Multi-Layer Puzzles Worksheet 3 - Beginner Level (complex arrangements) | 20 Questions

Question 1

Six items (P, Q, R, S, T, U) are arranged in a 2×3 grid (2 rows, 3 columns). Each has a unique color and associated number. Colors: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Given information: • Item Q is at position (1,1) with number 2. • The item at (2,2) has number 12. • The item at (2,2) is Purple colored. • The item with number 8 is in the same column as the Purple item. • No item in Row 1 is Purple. What item is in Row 2, Column 2?

Step-by-step Solution:

1. Direct Assignments:
- (1,1) = Q (Number 2)
- (2,2) = Number 12, Color Purple

2. Column Constraints:
- The number 8 is in the same column as Purple (Column 2)
- Therefore, either (1,2) or (2,2) has number 8
- Since (2,2) has 12, (1,2) must have number 8

3. Row Constraints:
- Row 1 has no Purple items

4. Diagonal Relationship:
- R is diagonally opposite the Orange item

Final Grid:

| Position | Item | Color | Number |
|----------|------|-------|--------|
| (1,1) | Q | Yellow | 2 |
| (1,2) | T | Red | 8 |
| (1,3) | R | Blue | 10 |
| (2,1) | S | Orange | 4 |
| (2,2) | P | Purple | 12 |
| (2,3) | U | Green | 6 |

Therefore, the item at (2,2) is P.

Question 2

Six people work in an office building with six floors (numbered 1-6 from bottom to top). Each works in a different department and has a different designation. Given information: • The Manager lives on a floor immediately above the Coordinator. • The person in IT does not work on an even-numbered floor. • Esha works in the department where the Manager works on Floor 1. • The Finance department person works on a floor that is two levels above the person in HR. • The Coordinator is on the floor with the Finance department. What is the designation of the person on Floor 4?

Step-by-step Solution (Requires 3-Layer Deduction Grid):

1. Initial Setup:
- Floors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Departments: Sales, HR, IT, Finance, Marketing, Operations
- Professions: Manager, Executive, Analyst, Coordinator, Specialist, Officer

2. Core Positional Deductions (Clue 4):
- Let Floor X = Person in HR.
- The Finance department (Dept Y) is on Floor X+2.
- Since HR is on Floor 2, the Finance department is on Floor 4.

3. Integrating Profession (Clue 5):
- The Coordinator is on the floor with the Finance department.
- Therefore, the person on Floor 4 is the Coordinator.

4. Verification with other clues:
- Clue 1: Manager must be on F2 and Coordinator on F1, OR Manager on F4 and Coordinator on F3, etc. This helps place other pairs.
- Clue 2: The person in IT must be on F1, F3, or F5 (odd floors).
- Clue 3: Esha is on F6. They are in the same department as the Manager on F1 (Dept: Sales). This links F1 and F6.

The integration of all these relative clues leads uniquely to the conclusion for Floor 4.

Answer: Coordinator

vertical-layering, 3-layer, profession, deductive-dependency

Question 3

Question 8

Four people move between four zones (A, B, C, D) during three time slots. Each person is in exactly one zone at any time, and multiple people can be in the same zone. Given information: • At 9 AM: Ankit is in Zone A, Bindu is in Zone B, Chirag is in Zone C, Disha is in Zone D • Ankit moves: Zone A → Zone B → Zone C • Bindu moves: Zone B → stays in Zone B → Zone D • Chirag moves: Zone C → Zone D → Zone A • Disha moves: Zone D → stays in Zone D → Zone B Which zone has exactly two people at 10 AM?

Step-by-step Solution:

At 9 AM (9 AM):
- Ankit → Zone A
- Bindu → Zone B
- Chirag → Zone C
- Disha → Zone D

Movement to 10 AM (10 AM):
- Ankit moves from Zone A to Zone B
- Bindu stays in Zone B
- Chirag moves from Zone C to Zone D
- Disha stays in Zone D

At 10 AM (10 AM):
- Ankit → Zone B
- Bindu → Zone B
- Chirag → Zone D
- Disha → Zone D

Zone Occupancy:
- Zone A: 0 person
- Zone B: 2 people
- Zone C: 0 person
- Zone D: 2 people

Therefore, Zone B has exactly two people at 10 AM.

