Six persons, A, B, C, D, E and F, are sitting in a straight line, all facing the same direction.

1) E is sitting between B and F.

Case(i) :

Case(ii) :

2) A is third to the right of F and E is fourth to the left of A.

Case(i) :

Case(ii) :

Here case (ii) gets eliminated.

3) C is not sitting next to A.

∴ Here, 'C' is sitting between F and D.

Hence, the correct answer is "C".

Given,

Statement:

Ethical behavior fosters trust, but profitability often relies on operational efficiency as well.

Conclusions:

I. Ethical behavior is not sufficient for profitability. - True (Because, the statement says that profitability "often relies on operational efficiency as well." The word "as well" indicates that operational efficiency is another necessary factor, meaning ethical behavior alone is not enough to ensure profitability.)

II. Operational efficiency is required for trust. - False (Because, the statement links ethical behavior to trust, stating that "Ethical behavior fosters trust." It does not establish any connection between operational efficiency and trust.)

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

All conditions are as follows:

Priyanka meets all the eligibility criteria for the position, including age, education, and experience.

So, the correct answer is "Priyanka is eligible for the position as she meets all the criteria".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: Eight people - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, are sitting around a circular table, all facing outward.

D is third to the right of A.

B is sitting opposite D.

G is an immediate neighbor of both D and F.

C sits to the immediate right of F. 

E is third to the right of B.

So, D is sitting to the immediate right of E.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is:

The pattern is: (Sum of reverse positional values) - 1.

For READ:

Sum = 9 + 22 + 26 + 23 = 80

Code = 80 - 1 = 79

For DEAR:

Sum = 23 + 22 + 26 + 9 = 80

Code = 80 - 1 = 79

Similarly, let's find the code for DARE:

Sum = 23 + 26 + 9 + 22 = 80

Code = 80 - 1 = 79

Therefore, the code for DARE is 79.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Number of people (n) = 6

Formula used:

The number of ways to arrange 'n' distinct objects in a circle is (n-1)!

Calculation:

Number of ways = (6-1)! = 5!

⇒ 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

⇒ Number of ways = 120

∴ The correct answer is option (1).

Given:

Distance = 180 km

Formula used:

Time = \(\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}\)

Calculations:

Let original speed be 'S' km/h

Let original time be 'T' hours

New speed = (S + 15) km/h

New time = (T - 1) hours

From the given information, we can set up two equations:

T = \(\dfrac{180}{S}\) ----- (1)

T - 1 = \(\dfrac{180}{S+15}\) ---- (2)

Substitute T from equation (1) into equation (2):

\(\dfrac{180}{S}\) - 1 = \(\dfrac{180}{S+15}\)

⇒ \(\dfrac{180-S}{S}\) = \(\dfrac{180}{S+15}\)

⇒ (180 - S)(S + 15) = 180S

⇒ 180S + 2700 - S² - 15S = 180S

⇒ 2700 - S² - 15S = 0

⇒ S² + 15S - 2700 = 0

Factoring the quadratic equation:

⇒ (S + 60)(S - 45) = 0

Since speed cannot be negative, S = 45.

∴ The original speed of the train is 45 km/h.

The logic followed here is that all the numbers except one are prime numbers.

103 is a prime number (divisible only by 1 and 103).

109 is a prime number (divisible only by 1 and 109).

107 is a prime number (divisible only by 1 and 107).

The number 111 is composite.

→ 111 = 3 × 37

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Total people = (Rank from the front) + (Rank from the back) - 1

Given:

Ram's rank from the front = 10^th

Ram's rank from the back = 15^th

Applying the formula:

Total people = 10 + 15 - 1

= 25 - 1 = 24

So, there are 24 people in the queue.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Sameer's Status Evaluation

Option: 2) Insufficient Data

Reason : The criteria for selection (minimum required percentage, maximum age, required qualifications, minimum experience) are not provided. Without these benchmarks, a definitive decision cannot be made.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
