From the information given below, can you identify each businessman's firm, firm director, and number of employees?
1.

Businessmen Names: Fayed, Hany, , Anwar. Rami, and Wagdy.

2.

Directors names: Sami, Ashraf, Waheed, Emil, and Hesham.

3.

Ashraf works for the firm who has the most employees.

4.

Emil is the director of the firm owned by Wagdy, whilst Hesham works for firm (B)

5.

Firm (D) has 230 employees. The smallest number of employees do not work in the firm owned by Hany.

6.

Anwar has 190 employees in his firm. His firm is not Firm (E), and his firm's director is not Sami.

7.

Firm (A) is owned by Fayed, who has 80 employees more than those directed by Waheed.

8.
Sami has more employees to direct than Hesham. The latter's firm owner has a four letter name.
The Question is: Who works where and with whom?

1.

Sami is not the director of the 150 employees Firm, since he has more employees to direct than Hesham (clue 8), and neither
of them directs the 310 employees Firm since that is directed by Ashraf (clue 3). Sami is not the director of the Firm with 190
employees (clue 6). Hesham works with Firm (B) per clue 4, and so he is not directing the 230 employees firm (clue 5). It is
concluded that he can not be the director of the 270 employees firm since Sami is not directing the 310 firm. Hesham must be
the director of the firm with 150 employees. Firm (B) then has 150 employees.

2.

Firm (B) is not owned by Fayed who owns Firm (A) per clue 7, and it is not owned by Hany per clue 5. Firm (B) is not
owned by Anwar who has 190 employees in his Firm, and it is not owned by Wagdy who has Emil directing his firm per clue 4.
Therefore Firm (B) must be owned by Rami.

3.

Anwar does not own Firm (A) which is owned by Fayed (clue 3), and he does not own Firm (B) because he has 190
employees in his Firm (clue 6 ), while Firm (B) has 150 employees. He does not own Firm (D) which has 230 employees (clue
5), and his Firm is not (E) as per clue 6. Therefore his Firm must be (C).

4.

Firm (C) is not directed by Hesham (see above), and is not directed by Emil since Emil works for Wagdy. It is not directed
by Ashraf who works with the firm with 310 employees as per clue 3, and it is not directed by Sami as per clue 6. Therefore the
director of Firm (C) must be Waheed.

5.

Firm (A) has 80 employees more than (C) as per clue 7, and so it must have 270 employees. The director of (A) is neither
Hesham, nor Emil, nor Waheed, nor Ashraf because Hesham works with Rami (see above), Emil with Wagdy (clue 4), and
Waheed works with Anwar (see above). Ashraf works with the 310 employees Firm. Therefore Sami must be the director of
Firm (A).

6.

From the above, Ashraf must be working for Hany in firm (E).

Brief

Fayed owns Firm (A) which is directed by Sami and which has 270 employees.

Hany owns Firm (E) which is directed by Ashraf and which has 310 employees.

Anwar owns Firm (C) which is directed by Waheed and which has 190 employees.

Rami owns Firm (B) which is directed by Hesham and which has 150 employees.

Wagdy owns Firm ( D) which is directed by Emil and which has 230 employees.

A circular railway project was divided into five successive stages of construction. The contract for the construction works of
each
stage
was
awarded
to
a
different
contractor.
From the information given below, can you identify the starting and finishing point of each successive stage of construction,
and say which contractor was awarded the contract for the construction works of each stage.?.
1.

Contractors are referred to by the following symbols: A, B, C, D, E.

2.

The Points between the different stages of the project are referred to by the following symbols: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5.

3.

Contractor E was awarded the contract for the works of the stage starting at point P4.

4.

The stage from point P5 to point P3 was not the first stage.

5.

Contractor D was awarded the contract for the works of the fourth stage.

6.

Stage 3 finished at point P1, and the contract for the works of which was not awarded to Contractor A.

7.
Contractor C was awarded the contract for the works of the stage ending at point P5.
The Question is: What are the starting, finishing point of each stage in the project and which contractor would execute the works in
each stage?

he stage starting at P5, ends at P3 and it is not the first stage (clue 4), and it is not the third stage (clue6). Hence the stage
ending at P5 is not the fifth stage (the railway is circular). The stage ending at P5, is not the forth stage because that stage was
awarded to Contractor (C) according to clue 7, whilst the forth stage was awarded to Contractor (D) according to clue 3. Neither
the stage from P5 to P3, nor its precedent stage ending at P5, is the third stage since stage 3 ends at P1. Hence the stage ending
at P5, is not the second stage and it must be the First stage, and the stage from P5 to P3 is the second stage.

Contractor (E) was awarded the contract for the stage starting at P4. This is not the First stage which was awarded to
Contractor (C) according to clue 7 and the above analysis. It is not the second stage which starts at P5, and it is not the third
which starts at P3, and it is not the forth stage which was awarded to contractor (D). Therefore Contractor (E) must have been
awarded the fifth stage, starting at P4, and finishing at P2.

Stage 3 was not awarded to Contractor (A) according to clue 6. Contractor (A) was not awarded forth stage because it was
awarded to Contractor (D), and he was not awarded stage 5 because it was awarded to Contractor (E), and he was not awarded
stage 1 because that was taken by (C). Therefore Contractor (A) must have been awarded stage 2.
