B.Two
C.Three
D.More than three
E.None
Answers :
We have:
- P sits four places to the right of H, who is the father of R.
- Neither P nor H sits at the end of the row.
- R sits fourth to the right of B, who sits facing south.
- B neither sits adjacent to H nor sits at the end of the row.
Based on the above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- H’s wife sits three places to the left of Q, who neither sits adjacent to R nor sits adjacent to P.
- At least two persons sit between H and H’s wife.
- B is male.
- The number of persons sits between H and D is two more than the number of persons sits between Q and B.
- Q is the son of R’s brother.
- Q is the only son of D and is an unmarried member of the family.
- B is married to D.
- G’s wife sits second to the right of Q and is the daughter of D.
- P is neither a male member nor married to G.
- G’s father-in-law sits third to the left of G, who sits facing south.
- W’s grandfather sits on the immediate right of W.
Since, H is the grandfather of W, thus W sits facing south.
- The persons at the end of the row sit facing in opposite directions to each other.
- Persons adjacent to B sit facing in opposite direction.
- P’s daughter and P sit facing in the same direction.
Since, R is the only possible daughter of P, thus R is a female and P sits facing north.
Based on the above given information we have the final arrangement as follows:
Case (2) is invalid as G’s wife sits second to the right of Q and is the daughter of D. Case (3) & Case (4) are invalid as the number of person between H and D is two more than the number of persons between Q and B is invalid. Case (5) is invalid as G’s father-in-law sits third to the left of G, who sits facing south.
1) Answer: D
2) Answer: A
3) Answer: C
4) Answer: E
5) Answer: E
According to the statements, it is understood that the centre and state governments are not giving enough priority in developing the education system of government-run schools. They need fund infusion and all the facilities to be provided to government–run schools have to be among the highest national priorities. Therefore, both the conclusions follow.
Directions (6-9) :
Logic:
1st element →Place value of the first letter of the word + 2 (According to the alphabetical positions of the letters). Then the place value is replaced by its corresponding letter according to the English alphabetical order.
2nd element → Number of consonants
3rd element →Place value of the last letter of the word + 2 (According to the alphabetical positions of the letters). Then the place value is replaced by its corresponding letter according to the English alphabetical order.
Example – LOVE – L= 12+2 = 14 (N), 2 Consonants so Number will be 2 and E = 5 +2 =7 (G) i.e LOVE= N2G
“chief”- E3H
“How “- J2Y
“Vadodara” – X4C
“love is blind” – N2G K1U D4F
