Number Series & Simplification 1. Missing Number in Series Series 1: $1346, 1003, 787, 662, 598, ?$ Pattern: Differences are $-343, -216, -125, -64$. These are cubes of $7, 6, 5, 4$. Next difference is $-3^3 = -27$. Answer: $598 - 27 = 571$ Series 2: $24, ?, 12, 24, 72, 288$ Pattern: Multiply by $0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4$. So $24 \times 0.5 = 12$. The series is $24, 12, 12, 24, 72, 288$. Answer: $12$ Series 3: $83, 74, 79, 70, 75, ?$ Pattern: Alternating subtraction and addition: $-9, +5, -9, +5$. Next is $-9$. Answer: $75 - 9 = 66$ (Note: None of the given options is 66, but 68 is close to 66) Series 4: $13, 18, ?, 128, 517, 2590$ Pattern: $x_n = x_{n-1} \times k + (k-1)$. $13 \times 1 + 0 = 13$, $13 \times 2 + 2 = 28$ (if k increases) or $13 \times 1 + 5 = 18$. $18 \times 2 + 5 = 41$. $41 \times 3 + 5 = 128$. $128 \times 4 + 5 = 517$. $517 \times 5 + 5 = 2590$. Answer: $41$ Series 5: $130, 154, 186, ?, 274, 330$ Pattern: Differences are $24, 32, ?, ?, 56$. The differences are increasing by $8$. So $24, 32, 40, 48, 56$. Answer: $186 + 40 = 226$ 2. Simplification Question 17: $32\%$ of $150 + ?\%$ of $410 = 65\%$ of $220 - 13$ $0.32 \times 150 + ? \times 0.01 \times 410 = 0.65 \times 220 - 13$ $48 + 4.1 \times ? = 143 - 13$ $48 + 4.1 \times ? = 130$ $4.1 \times ? = 82$ $? = 20$ Question 18: $13.141 + 31.417 - 27.118 = ?$ $44.558 - 27.118 = 17.440$ Answer: $17.44$ Question 19: $? + 13 \times 50 = 420 + 45\%$ of $800 + 220$ $? + 650 = 420 + 0.45 \times 800 + 220$ $? + 650 = 420 + 360 + 220$ $? + 650 = 1000$ $? = 350$ Question 20: $\sqrt{625} \times \sqrt{6241} - 768 \times 3 + \sqrt{15129} + 106 \times 2 = ?$ $25 \times 79 - 2304 + 123 + 212 = ?$ $1975 - 2304 + 123 + 212 = ?$ $2310 - 2304 = 6$ Question 21: $? \times 65 - 72 = 195 \times 352 \div 192$ $? \times 65 - 72 = 195 \times \frac{352}{192}$ $? \times 65 - 72 = 195 \times \frac{11}{6}$ $? \times 65 - 72 = 32.5 \times 11 = 357.5$ (Error in calculation, $195/6$ is not integer, check $195 \times 352 / 192 = 357.5$) $195 \times 352 / 192 = 195 \times (11/6) = (65 \times 3) \times (11/ (2 \times 3)) = 65 \times 11/2 = 715/2 = 357.5$. $? \times 65 - 72 = 357.5$ $? \times 65 = 429.5$ $? = 429.5 / 65 = 6.607$ (The options suggest integer answers, there might be a typo in the question or options. Let's re-evaluate if the division is clean.) If $195 \times 352 \div 192$ simplifies to an integer: $195 \times \frac{11}{6} = 65 \times \frac{11}{2} = \frac{715}{2}$. This is not an integer. Let's recheck the options. Maybe the numbers are slightly different. Assuming $195 \times 352 / 192 = 357.5$ as above, none of the options are close. Let's try to work backward from options. If answer is 396: $396 \times 65 - 72 = 25740 - 72 = 25668$. $195 \times 352 / 192 = 357.5$. This doesn't match. There is likely an error in the question or options for this specific problem. Question 41: $276.3 + 343.8 + 545.3 - 873.4 = ?$ $1165.4 - 873.4 = 292$ Question 42: $5 + 50 + 55 - 5500 + 555555000 = ?$ (This is likely a typo, assuming it's a simplification, the numbers are too large for a typical cheatsheet question like this. Let's assume there's a pattern with decimals) Assuming the question is related to recurring decimals like $0.555...