Puzzle Test Questions and Answers

Answer: A

The given information can be analysed as follows :
(A) Mode of Transport : R goes by Car, Q by Aeroplane, S by Boat and T by Train.
Now, only P remains. So, P travel by Bus.
(B) Place of Travel : R goes to Bangalore, Q to Calcutta. Now, bus transport is not available for Delhi or Chennai. So, P who travels by Bus goes to Hyderabad. S travels by boat and hence, by (ii), did not go to delhi. So, S goes to Chennai. Now, only T remains. So, T goes to Delhi.

Clearly, the incorrect combination is Delhi -- Bus. So, the answer is (a).

Answer: B

The given information can be analysed as follows :

Since A and B are not alike and because A is industrial, B cannot be industrial but only a hill station.
So, we put a cross for B across industrial.
Clearly, A, C, E, and F are industrial centres, So, the answer is (b).

Answer: C

The given information can be analysed as follows :

Since A and B are not alike and because A is industrial, B cannot be industrial but only a hill station.
So, we put a cross for B across industrial.
Clearly, C and F are Historical places. So, the answer is (c).

Answer: C

The given information can be analysed as follows :

Since A and B are not alike and because A is industrial, B cannot be industrial but only a hill station.
So, we put a cross for B across industrial.
Clearly, B, C, D, E and F are Hill station. So, the answer (c).

Answer: A

The given information can be analysed as follows :

Since A and B are not alike and because A is industrial, B cannot be industrial but only a hill station.
So, we put a cross for B across industrial.
E alone is a Hill station and an industrial centre but not a Historical place. So, the answer is (a).

Answer: D

The given information can be analysed as follows :

Since A and B are not alike and because A is industrial, B cannot be industrial but only a hill station.
So, we put a cross for B across industrial.
B and D are neither Historical places nor Industrial centres. So, the answer is (d).

Answer: C

(I). A and E are good in studies; C is poor in studies. The remaining two i.e. B and D are average in studies.
(II). A comes from a rich family; E belong to a poor family.
Now, B and D are average in studies. So, B and D come from middle-class families.
Now, C remains. So, C belongs to a poor family (because two boys come from poor families).
(III). The students who are poor and average in studies are in under-graduate classes i.e. B, C and D.
The remaining two i.e. A and E study in post-graduate classes.
(IV). B, C and E are industrious. A is not industrious. Now, two boys are not industrious.
So, D is also not industrious.
(V). Two boys interested in acting are not industrious. So, A and D are interested in acting. The boy interested in music comes from middle-class family. B and D come from middle-class families. But D is interested in acting. So, B is interested in music. E is not interested in any activity. Clearly, C is interested in sports.
C is interested in sports.
