Direction (1-5): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

        Ten persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing five people in each row and the persons in one row facing the persons in another row. In row-1, P, Q, R, S and T are sitting and all of them are facing south while in row-2, A, B, C, D and E are sitting and all of them are facing north. The ages of the persons sitting in row-1 is multiple of 7 and the ages of the persons in row-2 is multiple of 9. The ages of the persons sitting in both rows are more than 10 and less than 70 years. The ages of the persons in each rows are in ascending order from left to right.

        The difference between the ages of T and A is 11 years. The one whose age is multiple of 5 faces the person who sits second to the right of C and either the one whose age is multiple of 5 or C sits at extreme ends of the line. Only two persons are sitting between P and the one whose age is perfect square of a number. R faces the person who sits second to the left of B. The difference between the ages of E and S is one year. E does not face S. None of the two persons’ ages will be same. R is 35 years elder than P. Neither R nor B is the eldest persons in the each row.

‘P&Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q’,

‘P$Q’ means ‘P is neither equal to nor smaller than Q’,

‘P#Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q’,

‘P%Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’ and

‘P?Q’ means ‘P is not greater than Q’

Answers:

Direction (1-5):

• The one whose age is multiple of 5 faces the person who sits second to the right of C and either the one whose age is multiple of 5 or C sits at extreme ends of the line.

• Only two persons are sitting between P and the one whose age is perfect square of a number. R faces the person who sits second to the left of B. Neither R nor B is the eldest persons in the each row.

• The difference between the ages of E and S is one year. E does not face S.
• So, Case-2(b) will be dropped.
• None of the two persons’ ages will be same.
• So, Case-2(a) will be dropped.

• The difference between the ages of T and A is 11 years. R is 35 years elder than P.
• So, Case-1(a) will be dropped.
