According to question,
A's weight is twice as much as of B.
1. A = 2B.
B's weight is four and half times as much as of C.
2. B = 4.5C
C's weight is half times as much as of D.
3. C = D/2.
D's weight is half as much as of E.
4. D = E/2.
E weight is less than A but more than C.
5. A > E > C
from 1 and 2
6. A = 2B = 9C
from 6 and 3
7. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D
from 7 and 4
8. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D = 2.25E
so from 8 and 5
A > B > E > D > C
So, E is lighter in weight than A and B.

Original number - 7 6 5 3 4 2 1 8

Hence, required digit = 6

A man walks 30 meters towards South, then turning to his right, he walks 30 meters, then turning to his left, he walks 20 meters, again turning to his left, he walks 30 meters. The figure are given below -

Hence, "50 meters" is the correct answer.

'Jade' is a 'green' precious stone in the same way 'Garnet' is a 'red' precious stone.

P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, and Z are sitting around a circle facing at the centre not necessarily in this same order.

i) T is second to the right of R who is third to the right of P.

Mistake Points

Who is used for the second person in a connecting statement.

For example: 

T is second to the right of R who is third to the right of P.

Here, who is used for R and not for T.

ii) S is second to the left of P and fourth to the right of Q.

iii) V who is not an immediate neighbour of P. (This means V cannot sit immediate left or right of P).

iv) Z is third to the right of V 

Thus we can see S is immediate left of Z.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Yen, Lira and Dollar are currency. Ounce is used for weight.

Checking Statement I:

As per hints, following arrangements can be formed

A > E > B > C/D > D/C

Here in the above statements, clearly A is the heaviest person.

Hence data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Checking Statement II:

As per hints, following arrangements can be formed

A > E > B/C > C/B

Since, there is no information about D, so statement II alone is not sufficient.

Hence data in statement II is not sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option A is correct.

1st term = 2
2nd term = 2 + 3 = 5
3rd term = 5 + 4 = 9
4th term = 9 + 5 = 14
5th term = 14 + 6 = 20
6th term = 20 + 7 = 27

Thus, Missing number is 4th term = 14

14 = (2 x 9 - 4)

26 = (2 x 15 - 4)

Hence, ? = 15

From Statement I: From this statement, we get the following inference:

C A _  C _

C E _ C _

C I _ C _

C O _ C _

C U _ C _

Clearly, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II: From this statement, we get the following inference:

We understand that only one letter is between T and H and either A or E is the only vowel used in the word but we cannot form the whole word.

Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking both Statement, I and II together:

C A T C H     C A H C T        C E T C H       C E H C T

Here, only ‘CATCH’ is the meaningful word that can be formed.

Hence, option E is the correct answer.

Checking Statement I:

Since there is no information about Monika's rank. Therefore, Rahul's rank cannot be determined.

Clearly, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking Statement II:

Aditi's rank and Monika's rank is not given. Therefore, Rahul's rank cannot be determined.

Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking Both statement I and II:

Ranks are not known for any of them. Thus, Rahul's rank cannot be found.

Clearly, Both statements I and II  is not sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option D is correct.
