Seven Persons- A, S, Y, H, R, I and V were born in seven different years - 1987, 1979, 1978, 2001, 1982, 2004 and 1990, but not necessarily in the same order. Also, their age will be calculated based on the year 2018. Only one person is born in a year.
Note: If it is given that the age of one person is equal to the last two digits of the year in which another person is born, then it can be in any sequence. For example, if S’s age is equal to the last two digits of the A’s born year, which is 1987, then the age of S is either 78 or 87.
The age of H is equal to the last two digits of the year in which V was born. A was born exactly between I and Y. Only two persons were born between I and the one who was born immediately before Y. Y was born before V but after S. Y was not born in 1987. R was born immediately after the one whose age is an even number but not in a prime-numbered year.

Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions:
Six persons- M, N, O, P, Q and R - are living in the three-floor building (but not necessarily in the same order). The ground floor is numbered as 1, the floor just above it is numbered as 2 and so on. Each floor has 2 flats in it i.e., Flat 1, Flat 2. Flat 1 of floor 2 is immediately above flat 1 of floor 1 and immediately below flat 1 of Floor 3. Flat 2 of Floor 2 is immediately above flat 2 of floor 1 and immediately below flat 2 of Floor 3. Flat 1 is exactly to the west of Flat 2. Each person likes different colour- Blue, Black, White, Red, Pink and Green.
M lives on an even number floor. The one who lives just below M in the same named flat likes white colour. One floor is between the one who likes white colour and the one who likes green colour. M and the one who likes green colour does not live in same named flat. O lives two floors above P. O and P does not live in same named flat. N likes green colour.

Study the following information and answer the questions below:
Six persons sit around a circular table but not necessarily in the same order. Three of them face inside while rest three faces outside the centre. All of them get different marks in an examination viz. 16, 18, 20, 25, 27 and 36 but not in the same order as given.
T sits second to the right of O and gets the marks which is cube of a number. One person sits between T and X who faces same direction as O. The one who gets double marks of O is an immediate neighbor of T.L sits second to the right of R who gets 7 marks less than T. L does not get highest marks. R and O faces opposite directions. Immediate neigbours of R facing same direction. K is not an immediate neighbor of X. The one who gets 16 marks sits second to the right of T but immediate left of the one who gets 25 marks. R doesn’t face inside

Q8. Who among the following sits second to the right of the one who gets 25 marks?

(A). R
(B). O
(C). K
(D). T
(E). None of these

Answer: C

Solution

T sits second to the right of O and gets the marks which is cube of a number. There are two possibilities. One person sits between T and X who faces same direction as O. The one who gets double marks of O is an immediate neighbor of T. There is only possibility that O gets 18 marks.

L sits second to the right of R who gets 7 marks less than T. L does not get highest marks. R and O faces opposite directions. Immediate neigbours of R facing same direction. K is not an immediate neighbor of X. R doesn’t face inside. From this condition case-1 will be eliminated.

The one who gets 16 marks sits second to the right of T but immediate left of the one who gets 25 marks. The final arrangement is-

K sits second to the right of L who gets 25 marks.

Q9. What is the difference between the marks get by X and O?

(A). 7
(B). 4
(C). 5
(D). 2
(E). None of these

The box which contains Cashews is placed just above S which is not placed at bottommost position. Three boxes are placed between S and O. There are two boxes which are placed between O and T. Not more than one box is placed between T and M. Maximum one box is placed between O and M. Q is placed third above M and contains Dates. Three boxes are placed between Q and P. One box is placed between P and S which contains Apricots. More than two boxes are placed between M and R. There are three boxes placed between the box which contains Apricots and the box which contains Saffron. One box is placed between the box which contains Saffron and the box which contains Figs.

Clues: Three boxes are placed between S and O. There are two boxes which are placed between O and T. Not more than one box is placed between T and M. Maximum one box is placed between O and M.
Inference: Case 1 gets cancelled here because not more than one box is placed between T and M. Case 3 gets cancelled here because maximum one box is placed between O and M.

Boxes- Dry Fruits	Boxes- Dry Fruits	Boxes- Dry Fruits
Case 1	Case 2	Case 3
P	Q- Dates	O

(B). 20
(C). 22
(D). 24
(E). 23

Answer: A

Solution:

Final arrangement:

J A K W N Z V L P
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

Clues: Seven persons sit between W and L. V sits immediate left of L. Only four persons sit between V and P who sits at one of the extreme ends.
Inference: We have two possible cases

Case 1: W V L P
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

Case 2: P V L W
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

Clue: A sits nine persons away from Z who sits exactly between P and W. More than three persons sits between A and P.
Inference:

A W Z V L P
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

P V L Z W A
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

Clues: The number of persons sits between A and W is two less than the number of persons sit between Z and N. K sits third to the left of N. Only two people sit between K and J.
Inference: Case 2 gets eliminated

Case 1:
J A K W N Z V L P
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

Case 2:
P V L Z K N W A
