Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

We have:

The one who is an Additional General Manager likes Ooty and is designated immediately higher to Kajal.
Two persons are designated between Kajal and the one who likes Shimla.

That means, Chief General Manager likes Shimla.

Kindal is designated lower to the one who likes Shimla but not as much as Kajal and Hetal.
Hetal neither likes Ooty nor the designated lowest.
The number of persons designated lower to Hetal is one less than the number of persons designated higher to the one who likes Daman.

That means, in case (1) Kindal is General Manager, in case (2) Kindal is Additional General Manager.

Based on the above given information we have:

Again, we have:

Two persons are designated between the one who likes Manali and Sheetal.
Sheetalis designated higher to the one who likes Leh but not as much as Sonal.
The one who likes Varanasi is designated immediately higher to Sonal, who is not designated immediately higher to Sheetal.

That means, in case (1) Sheetal likes Ooty, case (2) is not valid.

Payal neither likes Varanasi nor designated immediately lower to the one who likes Leh.

That means, Payal likes Manali, and Kajal likes Leh.

Based on the above given information we have the final arrangement as follows:

Case (2) is not valid as the one who likes Varanasi is designated immediately higher to Sonal, who is not designated immediately higher to Sheetal.

1) Answer: D

Deval likes Varanasi.

Hence, option D is the correct choice.

2) Answer: B

Kindal is the General Manager.

Hence, option B is the correct choice.

3) Answer: E

All the above statements are not true.

Hence, option E is the correct choice.

4) Answer: E

Only one person is designated lower to Hetal.

Hence, option E is the correct choice.

5) Answer: D

Directions (6-10) :

Two persons are designated higher than the one who belongs to Munnar, who has the adjacent designation to B.
The number of persons senior to B is the same as junior to the one who belongs to Thekkady, who is third junior to C.
The one who belongs to Ooty is the immediate junior of the one who belongs to Thekkady.

Two persons are designated between A and the one who belongs to Ooty.
The position of A with respect to the one who belongs to Munnar is the same as F with respect to the one who belongs to Thekkady.
The number of persons designated between C and F is one more than between B and E.

Two persons are designated between E and the one who belongs to Shimla.
D is neither the chief secretary nor non-teaching staff but immediately junior to the one who belongs to Kodaikanal.
The one who belongs to Manila is senior to the one who belongs to Darjeeling.

Hence case 1 gets eliminated.