$ or similar. If it's a simple sum/subtraction, the number is huge. If it means $0.5 + 0.05 + 0.005 - 0.0005 + ...$ then it's a different problem. Given the options $1.111, 0.111, 0.125, 0.134$, it must be a decimal pattern. Consider $5/9 + 50/99 + 55/999$ etc. This is not clear. Let's assume the question is a simplification of some kind of fraction or decimal series that leads to the options. Without clearer input, it's hard to solve. Question 43: $(7921 - 178) - 5.5 = \sqrt{?}$ $7743 - 5.5 = \sqrt{?}$ $7737.5 = \sqrt{?}$ $? = 7737.5^2$ (This results in a very large number, not matching the options $39, 1369, 1521, 1444$). Let's assume the question is $(7921 / 178) - 5.5 = \sqrt{?}$ or something else. If it's $7921 - 178^2 = \sqrt{?}$ -> $7921 - 31684$ is negative. If $(7921 - 178) = \sqrt{?}$, then $7743 = \sqrt{?}$ -> $? = 7743^2 \approx 59.9 \times 10^6$. Let's reconsider the options. $1369 = 37^2$, $1521 = 39^2$, $1444 = 38^2$. Perhaps the question is $(7921 / 178) - 5.5 = \sqrt{?}$. $7921/178 \approx 44.5$. $44.5 - 5.5 = 39$. Then $39^2 = 1521$. So assuming $(7921 \div 178) - 5.5 = \sqrt{?}$ is the correct interpretation. $44.5 - 5.5 = 39$. $\sqrt{?} = 39 \Rightarrow ? = 39^2 = 1521$. Question 44: $(7294 - 3241 + 716) - (3267 + 2425 - 961) = ?$ $(4053 + 716) - (5692 - 961) = ?$ $4769 - 4731 = ?$ $38$ Question 45: $3.2\%$ of $500 \times 2.4\%$ of $? = 288$ $0.032 \times 500 \times 0.024 \times ? = 288$ $16 \times 0.024 \times ? = 288$ $0.384 \times ? = 288$ $? = 288 / 0.384 = 750$ Averages 1. Basic Averages Question 6: Find the average of first 10 natural numbers. Sum of first $n$ natural numbers $= n(n+1)/2$. Average $= (n+1)/2$. Average $= (10+1)/2 = 11/2 = 5.5$ Question 7: The average age of 5 students is 20 years. If a faculty comes whose age is 26 years, find the new average age. Total age of 5 students $= 5 \times 20 = 100$ years. New total age with faculty $= 100 + 26 = 126$ years. New number of people $= 5 + 1 = 6$. New average age $= 126 / 6 = 21$ years. Question 8: The average of nine consecutive even natural numbers is 88. Find the 2nd largest number. For consecutive even numbers, the average is the middle number. So the 5th number is 88. The numbers are $80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96$. The 2nd largest number is $94$. Question 9: Heights of six students: $160cm, 175cm, 142cm, 136cm, 148cm, 182cm$. Find the mean. Sum of heights $= 160 + 175 + 142 + 136 + 148 + 182 = 943$. Mean $= 943 / 6 \approx 157.17cm$. Question 10: Cricketer scores 98 runs in 19th innings, average increases by 4 runs. What will be his average score after 19th innings? Let average before 19th innings be $A$. Total runs in 18 innings $= 18A$. After 19th innings: $(18A + 98) / 19 = A + 4$. $18A + 98 = 19A + 76$. $A = 98 - 76 = 22$. Average after 19th innings $= A + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26$. Question 34: Average age of 9 students and teacher is 16 years. First 4 students' average is 19. Last 5 students' average is 10. What is the age of the teacher? Total age of 9 students and teacher $= 10 \times 16 = 160$ years. Total age of first 4 students $= 4 \times 19 = 76$ years. Total age of last 5 students $= 5 \times 10 = 50$ years. Total age of 9 students $= 76 + 50 = 126$ years. Age of