Hence, option D is correct.

Common Explanation
References:
Only one person has birthday before Rahim.
Only three persons have birthday between Rahim and Tushar.
Ximon has birthday on 17th of a month of 31 days.
Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is one more than the number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon.

Wafiq’s birthday is after Pratheep’s birthday.
Inferences:
From above statements,
Only one person has birthday before Rahim. Only three persons have birthday between Rahim and Tushar.
Here, Rahim has birthday on 28th of May month. Tushar has birthday on 28th of July month i.e. 3 persons have birthday between Rahim and Tushar’s birthday.
Ximon has birthday on 17th of a month of 31 days.
Ximon has birthday on 17th of either May or July [May & July has 31 days]. Thus we get two possibilities.
Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is one more than the number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon.
Case 1: Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon is zero (no has birthday in between) and then number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is 1 i.e. Uday has birthday on 28th of June.
Case 2: Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon is 2 (two people has birthday in between) and then number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is 3 i.e. Uday has birthday on 28th of July which is not possible [Tushar’s birthday is on 28th July]. Hence this case can be eliminated.
Yadav and Zaheer have their birthdays in the same month having 30 days but not in the month of June. Yadav don’t have birthday before Zaheer.
Zaheer and Yadav have their birthdays on 17th and 28th of September respectively [30 days month other than June]
Wafiq’s birthday is after Pratheep’s birthday.

Six persons – Ronak, Manat, Suraj, Jyoti, Parth, and Bilal were living in a building of six floors. Each of these persons owns a different car – Jaguar, Audi, Ferrari, BMW, Bentley and Tesla, but not necessarily in the same order. The bottom floor of the building was numbered as 1, the floor above it was numbered as 2 and so on.
Inference:
We will keep this information in mind while solving the puzzle.
Reference:
There were 2 floors between Bilal and the one who owns Ferrari.
Bilal lives below the one who owns Ferrari.
The one who owns Tesla lives just above the one who owns Ferrari.
Inference:
Here, we have two possible scenarios in which we can use the above hints accordingly.
Case 1:

Case 2:

Reference:
There were 2 floors between Manat and the one who owns BMW.
Manat lives above the one who owns BMW.
Manat and Ronak were living on consecutive floors.
Ronak owns Audi and there were 2 floors between Ronak and Parth.
Inference:
Here, we have several possible scenarios in which the above hints can be used in case 1 and case 2.
Case 1-A:

Case 1-B:

Case 2-A:

Case 2-B:

Reference:
There was 1 floor between Jyoti and the one who owns Jaguar.
Jyoti lives above the one who owns Jaguar.
Inference:
At this point we cannot fix the position of Jyoti and the one who owns Jaguar in Case 1-A, Case 1-B and Case 2-A according to the above hints. So we can say that Case 1-A, Case 1-B and Case 2-A are invalid cases.
Case 2-B:

Here, we can easily fix the position of the one who owns Bentley and Suraj in case 2-B as:
Case 2-B:

MCQs Test: Floor/ lift based puzzles - 2 - Question 11

Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the questions given beside:
Kathir, Vishal, Saran, Priyan, Vibin and Gautham are six friends. Each of them went for bike drive on different number of days among 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 15 but not necessarily in the same order. Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order. The average kilometer covered by each person is calculated by dividing the number of kilometers covered by him with the number of days taken by him. For example, if Saran covered 210 kilometers in 9 days, his average is 210/9 i.e. 23.33.
Vishal went for drive for more number of days than Gautham.
The number of days taken by Gautham is equal to the total number of days taken by Saran and Vibin.
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
The average of Saran is equal to the number of days taken by Gautham for bike drive.
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
The average of Vibin is twice the average of Gautham.

Each of them went for bike drive on different number of days among 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 15 but not necessarily in the same order.
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
The number of days taken by Gautham is equal to the total number of days taken by Saran and Vibin.
Vishal went for drive for more number of days than Gautham.
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Inferences
From above statements,
The number of days taken by Gautham is equal to the total number of days taken by Saran and Vibin.
Among given number of days, there are 2 possibilities for Gautham
Saran = 5 or 7 & Vibin = 7 or 5, and then Gautham = 5 + 7 = 12
Saran = 5 or 10 & Vibin = 10 or 5 and then Gautham = 5 + 10 = 15
Vishal went for drive for more number of days than Gautham.
Here, Vishal (No. of days) > Gautham (No. of days). It is clearly understood that, Gautham is taken only 12 days for bike drive since maximum number of days among given is 15.
By this, we also get that Visha hasl taken 15 days for bike drive (only possibility).
Now we know, Vishal = 15 days, Gautham = 12 days, Saran = 5 or 7 days and Vibin = 7 or 5 days
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Given, Kathir (No. of days) > Priyan (No. of days).
Remaining days left are, 9 and 10. Therefore, Kathir = 10 days & Priyan = 9 days
By using above information, we get the initial table as follows,

References
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
The average of Saran is equal to the number of days taken by Gautham for bike drive.
Inferences
From above statements,
The average of Saran is equal to the number of days taken by Gautham for bike drive.
We know Gautham has taken 12 days for bike drive.
Therefore average kilometer covered per day by Saran = 12
Also we know Saran has taken either 5 or 7 days.

