1. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years which is same as difference between the ages of Tanya and Meenakshi.

2. Nakul is 21 years old.

3. Difference between the ages of Nakul and Meenakshi is a perfect square of 4.

4. Only three persons are younger than Prateek.

So,

5. The difference between the ages of Tanya and Prateek is equal to the ages of Nakul.

Meenakshi is elder to Prateek.

6. The age of the Prateek is a perfect square.

From this case-1 gets eliminated as Prateek’s age can be either 35 years or 7 years in case-1.

Now, with case 2.

Tanya – Prateek = Nakul

Prateek = 46 – 21 = 25.

7. Sonal is 11 years younger than Prateek.

So, Sonal is 25 – 11 = 14 years.

8. Ritika is just elder than Lovely.

9. As many as persons are younger than Sonal as are elder as Lovely.

Ritika > Lovely > > > > > Prateek > Nakul > Sonal >

So, Sonal is 14 years old and is the second youngest person.

10. The sum of the ages of Ritika and Sonal is 91 years.

So, Ritika + Sonal = 91.

Ritika + 14 = 91

Ritika = 91 – 14 = 77 i.e., Ritika born = 2019 - 77 = 1942.

11. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years.

So, Lovely born = 1942 + 9 = 1951. Hence, the age of lovely is 77 – 9 = 68.

12. The difference between the ages of Lovely and Urvashi is equal to the age of Sonal.

The age of Lovely + Urvashi = Sonal

So, 68 + Urvashi = 14

Urvashi = 54 i.e. 1965 year.

Qamish is 24 years younger than Urvashi.

Qamish born = 1965 + 24 = 1989 so the age of Qamish is 30.

13. The difference between the ages of Urvashi and Qamish is same as the difference between Qamish and Opal.

Urvashi – Qamish = Qamish – opal

Urvashi + Opal = 2 Qamish

54 + Opal = 60

Opal = 6 years

So, Opal born in 2013.

The final arrangement is given below-

According to the given information-

Age of Ritika = 77 years

Age of Qamish = 30 years

Total age = 77 + 30 = 107 years

So, total age of Ritika and Qamish is 107 years.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

1. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years which is same as difference between the ages of Tanya and Meenakshi.

2. Nakul is 21 years old.

3. Difference between the ages of Nakul and Meenakshi is a perfect square of 4.

So, Sonal is 25 – 11 = 14 years.

8. Ritika is just elder than Lovely.

9. As many as persons are younger than Sonal as are elder as Lovely.

Ritika > Lovely > > > > > Prateek > Nakul > Sonal >

So, Sonal is 14 years old and is the second youngest person.

10. The sum of the ages of Ritika and Sonal is 91 years.

So, Ritika + Sonal = 91.

Ritika + 14 = 91

Ritika = 91 – 14 = 77 i.e., Ritika born = 2019 - 77 = 1942.

11. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years.

So, Lovely born = 1942 + 9 = 1951. Hence, the age of lovely is 77 – 9 = 68.

12. The difference between the ages of Lovely and Urvashi is equal to the age of Sonal.

The age of Lovely + Urvashi = Sonal

So, 68 + Urvashi = 14

Urvashi = 54 i.e. 1965 year.

Qamish is 24 years younger than Urvashi.

Qamish born = 1965 + 24 = 1989 so the age of Qamish is 30.

13. The difference between the ages of Urvashi and Qamish is same as the difference between Qamish and Opal.

Urvashi – Qamish = Qamish – opal

Urvashi + Opal = 2 Qamish

54 + Opal = 60

Opal = 6 years

So, Opal was born in 2013.

The final arrangement is given below-

According to the given information-

Total age of Urvashi and Sonal = 54 + 14 = 68 years

Total age of Sonal and Meenakshi = 14 + 37 = 51 years

Difference between the total age of Urvashi and Sonal and total age of Sonal and Meenakshi = 68 – 51 = 17 years.

Hence, the correct option is (D).

1. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years which is same as difference between the ages of Tanya and Meenakshi.

2. Nakul is 21 years old.

3. Difference between the ages of Nakul and Meenakshi is a perfect square of 4.

4. Only three persons are younger than Prateek.

So,

5. The difference between the ages of Tanya and Prateek is equal to the ages of Nakul.

Meenakshi is elder to Prateek.

6. The age of the Prateek is a perfect square.

From this case-1 gets eliminated as Prateek’s age can be either 35 years or 7 years in case-1.

Now, with case 2.

Tanya – Prateek = Nakul

Prateek = 46 – 21 = 25.

7. Sonal is 11 years younger than Prateek.

So, Sonal is 25 – 11 = 14 years.

8. Ritika is just elder than Lovely.

9. As many as persons are younger than Sonal as are elder as Lovely.

Ritika > Lovely > > > > > Prateek > Nakul > Sonal >

So, Sonal is 14 years old and is the second youngest person.

10. The sum of the ages of Ritika and Sonal is 91 years.

So, Ritika + Sonal = 91.

Ritika + 14 = 91

Ritika = 91 – 14 = 77 i.e., Ritika born = 2019 - 77 = 1942.

11. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years.

So, Lovely born = 1942 + 9 = 1951. Hence, the age of lovely is 77 – 9 = 68.

