Question 1

In the family tree, Eleanor is the mother of Edward. Sophie is the son of Edward and Alice. What is the relation between Eleanor and Sophie?
Tracing the family tree: Thomas → Edward → Sophie. Therefore, Thomas is the grandfather of Sophie. In family hierarchy, grandparents are two generations above grandchildren.

Question 3

In a queue of 41 people, Ram is 13th from the left and Sita is 15th from the right. There is an odd number of people between them. Gita stands exactly in the middle of Ram and Sita. What is Gita's rank from the right?
Rank(Sita,L) = 41 - 15 + 1 = 27. Between = 27 - 13 - 1 = 13 (odd). Gita is central, so Rank(Gita,L) = 13 + (13//2) + 1 = 20. Rank(Gita,R) = 41 - 20 + 1 = 22.

Question 4

Five people I, F, H, G, and J are compared by Height and Age. i) G is older than H but shorter than F. ii) I is the tallest, but not the oldest. iii) J is older than I. iv) H is not the shortest, and F is the youngest. Who are the oldest and the shortest respectively?
Age: From (iii) J > F, and (ii) says F is not oldest, so J is oldest. Clue (iv) sets G as youngest. Also (i) gives I > H. A valid age order is J > I > G > H > F. Height: (ii) makes F tallest; (i) ensures G taller than I; (iv) H not shortest. A valid height order is I > H > F > G > J. Thus, oldest is J and shortest is J.

Question 5

Henry and Margaret are parents. Their son Lucas has a cousin named Lucas from Henry's brother. Who is Lucas to Lucas?
Tracing the family tree: William → Henry → Lucas. Therefore, William is the grandfather of Lucas. In family hierarchy, grandparents are two generations above grandchildren.

Question 8

Six students U, P, S, Q, T, R took a test. T scored higher than U. U scored higher than Q. Q scored higher than R. R scored higher than P. Who ranked 3rd?
From the comparative scores, the descending order is: T > U > Q > R > P > S. Hence, 3rd is Q.

Question 9

At the Olympics, China, Australia, Germany, Japan, France competed. France has more total points than Germany. France has more gold medals than Japan. Who won the most total points (Gold=3, Silver=2, Bronze=1)?
Medal counts: China: 9G, 4S, 2B = 37pts, Australia: 8G, 7S, 4B = 42pts, Germany: 11G, 3S, 1B = 40pts, Japan: 5G, 9S, 8B = 41pts, France: 5G, 9S, 8B = 41pts. Gold=3pts, Silver=2pts, Bronze=1pt. Ranking by points: Australia > Japan > France > Germany > China. Therefore, Australia is correct.

Question 10

Seven students F, A, G, C, D, B, E took an exam. A and G are tied at rank 1. C and B are tied at rank 2. What is the rank of D?
The ranking distribution is: A(1), G(1), C(2), B(2), E(3)... two tied for 1st, two tied for 2nd. 4 is the correct answer.

Question 11

Six students R, V, P, S, T, Q took a test. R scored higher than Q. Q scored higher than P. P scored higher than S. S scored higher than V. Who ranked 3rd?
From the comparative scores, the descending order is: R > Q > P > S > V > T. Hence, 3rd is P.

Question 12

Six people B, E, F, D, C, A live in a 6-floor building (1=ground, 6=top). C lives on floor 2. E lives on floor 1. A lives above E but below C. Who lives on the top floor?
Based on the clues, D is on the top floor (floor 6).

Question 13

Five friends A, B, C, D, and E are standing in a single row facing North. i) C is exactly in the middle of the row. ii) D is not at any end. iii) A is to the immediate left of E. iv) B is at one of the ends. v) D is to the immediate right of C. Who is standing at the left end?
From (i), C is at position 3. From (v), D must be at position 4. (iii) places A and E as consecutive with A left of E at positions 1 and 2. (iv) puts B at the remaining end, position 5. Final order: A E C D B. Left end is A.

Question 14

At the Olympics, USA, UK, France, Russia, Germany competed. UK has more total points than Germany. France has more silver medals than Russia. If Gold=3, Silver=2, Bronze=1 points, which country is ranked 2nd?
Medal counts: USA: 4G, 6S, 12B = 36pts, UK: 8G, 7S, 4B = 42pts, France: 5G, 9S, 8B = 41pts, Russia: 11G, 3S, 1B = 40pts, Germany: 8G, 7S, 4B = 42pts. Gold=3pts, Silver=2pts, Bronze=1pt. Ranking by points: UK > Germany > France > Russia > USA. Therefore, Germany is correct.

Question 15

Five people I, H, G, J, and F are compared by Height and Age. i) J is older than G but shorter than H. ii) I is the tallest, but not the oldest. iii) F is older than I. iv) G is not the shortest, and H is the youngest. Who are the oldest and the shortest respectively?
Age: From (iii) J > F, and (ii) says F is not oldest, so J is oldest. Clue (iv) sets G as youngest. Also (i) gives I > H. A valid age order is F > I > J > G > H. Height: (ii) makes F tallest; (i) ensures G taller than I; (iv) H not shortest. A valid height order is I > G > H > J > F. Thus, oldest is F and shortest is F.

Question 16

Five friends—P, Q, R, S, and T—are compared based on their height. i) T is taller than Q. ii) S is shorter than Q. iii) P is shorter than R. iv) R is shorter than S. Who is the third tallest among them?
Combine the height comparisons:
1. T > Q
2. Q > S
3. S > R
4. R > P
Thus, the order is T > Q > S > R > P. Third tallest is S.

Question 17

Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F, G stand in a row facing North. i) A is two places to the left of C. ii) D is two places to the right of C. iii) B stands somewhere between A and D. iv) E is not at the extreme left and F is not at the extreme right. Who stands at the extreme left?
From clues i and ii, positions are: X _ Z _ Y (positions 1,3,5 or 2,4,6 or 3,5,7). Clue iii places W between X and Y. Clue iv eliminates positions 3,5,7 for left end. Therefore, X must be at position 1 (extreme left).
