1) As many persons are senior to C as junior to F who is senior to at least five persons.

2) Only three persons are junior to the one who likes Yellow.

3) C is not the Clerk in the bank.

4) The one who likes Green is the MD.

5) A does not like Yellow

6. Three posts are there between A and H.

7) A is junior to F but senior to C

8) H likes Black.

From the given information,

1. B is the sister of E. C is the father of G, who is spouse of A.

2. F is the son of D, who is the mother of G, who is female.

3. E is the son of A.

4. There are two couples present at the gathering.

Hence, in the gathering F is the brother-in-law of A.

From the given information,

People = A, B, C, D, E, P, Q, R, S, and T

Direction = North and South

1. B is sitting third to the right of the person who is facing S.

(It means that B is either sitting at the rightmost end or he is sitting at the second seat from the right end.)

2. P is facing the person who is sitting to the immediate right of B.

(As someone is sitting to the immediate right of B, implies, case I is not true. Thus, P is sitting fourth to the left of S.)

3. T is sitting second to the left of S.

4. D is sitting second to the left of the person who is facing R.

(The person sitting second to the right of D must be sitting on one of the first three seats from the right end. Both the immediate neighbors of B are not facing R, which implies, B is facing R as it is the only possibility.)

5. E is not sitting next to D.

(Implies, E is sitting opposite P.)

6. A is sitting to the immediate right of the person who is facing Q.

(There is only one seat where we can place Q i.e. opposite D. A is sitting between B and D. Also, now that only C is left to be placed, we can place him opposite S.)

Hence, C is sitting opposite S.

People = A, B, C, D, E, P, Q, R, S, and T

Direction = North and South

1. B is sitting third to the right of the person who is facing S.

(It means that B is either sitting at the rightmost end or he is sitting at the second seat from the right end.)

2. P is facing the person who is sitting to the immediate right of B.

(As someone is sitting to the immediate right of B, implies, case I is not true. Thus, P is sitting fourth to the left of S.)

3. T is sitting second to the left of S.

4. D is sitting second to the left of the person who is facing R.

(The person sitting second to the right of D must be sitting on one of the first three seats from the right end. Both the immediate neighbors of B are not facing R, which implies, B is facing R as it is the only possibility.)

5. E is not sitting next to D.

(Implies, E is sitting opposite P.)

6. A is sitting to the immediate right of the person who is facing Q.

(There is only one seat where we can place Q i.e. opposite D. A is sitting between B and D. Also, now that only C is left to be placed, we can place him opposite S.)

Here R is facing B and Q is sitting second to the right of R.

Hence, Q is the correct answer.

People = A, B, C, D, E, P, Q, R, S, and T

Direction = North and South

1. B is sitting third to the right of the person who is facing S.

(It means that B is either sitting at the rightmost end or he is sitting at the second seat from the right end.)

(As someone is sitting to the immediate right of B, implies, case I is not true. Thus, P is sitting fourth to the left of S.)

3. T is sitting second to the left of S.

4. D is sitting second to the left of the person who is facing R.

(The person sitting second to the right of D must be sitting on one of the first three seats from the right end. Both the immediate neighbors of B are not facing R, which implies, B is facing R as it is the only possibility.)

5. E is not sitting next to D.

(Implies, E is sitting opposite P.)

(There is only one seat where we can place Q i.e. opposite D. A is sitting between B and D. Also, now that only C is left to be placed, we can place him opposite S.)

Except for D, all are sitting at extreme ends.

Hence, D does not belong to the group.

Given statements,

S = U ≤ K < W, X < Q < S

On combining, we get:

X < Q < S = U ≤ K < W

Conclusions**:**

I. U < X → False (X < Q < S = U → X < U i.e. U > X).

II. W > Q → True (Q < S = U ≤ K < W → Q < W i.e. W > Q).

Hence, the correct answer is only conclusion II follows.

Given:

Statements:

H < Y < U ≥ Q = N > R; S = T ≥ G = V < H 

S = T ≥ G = V < H < Y < U ≥ Q = N > R

Conclusions:

I. U > V - True (U > Y > H > V)

II. S ≥ Y - False (S = T ≥ G = V < H < Y, no relation between S and Y)

Hence, the answer is Only I follows.

Let us check each option:

1. E > F > M < X; S > M > K; K > Y < B → E > K; relation between S and B can’t be determined.

2. E > F = M < X; S > M > K; K > Y < B → E > K; relation between S and B can’t be determined.

3. E > F > M < X; S > M > K; K > Y > B → E > K; S > B as required.

4. E > F < M < X; S > M < K; K > Y ≥ B → relation between E and K can’t be determined; relation between S and B can’t be determined.

5. E > F < M < X; S > M > K; K > Y = B → relation between E and K can’t be determined; S > B.  

Hence, >, >, > are to be placed so that both E > K and S > B hold definitely true.

Putting all the signs step by step in place of & and @ we get:

R ≥ P > T ≥ S > K = L; W ≥ B < S - (R ≥ P > T ≥ S > B ≤ W) - R > W is False

R ≥ P > T < S > K = L; W > B < S - (R ≥ P > T < S > B < W) - R > W is False

R ≥ P > T = S > K = L; W < B < S -  (R ≥ P > T = S > B > W) - R > W is True

R ≥ P > T ≤ S > K = L; W > B < S -  **(**R ≥ P > T ≤ S > B < W) - R > W is False

R ≥ P > T ≤ S > K = L; W ≤ B < S -  **(**R ≥ P > T ≤ S > B ≥ W) - R > W is False

Hence, the correct answer is '=, <'.

Given: Ten students are sitting on two parallel benches, student sitting on bench 1 are facing south and students sitting on bench 2 are facing north.

Bench 1: A, B, H, E and J

Bench 2: D, I, C, G and F

1) A is sitting at one of the extreme ends.

2) One student is sitting between A and H.

3. I is sitting to the left to the one who is sitting opposite to H.

4) There is 1 person between I and the one one whose roll number is 7.

5. G and C are immediate neighbours.

6) C is sitting left to the G but do not have roll number 7.

7) Roll number of E is 9.

8) Roll number of F is 5 and is sitting to the right of one who is sitting opposite to E.

9) Sum of roll numbers of A and E is 13.

Roll number of E is 9

→ Roll number of  A is 4

10) Sum of roll numbers of A and B is equals to 10. 

→ Roll number of B is 6

 

11. D is sitting opposite to the one whose roll number is 4.

Here, possibility 2 will be cancelled as place opposite to A is already occupied.

12. B is facing the one whose roll number is 3.

13) J has the last roll number. 

14)  Difference between roll numbers of the people sitting in extreme ends of bench 2 is 3.

Now, we have two possibilities to satisfy this condition:

i) Roll number of D is 2, or

ii) Roll number of D is 8

15)  The one with lesser roll number among these two is sitting at the left end of the bench. 

Now, we can conclude that, roll number of D must be 2.

16) Sum of roll numbers of the students sitting at bench one is 19 more than the sum of roll numbers of students sitting at bench 2.

So, the above shown arrangement is our final arrangement.

Hence, the roll number of B is 6.
