Directions (1-5):

We have:

• The one who works in HP sits third from right end.
• The one who works in Wipro sits immediate left of the one who works in HP, that means we have two possible direction for the one who works in HP, in case (1) the one who works in HP sits facing north, in case (2) the one who works in HP sits facing South.
• Three person sits between U and the one who works in Wipro.
• W, who works in HCL, sits second to left of U, that means we have three possible place for W, in case (1) U sits facing south, in case (2a) U sits facing North, in case (2b) U sits facing south.

Based on above given information we have:

Again, we have:

• The one who works in Flipkart sits third to right of T, who sits adjacent to the one who works in HP.
• Three person sits between the one who works in Flipkart and V, who neither work in HP nor sits adjacent to U.
• Q sits second to right of V, who sits facing south, that means we have four possible place for T, in case (1a) T sits immediate right of the one who works in HP, in case (1b), case (2a) & case (2b) T sits immediate left of the one who works in HP.
• P neither works in Wipro nor sits at end of the row.

Hence, option B is correct choice.

10) Answer: C

We have:

CW3, EU4, HP7, MG22, ?

We have three different series in above case:

C, E, H, M, T (+2, +3, +5, +7)

U, S, N, E, R (-2, -5, -9, -13)

3, 4, 7, 22, 87 (x1 + 1, x2 – 1, x3 + 1, x4 – 1)

Thus, required series = TR87

Hence, statement C is correct choice.
