They are Doctor, Professor, Director, Actor, Minister, Business Person and Artist by profession not necessarily in the same order. Gargi is a Manager of a leading restaurant and invites the family to her restaurant having round tables for seating to have dinner. The family members select a table for dinner while Gargi is on duty.
Few other details are :

- D.
Mother
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
The seat numbers on the dining table can be defined as below:
From b - if C is seated on seat no.5, then the one who is a professor is on the seat no. 6.
From f, g and d - C is a Director and E sits second to the left of C. Also, there is one person between C and Grandmother of Gargi. Therefore, Grandmother can be at seat no. 3 i.e. E or at seat no. 7.
The Grandmother is seated to the immediate left of D who is a actor. So, there are two cases possible here:
If Grand mother is at seat no. 3, then D is at seat no. 4(CASE I ) and
If the Grandmother is at seat no. 7, the D is at seat no. 1(CASE II)
From h - Father, who is a doctor is between Professor and Sister of Gargi.
In Case II where Grandmother is at seat no. 7, the two neighbours of Professor are C(Director) and Grandmother. So in this case Father(Doctor) can't be between professor and a sister. So Case II gets eliminated.
Therefore, Grandmother is at seat no. 3 i.e. E is a Grandmother and D is at seat no. 4. Also, Father is at seat no. 7 and sister of Gargi is at seat no. 1.
From c and g - G, an artist is a sister of Gargi and is at seat no. 1. F, who is a Business person is at seat no. 2. As there are on three females in Gargi's family i.e. Mother, Sister and Grandmother and as G is a sister and E is a Grandmother of Gargi, therefore F is a Mother of Gargi.
So D is an actor is a Brother of Gargi.
Therefore the arrangement will be:
Seat no. 1 - G/Artist/Sister
Seat no. 2 - F/Business Person/Mother
Seat no. 3 - E/Minister/Grand Mother
Seat no. 4 - D/Actor/Brother
Seat no. 5 - C/Director/Grandfather or Uncle
Seat no. 6 - A or B/Professor/Grandfather or Uncle
Seat no. 7 - A or B/ Doctor/ Father

Answer: Option A
Explanation :
Starting from the left, the positions are:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A is the one who starts the game by standing in the middle i.e. at position 5.
As, all the directions are seen in mirror and the arrangement is done accordingly, therefore each instruction given will be interpreted in the opposite way.
For example if instruction says that A is third to the right of B, then A will be positioned third to the left of B.
From A - G is on the extreme right end i.e. on position no. 9 and D is on the immediate left of A i.e. on position no. 4.
From B - C is on the position no. 3 and is a boy.
From C - H is second to the right of B and on the immediate left of G i.e. H is at position no. 8 and B is at position no. 6.

The lift takes 1 minute to reach on 8th floor(where B gets down) and halts for 30 seconds there.
Now the lift takes 4 minutes to reach Groundd floor Where A bords the lift and halts for 30 seconds.
After that lift takes another 1 minute to reach the second floor.
So the total time taken by lift = 1 + 0.5 + 4 + 0.5 + 1 = 7 minutes
This means A will reach office by 9:15 and can leave office by 5:45.
Hence, option (d).
Workspace:
D steps into Lift 1 by mistake with A in it at 9:00 am at the ground floor and C is in Lift 2 at ground floor at the same time and realises only when the lift has started. Then approximately at what time will D reach office, if Lift 2 halts for additional 30 seconds after D boards it ?
- A.
9:16 am
- B.
9:14 am
- C.
9:11 am
- D.
9:10 am
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
Here C travels from Ground floor to the office and takes 3.5 minutes. Also it halts on the 7th floor for 30 seconds.
Now it takes another 3.5 minutes to reach ground floor and 30 seconds to halt there.
Therefore lift 2 will take total of 8 minutes and will take a start form ground floor at 9:08
Now, D travels to second floor from wrong lift and comes back to ground floor at 9:02 and 30 seconds. This means D is ready to baord lift 2 when it arrives.
As, lift 2 takes extra 30 seconds after D boards it, and D has to go on 11ths floor. Therefore total time taken by D to reach office is 5.5 + 0.5 = 6 minutes
So, Do will reach office by 9:14 am.
Hence, option (b).

Answer the questions based on the information given below.
In an organisation with three departments i.e. Marketing, Finance and HR, it was decided to shuffle the 70 employees between departments. To make optimum use of resources, the management assesses their capability based on their qualification. 3 employees can work in every department. 7 employees can work in Finance and Marketing only. 10 can work only in HR while the number of employees only in Marketing is double of that in only Finance. Employees in only Finance cannot be less than 10 while employees in Finance and HR only are three times of two less than that of Marketing and HR only. The organization has employees with all possible combinations of their capabilities.
How many employees at the maximum are capable to work in Finance ?
- A.
31
- B.
33
- C.
28
- D.
32
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
Let the employees who can work only oin Finance be x, therefore employees who can work only in Marketing is 2x.
Also let the employees who can work in Marketing and HR only be a, therefore employees who can work in Finance and Hr only is 3(a – 2) = 3a – 6
∴ 2x + x + 7 + 3 + 10 + a + 3a – 6 = 70
∴ 3x + 4a = 56
As no. of employees inFinance can't be less than 10, so there are two possible solutions, where x = 12 and K = 5 and x = 16 and k = 2. But of K is 2 then the employees who can work Finance and HR only will be zero.
Therefore x = 12 and K = 5
So no. of employees who can work only in Finance are 12 and no. of employees who can work only in Marketing are 24.
No. of employees who can work in Marketing and HR only are 5 and no. of employees who cana work in Finance and HR only are 3a – 6 = 9
no. of Employees capable of working in Finance = 7 + 3 + 9 + 12 = 31
Hence,option 1.

- D.
7
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
Let the employees who can work only oin Finance be x, therefore employees who can work only in Marketing is 2x.
Also let the employees who can work in Marketing and HR only be a, therefore employees who can work in Finance and Hr only is 3(a – 2) = 3a – 6
∴ 2x + x + 7 + 3 + 10 + a + 3a – 6 = 70
∴ 3x + 4a = 56
As no. of employees inFinance can't be less than 10, so there are two possible solutions, where x = 12 and K = 5 and x = 16 and k = 2. But of K is 2 then the employees who can work Finance and HR only will be zero.
Therefore x = 12 and K = 5
So no. of employees who can work only in Finance are 12 and no. of employees who can work only in Marketing are 24.
No. of employees who can work in Marketing and HR only are 5 and no. of employees who cana work in Finance and HR only are 3a – 6 = 9
Number of employees capable of Working in Marketing and HR only are 5.
Hence, option (b).