12. The difference between the ages of Lovely and Urvashi is equal to the age of Sonal.

The age of Lovely + Urvashi = Sonal

So, 68 + Urvashi = 14

Urvashi = 54 i.e. 1965 year.

Qamish is 24 years younger than Urvashi.

Qamish born = 1965 + 24 = 1989 so the age of Qamish is 30.

13. The difference between the ages of Urvashi and Qamish is same as the difference between Qamish and Opal.

Urvashi – Qamish = Qamish – opal

Urvashi + Opal = 2 Qamish

54 + Opal = 60

Opal = 6 years

So, Opal was born in 2013.

The final arrangement is given below-

So, two persons are born between Tanya and Prateek.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

1. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years which is same as difference between the ages of Tanya and Meenakshi.

2. Nakul is 21 years old.

3. Difference between the ages of Nakul and Meenakshi is a perfect square of 4.

4. Only three persons are younger than Prateek.

So,

5. The difference between the ages of Tanya and Prateek is equal to the ages of Nakul.

Meenakshi is elder to Prateek.

6. The age of the Prateek is a perfect square.

From this case-1 gets eliminated as Prateek’s age can be either 35 years or 7 years in case-1.

Now, with case 2.

Tanya – Prateek = Nakul

Prateek = 46 – 21 = 25.

7. Sonal is 11 years younger than Prateek.

So, Sonal is 25 – 11 = 14 years.

8. Ritika is just elder than Lovely.

9. As many as persons are younger than Sonal as are elder as Lovely.

Ritika > Lovely > > > > > Prateek > Nakul > Sonal >

So, Sonal is 14 years old and is the second youngest person.

10. The sum of the ages of Ritika and Sonal is 91 years.

So, Ritika + Sonal = 91.

Ritika + 14 = 91

Ritika = 91 – 14 = 77 i.e., Ritika born = 2019 - 77 = 1942.

11. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years.

So, Lovely born = 1942 + 9 = 1951. Hence, the age of lovely is 77 – 9 = 68.

So, Sonal is 14 years old and is the second youngest person.

10. The sum of the ages of Ritika and Sonal is 91 years.

So, Ritika + Sonal = 91.

Ritika + 14 = 91

Ritika = 91 – 14 = 77 i.e., Ritika born = 2019 - 77 = 1942.

11. The difference between the ages of Ritika and Lovely is 9 years.

So, Lovely born = 1942 + 9 = 1951. Hence, the age of lovely is 77 – 9 = 68.

12. The difference between the ages of Lovely and Urvashi is equal to the age of Sonal.

The age of Lovely + Urvashi = Sonal

So, 68 + Urvashi = 14

Urvashi = 54 i.e. 1965 year.

Qamish is 24 years younger than Urvashi.

Qamish born = 1965 + 24 = 1989 so the age of Qamish is 30.

13. The difference between the ages of Urvashi and Qamish is same as the difference between Qamish and Opal.

Urvashi – Qamish = Qamish – opal

Urvashi + Opal = 2 Qamish

54 + Opal = 60

Opal = 6 years

So, Opal was born in 2013.

The final arrangement is given below-

According to the given information-

So, only Urvashi is born just before 1973.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Box B contains total 39 items. Only one box is placed between box B and the box which is of Piya. Box E is of Kapil. Box E does not contain 20 pens. Box B is placed below box which is of Santosh. So, case 1, case 2 and case 4 gets eliminated.

The box which is placed immediately above box A contains 6 pencils. Box A neither belongs to Geeta nor Kusum. So there will be two cases in case 3 (i.e. 3A and 3B). The box which is given to Santosh and box B contain total 56 pens.

The box which contains 15 pencils is placed immediately above the box which contains 25 pencils. So, case 3A gets eliminated. Box D and E contain total 18 pencils. Total number of pens contained by box F and A is 52. Total number of items contained by the box which is of Kapil is 10 less than the one which is of Geeta.

Total number of items contain by the box which is of Neha is 2 more than the number of pens contain by box F. So, the final arrangement is —

So, option (a) is the correct answer.

So, the best assumption that weakens the author’s contention is (c).

Input: K % 5 G > E 3 @ Y 8 9 & D 2 ^ I 4 # A 1 L £ U 6

For step I: If the symbols immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by a consonant, then that symbol is placed immediate right of third succeeding element.

Step I: K % 5 G > E 3 Y 8 9 @ D 2 ^ & I 4 # A 1 L £ U 6

For step II: The first half of the elements are written in reverse order after the second half.

Step II: 2 ^ & I 4 # A 1 L £ U 6 D @ 9 8 Y 3 E > G 5 % K

For step III: The first six elements combination are written in reverse order after the second combination of six elements, similarly third combinations are written in reverse order after the fourth combination of six elements.

Step III: A 1 L £ U 6 # 4 I & ^ 2E > G 5 % K 3 Y 8 9 @ D

Input: @ Y K 5 % 8 > G E 3 D 2 ^ I A 1 9 & 4 # L £ U 6

Step I: @ Y K 5 % 8 G E 3 > D 2 ^ I A 1 9 & 4 L £ U # 6

Step II: ^ I A 1 9 & 4 L £ U # 6 2 D > 3 E G 8 % 5 K Y @

Thus, Seventeenth element from the right end → L
