Puzzle Test Questions and Answers

Answer: E

In terms of height, we have :
B < F, C < F, C < D, E < D, F < E, A < E, F < A.
So, C < F <  E < D, B < F, F < A < E
Thus, the sequence becomes :
B < C < F < A < E < D or C < B < F < A < E < D.
In terms of weight, we have :
A < B, A < C, B < D, D < F.
So, A < B < D < F, A < C.
Thus, the sequence becomes :
A < C < B < D < F or A < B < C < D < F or A < B < D < C < F.
Data is inadequate as no clue regarding E's weight is given.

Answer: C

In terms of height, we have :
B < F, C < F, C < D, E < D, F < E, A < E, F < A.
So, C < F <  E < D, B < F, F < A < E
Thus, the sequence becomes :
B < C < F < A < E < D or C < B < F < A < E < D.
In terms of weight, we have :
A < B, A < C, B < D, D < F.
So, A < B < D < F, A < C.
Thus, the sequence becomes :
A < C < B < D < F or A < B < C < D < F or A < B < D < C < F.
Clearly F is heavier than B and C but shorter than D

Answer: E

In terms of age, we have :
E < B, C < A, A < E, A < D
So, we have : C < A < E < B < A < D.
In terms of height, we have :
B < C, D < C, E < C, D < A
Either B or D is the eldest.

Answer: E

In terms of age, we have :
E < B, C < A, A < E, A < D
So, we have : C < A < E < B < A < D.
In terms of height, we have :
B < C, D < C, E < C, D < A
It cannot be determined for sure.

Answer: A

In terms of age, we have :
E < B, C < A, A < E, A < D
So, we have : C < A < E < B < A < D.
In terms of height, we have :
B < C, D < C, E < C, D < A
B is shorter than C. So, B is not the tallest. Thus, (i) is correct.
B and E are shorter than C. So, it cannot be conclude that B is shorter to E. Thus, (ii) is incorrect.
A single definite order of heights cannot be obtained from the given information. So, (iii) is incorrect.

Answer: E

In terms of age, we have :
E < B, C < A, A < E, A < D
So, we have : C < A < E < B < A < D.
In terms of height, we have :
B < C, D < C, E < C, D < A
Since no definite order of height can be obtained, so it cannot be determined for sure how many persons lie between F and E.

Answer: B

In terms of age, we have :
E < B, C < A, A < E, A < D
So, we have : C < A < E < B < A < D.
In terms of height, we have :
B < C, D < C, E < C, D < A
A and C are youngest so they cannot be selected. D is shorter than two persons A and C.
B is shorter than C only and is also relatively older. So, B will be selected.
E is younger than B.

Answer: E

In terms of height, we have :
T > P, T > S, Q > T > P.
R plays Volleyball, so R is the shortest.
Q plays neither Vollyball nor Basketball.
So, Q is not the tallest. Thus, U is the tallest.
So, the sequence becomes : U > Q > T > P > S > R.
Now, T plays Tennis, U, being tallest, plays Basketball. R plays Volleyball. Q plays Football. Both P and S play either Cricket or Badminton.
S is taller than R but shorter than P.

Answer: D

In terms of height, we have :
T > P, T > S, Q > T > P.
R plays Volleyball, so R is the shortest.
Q plays neither Vollyball nor Basketball.
So, Q is not the tallest. Thus, U is the tallest.
So, the sequence becomes : U > Q > T > P > S > R.
Now, T plays Tennis, U, being tallest, plays Basketball. R plays Volleyball. Q plays Football. Both P and S play either Cricket or Badminton.
The descending order of height is U, Q, T, P, S, R.
Clearly, T is at the third place.

Answer: A

In terms of height, we have :
T > P, T > S, Q > T > P.
R plays Volleyball, so R is the shortest.
Q plays neither Vollyball nor Basketball.
So, Q is not the tallest. Thus, U is the tallest.
So, the sequence becomes : U > Q > T > P > S > R.
Now, T plays Tennis, U, being tallest, plays Basketball. R plays Volleyball. Q plays Football. Both P and S play either Cricket or Badminton.
Clearly, P is taller than R.
