Puzzle Test Questions and Answers

Answer: A

Correct answer: A

Build the row from the clues. B is right of D, so D – B. A is right of B, so D – B – A. E is right of A and left of C, so E follows A and C follows E. The complete order is D, B, A, E, C, and the house in the middle of five is the third, which is A.

Answer: B

Q is left to R and to the right of P i.e. P, Q, R. O is to the right of N and left of P i.e. N, O, P. S is to the right of R and left of T i.e. R, S, T. So the order is : N, O, P, Q, R, S, T. Clearly, Q is in the middle.

Answer: D

S is sitting next to P. So, the order S, P or P, S is followed. K is sitting next to R. So, the order R, K is followed because R is on the extreme left. T is not next to P or K. So, the arrangement will be R, K, P, S, T. Clearly, P and T are sitting adjacent to S.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Rashi

Monika is at the middle, position three, and Rashi is next to her, so Rashi is at two or four. Take Rashi at two. Her other neighbour, position one, can be neither Sulekha nor Abha, so it must be Anuradha - who then sits at the end with only Rashi beside her. Rashi at four gives the mirror image with the same result, so Anuradha is adjacent to Rashi either way.

Answer: A

Correct answer: X

The statements give one chain: A knows more than Y, Y knows as much as B, and X knows more than A, so \( X > A > Y = B \). The remaining clue places C above Z but connects that pair to no one else, so C cannot be ranked against X at all. Of the four names offered, X is the only one standing above everyone it can be compared with.

Answer: C

Correct answer: D

Read each comparison as a link in one chain. A is less than B, B is less than C, and C is less than D, giving \( A < B < C < D \). The clue that A is more intelligent than E places E at the bottom, so the full order is \( E < A < B < C < D \) and D is the most intelligent.

Answer: A

Correct answer: P

P is taller than Q, and S is shorter than Q while taller than T, giving \( P > Q > S > T \). The remaining clue puts R below P. Every named person is therefore below P, either through the chain or directly, so P is the tallest - and note that R’s position among the others is left undetermined, which does not matter here.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Ravi

Two chains join at Manick. Vineet is taller than Manick but shorter than Ravi, giving \( Ravi > Vineet > Manick \). Jacob is shorter than Manick and taller than Dilip, giving \( Manick > Jacob > Dilip \). Joined together the order is Ravi, Vineet, Manick, Jacob, Dilip, so Ravi is the tallest.

Answer: A

In terms of rank, we have : Rohit < Sanjay, Dinesh < Vikas. Since Kamal`s rank is between Rohit and Vikas, the sequence becomes : Dinesh < Vikas < Kamal < Rohit < Sanjay. Clearly, Sanjay was ranked highest.
