Puzzle Test Questions and Answers

Answer: E

Clearly, D must be staged on Friday. A must be staged before E i.e., order AE must be followed. But E cannot be staged on last day. Also, B must be staged immediately after F i.e., order FB must be followed. But B cannot precede D. So, F and B can be staged on Monday and Tuesday and A and E on Wednesday and Thursday. C, which cannot be staged on Tuesday shall be staged on Saturday. Thus, the order followed will be :

 Clearly, order of staging of plays in F, B, A, E, D, C.
So, the answer is (e).

Answer: C

Clearly, D must be staged on Friday. A must be staged before E i.e., order AE must be followed. But E cannot be staged on last day. Also, B must be staged immediately after F i.e., order FB must be followed. But B cannot precede D. So, F and B can be staged on Monday and Tuesday and A and E on Wednesday and Thursday. C, which cannot be staged on Tuesday shall be staged on Saturday. Thus, the order followed will be :

C cannot be staged on Friday as well because D has to be staged on that day.

Answer: A

Let us denote the five boys by the first letter of their names, namely S, K, M A and R.
Then,
R < S < K < M  and  S < A < K.
R < S < A < K < M.
Rohan is shortest. So, the answer is (a).

Answer: D

Let us denote the five boys by the first letter of their names, namely S, K, M A and R.
Then,
R < S < K < M  and  S < A < K.
R < S < A < K < M.
Anuj is in the middle. So, the answer is (d).

Answer: B

Let us denote the five boys by the first letter of their names, namely S, K, M A and R.
Then,
R < S < K < M  and  S < A < K.
R < S < A < K < M.

Answer: B

Let us denote the five boys by the first letter of their names, namely S, K, M A and R.
Then,

Answer: D

The given information can be analysed as follows :
E is not at end. So, E must be in the middle of one of two rows.
D is second to the left of F. So, order of the row must be D -- F.
C is neighbour of E and is sitting diagonally opposite to D means C is under F in the other row 
i.e. D __ F 
__ E C
B is the neighbour of F.
So, the arrangement must be  D B F  &  A E C
Other than D and C (given), A and F are sitting diagonally opposite to each other, as seen in the arrangement.
So, the answer is (d).

Answer: D

The given information can be analysed as follows :
E is not at end. So, E must be in the middle of one of two rows.
D is second to the left of F. So, order of the row must be D -- F.
C is neighbour of E and is sitting diagonally opposite to D means C is under F in the other row 
i.e. D __ F 
__ E C
B is the neighbour of F.
So, the arrangement must be  D B F  &  A E C
Clearly, E is opposite to B in the other row. So, E is facing B and the answer is (d).

Answer: A

The given information can be analysed as follows :
E is not at end. So, E must be in the middle of one of two rows.
D is second to the left of F. So, order of the row must be D -- F.
C is neighbour of E and is sitting diagonally opposite to D means C is under F in the other row 
i.e. D __ F 
__ E C
B is the neighbour of F.
So, the arrangement must be  D B F  &  A E C
Clearly, from amongst the given alternatives, A and E are in the same row. So, the answer is (a).
