Directions (4-8)
We have:
- Q sits third to the right of one who likes Mussoorie.
- Only three person sits between Q and one who likes Manali, who doesn’t sit adjacent to one who likes Mussoorie.
- Person one who likes Mussoorie and Manali sits facing in opposite direction, which means we have two different possibilities, in case (1) One who likes Mussoorie sits facing center, in case (2) One who likes Mussoorie sits facing away from the center.
- A sits second to right of one who likes Manali.
- Only two person sits between A, who sits facing center, and one who likes Nainital, who doesn’t sit neighbor of one who likes Manali, that means Q and one who visits Nainital sits together.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- Only two person sits between A and one who likes Ladakh.
- D, who neither sits adjacent to one who likes Nainital nor A, sits third to the right of P.
- P, who neither likes Nainital nor sits adjacent to one who visits Ladakh, sits second to the left of one who likes Shimla.
- Person adjacent to one who likes Shimla, who neither sits adjacent to one who likes Nainital nor one who likes Mussoorie, sits facing in the same direction but opposite to direction facing of one who likes Shimla, that means in case (1) D sits second to left of one who likes Manali, in case (2) D likes Manali.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- T, who likes to visits Rishikesh, sits third to left of S, who neither visits Nainital nor sits adjacent to A, that means S likes to visit Ladakh.
- E sits third to the  left of C, who sits with T, that means in case (1) E likes Manali, in case (2) C likes Nainital.
- Only three person sits between E and one who likes Ooty.
- R, who doesn’t like Shimla, sits immediate left of one who likes Ooty, that means in case (1) R likes Nainital and Case (2) is not valid.
Based on above given information we have:
Case (2) is not valid as R, who doesn’t like Shimla, sits immediate left of one who likes Ooty.
Again, we have:
- Only one person sits between B and one who likes Kullu, which means P likes Kullu.
- Person adjacent to R sits facing in the same direction but opposite to R, that means R must sit facing away from the center.
- T and one who likes Kashmir, who doesn’t sit adjacent to one who likes Kullu, sits facing in the same direction, which means D must like to visit Kashmir.
Based on the above given information we have final arrangement as follow:
4) Answer: A
5) Answer: D
6) Answer: C
7) Answer: B
8) Answer: A
Directions (9-10) :
9) Answer: B
Clearly, Swiss challenge method often used in public sector projects in which interested party initiate a proposal for contract or bid for the project. Thus, assumption II is implicit.
Hence, option B is correct choice.
10) Answer: E
Clearly, both assumption I and assumption II is strongly implicit.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