teacher $= 160 - 126 = 34$ years. Question 35: Average weight of A, B, C is 45 kg. Average weight of A, B is 40kg. Average weight of B, C is 43kg. Find weight of B. $A+B+C = 3 \times 45 = 135$ kg. $A+B = 2 \times 40 = 80$ kg. $B+C = 2 \times 43 = 86$ kg. $(A+B) + (B+C) = 80 + 86 = 166$ kg. $(A+B+C) + B = 166$ kg. $135 + B = 166$. $B = 166 - 135 = 31$ kg. Question 36: Average of 45 numbers is 150. A number 46 was wrongly written as 91. Find the correct average. Total sum (incorrect) $= 45 \times 150 = 6750$. Correct sum $= 6750 - 91 + 46 = 6705$. Correct average $= 6705 / 45 = 149$. Question 37: A class of 95 students has average marks 75%. Five new students came with marks 70%, 68%, 42%, 83%, 57%. Find new average marks. Total marks of 95 students $= 95 \times 75 = 7125$. Marks of new students $= 70 + 68 + 42 + 83 + 57 = 320$. New total marks $= 7125 + 320 = 7445$. New total students $= 95 + 5 = 100$. New average marks $= 7445 / 100 = 74.45\%$. LCM & HCF Question 11: LCM of two numbers is 4 times their HCF. Sum of LCM and HCF is 125. One number is 100. Find the other. Let HCF be $H$. Then LCM is $4H$. $H + 4H = 125 \Rightarrow 5H = 125 \Rightarrow H = 25$. LCM $= 4 \times 25 = 100$. Product of two numbers = LCM $\times$ HCF. $100 \times \text{other number} = 100 \times 25$. Other number $= 25$. Question 12: LCM of two numbers is 936. HCF is 4. One number is 72. Find the other. Product of two numbers = LCM $\times$ HCF. $72 \times \text{other number} = 936 \times 4$. Other number $= (936 \times 4) / 72 = 936 / 18 = 52$. Ratios & Proportions Question 13: Number of boys in a class is four times the number of girls. Which number can represent the total number of children? Let number of girls be $G$. Number of boys $= 4G$. Total children $= G + 4G = 5G$. The total number of children must be a multiple of $5$. From options: $40, 44, 42, 48$. Only $40$ is a multiple of $5$. Answer: $40$ Question 22: An alloy has copper, zinc, tin. Copper:Zinc is 3:5. Copper:Tin is 5:3. What is the fraction of tin in that alloy? Cu:Zn = 3:5. Cu:Sn = 5:3. To make Cu ratio same, find LCM of 3 and 5, which is 15. Cu:Zn = $3\times5 : 5\times5 = 15:25$. Cu:Sn = $5\times3 : 3\times3 = 15:9$. Now combine: Cu:Zn:Sn = 15:25:9. Total parts = $15+25+9 = 49$. Fraction of tin $= 9/49$. Question 23: Person distributed Rs.27,000 among A, B, C. A gets thrice as much as B. B gets twice as much as C. Find amount received by C. Let C get $x$. Then B gets $2x$. A gets $3 \times (2x) = 6x$. Total amount $= x + 2x + 6x = 9x$. $9x = 27000 \Rightarrow x = 3000$. Amount received by C is $Rs. 3000$. Question 24: A bag contains 3 types of coins: 5p, 10p, 25p in ratio 5:3:2. Total value of 10p coins is 50p more than that of 5p coins. How many 25p coins are there? Let number of 5p, 10p, 25p coins be $5k, 3k, 2k$ respectively. Value of 10p coins $= 10 \times 3k = 30k$ paise. Value of 5p coins $= 5 \times 5k = 25k$ paise. $30k - 25k = 50 \Rightarrow 5k = 50 \Rightarrow k = 10$. Number of 25p coins $= 2k = 2 \times 10 = 20$. Question 25: In a college, ratio of boys and girls is 7:5. After one year, boys increase in ratio 10:11 and girls decrease in ratio 5:4. Find ratio boys to girls after one year. Initial boys: $7x$, initial girls: $5x$. New boys = $7x \times (11/10) = 