Every day of week repeats after seven days.
Hence, 59 = 7 × 8 + 3 = 56 + 3
 It will be Thursday after 56 days.
57th day = Thursday  58th day = Friday
59th day = Saturday  60th day = Sunday
 It will be Sunday after 59 days.

mallon piml = blue light
Mallon tifl = blue berry
Arpan tifl = rasp berry
 From the above analysis, we see codes as
Blue = mallon
Light = piml
Berry = tifl
Rasp = Arpan
 Light i.e., piml is given in the two options (b) and (d) but in option (b) other code
given is of rasp, hence it cannot be the code of house. So, option (d) is correct.
16. (D)

Let the average age of 8 men = x yr
Total age of 8 men = 8 x yr
Now, new average age = (x + 2)yr
Total age = 8(x + 2)yr
Difference of ages = 8(x + 2) – 8x
= 8x + 16 – 8x = 16 yr
 Age of new man = 20 + 16 = 36 yr
So, the new man is 16yr older the the man by whom the new man is replaced.
36. (D)
The relation is as following:

37. (B)
Since Arun and Suresh interchange places, so Arun’s new position (13th from left) is
the same as suresh’s earlier position (6th from right).
So, number of children in the queue = (12 + 1 + 5) = 8.
Now, suresh’s ne position is the same as arun’s earlier position fifth from left.
Therefore suresh’s position from the right = (18 – 4) = 14th.
