7. Answer: D


www.ibpsguide.com


8. Answer: C

9. Answer: B

10. Answer: B

Initial Arrangement Explanation:

D sits second to the right of A.

Two people sit between D and H.

H is not a neighbor of A.

H and A facing opposite direction.

A and B facing same direction and F sits third to the left of B who is not aneighbor of D.

F is not a neighbour of H. Case 1 will be dropped because A is not facing outward.

C and E are immediate neighbours and none of them is a neighbour of D. From this statement we cannot fix

the position of C and E in, Case2a. Hence this case is eliminated.

G does not sit immediate left of D. Hence D faces towards the center of the table.

C and A are not immediate neighbours. Hence C is neighbour of H and E is neighbour of A.

E and G facing same direction.

C is not facing outward. So C faces center. C and F facing opposite direction. Hence F is facing outside the

center.

E and B facing different direction. Hence E is facing outwards and G is also facing Outward direction.

(Direction 11-15) Study the information given below and answer the questions based on it.

There are 10 houses – P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X and Y in two sides of a street. The houses were built as shown in

the fig. below and the distances between each house in both the sides are successive integral multiple of 7. Each

houses were painted in different colors viz. Olive Green, Royal yellow, Orange, Aqua blue, Caramel Brown,

Creamy Pink, Sage Green, Shadow Gray, Orchid violet and Lemon yellow but not necessarily in same order.

Note: The distance between two houses is same in both the sides such that each house exactly faces other house in

the other side.

The House W is painted in Olive Green color. The house which is painted in Orchid Violet color is

opposite to the one which is 133m to the right of X. Neither Q nor V is painted in Aqua Blue color. The

House U is opposite to the one which is 147m to the left of the house that is painted in sage Green color.

There is only one house between X and W. The house which is painted in Shadow Gray and Caramel

brown color were facing opposite to one other. House T is opposite to Y.

The House which is painted in Creamy pink color faces the house which is painted in Orange color. P is

not facing north, but it is 210m to the left of S, which is Creamy pink color.

House U is at the end of the street, which is painted in Shadow Gray. The house which is painted in Orange

is on the immediate right of House V, which is at one end of the street. The House which is painted in Sage

Green and Orchid Violet are not facing north. House Y is painted in Lemon Yellow color.

The Person from House V walks 20m south; now he takes a left turn and walks for 100m to reaches Point

A. The person from House Q walks towards south for 56m and he takes an immediate right turn, walks for

89m to reach point B.

Directions (11-15):

11) Answer: C

12) Answer: D

13) Answer: A

14) Answer: B

15) Answer: D

Explanation:

The House W is painted in Olive Green color.

The house which is painted in Orchid Violet color is opposite to the one which is 133m to the right of X.

Neither Q nor V is painted in Aqua Blue color.

The House U is opposite to the one which is 147m to the left of the house that is painted in Sage Green

color.


www.ibpsguide.com


There is only one house between X and W.

The house which is painted in Shadow Gray and Caramel brown color were facing opposite to one other.

House T is opposite to Y.

The House which is painted in Creamy pink color faces the house which is painted in Orange color.

P is not facing north, but it is 210m to the left of S, which is Creamy pink color.

The possibilities are,

House U is at the end of the street, which is painted in Shadow Gray.

The house which is painted in Orange is on the immediate right of House V, who is at one end of the street.

The House which is painted in Sage Green and Orchid Violet are not facing north.

House Y is painted in Lemon Yellow color.

So we get,

The possibilities are,


www.ibpsguide.com


On combining above possibilities we get,

As the distance between House X and House Y is 63m, we get distance between House Y and W as

70m and distance is an integral multiple of 7 we get the distance between the other houses.

As V and Q were not in Aqua Blue color, we can conclude that R is painted in Aqua Blue color and V

is painted in Royal Yellow color.

The Person from House V walks 20m south; now he takes a left turn and walks for 100m to reaches

Point A.

