1. IIFT 2017 LR | LR - Rank & Ordering
What is Mohit’s rank from the top in an annual appraisal of a FMCG Company comprising of 70 sales executives?
I. Mohit is 5 ranks below Rashmi from the top
II. Rashmi’s rank from the bottom is 44
III. Mohit is 5 ranks above Rashmi from the bottom
Answer: Option
D
Explanation :
Note that none of the options have a single statement as the answer. So, there is no point evaluating individual statements alone.
Also, statements I and III contradict each other w.r.t. Mohit’s position. Hence, only I and III cannot provide the answer. Hence, options 1 and 3 can be eliminated.
Since it is known that there are 70 executives, statement II fixes Rashmi’s position as 44th from bottom (or 27th from top).
Now, statement I (or III) provides Mohit’s position w.r.t. Rashmi. Hence, Mohit’s rank from the top can be found.
Hence, only statement II and either statement I or III are sufficient to answer the question.
Hence, option 4.

Taking note of the day-long heavy queue in front of the Tarangabad Transport Department office everyday for obtaining transport permits, the City Administration comes out with a ‘Single Office-Five Windows’ system for facilitating the process. For simplicity, the windows are named as W1, W2, W3, W4 and W5 respectively. Office hours are from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, barring Saturday, when the office closes by 2.30 PM. To streamline the rush and reduce pressure on the employees, the working hours of the aforesaid windows are defined in the following manner:
- W1 is open between 9.30 AM and 2.30 PM on Monday and Wednesday, between 8.00 AM and 11.30 AM on Tuesday and Thursday and between 3.00 PM and 5.00 PM on Friday.
- W2 is open between 8.30 AM and 11.30 AM on Wednesday and Thursday, between 8.00 AM and 10.00 AM on Friday, and between 12.30 PM and 2.30 PM on Monday and Saturday.
- W3 is open between 10.00 AM and 12.30 PM on Wednesday and Saturday, between 10.00 AM and 12.00 Noon on Friday, and between 3.30 PM and 5.30 PM on Monday and Thursday.
- W4 is open between 11.30 AM and 3.00 PM on Tuesday, between 12.30 PM and 3.00 PM on Thursday and Friday, between 8 AM and 10 AM on Saturday and Monday and between 3.30 PM to 5.30 PM on Wednesday.

Explanation :
Considering the options,
On Monday, windows W1 and W4 were open at 9:45 AM.
On Wednesday, windows W1, W2 and W5 were open at 9:45 AM.
On Thursday, windows W1 and W2 were open at 9:45 AM.
On Friday, only W2 was open at 9:45 AM.

On which of the following days, not more than one window is open simultaneously at any given time during office hours?
- A.
Monday
- B.
Wednesday
- C.
Friday
- D.
Saturday
Answer: Option
D
Explanation :
From the solution to the previous question, it can be seen that multiple windows were open at 9:45 on Monday and Wednesday. Hence, options 1 and 2 are eliminated.
On Friday, W1 is open between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM and W5 is open between 3:30 PM and 5:30 PM. Hence, option 3 is eliminated.
Hence, option 4.
Note: Once the first three options have been eliminated, there is no need to check whether multiple windows are open on Saturday. However, it can be independently verified.

A
Explanation :
Considering the options,
On Wednesday,
W1 is open between 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
W2 is open between 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM.
Hence, there is at least one window open between 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
W3 is open between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM. W4 is open between 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM.
W5 is open between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM.
Hence, a gap of one hour exists between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM.
Hence, option 1.
Note:
Once the answer has been determined as Wednesday, it is not required to verify the remaining options as well.

The cultural week started with which competition?
- A.
Flash-p competition
- B.
Debate competition
- C.
Street play competition
- D.
Rock band competition
Answer: Option
D
Explanation :
Create a table with three columns – date, day and competition – as shown below:
Since there were 6 competitions and 8 days, and only one competition was held per day; it means that exactly 2 days were completely free i.e. there was no competition on that day. It is given that these two days were Thursday and Sunday.
Now, street play was held on Monday.
Thus, the table becomes:
Flash-p was conducted a day before the debate and there was a gap of 2 days between the debate and the group song competition.
Therefore, there are 2 possibilities: GS __ Flash-p Debate or Flash-p Debate __ __ GS
Now, for flash-p and the debate to be on consecutive days, only two possibilities exist – Friday and Saturday or Tuesday and Wednesday.
If the debate is on Wednesday, the group song will have to be on Sunday, which is not possible.
Therefore, the flash-p competition and debate were on Friday and Saturday respectively. Therefore, the Group Song competition has to be on Tuesday.
Since the rock band competition was not held on the last day, it could have only been conducted on the first day i.e. October 19.
Therefore, the folk dance competition was held on the last day i.e. 26 October.
Thus, the final table is as shown below:

