DIRECTIONS for the question 6-7: Study the following information to answer the given questions:
Eight people are sitting in two parallel rows containing four people each, in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In row 1- A, B, C and D are seated (but not necessarily in the same order) and all of them are facing south. In row 2 - E, F, G and H are seated (but not necessarily in the same order) and all of them are facing north. Therefore, in the given seating arrangement each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row.
G sits second to right of E. The one who faces E sits to the immediate right of C. A faces the immediate neighbour of E. H sits to immediate left of the person who faces D. H does not sit at an extreme end of the line.
Who amongst the following faces A ?
1. E
2. F
3. G
4. H
5. Cannot be determined
Answer: Option D.
We have,
G sits second to right of E i.e. _ E _ G
The one who faces E sits to the immediate right of C i.e. C _ _ _
_ E _ G A faces the immediate neighbour of E i.e. C _ A _
_ E _ G
H does not sit at an extreme end of the line i.e.
C _ A _
_ E H G
H sits to immediate left of the person who faces D i.e. C _ A D
F E H G
Pattern is 1st row C B A D.
2nd row F E H G
So, A faces H.
Who amongst the following faces the person who sits exactly between G and E ?
1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D
5. Cant Determine
Answer: Option A.
We have,
G sits second to right of E i.e. _ E _ G
The one who faces E sits to the immediate right of C i.e. C _ _ _
_ E _ G
A faces the immediate neighbour of E i.e. C _ A _
_ E _ G
H does not sit at an extreme end of the line i.e.
C _ A _
_ E H G
H sits to immediate left of the person who faces D i.e. C _ A D
F E H G
Pattern is 1st row C B A D
2nd row F E H G
H is between G and E and H faces A.
Thus the answer will be A, the first option

DIRECTIONS for the question 8-9: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
Give answer (1) if only conclusion I follows.
Give answer (2) if only conclusion II follows.
Give answer (3) if either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
Give answer (4) if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
Give answer (5) if both conclusion I and conclusion II follows.
Statements: G ≤ F = L ≤ J; J ≤ K = H
Conclusions: I. H = G II. G < H
1. only conclusion I follows.
2. only conclusion II follows.
3. either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
4. neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
5. both conclusion I and conclusion II follows.
Answer: Option C.
From the given statements, it can be concluded that G = F = L = J = K = H.
Now it is very much clear from this that either G = H or G < H.
Thus, according to above, the answer will be option 3.
Statements: P < R < S < T > U
Conclusions: I. U < R II. T > P
1. only conclusion I follows.
2. only conclusion II follows.
3. either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
4. neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
5. both conclusion I and conclusion II follows.
Answer: Option B.
The statement provides that P < R < S < T > U.
Thus, according to above, either U > R or U < R and necessarily T > P.
Because only the second conclusion follows, the answer is option 2
