs. 900 (as, only 900 = 3 × 300). Pankaj 1
The T-shirt must have cost Rs. 300 which is from Levis brand Purushottam 5
(statement-iii). According to statement (v), Mr. Gemini spent
more than two pers ons and less than two persons. Pulkit
So, he must would have spent Rs. 900 and the person paying Parinita 4

Prerna 3

Now, from statement (vii), Mayank must be Mahajan (because Now, from statement (iv) Purushottam’s best possible rank is
two people cannot have surname starting with same letter. 3, so he must be at rank 4 in Zoology and at rank 3 in Chemistry
So, Sumit can not be Singh) (as he cannot be at 3rd rank in Zoology and 4th rank in
Chemistry)
Hence, Ashutosh must be Singh and Sumit must be Tiwari. From statement (v) Parinita must be at rank 5 in Zoology and at
rank 1 in Botany (as she canno be at rank 1 in Zoology).
Now, with the help of statement (vi) following table can be Hence, Pulkit is at rank 2 in Zoology. Further, Pankaj would be

Now, Prerna has already got rank 3 in Zoology. So, she cannot

10. 4 Either A or E anyone c an like wrestlemania.
So, it can’t be determined uniquely. On combining rest statements, we get the following two
possibilities.