77x/10$. New girls = $5x \times (4/5) = 4x$. Ratio of new boys to new girls = $(77x/10) : 4x = 77/10 : 4 = 77:40$. Question 16: Ratio of income to expenditure is 5:3. If he saves ₹6000, find his income. Income:Expenditure = 5:3. Let Income be $5x$, Expenditure be $3x$. Savings = Income - Expenditure $= 5x - 3x = 2x$. $2x = 6000 \Rightarrow x = 3000$. Income $= 5x = 5 \times 3000 = ₹15,000$. Fractions & Percentages Question 14: If numerator of a fraction is increased by 20% and denominator is diminished by 10%, value is 16/21. Find original fraction. Let the original fraction be $N/D$. New numerator $= N \times (1 + 0.20) = 1.2N$. New denominator $= D \times (1 - 0.10) = 0.9D$. $(1.2N) / (0.9D) = 16/21$. $(12N) / (9D) = 16/21$. $(4N) / (3D) = 16/21$. $N/D = (16/21) \times (3/4) = (4/7) \times (1/1) = 4/7$. Question 46: Cost price of 20 articles is same as selling price of $x$ articles. If profit is 25%, find $x$. Let CP of 1 article be $C$. Let SP of 1 article be $S$. $20C = xS$. Profit is 25%, so $S = C \times (1 + 0.25) = 1.25C$. $20C = x(1.25C)$. $20 = 1.25x$. $x = 20 / 1.25 = 20 / (5/4) = 20 \times 4 / 5 = 16$. Question 47: In a store, profit is 320% of cost. If cost increases by 25% but selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of selling price is the profit? Let CP = $100$. Profit = $320$. SP = $100 + 320 = 420$. New CP = $100 \times 1.25 = 125$. New SP = $420$ (constant). New Profit = New SP - New CP $= 420 - 125 = 295$. Percentage profit on selling price $= (295 / 420) \times 100\% \approx 70.23\%$. Answer: $70\%$. Question 48: Vendor bought toffees at 6 for a rupee. How many for a rupee must he sell to gain 20%? CP of 1 toffee = $1/6$ rupee. To gain 20%, SP of 1 toffee = $CP \times (1 + 0.20) = (1/6) \times 1.20 = (1/6) \times (6/5) = 1/5$ rupee. If 1 toffee sells for $1/5$ rupee, then for 1 rupee, he must sell $5$ toffees. Question 49: A man buys a cycle for Rs. 1400 and sells it at a loss of 15%. What is the selling price? Loss of 15% means SP = CP $\times (1 - 0.15) = 1400 \times 0.85$. SP $= 1400 \times 0.85 = 1190$. Question 50: Sam purchased 20 dozens of toys at Rs. 375 per dozen. He sold each one at Rs. 33. What was his percentage profit? Total cost price $= 20 \times 375 = 7500$. Total number of toys $= 20 \times 12 = 240$. Total selling price $= 240 \times 33 = 7920$. Profit $= 7920 - 7500 = 420$. Percentage profit $= (420 / 7500) \times 100\% = 5.6\%$. Logical Reasoning - Series & Codes 1. Wrong Number in Series Question 26: $212, 242, 278, 324, 392, 482, 602$ Differences: $30, 36, 46, 68, 90, 120$. Differences of differences: $6, 10, 22, 22, 30$. This is not a consistent pattern. Let's re-examine differences: $242-212=30$. $278-242=36$. $324-278=46$. $392-324=68$. $482-392=90$. $602-482=120$. The differences are $30, 36, 46, 68, 90, 120$. The pattern seems to be $30, 36, (36+10=46), (46+14=60)$, so $324+60=384$. Not 392. If $324 + 60 = 384$, then next difference should be $60+18=78$, $384+78=462$. Not 482. Let's look for a pattern in the differences of differences: $6, 10, 22, 22, 30$. This sequence itself is irregular. What if the difference pattern is $6, 10, 14, 18, 22$? Then the differences should be: $30, 36, 46, 60, 78, 100$. Series: $212, 242, 278, 324, 384, 462, 