The person from House Q walks towards south for 56m and he takes an immediate right turn, walks for

89m to reach point B.

Directions: (16-20): Study the given information carefully and answer the following question.

Eight Astronauts Eric, Acaba, Boe, Robert, Serena, Daniel, Joseph and Peggyare sitting in Circle Ainitially. Some

of them are facing center and remaining are facing opposite to the center. Each of them has working for either

Falcon 9 satellite or Falcon heavy satellite. The persons who are working for same satellite are not sit together but

they are facing same direction and the person who are working for different satellite are always sit together but

they are facing opposite direction. They are all have different years of experience 20, 25, 30, 32, 27, 16, 18 and 40

in the NASA space center. All the above information is not necessarily in the same order.

The one who have experience of 30 years sits second to the left of Eric. Peggy is the most experienced person

among them. Serena sits in an even numbered seat and sits second to the left of the one whose experience is square

of a number. Acaba and Serena are facing same direction and Acaba’s experience is twice the experience of

Serena. The one who has experience of 32 years sits second to the left of the one who has experience of 20 years.

Joseph’s experience is four years less than that of average of experience of Robert and Peggy. Boe who doesn’t

work for falcon 9 satellite have 3 years more experience than Eric and never sits in seat number 3.Robert doesn’t

sits opposite to Boe. Daniel sits in seat number 6. Eric sits third to the right of Daniel.

According to the below conditions, persons are shift their position from Circle A to Circle B

CONDITIONS:

1. If the experience of an Astronaut is multiple of 3 but not a multiple of 5, then, he moves same numbered

position to Circle B and doesn’t change his direction.

2. If the experience of an Astronaut is multiple of 4 and also 5, then he moves a position that is opposite to his

current numbered position to Circle B and change his direction to opposite direction.(if he faces outside the table in

circle A now he face towards the center in the Circle B and vice versa.)

3.If the experience of an Astronaut is multiple of 4 but not a multiple of 5 then, he moves same numbered position

to Circle B and change his direction to opposite direction.(if he faces outside the center in Circle A now he face the

center in the Circle B and vice versa.)

4. If the experience of an Astronaut is Square of an odd number, then he moves a position that is opposite to his

current numbered position to Circle B and doesn’t change his direction.

5. If the experience of an Astronaut is multiple of both 3 and 5, then he moves a position that is opposite to his

20) Who sits second to the right of the one who is opposite to third highest experience person among the

group?

a) The one who is immediate right of Acaba.

b) The one who is second to the right of Boe.

c) The one who is works in falcon heavy satellite.

d) Both b and c

e) None of these

Directions: (16-20):

16. Answer: C

17. Answer: E

18. Answer: C

19. Answer: D

20. Answer: D

Daniel sits in seat number 6.

Eric sits third to the right of Daniel.

Now we clearly understand from the given data The person who are working for same satellite are not sit

together but they are facing same direction and the person who are working for different satellite are

always sit together but they are facing opposite direction. Because of these conditions immediate

neighbours of Daniel are facing same direction and Daniel and his immediate neighbours are working for

different satellite. Hence we can easily find out the directions of all the persons. If Daniel facing center

definitely his immediate neighbours are facing opposite direction of Daniel and also find all the persons

directions. Now there are two possible cases. Daniel faces center or opposite to the center.

Case 1 Case 2

Peggy is the most experienced person. So Peggy has 40 years of experience.

Serena sits in an even numbered seat and sits second to the left of the one whose experience is square of a

number.

Acaba and Serena are facing same direction and Acaba experience is twice the amount of time of Serena

experience.


www.ibpsguide.com


Already we know that Peggy experience is 40 years. So Acaba experience should be 32 years and Serena

experience is 16 years.

The one who has experience of 32 years sits second to the left of the one who has experience of 20 years.

