Directions: (Q. 5-9): Each of the questions below consists of a questions and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient to answer the questions. Read both the statements and give answer
1) if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II
alone are not sufficient to answer the question 
2) if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I
alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
3) if the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
4) if the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
5) if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Directions: (Q. 10-14): Study the following information to answer the given questions:
Six persons C, D, E, F, G and H are standing in a straight line facing north but not necessarily in the same order. D is standing second to the right of F. C is standing fourth to the left of H and H is not standing on the extreme end of the line. E is standing second to the right of D.

10. What is the position of G with respect to E?
1) Immediate left 
2) Second to the left
3) Third to the left 
4) Third to the right
5) None of these

11. Which of the following pairs represents the people standing at the extreme ends of the line?
1) F, H 
2) C, E 
3) D, E
4) C, H 
5) None of these

12. Who is standing second to the right of C?
1) F 
2) D 
3) G 
4) E 
5) None of these

13. Four of the following five are alike in a certain way based on their positions in the above arrangement and so form a group. Which of the following does not belong to that group?
1) C, G 
2) G, E 
3) G, H 
4) D, E 
5) F, D

14. If all the persons are asked to stand in alphabetical order from left to right, the positions of how many will remain unchanged?
1) One 
2) Two 
3) Three
4) None 
5) None of these

1. (2); Given statements: A >= B = C .. (i)
                                          B < D <= E ... (ii)
Combining both statements, we get A >= B < D <= E
Thus, we can’t compare A and D. Hence conclusion I (D > A) is not true.
Again, B = C < D <= E.  Thus, C < E or E > C is true. Hence, conclusion II is true.

2. (5); Given statements:  L > U >= K ... (i)
                                          Z < U < R ... (ii)
Combining both statements, we get L > U > Z
Thus, L > Z is true. Hence conclusion I is true.
Again, K ? U < R. Thus, K < R is true. Hence conclusion II is true.

3. (1); Given statements:
Y < J = P >= R > I Thus, J > I is true. Hence conclusion I is true.
Again, we can’t compare Y and R. Hence, II is not true.

4. (4); Given statements:
    V >= K > M = N ... (i)
    M > S ... (ii)
    T < K              ... (iii)
Combining (i) and (iii), we get T < K > M = N
We can’t compare T and N. Hence conclusion I (T < N) is not true.
Again, combining (i) and (ii)
V >= K > M > S Thus, conclusion II (V = S) is not true.

5. (2);
Hence, J is either Niece or Nephew of K.
Thus, I is not sufficient to answer the question because gender of J is not given.

Hence J is Nephew of K.
Only II is sufficient to answer the question.

6. (1); From I.  G occupied even-numbered floor. So, G stays either on floor 2 or on floor 4. But G does not stay on the second floor. So, G stays on the fourth floor. Thus, only I is sufficient to answer the question.
From II. G stays either on 2nd or on 4th floor. Hence, II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

7. (5); From I. According to Mohit, the possible days for Raju to complete his assignment are 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days or 8 days.
From II. According to Meena, possible days for Raju to complete his assignment are 8 days, 9 days or 10 days.
From I and II. 8 is common in both the statements. Hence Raju completes his assignment in 8 days.

8. (3);

 Hence, I is sufficient to answer the question.


Thus, either I or II is sufficient to answer the question.

9. (4); From I. D > A
From II. D > C
From I and II. School D has more students than A and C, but nothing has been said about B.
So, we can’t determine the school with the highest number of students among school A, B, C and D

(10-14):
10. (3)

11. (2)

12. (3)

13. (2); In all other pairs, the first person is second to the left of the second.

14. (1);  There is only one person C whose position remains unchanged.
