Given: A certain number of players are standing in a line facing north.

1. A stands third to the right of D.

2. The number of players standing between A and D is one more than the number of players standing between A and F.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.

3. L stands immediately to the right of F.

4. No player stands between L and K.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2.

5. B stands immediately to the left of D.

6. The number of players standing between F and K is the same as the number of players standing between Y and B.

7. Y stands to the left of B.

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is The one who stands fourth to the right of A.

Given statements:  A ≥ X = N > Y; O ≥ A = L; N = Z

On combining: O ≥ A ≥ X = N > Y;  O ≥ A = L; N = Z; O ≥ A ≥ X = N = Z

Conclusions:

I. O > Z → False (as O ≥ A ≥ X = N = Z, thus clear relation cannot be determined as either O > Z or O = Z)

II. O = Z → False (as O ≥ A ≥ X = N = Z , thus clear relation cannot be determined as either O > Z or O = Z)

Therefore, Conclusion I and Conclusion II forms complementary pair

Hence, Either I or II is true

Key Points

Conditions for Either - or

I. Subject and predicate should be same

II. Both the individual conclusions must be false

Given statements: C ≤ H = M ≥ Y; Y ≤ A ≥ X < P > L

On combining: C ≤ H = M ≥ Y ≤ A ≥ X < P > L

Conclusions:

I. A > C → False (as C ≤ H = M ≥ Y ≤ A, thus clear relation between C and A cannot be determined as the signs are different)

II. A = M → False (as  M ≥ Y ≤ A, thus clear relation between M and A cannot be determined as the signs are different)

Hence, neither I nor II is true

Given statements: J ≥ G > T = M; R < Y < U = J ≤ O > T

On combining: R < Y < U = J ≥ G > T = M; J ≤ O > T

Conclusions:

I. J > R → True (as R < Y < U = J, so R < J)

II. U > G → False (as U = J ≥ G, so either U > G or U = G)

Hence, only I conclusion is true

Given word: INTERPRISE

The given word can be represented as follows:

Thus, there is three pairs → Forward: EI, PS; Backward: RT

Hence, Three is the correct answer.

Given: Eight persons, namely, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W, attend a workshop in different months: September, October, November, and December, on two different dates: 11 and 22, but not necessarily in the same order.

1. W attends the workshop on the 11^th of a month having 30 days.

 

2. Three persons attend between W and R.

 

3. T attends the workshop on an even date before R and after W.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2, but we have a subcase of Case 1, i.e., Case 1a.

 

4. S attends immediately before R.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1a.

 

5. Three people attend between T and U, where T attended before U.

 

6. Q attends the workshop in a month having 31 days, but not on an odd-numbered date.

 

7. V attends after P.

This is our final arrangement,

 

Hence, the correct answer is V visits on an odd date.

Given: Eight persons, namely, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W, attend a workshop in different months: September, October, November, and December, on two different dates: 11 and 22, but not necessarily in the same order.

1. W attends the workshop on the 11^th of a month having 30 days.

 

2. Three persons attend between W and R.

 

3. T attends the workshop on an even date before R and after W.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2, but we have a subcase of Case 1, i.e., Case 1a.

 

4. S attends immediately before R.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1a.

 

5. Three people attend between T and U, where T attended before U.

 

6. Q attends the workshop in a month having 31 days, but not on an odd-numbered date.

 

7. V attends after P.

This is our final arrangement,

 

Except for T, all others attend the workshop in the month of 31 days.

Hence, the correct answer is T.

Given: Eight persons, namely, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W, attend a workshop in different months: September, October, November, and December, on two different dates: 11 and 22, but not necessarily in the same order.

1. W attends the workshop on the 11^th of a month having 30 days.

 

2. Three persons attend between W and R.

 

3. T attends the workshop on an even date before R and after W.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2, but we have a subcase of Case 1, i.e., Case 1a.

 

4. S attends immediately before R.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1a.

 

5. Three people attend between T and U, where T attended before U.

 

6. Q attends the workshop in a month having 31 days, but not on an odd-numbered date.

 

7. V attends after P.

This is our final arrangement,

 

Hence, the correct answer is One.
