Solutions
Questions 1 to 3
Initial information:
A (2)
B(I) c (2)
D(I)
E(I)
F(I)
Also, P, Q, R, S, T, U, W, X (Underlined shows female). From Clue 2, Room C (2 people) and Room F (1 person) should be women’s rooms as men cannot be placed there.
From Clue 3—P must be in E, S must be in A (where U and W cannot be). Thus S must be sharing his room with R. Also U and W must be in some random order in Rooms B or D. Also, X must be in Room F as she is a female and wants a single room. Collating all this we get:A(2) S,R
B(I)
C(2) Q,T
D(I)
E(I)P
F(I)X
Hence, the answers are:
1. P(c)
2. B or D (d)
3. F (b)
Questions 4 to 8
From the first clue we know that:
Six people M, N, P, Q, S & T
3 departments for females: Accounts, Admin and Personnel.
3 floors (2 people each)
Using the direct information in clue 2 we get:
Note: (- Denotes Female and + denotes male)
Since P is a male (denoted by ‘+’ in the figure) S must be a female (Since no two females work in the same department or on the same floor).
IfS is female, M must be male (since they are in the same department).
Also, since N and S are in the same department, N is also a male. This gives us the final figures us:
Also, S, M and N work in either Accounts or Administration. Q—Administration. At this stage we can answer the questions:
4. S, Q, T (a)
For 5. data is inadequate since we just know that Q works in Admin, but we do not know who else works in Admin (and whether someone works in Admin or not).
Hence (d).
For 6. Since Q is in Admin, S must be in accounts (as she cannot be in personnel).
Thus, T is in Personnel.Hence (c).
7. N, T (d)
8. Q needs to move to Personnel to have the three women in three different departments.
Questions 9 to 13
The following table will emerge out of the given clues:
Since C and D are doctors and A is not an engineer, hence, A is a teacher.
Since A travels in a Santro, C will travel in an Opel. Also, A and F will be together. Given A and F are pair of sisters, both are females.
In a Maruti, only two persons B & G travel, so G is a female. Two persons belonging to the same profession do not travel in the same vehicle, so D travels in a Santro. There are two doctors, two engineers and three teachers and persons of the same profession do not travel in the same vehicle, so F is an engineer. And Eisa male teacher.
The following table will emerge out of the given clues:
14. (b) Looking at the options, the only possible solution is option (b) (as Table Tennis should be an odd number of people as Tennis + Badminton is 2n-l)
15. (b) IfTable Tennis players are 7 in number then,
n + n- 1 = 3.
2n = 4.
n = 2. This is possible.
16. (d) Going through options we find that the only possibility is G and H as we would need 7 people to be Table Tennis players in such a case.
17. (c) If the Table-Tennis team has just one member J, then the Tennis team will surely have D, E and F as players.
18. (a) A,B and J would then be definitely Table Tennis players.
19. (c) If the Badminton team has 2 players, then the Tennis team will have 3 players The remaining players will be in the Table-Tennis team
20. (c)
21. (c)
22. (b)
23. (d)
24. (b)
25. (c)
26. (d)
Questions 27 to 28
Refer to the clues given to us in the information, the best way to solve this question is to tabulate as well as comprehend the direct and indirect clues given to us.
The first clue given to us is that L1 difficulty projects will have single researchers and other difficulty level will have two researchers. Now it is given that ROC II and ROC III are L2 and L3 respectively. Thus, ROC I and ROC IV are Ll level. Direct clues given to us point that Ex can be assigned only L1 projects which are ROC I and ROC IV Next set of clues given to us says that Ax cannot work with Bx, Cx, Dx and Fx. Thus, Ax will also be assigned to project requiring a single researcher hence either ROC I or ROC IV Now, since Fx cannot be assigned to L3 level so he must have been assigned to ROC II and he can work with either Dx or Cx, but Fx will work with Dx since Bx cannot work with Dx. Now Bx will be assigned to the remaining L3 project i.e. ROC III and Bx has the option of working with Cx.
27. Hence Option (d) is the correct answer.
28. IfFx can neither work in ROC I and ROC II then we become uncertain about the project assignment for each of Ax, Ex and Fx.
Hence Option (c) is the correct answer.
Questions 29 and 30
For this question, let us form a tree since there are separate events related to going of Neha and Omar with Mayank. There will be two scenarios that we need to analyse which is graspable from the very first line of the information given, i.e., if Mayank goes to Singapore he takes with him either Neha or Omar.
i) IfNeha goes then Pawan goes. Shawn will go with Neha only. Tanvi will go if Pawan goes and same condition goes for Varun who goes to Singapore if Shawn accompanies him.
ii) If Omar goes then Ravi goes with him, and Pawan also will go with Omar. Varun will accompany Ravi and Unni will accompany Pawan.
29.
Hence Option (b) is the correct answer.30. Look at the trees, Varun goes due to either Neha and Omar who go with either Shawn or Ravi.
Hence Option (c) is the correct answer.
Questions 31 and 32
We have been given that Amir and Gaurav sit on benches Mahogany and Maple. Now since Fahim is a boy and sits with only Bikram, this implies that Bikram is a female. (This conclusion was made on the grounds that there is at least one girl on each bench). Fahim and Bikram sit on the Oak bench.
