xi) Therefore, we can clearly see that only Suhail has not attended seminar in
Chandigarh yet. Therefore, Suhail will attend seminar in Chandigarh on
Thursday. And Shivangi will attend the seminar in Delhi (only possible place)
on Thursday.

Thursday Shivangi Sujata Sajal Suhail
Filling the remaining data, we get:

one is born in 1955 and so on. Their age is considered as in 2018.
Difference between ages of B and C is 10 years. Age of B is a prime number.

2017 and assuming months and date to be same. The person who likes Honda
city born after G and before the person who born in 1972.A was born in an
even year and his age is multiple of 5, but A is not the youngest person. Age of F
is equal to double the difference between A and G. Age of E is equal to the
difference between the age of B and C, but E is not the youngest among all of

person working in TCS must be born in 1950).
4. The one working in Accenture is 56 years old now (must be born in 1962).

SOLUTION (6-10):
i) Lets first calculate the ages of different persons.
(For example: 2018 – 1950 = 68)
Year Age Person

1950 68
1955 63
1960 58
1965 53
1970 48
1975 43

1970 48
1975 43 B
1980 38
iii) Difference between ages of B and C is 10 years.

iv) E is born after C but before B.
(so, we can conclude than B is born after C).
Case 1:
Year Age Person

1950 68
1955 63 C
1960 58
1965 53 B
1970 48

1965 53 C
1970 48
1975 43 B
1980 38
v) A is born after A but age of A is not a multiple of 19.

(so, we get 2 possibilities for case 1 here and case 2 gets eliminated).
Case 1(a):
Year Age Person

1950 68
1955 63 C
1960 58
1965 53 B

1950 68
1955 63 C
1960 58 D/G
1965 53 B
1970 48 A
1975 43

1960 58
1965 53 B
1970 48 D/G
1975 43 A
1980 38 D/G
vii) E is younger than C but older than B.

(so, case 1(a) gets eliminated here as it does not satisfy the condition).
Case 1(b):
Year Age Person

1950 68
1955 63 C
1960 58 E

6) Option d) is the correct answer as F is the oldest.

7) Option a) is the correct answer as A was born in 1975.
8) Option e) is the correct answer as B was born in odd numbered year while
others (given in the options) are born in even numbered year.
9) Option e) is the correct answer as none of the given statements are true.
10) Option e) is the correct answer as D can be either 40 years or 50 years old.
SOLUTION (11-15):
i) Lets first calculate the age of these persons w.r.t. year 2017.
(For Example: 2017 – 1948 = 69)
Year Age Person Car
1948 69
1951 66
1963 54
1972 45
1975 42
1992 25

ii) Person who has Buggati was born in an odd year and his age is multiple of
14.
(only possibility is he is born in the year 1975).

1951 66
1963 54
1972 45
1975 42 Buggati
1992 25
2002 15
iii) A was born in even year and his age is multiple of 5 and likes creta.

Case 2:
Year Age Person Car

1948 69
1951 66
1963 54
1972 45
1975 42 Buggati
1992 25 A Creta
2002 15
v) Age of F is twice the difference of ages of A and G.

(now, we have to check possible age of G, so that twice the difference of both A
and G can be the age of F).
So, considering case 1:
Age of A is 45.
If we take age of G as 66, so difference between ages of A and G will be 21 and
its twice will be 42, which is age of F.
But, Case 2 does not satisfy the given condition, so it gets eliminated here.
Case 1:

1948 69
1951 66 G
1963 54
1972 45 A Creta
1975 42 F Buggati
1992 25
2002 15
vi) The person who likes Honda city born after G and before the person who
born in 1972.
(so, one born in 1963 has Honda city).
vii) Age of E is difference between ages of B and C.
viii) E is not the youngest and C is not the oldest.

11) Option c) is the correct answer as D has BMW.

