Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

H

Why this answer is correct

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I

Five persons are facing outside while four are facing inside.

1) F is sitting third to the right of A who is facing inside.

  1. Three persons are sitting between F and E.

Since it is not clear E is sitting in which direction with respect to F, two cases will be formed.

Case 1:

Case 2:

3) C is sitting third to the right of H who is one of the neighbours of A.

  1. H is not facing outside.

In case 2, H can either sit to the right of A or to the left of A. So, two cases can be formed.

Case 1: 

Case 2(a):

Case 2(b):

5) Two persons are sitting between D and I who is adjacent to C.

6) E, who is not sitting adjacent to B, is one of the immediate neighbours of H.

E is the neighbour of H only in case 2(b). So other cases will be cancelled.

7) B and G are sitting immediate left of each other.

From point 6, E cannot sit adjacent to B, so the diagram will be as follows:

8) F is sitting to the immediate left of C while to the immediate right of D.

9) Not more than two persons facing the same direction are sitting together.

H sits third to the left of C.

Hence, If C and B exchange their positions, H will sit third to the left of C.

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

B

Why this answer is correct

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I

Five persons are facing outside while four are facing inside.

1) F is sitting third to the right of A who is facing inside.

  1. Three persons are sitting between F and E.

Since it is not clear E is sitting in which direction with respect to F, two cases will be formed.

Case 1:

Case 2:

3) C is sitting third to the right of H who is one of the neighbours of A.

  1. H is not facing outside.

In case 2, H can either sit to the right of A or to the left of A. So, two cases can be formed.

Case 1: 

Case 2(a):

Case 2(b):

5) Two persons are sitting between D and I who is adjacent to C.

6) E, who is not sitting adjacent to B, is one of the immediate neighbours of H.

E is the neighbour of H only in case 2(b). So other cases will be cancelled.

7) B and G are sitting immediate left of each other.

From point 6, E cannot sit adjacent to B, so the diagram will be as follows:

8) F is sitting to the immediate left of C while to the immediate right of D.

9) Not more than two persons facing the same direction are sitting together.

Third to the right of I - E; Second to the right of the one who is third to the right of I (E) - B.

Hence, B is sitting second to the right of the person who is third to the right of I.

Why this answer is correct

From the given information,

I) Box S is in fourth stack. V is place immediate above J and number of boxes below J are one more than the box above V. so here is  one condition will satisfy this will be as,

  5. EOption (e)

    NAOT, STON, NITY, SITT

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

NAOT, STON, NITY, SITT

Why this answer is correct

Given logic is; If the third letter from the left in each word taken it forms a meaningful word,

Given words are,

  1. ROKI, KENL, ROET, MNER.

The third letters from each word are: ROKI → K, KENL → N,  ROET → E, MNER → E. From these letters, the meaningful word formed is 'KNEE' 

2) SPDN, RION, PROT, SARU.

The third letters from each word are: SPDN → D, RION → O,  PROT → O,  SARU → R. From these letters, the meaningful word formed is 'DOOR'.

3) SORT, NGOK, CRSU, QREP

The third letters from each word are: SORT → R, NGOK → O,  →  CRSU → S, QREP → E. From these letters, the meaningful word formed is 'ROSE' 

4) ROMI, KEOL, ROST, MNTR

The third letters from each word are: ROMI → M, KEOL → O, ROST → S,  MNTR → T. From these letters, the meaningful word formed is 'MOST'

5) NAOT, STON, NITY, SITT

The third letters from each word are:  NAOT → O, STON → O, NITY → T, SITT → T. After arranging these letters we find 'OOTT' here we can see that no meaningful word is formed by these letters so it is the odd one.

Hence, Option 'five' is the odd one.

Why this answer is correct

Given word, 'GRAYHOUND',

When each vowel of this word is changed to the previous letter as in the English alphabetical series and each consonant is changed to the next letter as in the English alphabetical series then new arrangement is;

Here we can see the the one letter 'Z' is repeated.

Hence, in new arrangement one letter is repeated.
