Puzzle Test Questions and Answers

Answer: C

T is a female teacher with blue dress.
T married a lawyer. Now, P is an engineer and Q is a doctor. Clearly, T married R.
R is, thus, a male lawyer with brown dress.
One couple is RT. So, the other couple is PQ
P is a male engineer and has the same dress as R i.e., brown
Q is a female doctor and has the same dress as T i.e., blue.
S is the sister of P. S is a female engineer. Now, U remains. Since there are two lawyers, so U is a lawyer.
Both S and U have either black or green dress.

U's dress is black or green in colour

Answer: E

Mohini is mother-in-law of Sunita and grandmother of Nanu. Vinod is grandfather of Tanmay. So, Nanu and Tanmay represent third generation.
Mohini and Vinod form a couple and represent first generation.
Clearly, Roha and Sunita form the other couple and represent second generation.\
Rohan is a CA. Since engineer is married, so Vinod is an engineer and likes red colour.

Answer: C

We analyse the given information as follows :
Two are hill station.
Three are plains of which two are harbours.
Four towns are capitals.
Two towns are industrial.
Two towns have population less than 5 lacs.
One town has population 20 lacs.
Two towns have population more than 50 lacs.
Two towns are on same latitudes.
B is a hill station. E is a harbour. Clearly, A which has the same longitude as E, cannot be a harbour and clearly, D having population 20 lacs cannot be an industrial town. So, it is a harbour. Thus, E and D are harbours.
Clearly, one harbour is industrial town but D is not. So, E is an industrial town with population more than 50 lacs. Clearly, longitudes of a hill station and industrial town are same. So, A having same longitude as E, is a hill station. Latitudes of D and C are same and D is harbour. So, C cannot be a hill station. So, B is the other hill station. Thus, three plains are C, D, E. One industrial town is neither a hill station nor a harbour. So, C is an industrial town with population more than 50 lacs. Clearly, both harbours are capitals. So, E and D are capitals. The hill station A, having same longitude as a harbour, is also a capital. Population of D is 20 lacs. So, population of A and B is less than 5 lacs. Clearly, only one hill station is capital. So, C is the other capital.
Clearly, population of A and B is less than 5 lacs.

Answer: E

We analyse the given information as follows :
Two are hill station.
Three are plains of which two are harbours.
Four towns are capitals.
Two towns are industrial.
Two towns have population less than 5 lacs.
One town has population 20 lacs.
Two towns have population more than 50 lacs.
Two towns are on same latitudes.
B is a hill station. E is a harbour. Clearly, A which has the same longitude as E, cannot be a harbour and clearly, D having population 20 lacs cannot be an industrial town. So, it is a harbour. Thus, E and D are harbours.
Clearly, one harbour is industrial town but D is not. So, E is an industrial town with population more than 50 lacs. Clearly, longitudes of a hill station and industrial town are same. So, A having same longitude as E, is a hill station. Latitudes of D and C are same and D is harbour. So, C cannot be a hill station. So, B is the other hill station. Thus, three plains are C, D, E. One industrial town is neither a hill station nor a harbour. So, C is an industrial town with population more than 50 lacs. Clearly, both harbours are capitals. So, E and D are capitals. The hill station A, having same longitude as a harbour, is also a capital. Population of D is 20 lacs. So, population of A and B is less than 5 lacs. Clearly, only one hill station is capital. So, C is the other capital.
Clearly, B is not a capital.

Answer: D

We analyse the given information as follows :
Two are hill station.
Three are plains of which two are harbours.
Four towns are capitals.
Two towns are industrial.
Two towns have population less than 5 lacs.
One town has population 20 lacs.
Two towns have population more than 50 lacs.
Two towns are on same latitudes.
B is a hill station. E is a harbour. Clearly, A which has the same longitude as E, cannot be a harbour and clearly, D having population 20 lacs cannot be an industrial town. So, it is a harbour. Thus, E and D are harbours.
Clearly, one harbour is industrial town but D is not. So, E is an industrial town with population more than 50 lacs. Clearly, longitudes of a hill station and industrial town are same. So, A having same longitude as E, is a hill station. Latitudes of D and C are same and D is harbour. So, C cannot be a hill station. So, B is the other hill station. Thus, three plains are C, D, E. One industrial town is neither a hill station nor a harbour. So, C is an industrial town with population more than 50 lacs. Clearly, both harbours are capitals. So, E and D are capitals. The hill station A, having same longitude as a harbour, is also a capital. Population of D is 20 lacs. So, population of A and B is less than 5 lacs. Clearly, only one hill station is capital. So, C is the other capital.
Harbours are E and D, capitals are A, C, D and E and industrial towns are C and E. So, E is harbour, capital and industrial town.

Answer: C

One town has population 20 lacs.
Two towns have population more than 50 lacs.
Two towns are on same latitudes.
B is a hill station. E is a harbour. Clearly, A which has the same longitude as E, cannot be a harbour and clearly, D having population 20 lacs cannot be an industrial town. So, it is a harbour. Thus, E and D are harbours.
Clearly, one harbour is industrial town but D is not. So, E is an industrial town with population more than 50 lacs. Clearly, longitudes of a hill station and industrial town are same. So, A having same longitude as E, is a hill station. Latitudes of D and C are same and D is harbour. So, C cannot be a hill station. So, B is the other hill station. Thus, three plains are C, D, E. One industrial town is neither a hill station nor a harbour. So, C is an industrial town with population more than 50 lacs. Clearly, both harbours are capitals. So, E and D are capitals. The hill station A, having same longitude as a harbour, is also a capital. Population of D is 20 lacs. So, population of A and B is less than 5 lacs. Clearly, only one hill station is capital. So, C is the other capital.
Clearly, the industrial towns C and E have a population of more than 50 lacs.