12) Option a) is the correct answer as E is 54 years old.
13) Option d) is the correct answer as G was born in odd numbered year rest
others (given in the options) are born in even numbered year.

between 2 adjacent horses increases from left to right, in consecutive integral
multiples of 4. Distance between C & D is 60 m and only 2 horses stands
between them. F sits immediate left of C. A sits somewhere to the right of F and
distance between them is in multiple of six. Distance between C and B is 44 m.
Horse A starts moving towards east, after moving 12 m, it turns to its right and
walked 20m. Again it turns right and moves 60 m. From there after turning to
its left and walking for a distance of 5 m, it comes to halt at a point M. Horse F,
moves in north direction for a distance of 20 m and then turn to its left and
moves 26 m. After taking one more turn to its left it stops at a point N after
walking 5 m. Horse D, walks south and travel 10 m before turning to its left.
After 24 m it takes right turn and walks 15 m and reaches point Q.
Q11: What is the distance between point Q and M?

a) The distance between C and M is 25m.
b) D is immediate left of B.
c) A is at one of the extreme ends.
d) Distance between E and F is more than 50m.
e) All are true.
SOLUTION (1-5):

SOLUTION (11-15):
i) Distance between C and D is 60m and only 2 horses stand between them.
And it is also given that distance between 2 horses is consecutive integral
multiple of 4.
So, this distance can be calculated as :
X + (X + 4) + (X + 8) = 60
3X = 60 -12
Therefore, X = 16

1) Option c) is the correct answer as 2 persons visits between B and W.

2) Option d) is the correct answer as W visits on Thursday.
3) Option a) is the correct answer as there is no floor between Q and one who

SOLUTION (6-10):
1. The student who got 1st and the last position (i.e. 9th) got 98% and 38%
respectively. 2. Nick got 3rd position in the class by
scoring 83% marks in total and 100% in Mathematics. 3. Jones got 95%
marks and scored 66 marks in Mathematics.
( so, Jones must have obtained 2nd position as his percentage is between 1st and
3rd rank holders).
4. The topper got 86 marks in Mathematics.

9 38
5. Rajat got a position higher than Nick.

( so, Rajat must have obtained 1st position).
6. Ena got a position higher than Sudhir.
Ena>Sudhir
7. Sam got a rank higher than Sonu and Gazal got a rank below than both Sam
and Sonu.
Sam >Sonu>Gazal
8. Rohan got 79 % , which is higher than 62% (that Ena obtained).
(so, we can conclude that Rohan got a rank higher than Ena).
9. Also, Sudhir got a rank higher than Sam.
Therefore, it can be concluded :
Rohan>Ena>Sudhir> Sam>Sonu>Gazal
1 Rajat 98 86
2 Jones 95 66
3 Nick 83 100
4 Rohan
5 Ena
6 Sudhir
7 Sam
8 Sonu
9 Gazal 38
10. Rohan got 79% marks in total and 56 marks in Mathematics.

11.Ena got 62% marks in total.
12. Sudhir got 78 marks in Mathematics.
13. The difference between marks obtained by Sudhir and Gazal in
Mathematics is 29 (so, Gazal must have obtained either 107 (78+29) marks or
49 marks. But Maths exam is of 100 marks only. Therefore, Gazal has obtained
49 marks in Mathematics).

2 Jones 95 66
3 Nick 83 100
4 Rohan 79 56
5 Ena 62
6 Sudhir 78
7 Sam
8 Sonu
9 Gazal 38 49
14. Sonu has obtained 41% marks.

15. Sonu marks in Mathematics is equal to Ena’s Percentage in total.
(so, Sonu must have obtained 62 marks in Mathematics).
16. Ena got 35 marks in Mathematics.

2 Jones 95 66
3 Nick 83 100
4 Rohan 79 56
5 Ena 62 35
6 Sudhir 78
7 Sam
8 Sonu 41 62
9 Gazal 38 49
17. Difference between marks in Mathematics obtained by Sam and Rohan is

only 4 marks.(so, Sam must have obtained either 60 (56+4) marks or 52 (56-4)
marks).
18. Sudhir obtained 51% marks.

5 Ena 62 35
6 Sudhir 51 78
7 Sam 60/52
8 Sonu 41 62
9 Gazal 38 49
19. One of the student got 46% marks.

(so, only possibility is Sam got 46% marks).

6) Option c) is the correct answer as Sam got 46% marks.

7) Option c) is the correct answer as only 2 students got more than 80 marks in
Mathematics.
8) Option e) is the correct answer as Sam got either 60 or 52 marks in
Mathematics.
9) Option d) is the correct answer as 3 students got a position higher than the
students who got 56 marks in Mathematics.
