Answers:
Directions (1-4):
C’s salary package is 27 lakhs. D’s salary package is 32 lakhs and is less than the salary package of G. G’s salary package is not 42 lakhs. H got placed in HCL Company and his salary package is less than the salary package of F. H’s salary package is not 28 lakhs, or 12 lakhs and he has not done his graduation from Lucknow University. E got placed in Amazon Company. A has done his graduation from IIT Kanpur.
B’s salary package is more than the salary package of G. B did not get placed in Tech-Mahindra Company. The one who has done his graduation from BITS Pilani got placed in Tech-Mahindra. The one who got placed in Tech-Mahindra Company has his salary package of 42 lakhs and is more than the one who has done his graduation from IIM Lucknow. Thus, F has done his graduation from BITS Pilani. Now as Salary of H is less than F, the only possible salary of H is 16 lakhs.
The salary package of the one who has done his graduation from IIT Kanpur is not 28 lakhs. Thus, the only salary left for A is 12 lakhs. So, salary of E is 28 lakhs. The one who has done his graduation from Allahabad University has his salary package of 28 lakhs. So, E is from Allahabad University.
The one who got placed in IBM Company has his salary package more than the one who got placed in HCL Company but less than the one who got placed in BITS Pilani company. As salary package of person who got placed in BITS Pilani company is 42 lakhs and the one who got placed in HCL is 16 lakhs, thus the salary package of person who got placed in IBM Company is between 42 lakhs and 16 lakhs which can be 27 lakhs or 32 lakhs. The one who got graduated from IIT Delhi has his salary package less than D’s salary package, but he has not got placed in HCL Company.
Thus, the only possible salary for the one who got graduated from IIT Delhi is 27 lakhs.
The one got placed in Microsoft Company has done his graduation from IIM Lucknow. As the salary of F is more than the salary of the person from IIM Lucknow, the only possible person from IIM Lucknow is D.
The one who has done his graduation from Lucknow University has his salary package more than the salary package of H but less than the salary package of the one who has done his graduation from IISC Bangalore. This is only possible if G is from Lucknow University and B is from IISC Bangalore.
Thus, H is from VIT.
The one who got placed in Cognizant Company has his salary package less than the one who got placed in Tech-Mahindra Company. The one who got placed in Accenture Company has his salary package less than the one who got placed in Linkedin Company.

3) Answer: b)
4) Answer: c)
Directions (5-7):
Kiran lives on the 7th floor and there are three people living between Kiran and Navneet. Navneet’s age is 8 times to that of Ranveer.
Let the age of Ranveer be x.
Therefore, age of Navneet = 8x.
Juhi lives on an even numbered floor but not on the 8th floor and is not an immediate neighbour of Navneet.
As Navneet lives on 3rd floor, Juhi cannot be on floor number 2 or 4.
Thus, Juhi lives on 6th floor.
The one who is 13 years old is an immediate neighbour of Juhi.
The person who lives immediately below Juhi is the oldest person in the group. As 13 years old is not the oldest person among the given persons, thus case 1 gets eliminated. Himanshu lives on an even numbered floor and she does not live below Juhi.
Thus, Himanshu lives on 8th floor.
Akshay does not live on 2nd floor and is an immediate neighbour of Navneet. Thus, Akshay lives on 4th floor.
Two people lives between Akshay and the one who is 7 years old.
Nirmesh lives immediately above Ranveer.
Thus, the only floors where Nirmesh and Ranveer can lives are 2nd and 1st floor respectively.
Now, only 5th floor is vacant, and Madhuri is left.
Hence, Madhuri lives on 5th floor and is the oldest person in the group.
Age of the oldest person in the group is 11 times to that of Ranveer.
As age of Ranveer is 7 years old, the age of Madhuri (oldest person) = 7 × 11 = 77.
Sum of ages of Navneet, Ranveer and the oldest person in the group is 140.
Thus, age of Navneet = 140 – 77 – 7 = 56
Juhi is 13 years younger than Navneet.
Thus, age of Juhi = 56 – 13 = 43
The one who is 19 years old and 56 years old are immediate neighbours of each other.
Neither Nirmesh nor Himanshu is 19 years old.
Hence, Akshay is 19 years old.
Himanshu is 2 year younger than Kiran.
Age of Kiran = 13
Age of Himanshu = 11
Nirmesh is 3 year older than Ranveer
As Ranveer = 7 years old, So, Nirmesh age will be 10 years
So the final arrangement is,
5) Answer: c)
6) Answer: c)
7) Answer: b)
Directions (8-10):
Logic:
Step I: The lowest even number in the series is removed and its preceding number is written at the leftmost side.
Step II: The lowest odd number in the series is removed and its next number is written at the leftmost side.
Step III: Then the second lowest even number in the series is removed and its preceding number is written at the leftmost side.
This goes on till all the numbers are changed and then in the final step all the numbers are arranged in the ascending order.
Similarly,
Input: 87 20 11 59 78 40 68
Step I: 19 87 11 59 78 40 68
Step II: 12 19 87 59 78 40 68
Step III: 39 12 19 87 59 78 68
Step IV: 60 39 12 19 87 78 68
Step V: 67 60 39 12 19 87 78
Step VI: 88 67 60 39 12 19 78
Step VII: 77 88 67 60 39 12 19
Step VIII: 12 19 39 60 67 77 88
Step VIII is the last step of the arrangement.
