Value of X Value of Y
1) Answer: C
2) Answer: C
3) Answer: C
Value of X Value of Y
4) Answer: D
Value of X Value of Y
5) Answer: B
Direction (6-10) :
We have:
- The box R is kept only with the box marked BVII in the same column, that means the box R must be kept in column C.
- Weight of the box marked BVII is neither odd number nor perfect square.
- The box marked BVII is kept immediate south-east of the box D.
- The box which is marked BXI is kept two places away from the box D, whose weight is neither a prime number nor perfect square, that means in case (1) the box R is kept at 1C and the box marked BXI is kept at 1B, in case (2) the box R is kept at 2C and the box marked BXI is kept at 2D.
- The box whose weight is 2kg is kept immediate north-east of the box S, whose weight is neither 9kg nor kept adjacent to the box whose weight is 13kg.
- Weight of the box M is 2kg and is neither kept adjacent to the box R nor kept adjacent to the box marked BIX, that means in case (1a) the box M is kept at 2B, in case (1b) M is kept at 3D, in case (2) M is kept at 3B.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- The box marked BI is kept two places below the box whose weight is 16kg and is kept immediate south-west of the box marked BXII, that means in case (1a), case (1b) & case (2a) the box BI is kept at 2A, in case (1c), case (1d) & case (2b) the box marked BI is kept at 1A.
- The box marked BXII is kept two places away from the box whose weight is 13kg, since the box S is not kept adjacent to the box whose weight is 13kg, thus in case (1b) & case (2a) the box whose weight is 13kg is kept at 1B, in case (1c) & case (2b) the box whose weight is 13kg is kept at 2D and case (1a) & case (1d) are not valid.
- The box E is kept immediate south-west of the box whose weight is 8kg, which is kept immediate west of the box marked BIII, that means in case (1b) & case (1c) the box E is kept at 1B, in case (2a) & case (2b) the box E is kept at 1A.
- The box P is neither kept adjacent to the box D nor adjacent to the box marked BIII.
- Weight of the box P is 14kg and is kept immediate north-west of the box whose weight is 9kg, since weight of the box D and the box marked BVII is not a perfect square, that means in case (1c) the box P is kept at 2A and case (1b), case (2a) & case (2b) are not valid.
Based on above given information we have:
Case (1a) & case (1d) are not valid as the box marked BXII is kept two places away from the box whose weight is 13kg, case (1b), case (2a) & case (2b) are not valid as Weight of the box P is 14kg and is kept immediate north-west of the box whose weight is 9kg.
Again, we have:
- The box marked BVI is neither kept adjacent to the box marked BIII nor kept adjacent to the box P.
- The box H is kept adjacent to the box marked BVI and is immediate west of the box B, that means the box marked BVI is kept at 1C and weight of the box B is 13kg.
- The box G is neither kept adjacent to the box B nor its weight is 16kg.
- The box marked V is kept exactly between the box marked BIV and the box G, whose weight is 19kg, that means the box G is kept at 4A.
- The box marked BX is kept at any place above the box W, whose weight is 17kg, that means the box W is kept at 1D and the box marked BX is kept at 3D.
- As, only remaining box is K, thus box K is marked BX.
- The box marked BV and the box whose weight is 4kg are kept together, that means weight of the box R is 4kg.
- Since, only remaining weights are 7kg, 21kg and 3kg, as weight of the box D is not a prime number, thus weight of the box D is 21kg.
- Two boxes are kept between the box marked BII and the box whose weight is 7kg, that means weight of the box S is 7kg.
- Since, the box marked BIX is not kept adjacent to the box M, thus box V is marked BIX.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement:
6) Answer: B
Clearly, the boxes K, BIII & 17kg are kept together in column D.
Hence, option B is correct choice.
7) Answer: D
Clearly, the box whose weight is 14kg is kept immediate south-west of the box BVIII.
Hence, option D is correct choice.
8) Answer: A
Clearly, weight of the box marked BVI is 4kg.
Hence, option A is correct choice.
9) Answer: C
Clearly, combination C is correct choice.
Hence, option C is correct choice.
10) Answer: A
Clearly, weight of the box marked BX is 3kg.
Hence, option A is correct choice.
