4) Answer: C
Explanation:
Clearly, combination C is correct.
Hence, option C is correct choice.

5) Answer: A
Explanation:
Clearly, Abhi purchase Lords of the Ring.
Hence, option A is correct choice.

Explanation:
We have:
• Malgudi Days was sold at Rs.25 more than the price at which Panchtantra was sold, that means in
case (1) Malgudi Days was sold at Rs.105, in case (2) Malgudi Days was sold at Rs.115.
• Malgudi Days was neither bought by Raj nor by Maya.
• Lords of the Ring was bought at Rs.105, but neither by Raman nor by Zoya.
• Zoya neither bought Panchtantra nor Champak.
• Neither The Jungle Book nor the Harry Potter is sold at Rs.80.
• Kavita sold her book The Jungle Book at Rs.15 more than the price at which Zoya bought her book,
that means we have four possible combination (60, 75), (75, 90), (90, 105) & (105, 120), that means
in case (1a) Kavita sold her book at Rs.90, in case (1b) Kavita sold her book at Rs.75, in case (2a)
Kavita sold her book at 105, in case (2b) Kavita sold her book at Rs.75.
Based on above given information we have:

Again, we have:
• Raj neither bought Chamapak nor Panchtantra, but bought the book at Rs.60.
• Harry potter was neither bought at Rs.60 nor bought by Maya, that means Raj bought Ruskin Bond.
• Since, Zoya doesn’t bought either of Panchtanta, Champak or Malgudi Days, that means Zoya
bought Harry Potter.
• Since, no two person bought book at same price, thus case (1b) & case (2b) are not valid.
• Dev neither bought Champak nor Panchtanta, but bought the book at Rs.80, thus Dev bought
Malgudi Days.
• The difference between sold price of Champak and purchase price of Lords of The Ring was same as
the purchase price of Harry Potter and sold price of Malgudi Days, that means in case (1a) Champak
was sold as Rs.75, in case (2a) Champak was sold at Rs.80.

 SAMPLE SEATING ARRANGEMENT & PUZZLE

Based on above given information we have:

Case (1b) & case (2b) are not valid as no two books are bought at same price.
Again, we have:
• Abhi sold his book at Rs.75, that means in case (1a) Abhi bought Champak, in case (2a) Abhi bought
Lords of the Rings.
• The difference between purchase price and sold price of book bought by Maya is Rs.30, that means
in case (2a) Maya bought Panchtantra and bought book at Rs.120 and case (1a) is not valid.
• Since, purchase price and sold price of the book is not same, thus Zoya sold her book at Rs.60.
• Since, different between purchase and sold price is not less than Rs.10, thus Champak was bought
at Rs.115.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement as follow:

Case (1a) is not valid as different between purchase and sold price is not less than Rs.10.

• F lives adjacent to B, who neither lives adjacent to Z that means in case (1a) B lives on ground floor
of Tagore apartment and case (1c) is not valid.
• B lives three place apart from Y, that means Y lives on ground floor of Patel apartment.
Based on above given information we have:

Case (1b) & case (2b) is not valid as T lives exactly between H and Q, case (2a) F lives three places apart
from T and case (1c) F lives adjacent to B and B doesn’t live adjacent to Z.
Again, we have:
• W neither lives adjacent to H nor adjacent to Z.
• N lives immediate north-east to W, who lives just above floor of M.
• C lives two places apart from M, that means in case (1a) W lives at 2nd floor of Nehru apartment, in

Common Explanation:

We have:
• Three boxes are kept between the box which contains Ball and F, whose weight is 32kg.
• Weight of the box which contains Ball is not a perfect square.
• Box B and the box which contains Ball are kept together.
• Box B contains Mango and kept on any place above the box which contains Banana.
• The box which contains Banana and the box whose weight is 32kg are kept together.
• Since, the box which contains Mango is kept at any place above the box which contains Banana,
that means box F is kept below the box which contains Ball.
• Two boxes are kept between the box which contains Bat and box Q, which is neither kept adjacent
to box F nor contains Ball.

