Answers and Explanations
Answer 1: (c) E gets in with two others and gets down alone after D and we know that D get down
at station 3, so option c.
Answer 2: (d) Since we know that E gets in at station 3 alone and there was nobody who gets in
from station 2, therefore D may be get in from station number 1 or base station. So, there is data
inadequate so the answer should be d, because C and F get in either at Base station or station I.
Answer 3: (d) we know that B and D work in the same office and they get down together at station
III. It means they cannot get in at station 3 so they also may get it from Base station or Station 1 . So
none of these is the best answer, so option d.
Answer 4: (c) We know that E gets in with two others and gets down alone after D, B and D work in
the same office and they get down together at station III . So E gets down after three stations. So the
best answer for the question is E gets down after three stations (I, II And III).
Answer 5 : (b) We know that D gets down at the next station at which F gets down and E gets in
with two others and gets down alone after D, B and D work in the same office and they get down
together at station III. From this it is clear that E gets down after two stations at which F gets down.
Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
B, M, T, R, K, H and D are travelling in a train compartment with III tier sleeper berth. Each of them
has a different profession of Engineer, doctor, Architect, Pharmacist, Lawyer, journalist and
Pathologist. They occupied two lower berths, three middle berths and two upper berths. B, the
Engineer is not on the upper berth. The architect is the only other person who occupies the same
type of berth as that of B.M and H are not on the middle berth and their professions are Pathologist
and Lawyer respectively. T is a Pharmacist. D is neither a journalist nor an Architect. K occupies
same type of berth as that of the Doctor.
Analysis From the above given information, we can identify all the persons along with their
professions accept R and K. From the given information R may be a Journalist or Architect. But if we
see the given information deeply, we come to know that 6he architect is the only other person who
occupies the same type of berth as that of B. Only person means no other person rather than the
architect and K occupies same type of berth as that of the Doctor. That means K cannot be architect
because he got the same berth as D. Lastly, we come to know that the K is a journalist and R is an
architect
Now berth vise arrangement is difficult to find than the profession vise manner But as we see the
given information we come to know that the architect is the only other person who occupies the
same type of berth as that of B and we know that B is not in the upper berth so he is in lower berth
with R. M and H are not on the middle berth and their professions are Pathologist and Lawyer
respectively. Clearly they are in Upper berth and the left persons are in Middle berth So, from the
above information, we can draw a combined chart of the personas with their professions and berths:
Answer 1: (a) Doctor Answer 2: (d) DKT Answer 3: (b) R-Lower-architect Answer 4: (d) None of
these Answer 5: (c) R

with their respective
professions.
Chart one and Chart two both are interconnected to each other some information from chart one is
helpful for chart 2 so students have to make both the charts together. From the statements N, the
wife of R studies HR and likes green, The one who studies Civil, likes grey colors and is a girl., and
Q, who is sister of N, studies Marketing and likes pink colors These three shows that Q, N, F are all
are girls
The following is the combined table for the given
question:
Analysis:
We know R left for Jaipur on Monday.
T left the next day of P.
According to the given information, if R is the first man to leave, then T, W, P leave after him in the
given consecutive order..
Now R left for Jaipur, P left for Chandigarh, S left for Kolkata and W left for Delhi.
Now T, V and Q can go to the following cities: Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore.
Q did not leave for Hyderabad and Bangalore, so Q left for Chennai.
T is not the last person to leave, so T left for Hyderabad and lastly V left for Bangalore on Sunday.
Monday R Jaipur
Tuesday P Chandigarh
Wednesday T Hyderabad
Thursday W Delhi
Friday S Kolkata
Saturday Q Chennai
Sunday V Bangalore
Days Games
Monday Sprinting
Tuesday Wrestling
Wednesday Football
Thursday Shooting
Friday Basketball
Key Points:
Only G amongst the seven friends studied in college X along with E.
Since there is no place is left in College X and F is not with B and does not belong to college Y,
therefore B belongs to college Y and F belongs to college Z
Since A is not in college Z therefore A is also in college Y.
We are given by the statement that, none of those studied in college Y is a teacher, so any one of
A,B,C is not a Teacher, i.e. so the one who is a Teacher would be D because we know that either
of E,F,G is not a Teacher.
