Common Explanation:
We have:
 Guru was born in 1992 but was neither born on Tuesday nor on Monday.
Page 8 of 41

 The one who was born on Sunday was born in 1990.

 Guru and Monty was born in adjacent year.
That means, in case (1) Monty was born in 1993, in case (2) Monty was born in 1991.
 Age of the one who was born on Friday is multiple of 5.
Since, only such birth year is 1989 and 1994, thus in case (1a) & case (2a) the one who was born on Friday
was born in 1994, in case (1b) & case (2b) the one who was born on Friday was born in 1989.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
 Age of the one who was born on Wednesday is a prime number and was born three years before Sonu.
That means, in case (1a) & case (1b) Sonu was born in 1991, case (1b) & case (2b) are not valid.
 Two person was born between the one who was born on Monday and Hari.
 The one who was born on Monday was born just after Rinku’s birth year.
 Age of Hari is neither prime number nor was born on Tuesday.
That means, in case (1a) & case (1b) Rinku was born in 1990.
 At least three person was born between the one who Deep and the one who was born on Tuesday.
 Age of Deep is not an even number.
Since, neither Hari nor Guru was born on Tuesday, thus in case (1a)& case (1b) Monty was born on Tuesday
and Deep was born in 1988.
Page 9 of 41

Case (2a) & case (2b) Age of the one who was born on Wednesday is prime and was born three years before
Sonu.
Again, we have:
 Payal was neither born on Saturday nor was born on Thursday.
 The one who was born on Thursday was born in any year after the one who was born on Saturday.
That means, in case (1b) Hari was born on Thursday and case (1a) is not valid.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement as follows:
Case (1a) is not valid as the one who was born on Thursday was born in any year after the one who was born
on Saturday.

Explanation:
Five building are adjacent to one another in a linear way from west to east. Each building is numbered as 1 to
5 from west to east. Each building contain different number of floors such as two to six floors not in numerical order.
All the floors are in same height and bottom floor is 1st and above is 2nd floor and so on.
Building with 5 floor is second from one end and west of three floor building. Difference between both end
building floors is same as difference between 2nd and 4th building floors. Building with six floor is second from one of
the end. The building I does not contains odd number of floors. From that we get two cases.
In each building persons lives in alternate floor remaining should be vacant floor. No two persons lives in
consecutive floors in any building. Each building is painted either with Green and Yellow colours. No same colour is
painted to building immediate to each other.
F lives in the 4th building 1st floor. Yellow colour is painted next to the highest floor building. From that we
place next to the 5th floor building is painted yellow and 6th floor building is green colour.
Page 11 of 41

Both O and P live in the same green colour building. M and N lives in the same building but neither M nor N
lives in 1st floor. Except M and N no one lives in that building. P lives above M floor in different building. F neither
lives with O nor P in the building. M’s building is west of III building. Only possible is I building and II is green for
O and P. M lives above J’s floor on different building so M is above of 2nd floor. No two persons lives in consecutive
floors in any building.
. D, L and F are lives in the same floor. No one lives below or above of both L and C we get that L and C are
lives alone in their building so possible III and V. Both J and C lives to the east of L’s building in above 2 nd floor of
different buildings. From this L and C is III and V building respectively. C and J are in 3 rd floor because M placed in
4th floor so J is below of M.
Page 12 of 41

W lives in the top most floor of same colour building as D. D’s building colour is green and W lives in IV
building topmost floor. Expect all are vacant floors.

1=$A%C#C@D=E, 2= $D%B#C@C=E, 3=$D%C#D@C=B
1= 12 15 25 54 36 from this condition 3 is followed. Perfect square number is preceded by even number. So, subtract
the second highest and 2rd lowest.
36-15=21
2= 18 10 25 45 36 from this condition 2 is followed. Perfect square is preceded by odd number, then sum the highest
and lowest number.
45+10=55
3= 18 15 30 36 9 from this condition 2 is followed. Perfect square is preceded by odd number, then sum the highest
and lowest number.
36+9=45
1+2+3  21+55+45  121. So, Yellow light is on.
12) Answer: B
‘$D%E#E@A=C’ is 18 28 35 27 16 from this the perfect cube is preceded by perfect square number. So, sum the
highest and lowest number.
35+16= 51. Since, the value is between 50 and 95 So, the Orange lights is on.
13) Answer: E
Signal ‘$A%C#B@D=A’ is 12 15 20 54 4 form this condition 3 is followed. Perfect square number is preceded by
even number. So, subtract the second highest and 2rd lowest.
20 -12 = 8, So, no light is operated.
14) Answer: B
‘$C%E#E@E=E’ is 16 28 35 63 36. 1st and last number is a perfect square from even numbers. So, the 10th digits of
all numbers are multiplied to produce numeric values.
1x2x3x6x3 = 108 Yellow light has been operated by this signal.
15) Answer: A
If two conditions are follow in the signal order, then only 1st condition which follows will be applicable.
Signals A is =E%E#D@D$C is 36 28 30 54 16. 1st and last number is a perfect square from even numbers. So, the
10th digits of all numbers are multiplied to produce numeric values.
3x2x3x5x1= 90
Signals B is =E%E@E$E$C is 36 28 63 20 16. 1st and last number is a perfect square from even numbers. So, the
10th digits of all numbers are multiplied to produce numeric values.
3x2x6x2x1 = 72
90+72 = 162. So, Yellow light is operated.
Explanation:

Explanation:
Ten person lives in the seven floor building. Each floor contain three flats sections named as A, B and C from
left to right. More than ten flats are vacant in the building. The bottom most floor is numbered as 1 and immediate
above floor as 2 and so on. The topmost floor is 7.
R lives three floor above of T’s floor. T lives even numbered floor in A flat. Z lives north-east direction of R’s
flats. Q lives immediate above of Z flat.
S lives immediate below of T’s floor but not in same flat. There are five floors between Q and U but both of them not
in the same flat.

21) B. 22) C. 23) C. 24) B. 25) D
Explanation:
Nine boxes L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T are placed in the racks. There are some racks be empty. Each box contain
number of books such viz. 8, 11, 16, 22, 35, 46, 49, 54 and 64.
Box S placed 3rd to the east of box L. Box R is placed immediate above of box L and contain number of books is
divisible by nine. So the possible of box R is 54.
Box P is west of box S but not immediate to box L. Box which contain cube number of books has placed immediate
above of box P. Possible cases is 8 or 64.
Page 21 of 41

Box which contains books as multiple of five is placed immediate below of O and north-east of box P. Multiple of
five only possible value is 35 from the statements. Both boxes N and O are in same row. Box M is north-east of box
N, which is placed above row of box L which placed.
Box Q is immediate above of box contain books which is divisible by seven. From this only case is 35 and 49 but 35
is placed below of O so possible case is 49. M is in the C column racks. Two rack between box M and box which
contain 49 books. In Case 2 there is no possibility for 49 books box in C because it goes ten boxes in the rack so it is
out of options.
Page 22 of 41

Either box O or box N has double of box L or box M contain dresses. Box M contains more number of books than
box O but less than box N. From the given statements M is no possible for double of N. Box S contain double of box
Q’s books. So possibility for box Q has 8 books then only box S has 16 books. There is no double option value in the
given values.
So the value of box O and box L is 11 and 22 respectively. Box M contains more number of books than box O but
less than box N. Neither the box which contain 64 book and 54 books are placed immediate to each other.

Directions (26-30):
26) A. 27) E. 28) E. 29) D. 30) C
Page 24 of 41

Common Explanation:
We have:
 At least three person lives above one who likes Parrot, who lives on odd numbered floor, that means in case
(1) one who likes Parrot lives on floor marked 1, in case (2) one who likes Parrot lives on floor marked 3, in
case (3) one who likes Parrot lives on floor marked 5.
 T, who belongs to Kolkata, lives at a gap of two floors from the one who likes Parrot.
 One who belongs to Kolkata lives just below the one who likes Rat, that means in case (1) T lives on floor
marked 4, in case (2) T lives on floor marked 6, in case (3) T lives on floor marked 2.
 At least three person lives between one who belongs to Kolkata and V, who lives on even numbered floor and
also likes Dog, that means we have four possible place for V, in case (1) V lives on floor marked 8, in case (2)
V lives on floor marked 2, in case (3a) V lives on floor marked 6, in case (3b) V lives on floor marked 8.
 Only two person lives between the one who likes Dog and the one who belongs to Chennai.
Page 25 of 41

Again, we have:
 Q neither likes Rat nor Parrot, lives at a gap of two floors from the one who belongs to Patna.
 One who belongs to Patna lives on the floor immediately below to the one who likes Dog, that means case (1)
is not valid, in case (2) Q lives on floor marked 4, in case (3a) Q lives on floor marked 8, in case (3b) Q lives
on floor marked 4.
 One who belongs to Ranchi lives exactly between V and Q. that means in case (2) one who belongs to Ranchi
also likes Parrot, in case (3a) one who belongs to Ranchi lives on floor marked 7, in case (3b) one who
belongs to Ranchi lives on floor marked 6.
 One who likes Owl belongs to Delhi.
 One who belongs to Delhi does lives at a gap of two floors from W, who neither belongs to Patna nor he like
Rat, that means in case (2) one who likes Owl lives on floor marked 8, in case (3a) one who likes Owl lives on
floor marked 4, in case (3b) one who likes Owl lives on floor marked 4.
Based on above give information we have:
Case (1) is not valid as one who belongs to Patna lives on floor just below to one who likes Dog.
Again, we have:
Page 26 of 41