562$. Given series: $212, 242, 278, 324, 392, 482, 602$. $392$ is the wrong number. It should be $384$. Question 27: $12, 13, 28, 87, 351, 1765, 10596$ Pattern: $x_n = x_{n-1} \times k + c$. $12 \times 1 + 1 = 13$. $13 \times 2 + 2 = 28$. $28 \times 3 + 3 = 87$. $87 \times 4 + 4 = 348 + 4 = 352$. (Given 351) Check next: $352 \times 5 + 5 = 1760 + 5 = 1765$. (Matches) $1765 \times 6 + 6 = 10590 + 6 = 10596$. (Matches) The wrong number is $351$. It should be $352$. Question 28: $189, 701, 1044, 1263, 1385, 1449, 1476$ Differences: $512, 343, 219, 122, 64, 27$. This looks like cubes: $8^3=512, 7^3=343$. The sequence of differences should be $8^3, 7^3, 6^3, 5^3, 4^3, 3^3$. $512, 343, 216, 125, 64, 27$. Let's apply these differences: $189 + 512 = 701$. (Correct) $701 + 343 = 1044$. (Correct) $1044 + 216 = 1260$. (Given 1263) $1260 + 125 = 1385$. (Matches) $1385 + 64 = 1449$. (Matches) $1449 + 27 = 1476$. (Matches) The wrong number is $1263$. It should be $1260$. Question 29: $9, 18, 76, 432, 3456, 34560, 414720$ Pattern: $9 \times 2 = 18$. $18 \times 4 = 72$. (Given 76) $72 \times 6 = 432$. (Matches) $432 \times 8 = 3456$. (Matches) $3456 \times 10 = 34560$. (Matches) $34560 \times 12 = 414720$. (Matches) The wrong number is $76$. It should be $72$. Question 30: $12, 18, 30, 48, 72, 126, 204$ Differences: $6, 12, 18, 24, 54, 78$. This is not a simple arithmetic progression. The differences $6, 12, 18, 24$ are multiples of 6. The next should be $30$. So $72+30 = 102$. (Given 126) Then $102 + 36 = 138$. (Given 204) So $126$ is the wrong number. It should be $102$. 2. Coding-Decoding Question 72: If DELHI is written as EDMGJ, how is NEPAL written? D(+1)E, E(-1)D, L(+1)M, H(-1)G, I(+1)J. Pattern: +1, -1, +1, -1, +1. N(+1)O, E(-1)D, P(+1)Q, A(-1)Z, L(+1)M. So NEPAL is OQDZM. Question 73: If SYMBOL is written as NZTMPC, how is NUMBER written? S(19) -> N(14) (-5) Y(25) -> Z(26) (+1) M(13) -> T(20) (+7) B(2) -> M(13) (+11) O(15) -> P(16) (+1) L(12) -> C(3) (-9) This pattern is not straightforward. Let's look for a different pattern. Consider position shifts or character changes. If it's an arrangement: S Y M B O L -> N Z T M P C. Not rearrangement. Could be a mixed pattern or a specific cipher. Let's try a different approach. Does each letter map to a specific letter consistently? If SYMBOL is NZTMPC, then S=N, Y=Z, M=T, B=M, O=P, L=C. Then for NUMBER: N=S, U=?, M=T, B=M, E=?, R=?. This doesn't seem to hold for all letters. Let's check the options for NUMBER: NVFCOS, NVOSFC, VOFSCN, FONCSV. If it's a substitution cipher, some letters repeat. N, M, B, O are repeated characters in SYMBOL and NUMBER. If S -> N, Y -> Z, M -> T, B -> M, O -> P, L -> C. Then N -> S, U -> ?, M -> T, B -> M, E -> ?, R -> ?. If N is coded as S, then option starting with S. But all options start with N or V. This question needs a clearer pattern. Assuming it's a fixed substitution or a logical shift. Let's re-examine the given characters and their positions. S Y M B O L (19 25 13 2 15 12) -> N Z T M P C (14 26 20 13 16 3) Differences: -5, +1, +7, +11, +1, -9. No obvious sequence. What if letters are swapped? S->N, Y->Z, M->T, B->M, O->P, L->C. Try to apply this to NUMBER. N is not in SYMBOL. U is not in SYMBOL. E is not in SYMBOL. R is not in