Since, Acaba and Serena facing same direction and both are sitting in an even numbered seat and Acaba

sits second to the left of the one who has experience of 20 years, so this person also sits in even numbered

seat.Now the possible cases are

Case 1 Case 1A

Case 2 Case 2A

Joseph experience is four less than that of average of experience of Robert and Peggy.

we know that Peggy’s experience is 40 years and unknown experience for case 1 is 25, 30 , 27 and 18

and for case 2-25, 30, 27 and 18 finally for case 1(A)- 20 , 30,27 and 18.

From this we can get experience of that person which is four less than that of average of Peggy and

Robert by 40 and 18.i.e.((40+18)/2)-4 = 25.

So we conclude that Robert experience is 18 years and Joseph experience is 25 years. Case 1(A) and Case

2(A) are eliminated because Daniel experience is 25 years. Now the case 1 and case 2 becomes


www.ibpsguide.com


Case 1 Case 2

Boe who doesn’t work for falcon 9 satellite have more experience than Eric and never sits in seat number

3.Boe is 3 years more experience than Eric. Therefore, only two uncertain experience years we have 27

and 30. From that statement we definitely say that Boe is 30 years of experience and Eric is 27 years of

experience. Boe doesn’t work for falcon 9; therefore he must be work for Falcon heavy satellite. If we

know the one person’s works then we can easily find out the satellite which all the persons engage their

work. (The people who are working for same satellite are not sitting together but they are facing same

direction and the people who are working for different satellite are always sitting together but they are

facing opposite direction.)and also case 2 is also eliminated. Because Boe never sits seat number 3.

Robert doesn’t sits opposite to Boe. Hence we can conclude that Robert seat number is 7 and Peggy seat

number is 5. Also we know the directions of all persons.

Now the arrangement becomes

CONDITIONS:

1. If the experience of Astronaut is multiple of 3 but not a multiple of 5, then, he moves same numbered position to

circle B and doesn’t change his direction.

2. If the experience of Astronaut is multiple of 4 and also 5, then he moves a position that is opposite to his current

numbered position to circle B and change his direction to opposite direction.(if he faces outside the center in circle

A now he face the center in the circle B and vice versa.)

3. If the experience of Astronaut is multiple of 4 but not a multiple of 5, he moves same numbered position to

circle B and change his direction to opposite direction.(if he faces outside the center in circle A now he face the

center in the circle B and vice versa.)


www.ibpsguide.com


4. If the experience of an Astronaut is Square of an odd number, then he moves a position that is opposite to his


5. If the experience of anAstronaut is multiple of both 3 and 5, then he moves a position that is opposite to his


Now the final arrangement becomes:

Answers:

21. Answer :E

22. Answer :C

23. Answer :B

24. Answer :E

25. Answer :E

Explanation:

Here perimeter is given and also mention that equal distance between each person. So divide 200m by 8 we get

25m. i.e., equal distance between each person.

Obama sits at the corner of the square.

Newton sits third to the right of Obama, who is 30 years old.

Modi faces outward and sits 25m away from the left of Kennedy and on the immediate right of Obama.

The one whose age is 60 years sits second to the left of the one whose age is 62 years.

Modi is 62 years old.

Putin sits 100m away from Kennedy. It means Putin sits diagonally opposite to Kennedy.

Putin is not an immediate neighbour of George.


www.ibpsguide.com


George sits75 m away from the right of Martin.

The one who age is 45 years sits on the immediate right of George, who is not 40 years old.

Nelson is not 45 years old. From these statement case 2 become invalid and case 1 become

Obama sits75 m away from the right of the one whose age is 45 years old. From this statement we know the

direction of newton.

The one whose age is 30 years sits 50m away from the left of the one whose age is 50 years old.

The one whose age is 55 years old sits 50m away from the left of George.

George sits75 m away from the right of Martin. So Martin is facing towards the center of the table.

Only two people sits on the corner faces outside the center and remaining person is facing center. Similarly

only two people sits in the middle of the sides faces center and remaining are faces outside the center.
