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 R is at position (1,1) with number 6. • The item at (2,2) has number 12. • The item at (2,2) is Green colored. • The item with number 8 is in the same column as the Green item. • No item in Row 1 is Red. What item is in Row 2, Column 2?
Step-by-step Solution:

1. Direct Assignments:
- (1,1) = R (Number 6)
- (2,2) = Number 12, Color Green

2. Column Constraints:
- The number 8 is in the same column as Green (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 Red items

4. Diagonal Relationship:
- U is diagonally opposite the Purple item

Final Grid:

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

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

Question 2

Question 4

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 5

Six items are placed on six shelves (1=bottom, 6=top). Each item has a unique color and is Small, Medium, or Large (exactly two of each). No two adjacent shelves have the same size.

No two adjacent shelves have the same size. • The item on Shelf 3 is Green colored. • The Black item is on Shelf 2, which is 3 shelves below the Trophy. • The Small-sized item is the Lamp. • The item on Shelf 1 is not Red. What item is on Shelf 4?
Step-by-step Solution:

1. Size Pattern (Clue 1):
- Shelf 6: Large
- No adjacent same size + exactly 2 each → sizes forced:
- S6: Large
- S5: Medium
- S4: Small
- S3: Large
- S2: Small
- S1: Medium

2. Positional Relationship (Clue 3):
- The Black item is on Shelf 2
- Shelf 2 is 3 shelves below Shelf 5
- Therefore, Shelf 5 has the Trophy item

3. Size-Item Link (Clue 4):
- The Small-sized item is the Lamp
- Shelf 4 is Small-sized
- Therefore, Shelf 4 contains the Lamp

Complete Arrangement:

| Shelf | Item | Color | Size |

Question 7

Eight people work in a company with hierarchical structure across four departments. Each department has a Director, Manager, and Executive (only two departments have complete teams). Given information: • Aditya is the Director of Sales department • Bhavna reports to Aditya and is a Manager • Chetan is an Executive in the Sales department • Deepika is the Director of Marketing department, working at the same level as Aditya • Eshan is one level below Deepika in the same department • The Executive in Marketing department reports to Eshan • Falguni is in the Marketing department What is Eshan's designation?
Step-by-step Solution:

Layer 1: Department Assignment
- Sales: Aditya, Bhavna, Chetan
- Marketing: Deepika, Eshan, Falguni

Layer 2: Hierarchical Level
Three levels in each department:
1. Director (Top)
2. Manager (Middle)
3. Executive (Bottom)

Layer 3: Reporting Structure

Sales Department:
- Director: Aditya
- Manager: Bhavna (reports to Aditya)
- Executive: Chetan (reports to Bhavna)

Marketing Department:
- Director: Deepika (same level as Aditya)
- One level below Director: Manager level
- Eshan is one level below Deepika

Cross-Layer Integration:
Eshan is one level below Director Deepika in Marketing.
The level below Director is Manager.

Answer: Manager

Question 8

Five individuals must be matched to their Car, Pet, and City of residence. No two individuals share any of these attributes. Given information: • **Either** the person with the **Snake** lives in **Chicago**, **OR** the person with the **Bird** drives a **Truck**. • The person in **Miami** does not own a **Cat** and does not drive a **Hatchback**. • If a person drives a **SUV**, their city is not **LA**. • **Carl** is the one who owns the **Cat**. • The person who drives a **Sedan** is **Evan**, who is also the one from **Boston**. If you assume the second part of the Bi-Conditional clue (Clue 1) is **true**, what car does Alex drive?
Step-by-step Solution (Requires Case-Based Reasoning):

1. Analyze the Bi-Conditional Clue (Clue 1):
- Clue 1: (Pet=Snake → City=Chicago) OR (Pet=Bird → Car=Truck)
- The question asks you to assume the second part is TRUE: The person with the Bird drives a Truck.

2. Case 2 Deduction (Second part TRUE):
- Person X → Pet: Bird and Car: Truck

3. Anchor Assignments (Clues 4 & 5):
- Clue 4: Carl → Pet: Cat.
- Clue 5: Evan → Car: Sedan and City: Boston.

4. Inter-Layer Elimination:
- Use the Exclusionary Clue 2 (Miami city) and Conditional Link Clue 3 (SUV car is not LA city).
- By tracking all exclusions and the definite assignments from the two layers, you can uniquely place the remaining Person, Car, Pet, and City for Alex.
- The only remaining car for Alex after all other constraints are met is the SUV.

Answer: SUV

Question 9

Question 20

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.
