Answers:Â
Directions (1-5) :
P and U are sitting adjacent to each other.
U sits opposite to T.
T sits at the corner of the table.
From the above condition, there are two possibilities.
Q sits at the corner of the table but not adjacent to P.
W sits adjacent to neither T nor U.
Two persons are sitting between S and W.
S sits adjacent to either T or P.
R sits second to the left of S.
V is not an immediate neighbour of W.
From the above condition, case1 gets eliminated. Case-2 shows the final arrangement.
1) Answer: E
2) Answer: A
3) Answer: E
4) Answer: C
5) Answer: E
Directions (6-10) :
6) Answer: D
I). L < P (L < K = T ≥ H = O > V= P) -> False
II). F > T (F < H ≤ T) -> False
Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
7) Answer: A
I). Q > T (Y < T = F ≤ M < A ≤ Q) -> True
II). F < P (F ≤ M < A ≤ Q > Z >P) -> False
Only conclusion I follow.
8) Answer: B
I). M ≤ Z (M > P< Q > K > Z) -> False
II). C < Q (C < R < X = J < Z < K < Q) -> True
Only conclusion II follows
9) Answer: E
I). R < G (G = I > Q = R) -> True
II). T < P (P > G = I > Q = R ≥ T) -> True
Both conclusions I and II follow.
10) Answer: C
I). X < L (X < H < K< M < E = L) -> True
II). X = L (X = H = K = M = E = L) -> True
Either conclusion I or II follows.