Then, Total Kilometers covered by Saran = 12 × 7 = 84 Km (Which is not possible as 84 km is not given in statement)
Therefore we get that, Saran covered 60 Km in 5 days and Vibin has taken 7 days.
Thus we get the table as follows,

References
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
The average of Vibin is twice the average of Gautham.
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Inferences
From above statements,
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
We know total number of days taken by all persons. Now we have to check with given kilometers based on above said condition i.e. Average should be whole number & it is less than 50.
Remaining kilometers are 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
Among given kilometers, 96 get divided by only by 12 exactly (remaining numbers results in decimal)
Thus we conclude that, Gautham has covered 96 kilometers in 12 days at an average of 8 kilometers per day [96/12 = 8]
The average of Vibin is twice the average of Gautham.
Given, Vibin (Average) = 2 Gautham (Average)
Now, Vibin (Average) = 2 × 8 = 16 & we know Vibin has taken 7 days for bike drive.
Then, Total Kilometers covered by Vibin = 16 × 7 = 112 Km
Thus, Vibin has covered 112 kilometers in 7 days at an average of 16 kilometers per day [112/7 = 16]
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Given, Kathir (Average) > Priyan (Average)
Remaining kilometers are 210, 225 and 300.
Among given kilometers, 225 get divided by only by 9 exactly (remaining numbers results in decimal).
Thus we conclude that, Priyan has covered 225 kilometers in 9 days at an average of 25 kilometers per day [225/9 = 25].
Now we can easily say that, Kathir has covered 300 kilometers in 10 days at an average of 30 kilometers per day [300/10 = 30] i.e. Kathir (Average = 30) > Priyan (Average = 25).
Finally, Vishal has covered 210 kilometers in 15 days at an average of 14 kilometers per day [210/15 = 14].
Thus we get the completed table as shown below,

The average of Vibin is twice the average of Gautham.
Given, Vibin (Average) = 2 Gautham (Average)
Now, Vibin (Average) = 2 × 8 = 16 & we know Vibin has taken 7 days for bike drive.
Then, Total Kilometers covered by Vibin = 16 × 7 = 112 Km
Thus, Vibin has covered 112 kilometers in 7 days at an average of 16 kilometers per day [112/7 = 16]
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Given, Kathir (Average) > Priyan (Average)

Each of them went for bike drive on different number of days among 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 15 but not necessarily in the same order.
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
The number of days taken by Gautham is equal to the total number of days taken by Saran and Vibin.
Vishal went for drive for more number of days than Gautham.
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Inferences
From above statements,
The number of days taken by Gautham is equal to the total number of days taken by Saran and Vibin.
Among given number of days, there are 2 possibilities for Gautham
Saran = 5 or 7 & Vibin = 7 or 5, and then Gautham = 5 + 7 = 12
Saran = 5 or 10 & Vibin = 10 or 5 and then Gautham = 5 + 10 = 15
Vishal went for drive for more number of days than Gautham.
Here, Vishal (No. of days) > Gautham (No. of days). It is clearly understood that, Gautham is taken only 12 days for bike drive since maximum number of days among given is 15.
By this, we also get that Visha hasl taken 15 days for bike drive (only possibility).
Now we know, Vishal = 15 days, Gautham = 12 days, Saran = 5 or 7 days and Vibin = 7 or 5 days
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Given, Kathir (No. of days) > Priyan (No. of days).
Remaining days left are, 9 and 10. Therefore, Kathir = 10 days & Priyan = 9 days
By using above information, we get the initial table as follows,

References
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
The average of Saran is equal to the number of days taken by Gautham for bike drive.
Inferences
From above statements,
The average of Saran is equal to the number of days taken by Gautham for bike drive.
We know Gautham has taken 12 days for bike drive.
Therefore average kilometer covered per day by Saran = 12
Also we know Saran has taken either 5 or 7 days.

Then, Total Kilometers covered by Saran = 12 × 7 = 84 Km (Which is not possible as 84 km is not given in statement)
Therefore we get that, Saran covered 60 Km in 5 days and Vibin has taken 7 days.
Thus we get the table as follows,

References
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
The average of Vibin is twice the average of Gautham.
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Inferences
From above statements,
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
We know total number of days taken by all persons. Now we have to check with given kilometers based on above said condition i.e. Average should be whole number & it is less than 50.
Remaining kilometers are 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
Among given kilometers, 96 get divided by only by 12 exactly (remaining numbers results in decimal)
Thus we conclude that, Gautham has covered 96 kilometers in 12 days at an average of 8 kilometers per day [96/12 = 8]
The average of Vibin is twice the average of Gautham.
Given, Vibin (Average) = 2 Gautham (Average)
Now, Vibin (Average) = 2 × 8 = 16 & we know Vibin has taken 7 days for bike drive.
Then, Total Kilometers covered by Vibin = 16 × 7 = 112 Km
Thus, Vibin has covered 112 kilometers in 7 days at an average of 16 kilometers per day [112/7 = 16]
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Given, Kathir (Average) > Priyan (Average)
Remaining kilometers are 210, 225 and 300.
Among given kilometers, 225 get divided by only by 9 exactly (remaining numbers results in decimal).
Thus we conclude that, Priyan has covered 225 kilometers in 9 days at an average of 25 kilometers per day [225/9 = 25].
Now we can easily say that, Kathir has covered 300 kilometers in 10 days at an average of 30 kilometers per day [300/10 = 30] i.e. Kathir (Average = 30) > Priyan (Average = 25).
Finally, Vishal has covered 210 kilometers in 15 days at an average of 14 kilometers per day [210/15 = 14].
Thus we get the completed table as shown below,