On the basis of above information we get: 
Now since Charlie is a girl student and she does not sit with Amir, Emraan and David, it implies that Charlie sits on Maple bench because on Oak bench only two persons can be seated. By elimination of clues, Emraan and David sit on Mahogany bench. Now see the clue, “Amir sits with his friend” this means that Amir is male. Again Emraan is the brother of Charlie implies that Emraan is a male. By elimination David is a female. But sex of Gaurav is still unknown.
Thus the information obtained above can be summarised as follows:
31. David, Bikram and Charlie are girls. Possibility of fourth girl still exists because sex of Gaurav is unknown. Hence Option (c) is the correct answer.
32. Option (d) is the correct answer.
Questions 33 to 35
If there are at least two passengers in each vehicle and one of them is a male then, in the group there are at least three males. Among them Niharika is a female and she is a doctor. Geetika and Aishwarya are also females. Fromthe second clue we get Aparajita is a teacher. Deep is a male and he is an engineer. He travels with only Aparajita, which means Aparajita is a female. And both of them travel in Maruti. From the third clue Shwetabh is a male and he is a doctor. From fifth clue Geetika is not an engineer and she cannot be a doctor because there can be only two doctors (Niharika and Shwetabh).
Hence, Geetika is a teacher and she travels in Santro. So there are four females Niharika, Geetika, Aishwarya and Aparajita. Hence the remaining persons will be male because in each vehicle there has to be at least one male. Hence Akansha is a male and Shwetabh and Akansha will occupy seats in two different cars (Santro and Octavia) because in Maruti, Deep travels only with Aparajita. Again Niharika can travel neither with Shwetabh nor with Geetika and Aishwarya. Thus we have the final arrangement as follows:
Now we can answer the questions as follows:
33. Option (a) is the correct answer.
34. Option (c) is the correct answer.
35. Option (b) is the correct answer.
Questions 36 and 37
Fromthe clues given we can directly arrange the persons according to their heights.
I>K>H>N>L>J>M>G
Now let us arrange the persons to their games that they play.
Now we can answer the questions.
36. Option (d) is the correct answer.
37. Option (b) is the correct answer.
Questions 38 and 39
Let us decode the clues to clear the picture and sequence all the events that are given in the information. We have been given that Bali and Giri are in Marketing, Fateh in Finance and Dabang is not in HR. This means that Dabang is in Finance. By the process of elimination, remaining Chinkara, Jeev and Himesh are in HR.
Now to arrange students with their respective colleges is the next task. We have been given Dabang who is a male student studies in IIM R only with Bali. This means that in IIM R only two students study and Bali is a female since at least one boy and one girl study in a college. Now we have been given Fateh who is a male student studies in IIM B but not with either Jeev or Chinkara.
This means that Jeev and Chinkara study at IIM A. Also we have been given that Bali’s sister Giri and Himesh, who is a female, study in the same college. This college cannot be IIM A because then there will be only a single student in IIM B. Hence Himesh and Giri study at IIM B. Still we do not know about the sex of Jeev and Chinkara.
Now we can answer the questions.
38. The students who study HR are Chinkara, Jeev and Himesh. Among the three Chinkara and Jeev study at IIM A. Hence Option (d) is the correct answer.
39. If Chinkara and Bali interchange their colleges satisfying all other conditions it implies that Chinkara is a female and Jeev is a male. Thus the group consists of Chinkara, Bali, Giri and Himesh. Hence Option (b) is the correct answer.
Questions 40-41
This question is a classic example of primary and secondary clues being provided in the information. To solve this set one must be able to analyse all the possibilities given in the clues to derive conclusive data arranged in an appropriate manner according to the given conditions.
Let us solve the problem From clue one we get that the two persons who visit on Friday are Pepe and the person who visits with Pepe is a Defence specialist. Now from clue three Fefe is a Biotech specialist and he visits alone on Tuesday. Also from clue seven we get that the specialist in Genetics visits on Friday. This means that Pepe is a Specialist in genetics.
Moving onto clues four and five we get that Meme and Keke visit on Wednesday and from clue six the engineer visits with Paramedics. Thus they visit either on a Wednesday or on a Saturday. Again, from clue two the engineer does not visit on Saturday. Thus, engineer and paramedics visit on Wednesday. Now using clue four we get that Meme is Paramedics and Keke is the engineer. Again from clue five we get that Hehe is not a defence specialist and Hehe does not visit on Friday. Hence Hehe visits on Saturdays. Similarly from clue eight we get that Bebe also visits on Saturday.
The only person left to analyse is Dede who is the specialist in defence. Also since Bebe is not a businessman, Hehe is a businessman and Bebe is a specialist in Biometrics.
Now we can summarise our analysis in a table:
Now we can answer the questions:
40. Option (a) is the correct answer.
41. Option (d) is the correct answer.
42. To solve the question lets look into the clues given and try to pair assistants with bosses and respective countries. For this, one must start reacting to the clue that gives a clear picture of the relationship such as the clue of Davis and Catty working together. China operations would not be headed by a person whose name ends in ‘s’. Let us tabulate the information in the clues and draw a clear picture of the scenario.
42. Hence Option (b) is the correct answer.
