Each of the shelves contains different number of books. Number of books in each shelf is given as below:
A game is being played by tossing three coins. Rearrangements of books are done on the basis of following condition:
Condition 1: If head appears in all the three coins, then books from shelf3 of cupboard P will be removed and equally divided among all the shelves of cupboard S.

Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
We have:
- Guru was born in 1992 but was neither born on Tuesday nor on Monday.
- The one who was born on Sunday was born in 1990.
- Guru and Monty was born in adjacent year.
That means, in case (1) Monty was born in 1993, in case (2) Monty was born in 1991.
- Age of the one who was born on Friday is multiple of 5.
Since, only such birth year is 1989 and 1994, thus in case (1a) & case (2a) the one who was born on Friday was born in 1994, in case (1b) & case (2b) the one who was born on Friday was born in 1989.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- Age of the one who was born on Wednesday is prime and was born three years before Sonu.
That means, in case (1a) & case (1b) Sonu was born in 1991, case (1b) & case (2b) are not valid.
- Two person was born between the one who was born on Monday and Hari.
- The one who was born on Monday was born just after Rinku’s birth year.
- Age of Hari is neither prime number nor was born on Tuesday.
That means, in case (1a) & case (1b) Rinku was born in 1990.
- At least three person was born between the one who Deep and the one who was born on Tuesday.
- Age of Deep is not an even number.
Since, neither Hari nor Guru was born on Tuesday, thus in case (1a)& case (1b) Monty was born on Tuesday and Deep was born in 1988.
Based on above given information we have:
Case (2a) & case (2b) Age of the one who was born on Wednesday is prime and was born three years before Sonu.
Again, we have:
- Payal was neither born on Saturday nor was born on Thursday.
- The one who was born on Thursday was born in any year after the one who was born on Saturday.
That means, in case (1b) Hari was born on Thursday and case (1a) is not valid.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement as follows:
Case (1a) is not valid as the one who was born on Thursday was born in any year after the one who was born on Saturday.
1) Answer: D
Clearly, only combination D is correct.
Hence, option D is correct choice.
2) Answer: A
Explanation:
Clearly, Hari was born just the one who was born on Tuesday.
Hence, option A is correct choice.
3) Answer: E
Clearly, both statement B and D are not true.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
4) Answer: E
Clearly, no person was born after the one who was born on Thursday.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
5) Answer: B
Clearly, age of Deep is 31 years.
Hence, option B is correct choice.
Directions (6-10) :
6) Answer: D
Clearly, result of the toss = HTH.
Thus, after applying condition 4, we have:
Number of books in Shelf 1 of cupboard R = (23 + 6) = 29
Number of books in Shelf 3 of cupboard P = 32
Required difference = (32 – 29) = 3
Hence, option D is correct choice.
7) Answer: B
Result of Rohit’s toss = HHH
Thus after applying condition 1, we have:
Number of books are as follows:
Shelf1: 28 42 23 59
Shelf2: 39 64 24 26
Shelf3: 0 53 72 56
Shelf4: 54 27 52 27
Again, we have:
Result of Hari’s toss = HTT
Thus, after applying condition 5, we have:
Number of books after rearrangement are as follows:
Shelf1: 41 42 23 59
Shelf2: 39 64 24 0
Shelf3: 0 53 72 56
Shelf4: 67 27 52 27
Then, required difference = (67 + 27 + 52 + 27) – (39 + 64 + 24) = 46
Hence, option B is correct choice.
8) Answer: E
Result of Shankar’s toss = TTH
Thus, after applying condition 2, we have:
Shelf 1: 28 42 32 51
Shelf 2: 39 64 33 18
Shelf 3: 32 53 81 48
Shelf 4: 54 0 52 19
Thus, total number of books in shelf 2 = (39 + 64 + 33 + 18) = 154
Hence, option E is correct choice.
9) Answer: A
Riya’s toss result = TTT
Thus, after applying the condition 3, we have:
Shelf 1: 28 42 23 51
Shelf 2: 0 64 24 18
Shelf 3: 32 66 85 61
Shelf 4: 54 27 52 19
Mohit’s toss result = HHH
Thus, after applying condition 1, we have:
Shelf 1: 28 42 23 59
Shelf 2: 0 64 24 26
Shelf 3: 0 66 85 69
Shelf 4: 54 27 52 27
Thus, difference of number of books in the shelf2 and shelf3 = (220 – 114) = 106
Hence, option A is correct choice.
