Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting in a circle facing the centre. B is sitting between G and D. H is third to the left of B and second to the right of A. C is sitting between A and G and B and E are not sitting opposite to each other. Which of the following statements is not correct ?

A.C is third to the right of D
B.A is sitting between C and F
C.D and A are sitting opposite of each other
D.E is sitting between F and D
E.E and C are sitting opposite of each other

Answer: D

B is between G and D i.e. the order is G B D. H is third to the left of B and second to the right of A.
So, forming a circle we have :
C is between A and G. But E is not opposite B.
So, Cis between A and H.
Thus, the final arrangement becomes :
Clearly, E is not sitting between F and D.

All the roads of a city are either perpendicular or parallel to one another. The roads are all straight. Roads A, B, C, D and E are parallel to one another. Roads G, H, I, J, K, L and M are parallel to one another.
(i). Road A is 1 km east of road B.
(ii). Road B is ½ km west of road C.
(iii). Road D is 1 km west of road E.
(iv). Road G is ½ km south of road H.
(v). Road I is 1 km north of road J.
(vi). Road K is ½ km north of road L.
(vii). Road K is 1 km south of road M. Which is necessarily true ?

A.E and B intersect
B.D is 2 km west of B
C.D is at least 2 km west of A
D.M is 1.5 km north of L
E.I is 1 km north of L

Answer: D

Clearly from statements (1) and (2), figure 1 follows; from statement (3), figure 2 follows; from statement (4), figure 3 follows; and from statement (5), figure 4 follows; and from statements (6) and (7), figure 5 follows.

It follows from figure 5 that distance of M from L = LK + KM = ½ + 1 = 1.5 km and M is to the north of L.

A.D is 2 km west of A
B.C is less than 1.5 km from D
C.Distance from E to B added to distance of E to C is ½ km
D.E is less than 1 km from A
E.D is less than 1 km from B

Answer: B

Clearly from statements (1) and (2), figure 1 follows; from statement (3), figure 2 follows; from statement (4), figure 3 follows; and from statement (5), figure 4 follows; and from statements (6) and (7), figure 5 follows.
If E is between B and C, we will have the following figure

A.½ km
B.1 km
C.1.5 Km
D.1.5-2 Km
E.2-2.5 Km

Answer: D

Clearly from statements (1) and (2), figure 1 follows; from statement (3), figure 2 follows; from statement (4), figure 3 follows; and from statement (5), figure 4 follows; and from statements (6) and (7), figure 5 follows.
From the figure in Q. 50, the distance between A and D
= AB + ED - BE = (1 + 1 - ¼) = 2 - .25 i.e. between 1.5 to 2 km.

A.I and K
B.J and G
C.I and G
D.J and H
E.K and J

Answer: E

Clearly from statements (1) and (2), figure 1 follows; from statement (3), figure 2 follows; from statement (4), figure 3 follows; and from statement (5), figure 4 follows; and from statements (6) and (7), figure 5 follows.
Clearly as per the information combination with figures 3 and 4, the figure is as shown. The two roads J and K, K and H & H and G ½ km apart, So, the answer is K and J.
