Answers:

Direction (1-5):

Explanation:

• The one person who lives lowermost floor has 20 chocolates.
• Bharu lives between Watson and the one who lives immediately below the vacant floor.
• The vacant floor is an odd numbered floor.
• Bharu lives immediately below the floor Dinesh lives.
• Hence Dinesh lives immediately below the vacant floor.
• From above conditions, vacant floor is either floor number 5 or floor number 7.
• Now we have 2 Cases.

• Virat lives immediately below Aman.
• Aman does not live either lowermost or topmost floor.
• From the condition Case 1 was dropped.
• Aman lives either fllor number3 or floor number 2.
• Sharu lives either floor number 1 or floor number 3.
• Here case 2 derive further two cases-2a and 2b.

• Viart has 4 chocolates more than the chocolate Aman has.
• In case 2(b) Virat has 20 chocolates.
• Hence Aman has 16 chocolates.

• The number of chocolates does Watson has more than 17 and less than 24.
• Dinesh and Watson has the number of chocolates is in prime number.
• From the condition Watson has either 19 or 23 chocolates.
• But Bharu has maximum number of chocolates but is not 24.
• Then Watson has 19 chocolates.
• The one who lives immediately below the vacant floor has 6 chocolates less than the chocolate Bharu has.
• Hence Bharu has either 21 or 22 or 23.
• Difference between chocolates of Dinesh and Bharu is 6. But Dinesh has prime number of chocolates.
• From above statement, the number of chocolates in the floor is either multiple by 4 or prime number.
• Therefore Bharu has 23 chocolates.
• 23-6=17 is a prime number.
• Hence Dinesh has 17 chocolates.

• Sharu has more number of chocolates than Aman.
• Bharu has maximum number of Chocolates.
• 16>Sharu<23.
• The number of chocolates in the floor is either multiple by 4 or prime number.
• No two persons have same number of chocolates.
• From the condition Case 2(b) was dropped.

• The difference between the number of chocolates having by Aman and Bharu is not 19.
• The difference between the number of chocolates having by Aman and Dinesh is neither 3 nor 5.
• Virat has 4 chocolates more than compare to Aman.
• Minimum number of chocolates is not less than 8.
• Therefore the possibility of virat is 16, 13 and 12.
• Let’s assume Virat has 16 chocolates means Aman has 12 chocolates.
• But Dinesh has 17. Differnce between Aman and Dinesh is 5.
• It’s not satisfied the above condition.
• Then Virat has 13 means Aman has 9. Nine is not a prime number and not divided by 4. Condition is not satisfied.
• Let assume Virat has 12 chocolates means Aman has 8 chocolates.
• The difference between the number of chocolates of Aman and Bharu is not 19.
• The difference between the number of chocolates of Aman and Dinesh is neither 3 nor 5.
• Above the conditions are satisfied.

• Only three persons appointed between the one who got the job from SBI and the one who got the job from HDFC.
• Only one person appointed between F and the one who got the job in Indian bank.
• F appointed in the month which has more than 30 days.
• Hence F appointed either in March or October.
• Now we have 2 cases

• Both G and C appointed in the months after the one who got the job from Indian bank.
• G appointed immediately before C.
• So, Case 2 was dropped.
• But case 1 derived 2 cases

• Only two persons appointed between G and the one who got the job in UCO bank.
• D appointed immediately after the one who got the job in UCO bank

• Only two people appointed between D and E.
• Hence case 1(a) was dropped.

• A appointed immediately before the one who got the job in Canara bank.

• C does not get the job in TMB.
• F appointed in TMB.