Question 10

Five people live on five different floors of a building (numbered 1 to 5 from bottom to top). Each person likes a different color. Given information: • Priya lives on floor 3. • The person who likes Blue lives 2 floors away from Vikram. • Sneha does not like Green and is not on a floor adjacent to Amit. • The person who likes Yellow lives immediately below Priya. Who lives on floor 4?

Step-by-step Solution (Requires Deduction Grid):

1. Establish Knowns and Direct Assignments:
- Clue 1: Priya is on Floor 3 (Floor 3).
- Clue 4: The person liking Yellow (Color X) is on the floor immediately below Priya. Since Priya is on Floor 3, the person liking Color X must be on Floor 2.
- This means the person on Floor 3 is Priya, and the person on Floor 2 is the one liking Yellow.

2. Resolve Relative Positional Clues (Clue 2):
- Vikram is on Floor 2.
- The person liking Blue is on Floor 4 (2 floors away from Vikram). This helps place the color Blue on Floor 4.

3. Apply Exclusionary Clue (Clue 3):
- Sneha is on Floor 1. We know their color is NOT Green (the color on Floor 5). This helps narrow down the color possibilities for Floor 1.
- We also know Sneha is NOT adjacent to the target person on Floor 4, which is true as they are on F1.

4. Final Arrangement (Deduction):
By combining the fixed positions (F3 and F2) with the positional link (Clue 2) and the exclusions, the only unique arrangement is:

| Floor | Person | Color |
| :---: | :---: | :---: |
| 5 | Rohan | Green |
| 4 | Amit | Blue |
| 3 | Priya | White |
| 2 | Vikram | Yellow |
| 1 | Sneha | Red |

Answer: Amit

Question 11

Six items (P, Q, R, S, T, U) are arranged in a 2×3 grid (2 rows, 3 columns). Each has a unique color and associated number. Colors: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Given information: • Item S is at position (1,1) with number 2. • The item at (2,2) has number 12. • The item at (2,2) is Orange colored. • The item with number 8 is in the same column as the Orange item. • No item in Row 1 is Orange. What item is in Row 2, Column 2?

Step-by-step Solution:

1. Direct Assignments:
- (1,1) = S (Number 2)
- (2,2) = Number 12, Color Orange

2. Column Constraints:
- The number 8 is in the same column as Orange (Column 2)
- Therefore, either (1,2) or (2,2) has number 8
- Since (2,2) has 12, (1,2) must have number 8

3. Row Constraints:
- Row 1 has no Orange items

4. Diagonal Relationship:
- R is diagonally opposite the Yellow item

Final Grid:

| Position | Item | Color | Number |
|----------|------|-------|--------|
| (1,1) | S | Green | 2 |
| (1,2) | U | Blue | 8 |
| (1,3) | R | Red | 10 |
| (2,1) | Q | Yellow | 4 |
| (2,2) | T | Orange | 12 |
| (2,3) | P | Purple | 6 |

Therefore, the item at (2,2) is T.

Question 12

Six people work in three departments with two shift timings across three working days. Each person may work multiple days but only one shift per day. Given information: • **If** a person works the **Evening** shift, **then** they must be in the **HR** department. • Neha works Evening (Evening) shift in Marketing (Marketing) on Wednesday. • No person works Morning (Morning) shift on Friday (Friday) in the Marketing department. • Priya works in HR on Wednesday. If Rohan works in Sales and is on the Evening shift, which department must be the exception to the main conditional rule?

Step-by-step Solution (Requires Rule Exception Analysis):

1. Analyze the Core Conditional Rule (Clue 1):
- Rule: If Shift = Evening, then Department = HR.
- This implies: Any non-HR department cannot have an Evening shift worker.

2. Check the Contradictory Clue (Clue 2):
- Clue 2: Neha (a person) works Evening shift in the Marketing (Marketing) department.

3. Identify the Exception:
- Clue 2 presents a direct contradiction to Clue 1. Since all clues are given as true, the conditional rule must have an unstated exception.
- The person in the Marketing department works the Evening shift, violating the rule that all Evening shifters must be in HR.
- Therefore, Marketing is the implied exception to the Conditional Rule's outcome.

Answer: Marketing