If SX4 and Esteem exchange their positions mutually then car (s) adjacent to Esteem is (are)?
- A.
i10 and Swift
- B.
Only Swift
- C.
Only Alto
- D.
Alto and Punto
Answer: Option
C
Explanation :
The parking lot can be as shown below:
___ ___ ___
___ ___ ___
Esteem is second to the right of i10.
Therefore, there are 2 possibilities:
___ ___ ___
i10 ___ Esteem
or
Esteem ___ i10
_________ ___ ___
Punto is parked diagonally opposite i10 and Alto is next to Punto.
Thus, we get:
___ Alto Punto
i10 ___ Esteem
or
Esteem ___ i10
Punto Alto ___
Now, SX4 is to the immediate right of Alto and Swift is opposite Alto.
Therefore, we get
SX4 Alto Punto
i10 Swift Esteem
or
Esteem Swift i10
Punto Alto SX4
Now, if SX4 and Esteem interchange their position, in either case, the car next to Esteem will be Alto.
There is no other car next to Esteem.
Hence, option 3.

In the original parking scheme four new cars enter the parking lot such that Wagon-R is second to the right of i10 and Zen is second to the left of SX4. Jazz is parked second to the left to Wagon-R and Beat is parked to the right of Alto then the cars that moved out are?
- A.
Esteem and Swift
- B.
Punto and Alto
- C.
i10 and Alto
- D.
Punto and SX4
Answer: Option
D
Explanation :
4 new cars have entered the car park.
Wagon-R is second to the right of i10, Zen is second to the left of SX4, Jazz is second to the left of Wagon-R and Beat is to the right of Alto.
Using these conditions, the arrangement is as shown below:
Wagon R Swift Jazz
Zen Alto Beat
or
Beat Alto Zen
Jazz Swift Wagon R
Thus, the cars that have gone out are Esteem, i10, Punto and Sx4.
Alto and Swift have not gone out. Options 1, 2 and 3 mention either Swift or Alto. Hence, options 1, 2 and 3 can be eliminated.
Hence, option 4.
Answer the following question based on the information given below.
i. Six friends Rahul, Kabeer, Anup, Raghu, Amit and Alok were engineering graduates. All six of them were placed in six different companies and were posted in six different locations, namely Tisco-Jamshedpur, Telco-Pune, Wipro-Bangalore, HCL-Noida, Mecon-Ranchi and Usha Martin-Kolkata. Each of them has their personal e-mail id’s with different email providers i.e., Gmail, Indiatimes, Rediffmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Sancharnet, though not necessarily in the same order.
ii. The one having e-mail account with Sancharnet works in Noida and the one having an e-mail account with Indiatimes works for Tisco.
iii. Amit does not stay in Bangalore and does not work for Mecon, the one who works for Mecon has an e-mail id with Gmail.
iv. Rahul has an e-mail id with Rediffmail and works at Pune.
v. Alok does not work for Mecon and the one who works for Wipro does not have an e-mail account with Yahoo.
vi. Kabeer is posted in Kolkata, and does not have an account with Hotmail.

The man who works in Wipro has a e-mail account with?
- A.
Sancharnet
- B.
Yahoo
- C.
Rediffmail
- D.
None of these
Answer: Option
D
Explanation :
Construct a table with the names of the graduates, companies, locations and email providers.
Note that the company and location are given as a pair.
Thus, if one of these two parameters is known for a person or corresponding to an email provider, the other is also automatically known.
From (ii), we get: HCL – Noida – Sancharnet and Tisco – Jamshedpur – Indiatimes.
Now, consider the information which directly mentions the location, company or provider for a person.
Rahul works for Telco in Pune and uses Rediffmail.
Kabeer works for Usha Martin in Kolkata and Anup works for Tisco in Jamshedpur.
Thus, the table is as shown below:
Now, since neither Alok nor Raghu work in Noida, Amit works for HCL in Noida.
Therefore, Amit uses Sancharnet.
Similarly, Anup uses Indiatimes.
Thus, the table becomes:
Since Alok does not work for Mecon, Raghu works for Mecon and Alok works for Wipro.
Therefore, Alok and Raghu work in Bangalore and Ranchi respectively.
Since the person who works in Mecon has an account with Gmail, Raghu has an account with Gmail.
Since the person who works in Wipro does not have a Yahoo account, Alok has to have a Hotmail account and Kabeer has to have a Yahoo account.
Thus, the final table is as shown below:
Thus, the person who works in Wipro has an e-mail account with Hotmail.
Hence, option 4.
