Correct answer
5
Why this answer is correct
Given series:
(Left) P V % F # * O # % * G £ S I & A % F Y & J @ (Right)

Refer to the following letter series and answer the question that follows.
(Left) B E I L O Q S U D G N C F H K P R T V W M A J (Right)
How many letters are there in the English alphabetical order between the letter which second from the right end and the letter that is second from the left end of the series?
One
Two
Three
Four
Correct answer
Three
Why this answer is correct
Given series:
(Left) B E I L O Q S U D G N C F H K P R T V W M A J (Right)
Checking the positions:
Second from the left end = E
Second from the right end = A
In the English alphabet:
A, B C D, E
There are three letters (B, C, D) between A and E.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
In this question, statement is followed by two conclusions, numbered I and II. Find out which conclusion is true based on the given statement.
Statement:
D > G > R < Y = V
Conclusions:
I. D < Y
II. V > R
Only II is true
Both I and II are true
Neither I nor II is true
Only I is true
Correct answer
Only II is true
Why this answer is correct
Given
Statement:
D > G > R < Y = V
Conclusions:
I: D < Y → False (From the statement, D > G > R and Y > R, but no definite relationship can be established between D and Y.)
II: V > R → True (Since Y = V and Y > R, therefore V > R.)
Therefore, only conclusion II is true.
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.
Each of D, E, F, G, M, N and O has an exam on a different day of a week starting from Monday and ending on Sunday of the same week.

Two
One
Four
Three
Correct answer
Four
Why this answer is correct
Each of D, E, F, G, M, N and O has an exam on a different day of a week starting from Monday and ending on Sunday of the same week.
Final Exam Schedule:
| Day | Person |
|---|---|
| Monday | G |
| Tuesday | N |
| Wednesday | D |
| Thursday | F |
| Friday | E |
| Saturday | M |
| Sunday | O |
Therefore, Four people have an exam after D.
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.
43 people are standing in a row facing North. Hari is 13th from the right end, while Rupesh is 20th from the left end. How many people are there between Hari and Rupesh?
12
14
10
8
Correct answer
10
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Total number of people in the row = 43
Hari is 13th from the right end.
Rupesh is 20th from the left end.
The formula to find the position from the left is:
Position from Left = Total People - Position from Right + 1
For Hari:
Position from left = 43 - 13 + 1
= 30 + 1
= 31st position from the left.
For Rupesh:
Position from left = 20th
Number of people between Hari and Rupesh = Difference of positions - 1
= 31 - 20 - 1
= 11 - 1
= 10 people.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. B sits third to the right of E. D is the immediate neighbour of G and A. F sits second to the right of G.
How many people sit between A and C when counted from the left of C?
Two
One
Three
Four
Correct answer
Four
Why this answer is correct
A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.
There are four people sit between A and C when counted from the left of C.
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.
Six people, E, F, G, P, Q and S, are sitting in a row facing South.
Only two people sit to the left of F. Only two people sit between F and G. E sits immediately to the right of F. Only one person sits between E and S. Only two people sit between E and Q. Who is sitting to the immediate left of P?
Q
G
E
S
Correct answer
E
Why this answer is correct
Logic followed here is based on the linear seating arrangement of six people facing South.
Directions for South-facing arrangement:
Step-by-step Placement:
Only two people sit to the left of F: Since they are facing South, there are two people in the seats to the left of F (towards the observer's right). This places F in the 4th position from the observer's left.
E sits immediately to the right of F: In a South-facing row, the right of F is towards the observer's left. So, E is at the 3rd position.
Only two people sit between F and G: F is at the 4th position. Two seats between them mean G must be at the 1st position (as position 7 does not exist).
Only one person sits between E and S: E is at the 3rd position. S must be at the 5th position to leave one seat (occupied by F) in between.
Only two people sit between E and Q: E is at the 3rd position. Two seats between them (occupied by F and S) mean Q must be at the 6th position.
The remaining person: P is the only person left, so P must occupy the 2nd position.
Final Seating Arrangement:
| Observer Left | Pos 1 | Pos 2 | Pos 3 | Pos 4 | Pos 5 | Pos 6 | Observer Right |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Person | G | P | E | F | S | Q |
The question asks: Who is sitting to the immediate left of P?
Since P is facing South, his immediate left is the person sitting in the next seat towards the observer's right (Position 3).
The person sitting in Position 3 is E.
Therefore, E is sitting to the immediate left of P.
