Solution for 1 – 3: 8. (d) The arrangement with the given condition is not
1. (c) Given tasks are A, B, C, D, E (Here we will assume possible as it contradicts the given conditions.
the condition to complete the work at the earliest) 9. (a) The arrangement in this case could be:
st
From the 1 condition- Task A → from 9 am to 11 Nepalese Iraqi Englishman Chinese Indian
am, So Iraqui will be on track 2.
From the 2 nd condition B → from 11 am to 12 noon 10. (d) Initial Position is V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6
(Since it has started after completion of A) Now from the 1 condition: V2 V5
st
rd
From the 3 condition C → from 12 noon to 1 pm From 2 condition V6 V4 and none of them at
nd
st
Task D’s one hour work will be done along with B. position number three hence they cannot be at 1
D’s second hour work will be done along with C three places.
rd
Hence to commence E, D must complete 3 hrs. From 3 condition V5 V1 V3
th
Hence timing of task D → from 11 am to 2 pm and At 5 place even numbered book is placed.
After this the remaining task E → From 2 pm to 3 pm From these information we can conclude that:-
2. (c) From the above solution E starts from 2 pm. V2 V5 V1 V3 V6 V4 hence 4 is correct.
3. (b) From the solution of previous questions Ajay Solution for 11 – 15:
completed tasks at 3 pm. Vicky > Priya
Solution for 4 – 6: Priya > Ankit
Given that Six products - Ariel, Vivel, Rin, Nirma, Gillette One of them is true- Raman is highest or Tony is least
Gel and Pepsodent or Sunil got highest and Deepak got least.
st
From 1 condition: Rin and Ariel are next to each other. Now for each and every question we have different
nd
From 2 condition at least two products are between cases -
Ariel & Nirma 11. (d) Since Sunil got the sixth and Ankit got the fifth
rank, hence we can conclude that Raman must have
rd
From 3 condition Pepsodent is kept between Gillette Gel got the highest and Tony must have got the least
and Rin, and at least 2 products between Pepsodent and rank. And the order of ranks of Vicky, Priya and
Vivel. Ankit must be Vicky > Priya > Ankit. Vicky must

From 4 condition: Vivel and Rin can not be next to each have got the second or third rank and accordingly
other. Priya must have got the third or fourth rank. Deepak

From 5 condition Vivel is not kept at 1 window. must have got any rank among two, three and four.
Final arrangement would be Nirma Gillette Pepsodent 12 (c). If Raman gets the highest, then Tony will get least
th
Rin Ariel Vivel and be ranked 7 .
4. (c) From case II of the above table Rin is left of Ariel. Now since Priya and Ankit are always ranked
Hence, the answer is (3). numerically higher than Vicky.
th
5. (c) If we interchange the position of Rin and Ariel, Hence, Vicky can never be ranked lower than 4 .
st
the item displayed in window 5 will be Rin. 13. (d) Given that Ankit is ranked 1 . But is not possible
6. (c) Except Rin, the product displayed left of Ariel but as he always scores less than Vicky and Priya. Hence
right of Gillette Gel is Pepsodent. this case is not possible and data is inconsistent.
Solution for 7 – 9: 14. (a) If Sunil gets the second rank, then Raman gets
the first rank and Tony gets the last rank. In that case
There are five tracks T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 Vicky’s rank can be 3 or 4, and Priya’s rank can be
Chinese --- Indian (Chinese is left of Indian) 4 or 5 and Ankit’s rank can be 5 or 6 then Deepak’s
7. (c) Chinese Indian/Iraqi Nepalese rank can be 3, 4 or 5.
Iraqi/Indian Englishmen. 15. (a) If Vicky is ranked 5 , then Priya is ranked 6 and

Hence the Indian and the Iraqi should be in track Ankitis ranked 7 . Then only possibility is Sunil is
