Question 1
Whose among the following can be pet no.2?
SOLUTION
Solution : B
From (iii) we get that T`s pet and Q's pet are immediately next to each other. From (iv), we get V's pet is no.3 or 4 or 5. From (v), we know that there are two pets between R's and V's pet and that Q's pet is adjacent to V. Furthur, since Q's pet and T's pet should be together, the order should be RTQV or VQTR, if it is RTQV, the right most position V's pet can occupy position no.5 and hence R will be the second pet. From condition (ii), S's pet should be in no.1 position, 6th pet will be P's, which will not satisfy condition (i). So, RQTV is not possible.
We will have only VQTR. Since S's pet is on the left side of R's pet, only P's and U's pet can then come to right. But then condition (i) and (ii), we need to have S's pet in the first place. Then P's and U's pets will br in 2nd and 3rd position in any order.
Thus the two possible arrangements are SPUVQTR and SUPVQTR.
P and U can be in position no.2. Hence answer option B
Question 2
Which pet belongs to U?
SOLUTION
Solution : D
From (iii) we get that T`s pet and Q's pet are immediately next to each other. From (iv), we get V's pet is no.3 or 4 or 5. From (v), we know that there are two pets between R's and V's pet and that Q's pet is adjacent to V. Furthur, since Q's pet and T's pet should be together, the order should be RTQV or VQTR, if it is RTQV, the right most position V's pet can occupy position no.5 and hence R will be the second pet. From condition (ii), S's pet should be in no.1 position, 6th pet will be P's, which will not satisfy condition (i). So, RQTV is not possible.
We will have only VQTR. Since S's pet is on the left side of R's pet, only P's and U's pet can then come to right. But then condition (i) and (ii), we need to have S's pet in the first place. Then P's and U's pets will br in 2nd and 3rd position in any order.
Thus the two possible arrangements are SPUVQTR and SUPVQTR.
U’s pet is either 2nd or 3rd
Choice (d)
Question 3
If it is known that S’s pet is U’s pet’s immediate neighbour, then whose pet is to the immediate right of P’s pet?
SOLUTION
Solution : B
From (iii) we get that T`s pet and Q's pet are immediately next to each other. From (iv), we get V's pet is no.3 or 4 or 5. From (v), we know that there are two pets between R's and V's pet and that Q's pet is adjacent to V. Furthur, since Q's pet and T's pet should be together, the order should be RTQV or VQTR, if it is RTQV, the right most position V's pet can occupy position no.5 and hence R will be the second pet. From condition (ii), S's pet should be in no.1 position, 6th pet will be P's, which will not satisfy condition (i). So, RQTV is not possible.
We will have only VQTR. Since S's pet is on the left side of R's pet, only P's and U's pet can then come to right. But then condition (i) and (ii), we need to have S's pet in the first place. Then P's and U's pets will br in 2nd and 3rd position in any order.
Thus the two possible arrangements are SPUVQTR and SUPVQTR.
If S’s is U’s immediate pet, then we are talking of the 2nd arrangement above and hence.
Choice (b)
Question 4
Among the following, whose pet is nearest to S’s pet?
SOLUTION
Solution : C
From (iii) we get that T`s pet and Q's pet are immediately next to each other. From (iv), we get V's pet is no.3 or 4 or 5. From (v), we know that there are two pets between R's and V's pet and that Q's pet is adjacent to V. Furthur, since Q's pet and T's pet should be together, the order should be RTQV or VQTR, if it is RTQV, the right most position V's pet can occupy position no.5 and hence R will be the second pet. From condition (ii), S's pet should be in no.1 position, 6th pet will be P's, which will not satisfy condition (i). So, RQTV is not possible.
We will have only VQTR. Since S's pet is on the left side of R's pet, only P's and U's pet can then come to right. But then condition (i) and (ii), we need to have S's pet in the first place. Then P's and U's pets will br in 2nd and 3rd position in any order.
Thus the two possible arrangements are SPUVQTR and SUPVQTR.
U’s pet is nearest to S’s pet
Choice (c)
Question 5
Among the following, whose pet is farthest from R’s pet?
SOLUTION
Solution : A
From (iii) we get that T`s pet and Q's pet are immediately next to each other. From (iv), we get V's pet is no.3 or 4 or 5. From (v), we know that there are two pets between R's and V's pet and that Q's pet is adjacent to V. Furthur, since Q's pet and T's pet should be together, the order should be RTQV or VQTR, if it is RTQV, the right most position V's pet can occupy position no.5 and hence R will be the second pet.

We will have only VQTR. Since S's pet is on the left side of R's pet, only P's and U's pet can then come to right. But then condition (i) and (ii), we need to have S's pet in the first place. Then P's and U's pets will br in 2nd and 3rd position in any order.
Thus the two possible arrangements are SPUVQTR and SUPVQTR.
S’s pet is farthest from R’s pet.

Question 6
If a person wants to go from A to I, by travelling through the least number of cities, then how many ways are available to him?
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Option B is the correct answer.
Question 7
If a person wants to visit all the towns, each being visited exactly once, and if he wants to start at A, then how many ways are available to him?
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Following are the ways in which a person starts from A and visits all the cities.
Hence, there are 8 such ways.Choice (2)
Question 8
In how many ways can a man reach D, starting from A such that the person does not visit the same city twice?
SOLUTION
Solution : D
From F there are three ways to reach D.
From E there are three ways to reach D.
From A to E there are two ways; from A to F there are two ways.
By comparing the above ways we get that there are 8 ways in total.
Choices (4)
Question 9
What is the longest possible distance to reach D, starting from A? Assume that no city can be visited twice.
SOLUTION
Solution : B
70 Km
A – B – C – F – I – H – G – D or
A – B – C – F – I – H – E – D
Choice (2)
Question 10
If A owns a blue house, then E’s house can be
SOLUTION
Solution : B
If A owns a blue house in Jaipur, then B owns a house in Bombay (because E cannot own in Bombay) and hence, E owns a house in Bangalore similarly, if A’s house is blue, then E’s house will be red or black. Hence, E will have red house or black house in Bangalore
