Answers :
Directions (1-4) :
1) Answer: B
We have:
CREW RISK MART COLD FARM
After adding ‘S’ before each word, we get:
SCREW SRISK SMART SCOLD SFARM
Thus, only three meaningful words are possible à SCREW, SMART & SCOLD.
Hence, option B is correct choice.
2) Answer: A
We have:
CREW RISK MART COLD FARM
After rearranging all the letters within words, we get:
WREC SRKI TRMA OLDC RMFA
Thus, “SRKI” appears third in dictionary.
Hence, option A is correct choice.
3) Answer: A
We have:
CREW RISK MART COLD FARM
After rearranging all the letters in alphabetical order we get:
AACCDEFIKLMMORRRRSTW
Seventh letter from left end -> F
Sixth letter from right end -> R
Thus, number of letters between ‘F’ and ‘R’ in an alphabetical series = 11.
Hence, option B is correct choice.
4) Answer: D
We have:
CREW RISK MART COLD FARM
After changing letters of the word, we get:
BQFV QJRJ LBQS BPKC EBQL
Thus, only one such word are possible.
Hence, option D is correct choice.
Directions (5-8) :
We have:
- D who likes Daisy lives at a gap of two floor from the one who is youngest among all.
- E was born in 1992 and lives on floor marked 5, as E is youngest among all, that means we have two possible place for D, in case (1) D lives on floor marked 2 and in case (2) D lives on floor marked 8.
- Neither the one who likes Daisy nor B lives on adjacent to vacant floor.
- The one who was born in 1994 lives at a gap of two floor from the one who likes Banana, who doesn’t lives adjacent floor of D.
- E and the one who was born in 1994 lives on adjacent floor, that means we have four possible floor for the one who was born in 1994, in case (1a) & case (2a) the one who was born in 1994 lives on floor just above E, in case (1b) & case (2b) the one who was born in 1994 lives on floor just below E.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- The difference between age of the one, who was born in 1994 and the one who likes Lotus is 11 years, that means the one who likes Lotus was born in 2005.
- One person lives between B and the one who likes Lotus, who lives on odd numbered floor.
- B doesn’t like Fruit but lives on any floor below D, that means in case (1a) & case (1b) B lives on floor marked 1, in case (2a) & case (2b) B lives on floor marked 7.
- Two person lives between C and the one who likes Rose.
- The one who likes Rose neither lives on adjacent floor of the one who likes Banana nor lives on lowermost floor.
- The one who likes Rose lives on adjacent floor of the one who was born in 2008, that means we have six possible floor for C, in case (1a) C lives on floor marked 3 and floor marked 4 is a vacant floor and case (1b), case (2a) & case (2b) are not valid.
- As, B doesn’t like fruit and only available flower is Lily, that means B likes Lilly.
Based on above given information we have:
Case (1a), case (2a) & case (2b) are not valid as Two person lives between C and the one who likes Rose.
Again, we have:
- Two person lives between the one, who likes Lily and the one, who likes Orange, that means E likes Orange.
- F neither likes Rose nor he was born in 2008.
- One person lives between F and A, that means we have two possible floor for F, in case (1a) F lives on floor marked 9 and in case (1c) F lives on floor marked 6.
- The difference in age of the one who likes Apple and A is 15 years, that means only possible combination is (1994 & 2009) for which difference of age is 15 years, thus in case (1a) the one who was born in 1994 likes Apple and case (1c) is not valid.
- Two person lives between H and the one who was born in 1995, that means D was born in 1995.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement as follow:
Case (1c) is not valid as difference in age of the one who likes Apple and A is 15 years.
5) Answer: C
Clearly, three person lives between the one who likes Mango and the vacant floor.
Hence, option C is correct choice.

Hence, option A is correct choice.

- P is father of R and is married to the one who likes DDLJ, which means J likes DDLJ and is married to P.

- The one who likes Baahubali and the one who likes KGF are siblings.
- D is unmarried member and is brother-in-law of the one who likes Baahubali, which means D is brother of the one who likes PK.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- Q is mother of H, who neither likes Kick nor likes KGF.
- The one who likes Kick is only son of Q, which means H is sister of the one who likes Kick.
- The one who likes OMG is son of H, which means H is married to M.
- P neither likes KGF nor likes Baby, which means P must likes Airlift.
- As, R is only daughter of P, that means M must be male member of the family.

9) Answer: A
Clearly, D is maternal-uncle of T (OMG).
