Answers :
Directions (1-5):
We have:
- Weights of only two people are less than the one who works in HDFC.
- The weight of the one who works in HDFC is 64kg.
- One person sits between the one who works in HDFC and Jonty
- Â The weight of the one who works in CBI is just more than Jonty.
- The weight of the one who works in CBI is more than Mike, who works in ICICI
Based on the above given information we have:
Case (1) is not valid as the weight of the one who works in CBI is more than Mike.
Again, we have:
- The weight of Roy is 64kg and is just more than the one who works in UCO bank, that means
- The weight of Madhu is more than Anuj and Roy but not as much as that of Joy and Hari.
- Madhu doesn’t work in CBI.
- Weight of Joy is not the highest.
- The weight of Hari is more than Tom but not as much as Ravi, whose weight is 96kg.
- The weight of Anuj is more than Mohit, who works in BOB, thus the weight of Hari, Joy and Ravi must be more than Madhu, which means Madhu sits fourth from the left end.
- The weight of the one who works in PNB Â is just less than the one whose weight is 96kg.
- Hari neither works in SBI nor PNB, which means Joy must work in PNB and Ravi sits at the left end.
- As the weight of Anuj is more than Mohit
Based on the above given information we have:
Case (2b) is not valid as the weight of Roy is 64kg and is just more than the one who works in UCO bank.
Again, we have:
- The one who sits to the immediate left of Madhu is 84kg and sits at a gap of two people from the one whose weight is 72kg, which means the weight of Hari is 84kg.
- The weight of Tom is less than the one whose weight is 72kg but more than the one whose weight is 48kg
- Two persons sit between the one who works in SBI and the one who works in ICICI
Based on the above given information we have the final arrangement as follows:
Case (2a) is not valid as the Weight of Tom is less than the one whose weight is 72kg and case (2c) is not valid as two persons sit between the one who works in SBI and the one who works in ICICI.
