Directions (1-10):
(A) If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
(B) If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
(C) If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
(D) If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
(E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

  1. Who is taller among A, B, C, D, and E?
    I. D is shorter than B. A is shorter than only E.
    II. B is taller than only D. E is taller than A and C.
    (C) If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation:

    From I : A is shorter than only E, this means that A is taller than all B C and D, so E is tallest.
    From II : B only taller than D, so D is shortest, and B is second shortest, Now E taller than A and C both, So tallest of all.

  2. What is the distance between point A and point B?
    I. Point C is 10 m west of point A and point D is 10 m north of point A.
    II. Point B is 10 m south-east of point C. Point D is 20 m north-west of point B.
    (D) If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation:

    From I : No relation between points A and B
    From II : In this since we don’t know the angles between sides of triangle forming with points ABD and ABC, AB cannot be determined.

  3. How is Shubham related to Shivani?
    I. Shubham is brother of Meenal. Shivani is niece of Preeti.
    II. Neeraj is Meenal’s uncle and Preeti’s brother
    (D) If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation:

    Either statement cant give the answer.
    From both statements we get the relationship as Preeti is Neeraj’s sister but it cannot be clearly said that Shubham and Meenal are Preeti’s children or not and Shivani is Neeraj’s daughter, because there can be other siblings of Neeraj and Preeti also.

  4. How is PRODUCT written in that code?
    I. In a certain code, AIEEE is written as BJFFF.
    II. In a certain code, GYPSY is written as FXORX

    Explanation:

    From I: All vowels are coded as next alphabets
    From II: All consonants are coded as previous alphabets
    So from both statements.

  5. How is ‘face’ written in that code?
    I. In a certain code, ‘no one with face’ is written as ‘fo to om sop’ and ‘no one has face’ is written as ‘om sit fo sop’
    II. In a certain code, ‘face of no light’ is written as ‘om mot fo kiz’ and ‘no one is smart’ is written as ‘sop fo sip lik’.
    (E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
    Explanation:

    From I : ‘no one face’ is ‘om fo sop’
    From II : ‘no’ is ‘fo’
    Now from both – ‘one face’ is ‘om sop’ and now from II: ‘face of no light’ is written as ‘om mot fo kiz’, ‘face’ is ‘om’

  6. What is Meena’s position with respect to Ruby?
    I. In a row of 25 students, Meena is sitting 12th from right end of row and Ruby is sitting 20th from left end of the row.
    II. Meena is 4th from right end and Ruby is 8th from left end.
    (A) If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation:

    From I: The position of both in a row can be known, so Meena’s position can be known.
    From II: Since total number of students is not known in this case, Meena’s position with respect to Ruby cannot be known.

  7. Who has secured less marks among A, B, C, D and E?
    I. D has secured less marks than only C and E.
    II. B secured more marks than A.
    (A) If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation:

    From I: D is at 3rd position from top, & C and E at 1st or 2nd.
    From II : B’s marks more than A
    From both, order in descending is C/E, E/C, D, B, A
    So A has secured less marks among all.

  8. On which floor is Shruti residing?
    I. In a 6 storeyed building (Ground floor is parking space), Rupa is on 4th floor. Shruti likes to reside only on even numbered floors. Reena is not on the topmost floor.
    II. Reena is two floors below Prateek who is 3 floors above Shruti.
    (E) If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
    Explanation:

    From I: 6 storeyed building has 2, 4 and 6 even numbered floors, out of which Rupa is on 4th, so Shruti is on either 2 or 6. Reena is not on 6 (top-most), but since it is not given Reena also stays on even numbered floor, nothing can be known about Shruti.
    From II : Prateek is 3 floors above Shruti, this means that Shruti will have to be at 1, 2 or 3 floor, so that Prateek is at 3 above Shruti’s floor.
    From both, Shruti is at 2nd floor.

  9. Aditya is facing which direction?
    I. Surbhi is facing east direction and if she turns to her right she will face Rahul.

    Explanation:

    From I: Cannot be found from I because no mention of Aditya.
    From II : Cannot be found because don’t know the direction of either Kirti or Surbhi
