III. Y > T → True (as Y > S = R ≥ Z > T → Y > T)

IV. U = Z → False (as R ≥ Z and R > U thus no clear relation between Z and U)

EVOLVE → 546345

2) Also, as there are two E's in the word, so both the E will be coded % according to the 2nd condition.

EVOLVE → 546345 → %4634%

3) Also, as the word starts and ends with a vowel, so the first letter will be coded $ as per the 4th condition.

EVOLVE → 546345 → %4634% → $4634%

Thus, the code for the word EVOLVE is $4634%.

ELECTION → 53532965

2) Also, as there are two E's in the word, hence both the E will be coded % according to the 2nd condition.

ELECTION → 53532965 → %3%32965

3) Also, as the word starts with a vowel and ends with a consonant, hence both these letters will be coded @ according to the last condition.

ELECTION → 53532965 → %3%32965 → @3%3296@

Thus, the code for the word ELECTION is @3%3296@.

MOBILE → 462935

Also, as the word starts with a consonant and ends with a vowel the codes of these two letters will be interchanged as per the 5th condition.

MOBILE → 462935 → 562934

Thus, 562934 is the code for the word MOBILE.

III. All book are bag → True (All book are paper and all paper are bag, hence all book are bag is true)

From statement II: R is 3m to the south of M. S is 5m to the east of T. T is 2m to the south of R. W is 4m to the south of S.

From statement III: U is 7m to the west of N. S is 4m to the west of U. V is 8m to the south of U.

From statement II and III together:

Thus, statement II and III together are required to answer the question..

Therefore, the course of action I follow. The course of action II suggests that minimum passing marks should be brought down after revision so that each student manages to pass comfortably. This devalues the process and defeats the purpose of conducting the examination.

Therefore, the course of action II does not follow.

(Implies, both A and the person who is 39 years old are sitting in the second row. Also, there are only two possibilities i.e. A is sitting either on the 1st seat or the 2nd seat of the second row.)

2) The age of the person sitting right behind A is 1 year less than twice the age of A.

(Let us assume the age of A be X, implies, the age of the person sitting right behind him is 2X – 1.)

3) E is sitting two seats ahead of C whose age is numerically an even number.

4) K is sitting third to the right of E and the sum of their ages is 25 years.

(Implies, E is sitting in the first seat of the first row and K is sitting on the rightmost seat while C is sitting on the first seat of the 4th row. Also, as we know the age of the person sitting right behind A is 1year younger than twice the age of A (which will be numerically an odd number), implies, A is sitting on the 2nd seat in the 2nd row. Also, it means that D is sitting on the rightmost seat in the 2nd row.)

5) The age of K is 1 year less than thrice the age of the person who is sitting immediately behind him.

(Implies, K is 12 years old. Also, according to the 4th statement, the age of E is 13 years.)

6) J is sitting immediately in front of F.

7) H is sitting second to the left of J and H is 21 years younger than J.

(It is only possible if F is sitting on the third seat from the left in the 3rd row and J is sitting immediately in front of him in the 2nd row.)

8) B is sitting to the immediate left of the person who is sitting right in front of D.

(Implies, B is sitting to the immediate left of K as it is the only possibility.)

9) The difference between the ages of A and L is 47 years.

10) L is 15 years older than the person who is sitting second to his left.

(It is only possible if we place L on the rightmost seat in the 3rd row. Also, as the age of the person who is sitting second to the left of L is 2X – 1 years old, implies, the age of L is 2X + 14 years.

Now,

2X + 14 – X = 47 years

X = 33 years

11) The difference between the ages of the two people who are sitting on the extreme ends in the third row is 8 years.

12) The age of H is 45 years less than the person sitting immediately behind him.

(Implies, the age of C is either 72 years or 88 years. Let us assume that C is 88 years old then that would mean H is 43 years old.)

13) The age of B is one third the age of the person who is sitting immediately behind E but half the age of the person who is sitting to his immediate left.

(Clearly, H is sitting immediately behind E. If the age of H is 43 years then the age of B would not be a natural number. Implies, the age of C is 72 years, the age of H is 27 years and the age of B is 9 years. Also, it means that the age of the person who is sitting to the immediate left of B is 18 years.)

14) J is 6 years younger than F but 30 years younger than G.

(As J is 30 years younger than G, implies, G must be in the row that is ahead of J’s row. Hence, G is sitting between E and B in the 1st row and he is 18 years old. Implies, J is 48 years old and F is 54 years old. Also, now that only I is left to be placed, we can safely say that I is sitting between C and F.)

Clearly, H is the youngest person in the 2nd row.