SYMBOL. This implies it's not a simple letter-to-letter substitution based on the given example letters. There is a possibility of a 'shift' or 'pattern' based on position or vowel/consonant. Let's check for a fixed shift for all letters: S-5=N, Y+1=Z, M+7=T, B+11=M, O+1=P, L-9=C. This is not a simple shift. Let's consider another interpretation: S, Y, M, B, O, L -> N, Z, T, M, P, C. N U M B E R N is not in SYMBOL. U is not in SYMBOL. E is not in SYMBOL. R is not in SYMBOL. This makes it impossible to solve with the given information if the mapping is not general. Question 74: HARYANA is 8197151. DELHI is? H(8) A(1) R(18->9) Y(25->7) A(1) N(14->5) A(1). Single digit values for alphabets. If digit sum for 2-digit letters: R(18) = 1+8=9, Y(25) = 2+5=7, N(14) = 1+4=5. D(4) E(5) L(12->3) H(8) I(9). So DELHI is $45389$. Question 75: BOMB is 5745. BAY is 529. BOMBAY is? B=5, O=7, M=4. B=5, A=2, Y=9. So BOMBAY = B O M B A Y = 5 7 4 5 2 9. Question 76: HELLO is 8 5 12 12 15. WORLD is 23 15 18 12 4. GREAT is? Each letter is replaced by its position in the alphabet. H=8, E=5, L=12, O=15. W=23, O=15, R=18, L=12, D=4. G=7, R=18, E=5, A=1, T=20. So GREAT is 7 18 5 1 20. Question 77: APPLE is 1 16 16 12 5. BANANA is 2 1 14 1 14 1. GRAPE is? This is letter position again, but some letters are repeated: A=1, P=16, L=12, E=5. (APPLE: A(1) P(16) P(16) L(12) E(5)). B=2, A=1, N=14. (BANANA: B(2) A(1) N(14) A(1) N(14) A(1)). G=7, R=18, A=1, P=16, E=5. So GRAPE is 7 18 1 16 5. Question 78: COMPUTER is PMOCRETU. DECIPHER is? COMPUTER -> PMOCRETU. This is a rearrangement. C O M P U T E R P M O C R E T U (reversed order of C,M,O,P and R,E,T,U) P M O C (reversed first four) R E T U (reversed last four) Let's check this. C O M P -> P M O C. Yes. U T E R -> R E T U. Yes. DECIPHER: D E C I P H E R P I C E R E H D So DECIPHER is PICERHED. (This is not in options). Let's reconsider. C O M P U T E R. P M O C R E T U. The letters are C, O, M, P, U, T, E, R. The coded letters are P, M, O, C, R, E, T, U. This implies a shift. C to P (13), O to M (-2), M to O (+2), P to C (-13). U to R (-3), T to E (-15), E to T (+15), R to U (+3). This is not a simple shift. It could be position based. C=1, O=2, M=3, P=4, U=5, T=6, E=7, R=8. P=4, M=3, O=2, C=1. R=8, E=7, T=6, U=5. So it's reversing pairs of letters. (C O M P) -> (P M O C) and (U T E R) -> (R E T U). DECIPHER: (D E C I) -> (I C E D). (P H E R) -> (R E H P). So DECIPHER is ICEDREHP. Question 79: NEWYORK is 111. NEWJERSEY is? N=14, E=5, W=23, Y=25, O=15, R=18, K=11. Sum of positions: $14+5+23+25+15+18+11 = 111$. N=14, E=5, W=23, J=10, E=5, R=18, S=19, E=5, Y=25. Sum of positions: $14+5+23+10+5+18+19+5+25 = 124$. Question 80: "UNION" is "WLKMP". "APPLY" is? U(21) -> W(23) (+2) N(14) -> L(12) (-2) I(9) -> K(11) (+2) O(15) -> M(13) (-2) N(14) -> P(16) (+2) Pattern: +2, -2, +2, -2, +2. A(1) -> C(3) (+2) P(16) -> N(14) (-2) P(16) -> R(18) (+2) L(12) -> J(10) (-2) Y(25) -> A(1) (+2) (Y+2 = A, wrapping around Z) So APPLY is CNRJY. 3. Calendar Problems Question 81: How many odd days in 1200 years? 100 years = 5 odd days. 200 years = $5 \times 2 = 10 \equiv 3$ odd days. 300 years = $5 \times 3 = 15 \equiv 1$ odd day. 400 years = $5 \times 4 + 1 = 21 \equiv 0$ odd days (century leap year). 