 SAMPLE SEATING ARRANGEMENT & PUZZLE

• The box Q is kept exactly between the box which contains Bat and the box which contains Mango,
that means box Q is kept three place below the box B, thus we have three possible place for the
box which contains Bat, in case (1) the box which contains Bat is kept at bottom, in case (2) the box
which contains Bat is kept second from bottom, in case (3) the box which contains Bat is kept third
from bottom.

Based on above given information we have:

Again, we have:
• Weight of the box which contains Banana is 13kg more than the box which contains Ball, since only
two such combinations are (8, 21) & (16, 29) .
• Box F is neither kept adjacent to the box D and the weight of box which contains banana is a non
primenumber., thus weight of the box which contains Banana is 21kg and that of the box which
contains Ball is 8kg.
• One box is kept between the box whose weight is 8kg and the box R, whose weight is 28kg, that
means in case (1) Box R is kept second from top, in case (2) the box R is kept at top and case (3) is
not valid.
• Three boxes are kept between the box which contains Toy and the box which contains Mobile,
whose weight is 9kg but not kept adjacent to the box which contains Eclairs.
• The box whose weight is 9kg is neither kept adjacent to the box which contains Banana nor kept at
top, that means in case (1) the box which contains mobile is kept fifth from bottom, in case (2) the
box which contains Mobile is kept at bottom.
Based on above given information we have:

 SAMPLE SEATING ARRANGEMENT & PUZZLE

Case (3) is not valid as one box is kept between the box whose weight is 8kg and the box R.
Again, we have:
• Difference between the box H and the box which contains Eclairs is 11kg, since only such possible
combination are (18, 29) & (21, 32).
• Weight of the box H is neither 18kg nor contains Banana, that means weight of the box H must be
29kg.
• Box H is kept at any place below the box Q, that means in case (1) box H is kept at bottom and box
Q contains Eclairs, in case (2) the box H is kept second from bottom and the box which contains
Eclairs is kept fourth from top.
• As, the box which contains Mobile is not kept adjacent to the box which contains Eclairs that means
case (1) is not valid.
Based on above given information we have:

Case (1) is not valid as the box which contains Mobile is not kept adjacent to the box which contains
Éclairs.

 SAMPLE SEATING ARRANGEMENT & PUZZLE

From I:
We have:
• Two boxes are kept between the box D and the box V, as box D and F are not kept together, that
means we have two possible condition, in case (1) the box D is kept third from top, in case (2) the
box D is kept at bottom.
• The box which contains Book is kept adjacent to the box V, that means the box which contains Book
is kept third from bottom.

• Three boxes are kept between the box D and the box whose weight is 16kg, as box D is not kept
adjacent to the box F, that means in case the box whose weight is 16 kg is kept fifth from top.
• Box V is kept at any place above the box P, thus no exact position of box W is known.
Hence, statement III is not sufficient alone.
Hence, option D is correct choice.

13.Answer: D
Explanation:
Clearly, only three boxes are kept above the box which contains Eclairs.
Hence, option D is correct choice.

14.Answer: A
Explanation:
From I:
We have:
• One box is kept between the box whose weight is 13kg and the box D, that means we have two
possible position for the box whose weight is 13kg, in case (1) the box whose weight is 13kg is kept
second from top and the box D is kept fourth from top, in case (2) the box whose weight is 13kg is
kept fifth from top and the box D is kept third from top.
Thus, exact position of the box whose weight is 16kg is not known.
Hence, statement I is not sufficient.
From II:
We have:
• The box which contains Perk is kept at a gap of one box from the box whose weight is 16kg, that
means the box which contains Perk is kept third from bottom and the box whose weight is 16kg is
kept fifth from top.

15.Answer: C
Explanation:
We have:
• Number of boxes above the box P is same as the number of boxes below the box which contains
Book.
• Box P is kept at any place above the box whose weight is 16kg, that means box P must kept third
from top and the box which contains Book is kept third from bottom.
• Neither box V nor box W contains Eclairs, that means box D contains Eclairs.
Based on above given information we have:

Clearly, only statement V is not true and statement II has a possible of being not true because if W is at
kept at fourth from the bottom then the statement II becomes invalid .
Hence, option C is correct choice.
