From I:
We have:
- Geography is kept at bottom having pink cover.
- Math is at second position from top.
- Book having Red cover is kept at the top.
- History book is just placed below math book.
- There is a gap of one place between English and Hindi, who has cover of Green color.
- English having Blue cover is above Hindi, that means English book is kept just below History book.
Based on above given information we have:
Clearly, no exact position for science book is known.
Hence, statement I is not sufficient alone.
From II:
We have:
- Science is kept third from bottom just below English having Blue cover.
- GK book is kept on top at a gap of one place from History book.
- Science book having Black cover is kept at any place below Math book.
- Geography book having Pink cover is kept at any place below Hindi book, that means Geography book is kept at bottom.

Hence, statement II is not sufficient alone.
From I and II:
After combining statement I and II we have:
Clearly, exact position of Yellow covered book is not known.
Hence, statement I and II together not sufficient.
Hence, option D is correct choice.
2) Answer: E
From I:
We have:
- U sits third to right of T, who likes Singing.
- S sits immediate left of U.
- The one who likes Football sit in-front of the one who likes Badminton, who sits third to left of T, that means the one who likes Football sits immediate left of S.
- Q having Boxing as hobby sit second to right of R, who sit third to right of S, that means R likes Badminton.
- P sit third to left of Q.
- V sit third to right of one likes Dancing, who sit second to right of P, which means V likes Football.
- The one who likes singing sits second to left of the one like Drawing, that means S likes Drawing.
Based on above given information we have:
Clearly, we don’t know exact position of the one whose hobby is Cricket.
Hence, statement I is not sufficient alone.
From II:
We have:
- Q sits third to left of S, who sits second to right of the one who likes Singing.
- P sits third to left Q, who like Boxing.
- The one who likes Football sit third to left of P.
- U sits second to left of R, who sits second to left of the one who likes Boxing.
- The one likes Boxing sits immediate right of W.
- T likes Singing and sits third to left of the one who likes Cricket, that means U likes Cricket.
Based on above given information we have:
Clearly, we don’t know hobby of the R, who sits second to right of the one who likes Cricket.
Hence, statement II is not sufficient alone.
From I and II:
After combining both statements we have:
Clearly, R (Badminton) sits second to right of U (Cricket).
Hence, Statement I and II together sufficient.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
3) Answer: D
From I:
- S sits third to right of R.
- Neither S nor R sits at end of the row, that means we have two possible place for S, in case (1) S sits second from left end, in case (2) S sits second from right end.
- Two person sits between Q and P, who neither sits at end nor sits adjacent to R.
- T sits second to left of P and sits facing opposite direction of S.
Based on above given information we have:
Clearly, direction of facing of T, S, U and Q is not known.
Thus, required result can’t be determined.
Hence, statement I is not sufficient alone.
From II:
We have:
- P sits second to right of T.
- Either of them sits at end of the row, that means we have we have four possible place for P, in case (1) P sits at left end, in case (2) P sits third from left end, in case (3) P sits at right end, in case (4) P sits third from right end.
- S sits third to right of R, who sits facing south, that means R sits second from right end.
- U sits second to left of Q, who sits immediate left of R, that means case (3) & case (4) are not valid.
- U and P doesn’t sit together, that means case (2) is not valid.
Based on above given information we have:
Clearly, direction of facing of P, S and U are not known.
Thus, result can’t be determined.
Hence, statement II is not sufficient alone.
From I and II:
Clearly, both the statements are independent statement as P sits on end of row in statement II which contradict statement I.
Thus, we can’t compare both statements.
Hence, statement I and II together are not sufficient.
Hence, option D is correct choice.
4) Answer: A
From I:
We have:
- The one who works in TCS is unmarried sister of H, who works in Wipro.
- The one who works in RBI is married to H and is sister-in-law of P, that means P works in TCS.
- The one who works in HP is married to J and is daughter-in-law of M.
- The one who works in SBI is son of J, as only six members are there in family, that means M must be married to H and J is son of M.
- D is one of the married member of the family, that means D must married to J.
- As, only left organization is PNB, thus J must works in PNB.
Based on above given information we have:
Clearly, J works in PNB, who is father of the one who works in SBI.
Hence, statement I alone is sufficient.
From II:
We have:
- J is father of W and is married to the one who works in HP, that means the one who works in HP is mother of W.
- J is only child of the one who is brother of P.
- M is sister-in-law of P, who works in TCS, that means M must be mother of J.
- The one who works in HP is mother of the one who works in SBI, that means W works in SBI.
- W is grandson of the one who works in RBI.
- H is married to M.
- H neither works in RBI nor PNB, that means M must work in SBI.
Based on above given information we have:
Clearly, organization of J is not known.
Hence, statement II alone is not sufficient.
Directions (5-7):
We have:
- B has 121 coins, she takes 18 coins and give remaining to her only son, who likes Mango, that means B is mother of the one who likes Mango.
- M, who likes Mango takes 12 coins and gives the remaining to his nephew H, that means number of coins to H is 95.
- H takes 8 coins and gives the rest to his father who likes Litchi, that means number of coins to the one who likes Litchi is 83.
- The one who likes Papaya is married to B and takes remaining 72 coins from the one who likes Litchi, since B is married to the one who likes Papaya, that means the one who likes Papaya is father of M and remaining coin with the one who likes Litchi is 11.
- The one who likes Cheery is only married child of B, who likes Banana, since the one who likes Cheery is only married child of B and M is only son of B, thus the one who likes Cheery is mother of H.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- The one who likes Apple is sibling of R, who is mother of the one who likes Orange.
- R gives 2/3rd of coin to her daughter-in-law.
- The one who likes Guava is married to the one who likes Orange, as only three married couples are there in family of eight members, thus R must likes Cheery and H likes Orange.
- K gives 56 coins to G, who is unmarried member of the family, that means G must likes Apple and K likes Papaya.
- Since K gives 56 coins to that means K has 16 coins remaining.
- The one who likes Cheery takes 3/8th coin from G, that means remaining coin with G is 35.
- Since, R gives 2/3rd of coin to her daughter-in-law, that means the one who likes Guava has 14 coins.
- Difference of value of coin from K to E is less than 4, that means E must have 14 coins.
- P is one of the male member of the family, that means P must married to R.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement as follow:
5) Answer: E
Clearly, the one who has 8 coins is Nephew of the one who likes Apple.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
6) Answer: E
Clearly, total coin to the one who likes Papaya = 16.
Thus, required square root = √16= 4.
The one who likes papaya is father-in-law of P.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
7) Answer: A
Clearly, E is daughter-in-law of the one who likes Cheery.
Hence, option A is correct choice.
Directions (8-10):
8) Answer: B
We have: “H7J5UQE2”.
After applying condition II, we have:
H7$5%QE2
Again, after applying condition V, we have:
&Y$Z%Y^B
Thus, required code = “&Y$Z%Y^B”.
Hence, option B is correct choice.
9) Answer: E
We have: “E3V8AH9Q”.
After applying condition IV, we have:
E3V₹AH9Q
Again, after applying condition V, we have:
EXV₹AX9Q
Again, after applying condition VI, we have:
£XV₹AX9£
Thus, required code = “£X@₹#XT£”.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
10) Answer: D
We have: U2HVEP59
After applying condition IV, we have:
U2H₹EP59
Again, after applying condition V, we have:
UBH₹EB59
Thus, required code = “$B&₹^BZT”.
Hence, option D is correct choice.