 Only three person lives between the one who likes Cat and R, who neither lives on odd numbered floor nor
lives adjacent to S, that means in case (2) R lives on floor marked 8, in case (3a) R lives on floor marked 4, in
case (3b) R lives on floor marked 6.
 Only two person lives between the one who likes Monkey and U, who doesn’t sit adjacent to the one who
belongs to Mumbai, that means in case (2) U lives on floor marked 3, in case (3a) U lives on floor marked 5,
in case (3b) U lives on floor marked 3.
 The one who likes Pigeon lives at a gap of one floor from the one who belongs to Mumbai, that means in case
(2) one who likes Pigeon lives on floor marked 5, in case (3b) one who likes Pigeon lives on floor marked 5,
case (3a) is not valid.
Case (3a) is not valid as one who likes Pigeon lives on at a gap of one floor from one who belongs to Mumbai.
Again, we have:
 Only two person lives between P and the one who belongs to Gaya, as R doesn’t lives adjacent floor of S,
that means in case (2) P lives on floor marked 7 and case (3b) is not valid.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement as follow:
Page 27 of 41

Case (3b) is not valid as only two person lives between P and one who belongs to Gaya.

2nd C 40000
1st D 65000
31) A 32) B. 33) D. 34) C. 35) E

Explanation:
1) A lives four floors above D on an odd numbered floor.
(Implies A lives on either 5th floor or 7th floor and accordingly D lives on either 1st floor or 3rd floor respectively.)
2) E lives just a floor above C, who spent 33.33% more than the person who is on the top floor.
3) B lives three floors above G, who lives on a floor next to E’s floor.
(According to statement 1, let us assume that A lives on the 7th floor and D live on the 3rd floor.
The arrangement would look like this:
Floor Person Amount

(Now, if we place E & C above D, then we won’t be able to place B three floors above G, who is a neighbor of E. So
we have to place E and C below D and there is only way this is possible i.e. E is on the 2nd floor and C is on the
1st floor. But now we can’t place G on a floor that is next to E’s floor because D and C are there already on the next
floor.
Hence our assumption was wrong, A is on the 5th floor and D is on the 1st floor.
Now, it’s clear from statement 2 and 3 that G lives a floor above E (as C lives a floor below E) and B lives four floors
above E.
So we cannot place E on the 4th floor, implies E lives on the 3rd floor, C lives a floor below him and G lives a floor
above him and B lives on the top floor.
Let the amount spent by B (who lives on the top floor) = x
Then, the amount spent by C = 1.33x
Also, now we have the only person left to be mapped i.e. F, so we can place him on the 6th floor.)

4) B spent Rs. 10000 less than the person who lives on the 2nd floor but 6000 more than A.
(Implies,
1.33x – x = Rs. 10000
x = Rs. 30000 = Amount spent by B
1.33x = Rs. 40000 = Amount spent by C
Amount spent by A = Rs. 30000 – Rs. 6000 = Rs. 24000)
5) The person living on the 4th floor spent 12.5% less than the person living on a floor just above him but Rs. 31000
less than the person who lives just a floor below him.
(Implies, G spent 87.5% the amount spent by A (who lives just a floor above him.
Amount spent by G = 87.5% of Rs. 24000
Page 29 of 41

Amount spent by G = Rs. 21000

Also, E lives a floor below him and he spent = Rs. 21000 + Rs. 31000 = Rs. 52000.)

6) The amount spent by the person on the 6th floor is 60% of the amount spent by D, also the difference between their
expenses is Rs. 26000.
(Let the amount spent by D = y
Then, the amount spent by F = 0.6y
Also, y – 0.6y = Rs. 26000
0.5y=26000
y=13000
y = Rs. 65000 = Amount spent by D
0.6y = Rs. 39000 = Amount spent by F)

River Hindon and the river which originates from Malwa is 870.
7) River having length 400 Km, originates from Shahranpur.
Hindon river’s length can only be 900km or 400 km. But the sum of the 2 rivers is less than 900. So the length of the
river Hindon must be 400 km.
