Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
The width of the boxes between box G and C is 45cm. Box C is in white and placed below of box G. Box G is placed immediately above of box A.
The width of the boxes between box I and box C is 60 cm.
Width of box A is half of the width of box D. Three boxes are placed between the two white boxes.
Two boxes are placed between box F and box H. The width of the boxes between Box F and Box E is 150cm. Box B is in blue and placed immediately below of Green box.
The width of the boxes between two blue colour boxes is 130cm. Two boxes are placed between the white and red boxes. Red colour box is placed immediately below of green colour box. So, Case 2 is not valid.
One of the white box is adjacent to green and red boxes. No same colour boxes are placed next to each other. More than one box is placed between the green colour boxes. The green coloured boxes are more than the red coloured boxes. So, the final arrangement is,
1) Answer: C
2) Answer: D
3) Answer: D
4) Answer: B
5) Answer: D
Directions (6-8) :
6) Answer: B
From II and III,
7) Answer: C
From statement I alone: Three persons live between Q and S. V lives immediately above S. One person lives between T and U, who lives immediately below of P. R neither lives on the topmost or bottommost floor
There are two possible cases:
From statement II alone: Two persons live between P and T.
From statement III alone: V lives 3rd to the below of Q. One person lives between P and Q.
So, by combining statements I and II, case 2 is not possible.
So, by combining statements I and III, Case 1 is not valid and in case 2 V lives immediately below of R, Q and P are in 5th and 7th floors respectively.
So, statement I and III alone is required to answer.
8) Answer: D
From statement I alone, as W sits 2nd to the left of Q. T sits 3rd to the right of R and neither of them sits to the left of Q, so
From statement II alone, no proper arrangement is possible.
From statement III alone, no proper arrangement is possible.
On combining statements I and II,
Clearly, 5 persons sit between U and V.
On combining statements II and III,
On combining statements I and III,
Clearly, 5 persons sit between U and V.
Either statements I and II both or statements I and III both is sufficient to answer the question.
Directions (9-10) :
9) Answer: B
From statement I alone, we can determine which day it will be a holiday
From statement II alone,
If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

Both the statement I and II are not sufficient to answer.
