Question 1

Five books labelled B, G, N, P and T are kept one above the other(Not necessarily in the same order). Only one book is kept between N and G. B is just above P. B is above N. G is not above N. Which book is at the top ?

Show explanation Expand Question

The answer is C. B

We can start by eliminating some of the answer choices. We know that G cannot be at the top because it is below N. We also know that P cannot be at the top because B is just above P. This leaves us with B and T.

Since B is above N and there is only one book between N and G, this means that B must be the top book. T must therefore be the second book.

Here is a possible arrangement of the books:

T B N P G

Question 2

Five articles K,L,P,R and T, are kept one above the other(not necessarily in the same order). K is just above T and just below R. L is just above P and just below T. Which article is at the second position from the bottom ?

Show explanation Expand Question

The answer is D. L

Since K is just above T and just below R, and L is just above P and just below T, then the only possible arrangement of the articles is:

R K T L P

Therefore, the article at the second position from the bottom is L.

Question 3

Six boys R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are sitting in a row facing towards the north (Not necessarily in the same order). There are three boys between R4 and R2. R4 is not at any of the end. Only three boys are between R1 and R5. R3 is towards the left of R6. R1 is at one of the end. R2 is towards the right of R4. Which of the following statements is correct ?

Show explanation Expand Question

Since R3 is towards the left of R6 and R1 is at one of the end, then R1 must be the leftmost boy.

Since R4 is not at any of the end and there are three boys between R4 and R2, then R2 must be the rightmost boy.

Since there are only three boys between R1 and R5, then R5 must be the third boy from the left.

This means that R4 must be the second boy from the left.

Therefore, the following statement is correct:

B. R4 is second to the left of R6.

The other statements are all incorrect:

  • A. R1 is towards the right of R4. This is incorrect because R1 is the leftmost boy and R4 is the second boy from the left.
  • C. R5 is at one of the end. This is incorrect because R5 is the third boy from the left.
  • D. R3 is to the immediate right of R6. This is incorrect because R4 is between R3 and R6.

Here is a possible arrangement of the boys:

R1 R3 R5 R4 R2 R6

Question 4

Six cars labelled D, F, H, J, L and N are parked around a circular path facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order). H is third to the right of N. J is to the immediate left of D, F is second to the left of N, D is second to the left of F, Which car is parked second to the right of H ?

Show explanation Expand Question

Since H is third to the right of N, then N is the third car to the left of H.

Since J is to the immediate left of D, and D is second to the left of F, then J is the third car to the left of F.

Therefore, the six cars must be arranged in the following order:

F J D L N H

Therefore, the car parked second to the right of H is L.

The other answer choices are incorrect:

  • A. F is not parked second to the right of H. It is parked first to the right of H.
  • B. N is not parked second to the right of H. It is parked third to the right of H.
  • C. J is not parked second to the right of H. It is parked third to the right of F.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. L.

Question 5

Five tables T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 are kept one above the other (Not necessarily in the same order). Number of tables above T4 are the same as the number of tables below T5. T3 is just above T1. T5 is at the bottom. There are two tables between T2 and T5. Which of the following is the correct position of T1 ?

Show explanation Expand Question

Since T5 is at the bottom, and there are two tables between T2 and T5, then T2 must be the third table from the bottom.

Since T3 is just above T1, and there are two tables between T2 and T5, then T1 must be the second table from the bottom.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. T1 is just above T5.

The other answer choices are incorrect:

  • B. T1 is not just below T5. It is just above T5.
  • C. T1 is not three places below T2. It is just above T5.
  • D. T2 is not two places below T1. It is the third table from the bottom, and T1 is the second table from the bottom.

Here is a possible arrangement of the tables:

T5 T1 T3 T2 T4

Question 6

Five balls L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 are kept one above the other (not necessarily in the same order). L1 is just above L5 and just below L4. L2 is just above L3 and just below L5. How many balls are above L2 ?

Show explanation Expand Question

L2 is just below L5, and L1 is just above L5, so L1 must be above L2.

L2 is also just above L3, so L3 must be below L2.

This means that there are 3 balls above L2: L1, L4, and L5.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Here is a possible arrangement of the balls:

L4 L1 L5 L2 L3

Question 7

Six sellers G, H, J, K, C and M are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order). M is second to the left of C. H is to the immediate right of G. K is second to the right of J. C is to the immediate left of K. Which of the following pair of sellers represents the immediate neighbours of J and G respectively ?

Show explanation Expand Question

Since M is second to the left of C, and C is to the immediate left of K, then M must be to the immediate left of K.

Since H is to the immediate right of G, and K is second to the right of J, then H must be to the immediate right of J.

Therefore, the correct pair of sellers who represent the immediate neighbours of J and G respectively is CM, KH.

The other answer choices are incorrect:

  • A. CK, HM is incorrect because M is to the immediate left of K, not to the immediate right of K.
  • B. CM, HM is incorrect because H is to the immediate right of J, not to the immediate left of J.
  • C. KH, MC is incorrect because M is to the immediate left of K, not to the immediate right of K.

Here is a possible arrangement of the sellers:

CM K H J G

Question 9

Six friends, C, E, G, I K and M, are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre and at equal distance from each other (not necessarily in the same order). E is second to the right of C, K is to the immediate right of G. G and I are facing towards each other. Moving towards the left of I, how many friends are sitting between I and M ?

Show explanation Expand Question

E is second to the right of C.

G and I are facing towards each other. So, this case is possible only when G is sitting second left of C.

K is to the immediate right of G.
