SOLUTIONS (1-5):
• Both P and U are appearing for either SBI/IBPS in IIMT
but only 2 students appear for IBPS and it is also given
that both V and R appears for IBPS. So, it is clear that
IIMT centre will conduct SBI exam on 26th January 2018.
• R does not have in IIT and it is also given that R appears
for IBPS exam. So, only possibility is that R appears in
LPU for IBPS exam along with V as a centre conduct a
single exam on a particular day.
• W, Q and T must appear in IIT and they appear for RBI
exam.
➔ If we combine the above statements, we can conclude:

EXAMINATION CENTRE EXAM PERSON TIME SLOT

LPU IBPS V
R 2:00pm
W 5:00pm
IIT RBI Q
T
P
IIMT SBI U
S
• The one who appears for exam with R in LPU has exam
scheduled at 1:00pm. Therefore, V appears for exam at
1:00pm.
• S has a exam in IIMT along with the student who has a
exam at 3:00pm. S appears for exam in IIMT along with P
and U but, P’s exam is scheduled neither at 3:00pm nor at
7:00pm. So, U will appear for exam at 3:00pm.
• The students appearing for exam at 4:00pm and 6:00pm
have a common exam centre. So, only possibility is Q and
T appears at either 4:00pm or 6:00pm.
But, Q does not appear for exam at 4:00pm. So, Q appears
for exam at 6:00pm and T appears for it at 4:00pm.
➔ On combining the above statements, we can conclude

that:

EXAMINATION CENTRE EXAM PERSON TIME SLOT
LPU IBPS V 1:00pm
R 2:00pm
W 5:00pm
IIT RBI Q 6:00pm
T 4:00pm
P 8:00pm

S 7:00pm
1) Option c) is the correct answer as S’s exam is scheduled

at 7:00pm.
2) Option b) is the correct answer as U appears for SBI
exam.
3) Option c) is the correct answer as T appears at IIT centre.
4) Option b) is the correct answer. 3 students appear for RBI
exam.
5) Option a) is the correct answer as only 1 student has a
exam with P and S.
SOLUTIONS (6-10):
• Both the students who like Biology and White colour
studies in IV standard .
• Only Ramesh studies in VI standard . He likes Green
colour and Punjabi is his favourite subject.
• Student whose favourite subject is Biology likes Yellow
Colour.

• The student who likes Grey colour, One who likes Apple
and the one who likes Maths studies in the same
standard.
• Student whose favourite subject is Maths studies in II
standard.
• Student whose favourite subject is English does not study
in same standard with the student whose favourite

English studies in II standard as Student having History
studies in IV standard)
• Rajat studies in II standard but he does not likes Maths.
• One who likes English does not like Red colour.
• Rohit neither likes Grey nor yellow colour.
→ If we combine the above statements, we will get 2

possible cases:
CASE 1:
STANDARD NAME SUBJECT FRUIT COLOUR
II Rajat English Black
Raghav Maths Red
Rohan Biology Apple/Litchi Yellow
IV Rohit Apple/Litchi White
Ram History Grey
VI Ramesh Punjabi Green

CASE 2:
STANDARD NAME SUBJECT FRUIT COLOUR
English Apple/Litchi Black
II Science Grapes Grey
Maths Apple/Litchi Red
IV Ram History White
Biology Yellow
VI Ramesh Punjabi Green
• The student whose favourite subject is Science likes

Grapes.
→ But, while checking Case1 there is no place together for
Science and Grapes(as Student whose favourite subject is
Science likes Grapes) . So, the Case 1 cannot be possible.
Now consider Case2:
• Rohit does not like Grey and Yellow colour. Also, he does
not like Maths. So, there is only 1 possible place for Rohit.
• Rajat studies in II standard but Maths is not his favourite
subject
• Raghav does not like Biology.
• Rohan and Ramesh does not like Guava.
CLASS NAME SUBJECT FRUIT COLOUR

and only place left for Dto conduct seminar is evening, he
must attend seminar in evening on Tuesday.

Day/ Slot Morning Pre-Noon Afternoon Evening

Monday D B
Tuesday D
Wednesday D
Thursday D A

Monday X/V
Wednesday X/V L(P)
Friday (U)
Sunday G(O) (S)
vi) Number of teams playing before V is equivalent to

number of teams playing after Team F. And it is also
given that S is not played by team F.
(so, Vcan not organized in first slot of first day).

Monday X
Wednesday V L(P)
Friday (U) F
Sunday G(O) (S)

vii) Only 3 teams play between team F and I.

(so, we get 2 possible cases here as position of I is not
confirmed).

1) Option d) is the correct answer as F is the oldest.
2) Option a) is the correct answer as A was born in 1975.
3) Option e) is the correct answer as B was born in odd
numbered year while others (given in the options) are
born in even numbered year.
statements are true.
5) Option e) is the correct answer as D can be either 40
years or 50 years old.
SOLUTION (6-10):
Here the age will be calculated as on 2019.
Year Age
1950 69
1965 54
1969 50
1973 46
1989 30
1990 29
1993 26
Therefore ages will be :

a) It is given that difference between ages of A and G is a

multiple of 3. So, we consider all possible ages of A and G.
i.e. 69‒54 = 15, 69‒30 =39, 54‒30 = 24, 50‒26 = 24, 29‒
26 = 3
Here, 15, 39, 24, 3 all are multiples of 3.
So, all possible places of A and G are:
Ages Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 Case 4 Case 5

69 A/G A/G
54 A/G A/G
50 A/G
46
30 A/G A/G
29 A/G
26 A/G A/G
b) F age is multiple of 5 and case 1 and case 5 have 2

possible places for F and rest cases have 1 possible
places.
Ages Case Case Case Case Case Case Case

1.1 1.2 2 3 4 5.1 5.2

46
30 F A/G A/G F F
29 A/G A/G
26 A/G A/G A/G

c) B age is prime number. So, B age will be 29 . And Case 5.1

and 5.2 is cancelled.
Age Case 1.1 Case 1.2 Case 2 Case 3 Case 4

69 A/G A/G A/G
54 A/G A/G A/G
50 F F F A/G
46
30 F A/G A/G F
29 B B B B B
26 A/G
d) Only 3 persons are born between D and F so Case 1.2 is

cancelled. And E born after 1969 that means his age
should not be greater than 50. So, possible ages of E is 46,
30, 29, 26.
Age Case 1.1 Case 2 Case 3 Case 4

69 A/G A/G C D
54 A/G C A/G C
50 F F F A/G
46 C/E E E E
30 C/E A/G A/G F
29 B B B B
26 D D D A/G

a) Cases 2, 3 and 4 are cancelled because it is given in the

question that difference between ages of C and E is more
than that of difference between ages of A and G.
Hence, Final solution will be
Year Ages Persons

1950 69 A/G
1965 54 A/G
1969 50 F
1973 46 C/E
1989 30 C/E
1990 29 B

v) Age of F is twice the difference of ages of A and G.

(now, we have to check possible age of G, so that twice
the difference of both A and G can be the age of F).
So, considering case 1:
Age of A is 45.
If we take age of G as 66, so difference between ages of A
and G will be 21 and its twice will be 42, which is age of F.
But, Case 2 does not satisfy the given condition, so it gets
eliminated here.
