(i). Six friends P, Q, R, S, T and U are members of a club and play a different game of Football, Cricket, Tennis, Basketball, Badminton and Volleyball.
(ii). T who is taller than P and S plays Tennis.
(iii). The tallest among them plays Basketball.
(iv). The shorter among them play Volleyball.
(v). Q and S neither play Vollyball nor Basketball.
(vi). R plays Volleyball.
(vii). T is between Q who plays Football and P in order of height.
Who among them is taller than T but shorter than U ?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Q
From the conditions, U is the tallest since he plays basketball, and R is the shortest since he plays volleyball. T stands between Q and P in height and is taller than P and S.
The descending order therefore begins U, Q, T, which places Q between U and T.

Who among them plays Basketball ?
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.
U plays Basketball.

What does S play ?
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.
S plays either Cricket or Badminton.

At the end of a cricket series, when five players were arranged iin the ascending order of runs scored by them, O was fourth while N was first. When they were arranged in descending order for wickets taken by them, K replaces O while O replaces L. M's position remains unchanged. K has scored more runs than M. L is having first rank in ine ranking and fifth in another.
Who has scored the highest runs in the series ?
Answer: B
In terms of runs scored, we have the ascending order as N < ? < ? < O < ?.
N has the first rank. So, L will be fifth in this order i.e. N < ? < ? < O < L.
K has scored more runs than M i.e. K > M.
So, the sequence becomes N < M < K < O < L.
In terms of wickets taken, the order becomes : L > M > N > K > O.
L has scored the highest runs in the series.

Who has taken the lowest number of wickets ?
Answer: E
In terms of runs scored, we have the ascending order as N < ? < ? < O < ?.
N has the first rank. So, L will be fifth in this order i.e. N < ? < ? < O < L.
K has scored more runs than M i.e. K > M.
So, the sequence becomes N < M < K < O < L.
In terms of wickets taken, the order becomes : L > M > N > K > O.
O has taken the lowest number of wickets.

A * B means A and B are of the same age;
A - B means B is younger than A;
A + B means A is younger than B;
Sachin * Madan - Reena means
Answer: A
Correct answer: Reena is the youngest
Read the two symbols in turn. Sachin * Madan means the two are of the same age. Madan − Reena means Reena is younger than Madan. Since Sachin equals Madan and Reena is below Madan, Reena is below both - the youngest of the three.

X + Y + Z is same as toX + Y + Z is same as to
Answer: B
Correct answer: Z-Y-X
X + Y means X is younger than Y, and Y + Z means Y is younger than Z, so the ages run \( X < Y < Z \). Now read Z − Y − X: the first says Y is younger than Z, the second that X is younger than Y. That is the same ordering expressed with the other symbol, so the two statements are equivalent.

Deven - Shashi * Hemant is opposite to
(i). Hemant + Shashi + Deven
(ii). Hemant - Shashi + Deven
(iii). Shashi * Hemant + Deven
Answer: D
Deven - Shashi * Hemant means Shashi is younger than Deven, and Shashi and Hemant are of the same age. Thus, Deven is the oldest. Now, the opposite statement would mean : Deven is the youngest.
(i). Hemant + Shashi + Deven means Hemant is younger than Shashi, who is younger then Deven. So, Deven is the oldest.
(ii). Hemant - Shashi + Deven means Shashi is younger than both Hemant and Deven. Thus, either Hemant or Deven is the oldest, but Deven is not the youngest.
(iii). Shashi * Hemant + Deven means Shashi and Hemant are of the same age and Hemant is younger than Deven. So, Deven is the oldest.
