Answers :
Directions (1-4) :
We have:
- At most two boxes are kept below the box B02.
- The box which contains Book is kept just below the box B02.
That means, in case (1) the box B02 is kept third from bottom, in case (2) the box B02 is kept second from bottom.
- The box whose weight is 16kg is kept three boxes away from the box which contains Book.
- The box B01 and the box whose weight is 16kg are kept together.
- The box B01 is kept two boxes away from the box which contains Pen.
- Weight of the box which contains Pen is 18kg.
That means, in case (1) & case (2a) the box which contains Pen is kept second from top, in case (2b) the box which contains Pen is kept third from top.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- The box B03 is neither kept adjacent to the box B01 nor kept adjacent to the box B02.
- The box B03 is kept three places away from the box which contains Toy.
- Weight of the box B03 is 14kg.
That means, in case (1a) the box B03 is kept at bottom, in case (1b) & case (2a) the box B03 is kept at top, in case (2b) the box B03 is kept second from top.
- The box which contains mobile is kept two boxes below the box which contains Ball, whose weight is 15kg.
- Neither the box B01 nor the box B02 contains Ball.
That means, in case (1a) the box which contains Ball is kept at top, case (1b), case (2a) & case (2b) are not valid.
- Sum of weight of the box B05 and the box which contains Mobile is twice the weight of the box which contains cup.
- Weight of the box which contains cup is even number.
Since, all the possible weights are 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 & 19kg.
Thus, all possible combinations are (12, 16, 14), that means weight of the box which contains Cup is 14kg and weight of the box B05 is 12kg.
Since, weight of one of the box is 12kg and one of the box is 18kg, thus all the possible weights are 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18kg.
Based on above given information we have:
Case (1b), case (2a) & case (2b) are not valid as the box which contains mobile is kept two boxes below the box which contains Ball, whose weight is 15kg.
Again, we have:
- The box B07 is kept two boxes away from the box B06, whose weight is not an odd number.
That means, weight of the box B06 is 16kg and the box B07 is kept at top.
Since, no two boxes having consecutive weight are kept together, thus weight of the box B01 is 13kg.
Based on above given information we have final

6) Answer: A
Directions (7-8) :
7) Answer: C
In the above question we have to find the result of the above statement.
For I-This cannot be the result because if a person does not have Aadhar, he/she will not get government help in treatment but can take treatment of TB without Aadhar.
For II-This could be the result as mentioned in the given statement that patients need Aadhar card to get benefits under government scheme.
For III-This also could be the result because it is clear from the given statement that to get benefits of the scheme, verification of Aadhar will be required.
For IV-This is not the result of the given statement because this statement states that cases of TB patients increased in India now which is not directly related to the statement.
8) Answer: C
For I- This argument does not holds strong because this initiative is for girls to get benefited initially but it is not like that education will be made free for everyone.
For II-This argument holds strong because a law/scheme or bill should not be for any particular gender but it should be for the one who really need it.
For III-This is also strong because gender should not be the criterion for the free education. It is the poor who should get the benefits.
