Puzzle Test Questions and Answers

Answer: B

In terms of weight, F < B, D < B, B < E, E < C. So, we have : D < F < B < E < C or F < D < B < E < C. C is not the heaviest. So, A is the heaviest. Thus, the sequence becomes : F < D < B < E < C < A or D < F < B < E < C < A.
D is the brother of F.
B is the mother of D and F.
A, being the heaviest, is the grandfather.
Now, C is a lady and so one couple is AC.
B is a female and so on cannot pair up with C. So, the other couples is BE.
The descending order of weights is :
A > C > E > B > F > D or A > C > E > B > D > F.
Clearly, C comes second.

Answer: B

B and F are children of D.
A is grandmother of F. So, B and F represent third generation.
Now, C is the daughter-in-law of E. So, A and E form a couple and represent first generstion. A, being mother, is a female and so E is a male.
C is the daughter-in-law of E and so D is E's son. Thus, CD is the other couple and represents second generation.
C likes black, B likes pink. Green and yellow are the preferences of a couple. So, A likes yellow and E likes green. Now, F does not like red. So, F likes white and D likes red.
Now F likes white and so cannot be a lady. B is the son of D and hence a male.
A prefers yellow colour.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Four

C is the daughter-in-law of E and B and F are children of D, so the three generations are A and E, then D and C, then B and F. A is a grandmother and C likes black, so both are women. Since no lady likes green or white, the green husband and yellow wife must be E and A, leaving red and white for D and F. F does not like red, so F takes white - and no lady likes white, so F is male. That gives E, D, B and F: four male members.

Answer: A

B and F are children of D.
A is grandmother of F. So, B and F represent third generation.
Now, C is the daughter-in-law of E. So, A and E form a couple and represent first generstion. A, being mother, is a female and so E is a male.
C is the daughter-in-law of E and so D is E's son. Thus, CD is the other couple and represents second generation.
C likes black, B likes pink. Green and yellow are the preferences of a couple. So, A likes yellow and E likes green. Now, F does not like red. So, F likes white and D likes red.
Now F likes white and so cannot be a lady. B is the son of D and hence a male.
Both F and B are males and both are children of D. So, F is the brother of B.

Answer: D

B and F are children of D.
A is grandmother of F. So, B and F represent third generation.
Now, C is the daughter-in-law of E. So, A and E form a couple and represent first generstion. A, being mother, is a female and so E is a male.
C is the daughter-in-law of E and so D is E's son. Thus, CD is the other couple and represents second generation.
C likes black, B likes pink. Green and yellow are the preferences of a couple. So, A likes yellow and E likes green. Now, F does not like red. So, F likes white and D likes red.
Now F likes white and so cannot be a lady. B is the son of D and hence a male.
Yellow - Green is the colour combination of the couple AE.

Answer: B

B and F are children of D.
A is grandmother of F. So, B and F represent third generation.
Now, C is the daughter-in-law of E. So, A and E form a couple and represent first generstion. A, being mother, is a female and so E is a male.
C is the daughter-in-law of E and so D is E's son. Thus, CD is the other couple and represents second generation.
C likes black, B likes pink. Green and yellow are the preferences of a couple. So, A likes yellow and E likes green. Now, F does not like red. So, F likes white and D likes red.
Now F likes white and so cannot be a lady. B is the son of D and hence a male.
AE and CD are two couples.

Answer: C

Correct answer: T, U, R, V, S

Test each option against the four rules. V, Q, R, T, S has V before R when V must come after it. U, Q, S, T, W ends with W, and the last program must be S or U. Q, S, R, V, U contains Q with no T after it. P, R, V, S, U has P and V on the same day. T, U, R, V, S breaks none of them: V follows R, the day ends with S, and neither P nor Q appears.

Answer: C

Clearly, if R is operated at the fourth place, V must be operated somewhere after it. This is not possible since the fifth program is the last one which has to be either S or U. So, R cannot be operated at the fourth Place.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Q

With R third, V must come after it, and the day must end with S or U, so V takes the fourth place and the fifth is S or U. That fixes positions three, four and five, leaving only the first two free. Q requires T to be operated after it, and there is now no place for T at all - so Q cannot be second.

Answer: D

Since R is operated, so V must also be operated.
Also, S or U is to be taken at the end.
So, the possible combinations are Q, S, V and T, S, V.
Now, Q must have T as one of the programs after it, which is not possible. So, Q, S, V is incorrect
