Six persons: U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.

1) X finished the race after only two other persons finished the race.

_ > _ > X _ > _ > _

2) Z is the only person to finish the race before U and after W. It means Z is in between W and U's position.

W > Z > U

3) Y is not the first person to finish the race.

_ > Y > X > W > Z > U

Given series: 219 462 764 803 129

After arranging the digits in each of the numbering descending order:

921 642 764 830 921

Now,764 is the only number that remains unchanged.

Hence, one is the correct answer.

Given series:219 462 764 803 129

After rearranging the digit in each of the five numbers are arranged in ascending order:

129 246 467 038 129

Sum of middle digits of each of the numbers is

2 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 2 = 17

Hence, the sum of the middle digits of each of the numbers is 17.

II) Mohan is 8m South of Ram.

III) Raman is 6m East of Mohan.

IV) Pawan is 4m North of Raman.

V) Kush is 5m West of Rohan.

This will be the final arrangement on the basis of given information.

Hence, Mohan is in South East direction with respect to Rohan.

From the given information,

I) Rohan is 4m West of Ram and Sohan is 3m South of Rohan.

II) Mohan is 8m South of Ram.

III) Raman is 6m East of Mohan.

IV) Pawan is 4m North of Raman.

V) Kush is 5m West of Rohan.

This will be the final arrangement on the basis of given information.

Here Rohan and Ram are in the East of Kush.

Hence, There are Two persons are in the east of Kush.

From the given information,

I) Rohan is 4m West of Ram and Sohan is 3m South of Rohan.

II) Mohan is 8m South of Ram.

III) Raman is 6m East of Mohan.

IV) Pawan is 4m North of Raman.

V) Kush is 5m West of Rohan.

This will be the final arrangement on the basis of given information.

Here Shortest distance between Ram and Raman will be determined by Pythagoras theorem,

Distance = √{ (8)² + (6)² } = √ ( 100 ) = 10m

Hence, Shortest distance between Ram and Raman will be 10m.

Given statement: J ≤ Q = K ≥ A ≥ X < F

Conclusions:

I. J < F → False (As J ≤ Q = K ≥ A ≥ X < F; no clear relation between J and F.)

II. Q ≥ X → True (Q = K ≥ A ≥ X, makes Q ≥ X)

Hence, only conclusion II follows.

Given statements: J < E ≥ O; Y < P ≤ H < O

On combining: J < E ≥ O > H ≥ P > Y

Conclusions:

I. J > P → False (as J < E ≥ O > H ≥ P thus clear relation between J and P cannot be determined)

II. Y < E → True (as E ≥ O > H ≥ P > Y → E > Y)

Hence, only II is True.

Eight people - P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W.

1- U lives on an even numbered floor below floor 5.

2- T lives two floors above U.

3- Only one person lives between V and T.

4- There are only three people lives between W and T.

5- W lives immediately above R.

6- P lives on floor 3.

7- Only one person lives between Q and P and Q lives above P.

8- S lives above U. So case- 2 gets eliminated.

So, the Final arrangement;

Hence, S lives on floor 7.

Given statements: A ≥ X = N > Y; O ≥ A = L; N = Z

On combining: O ≥ A ≥ X = N > Y; O ≥ A = L; N = Z; O ≥ A ≥ X = N = Z

Conclusions:

I. O > Z → False (as O ≥ A ≥ X = N = Z, thus clear relation cannot be determined as either O > Z or O = Z)

II. O = Z → False (as O ≥ A ≥ X = N = Z , thus clear relation cannot be determined as either O > Z or O = Z)

Therefore, Conclusion I and Conclusion II forms complementary pair

Hence, Either I or II is true

Key Points

Conditions for Either - or

I. Subject and predicate should be same

II. Both the individual conclusions must be false

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some People are Groups → True (As All Groups are People, some People will definitely be Groups, So it is true).

II. Some People are not Person → True (As Only a few People are Person that is there is a relation of Some and Some not of People with Person so some people are not a person will be true).

Hence, Both I and II follow.

Given Statements: K ≥ W = Y; Y ≤ P = G; F < W > V = H

On Combining: G = P ≥ Y = W > V = H; K ≥ W > F

Conclusion:

I. G = W → False (As G = P ≥ Y = W, clearly G ≥ W).

II. W < G → False (As G = P ≥ Y = W, clearly G ≥ W).

From the above conclusion it is clear that conclusion I and II form complementary pair.

Hence, either conclusion I or II follow.

Additional information:

i) If from statements, relation between two elements cannot be determined and in conclusion all three sign are present between that two elements, then individual conclusion will be false and the answer will be ‘either or’.

ii) If from statement, relation between two elements is inferred as ‘greater equals to’ or ‘lesser equals to’ and in conclusion ‘greater than and equals to’ or ‘less than and equals to’ are present between that two elements, then individual conclusion will be false and the answer will be ‘either or’.

Hence, four pairs are there in the word ‘DISCOVERY’, each of which has as many letters between them in the word (both forward and backward direction) as they have between them in the English Alphabet.
