View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

D

Why this answer is correct

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.

  1. 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 whose roll number is 7.

  1. 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

 

  1. 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.

  1. 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, D is sitting at the left corner of the bench 2.

Answer: (d)D.

A

Why this answer is correct

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.

  1. 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 whose roll number is 7.

  1. 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

 

  1. 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.

  1. 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, A is sitting opposite to the one who is sitting left to I.

Why this answer is correct

A certain number of persons are sitting in a row facing south direction.

1)Two persons sit between A and D. A is in the right of D.

  1. One person sits between B and A.

  2. B is the fourth person from the right end. 

  3. H sits second to the left of D, who sits exactly between E and B.

  4. Neither A nor H sits at any extreme ends. 

  5. G sits immediate left of E. Hence Case 1 gets canceled.

  6. Number of persons to the left of G is equal to the number of persons to the right of B.

  7. F sits at extreme end, which is closest to B.

Therefore, the final arrangement is, 

Hence, E sits third to the left of H.
