(Directions 6 – 10): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below it:
There are eight members Y, Z, U, W, Q, S, C and E. Each of them is related to Y in some way or the other and all of them have different chocolates among 20, 27, 33, 38, 40, 43, 45 and 50 but not necessarily in the same order and all are sitting in a straight line facing North.
Q is sitting second to right of Y’s son. Two people are sitting between Q and Z’s brother. Two people are sitting between Y’s son and Y’s father. S is an immediate neighbour of Y’s father. S is sitting at one of extreme ends. The sum of chocolates of C and Q is equal to sum of chocolates kept by W and E. One among the four have the highest number of chocolates and one among the four have the lowest number of chocolates. W and Y’s brother are sitting together. The difference between the chocolates of W and Z is equal to the difference between the chocolates of Q and U. Y’s brother is sitting second to left of Y. Two people are sitting between W and Y’s sister. Y is not an immediate neighbour of Q. C has more number of chocolates than Y but less than S. E’s father is sitting to the immediate right of Y’s daughter. Y’s wife is immediate neighbour of E. C is younger than U.
- Who among the following sits third to the left of C?
1) U
2) E
3) Z
4) Y
5) None of theseAnswer : 2) E
Solution:
Members – Y, Z, U, W, Q, S, C and E
According to the information given, relations of Y are father, mother, sister, brother, wife, son and daughter.
6. The sum of chocolates of C and Q is equal to sum of chocolates kept by W and E. One among the four have the highest number of chocolates and one among the four have the lowest number of chocolates. C has more number of chocolates than Y but less than S.Hence, C does not have the highest number of chocolates. If we assume chocolates of C be 20 and chocolates of Q be 50 then it does not follow the condition of sum of chocolates of C and Q is equal to sum of chocolates of W and E.
Therefore sum of chocolates of W and E is 50 + 20 = 70. Sum of chocolates of C and Q is 27 + 43 = 70.
S > C > Y. So, chocolates of C is 43, S is 45 and Q is 27.5. The difference between the chocolates of W and Z is equal to the difference between the chocolates of Q and U.
W – Z = Q – U
Chocolates of Q are 27.
Hence, U chocolates can be 33, 38 and 40.
Therefore, difference between chocolates of U and Q can be 6, 11 and 13.
Let marks of W be 20 then chocolates of T can be 33, 38 and 40.
Therefore, difference between chocolates of W and Z can be 13, 18 and 20.
Hence, chocolates of W is 20, E is 50, Z is 33 and U is 40.
Chocolates of Y is 38.
Hence, E sits third to the left of C. - How is S related to C?
1) Mother
2) Grandmother
3) Sister
4) Daughter
5) BrotherAnswer : 2) Grandmother
Hence, S is grandmother of C. - How many chocolates does Y have?
1) 33
2) 20
3) 40
4) 38
5) 43Answer : 4) 38
Hence, Y has 38 chocolates. - Who among the following is father of Y?
1) U
2) Z
3) W
4) E
5) QAnswer : 1) U
Hence, U is father of Y. - What is the sum of chocolates of C and W?
1) 88
2) 63
3) 70
4) 73
5) None of theseAnswer : 2) 63
Hence, sum of chocolates of C and W is 63.