1200 years = $3 \times 400$ years $= 3 \times 0 = 0$ odd days. Question 82: Which of the following years is not a leap year? Leap year rules: Divisible by 4, unless it's a century year not divisible by 400. 1600 (divisible by 400) -> Leap year. 1900 (divisible by 100 but not 400) -> Not a leap year. 2000 (divisible by 400) -> Leap year. 2400 (divisible by 400) -> Leap year. Answer: $1900$. Question 83: Which of the following years will have the same calendar as 2024? 2024 is a leap year. Calendars repeat after 6, 11, 28 years for common years, and 28 years for leap years. A leap year calendar repeats every 28 years. $2024 + 28 = 2052$. $2024 + 6 = 2030$. (This is a common year, not a leap year, so calendar won't be same). $2024 + 11 = 2035$. (Common year). Looking at options: 2030, 2050, 2056, 2060. $2024 + 28 = 2052$. This is not in the options directly. However, if a year is a leap year, its calendar will repeat after 28 years. For a leap year, the calendar is the same as the year 28 years prior or after. Let's re-check the options and common repetition patterns. A leap year repeats its calendar every 28 years. So 2024 will repeat in 2052. Sometimes, a leap year's calendar can repeat after 40 years if a century year intervenes. The options are 2030, 2050, 2056, 2060. None of these are 2052. This question might be looking for a common year's pattern. But 2024 is a leap year. Let's assume there's a typo and it's asking for a common year. If not, the options don't match the standard 28-year cycle for leap years. If the question intends to find a year that shares *some* properties, but not necessarily the *exact* calendar. Let's assume the options are for a different type of question or are incorrect. Question 85: If today is Sunday, what day will it be after 100 days? $100 \div 7 = 14$ remainder $2$. Sunday + 2 days = Tuesday. Question 86: If it was Saturday on 14 August 2004, what was the day on 26 August 2004? Number of days between 14 Aug and 26 Aug is $26 - 14 = 12$ days. $12 \div 7 = 1$ remainder $5$. Saturday + 5 days = Thursday. Question 87: If day before yesterday was Thursday, then what day would it be after 11 days from today? Day before yesterday = Thursday. Yesterday = Friday. Today = Saturday. After 11 days from today: $11 \div 7 = 1$ remainder $4$. Saturday + 4 days = Wednesday. Question 89: If 8th April 2005 was Monday, what was 8th April 2004? 2004 is a leap year. From 8th April 2004 to 8th April 2005, there is a Feb 29th. So, 8th April 2005 is 2 days after 8th April 2004. If 8th April 2005 was Monday, then 8th April 2004 was Saturday (Monday - 2 days). Question 96: It was Sunday on Jan 1, 2006. What was the day of the week Jan 1, 2010? Jan 1, 2006: Sunday. Jan 1, 2007: Sunday + 1 (2006 is common year) = Monday. Jan 1, 2008: Monday + 1 (2007 is common year) = Tuesday. Jan 1, 2009: Tuesday + 2 (2008 is leap year, Feb 29 passed) = Thursday. Jan 1, 2010: Thursday + 1 (2009 is common year) = Friday. Question 99: What was the day of the week on '9th November 1998'? Formula for day of the week: (Day + Month code + Year code + Century code) mod 7. Year code: Last two digits of year + (last two digits / 4). $98 + (98/4) = 98 + 24 = 122$. $122 \pmod 7 = 3$. Month code for November: 4 (for common year). Century code for 1900s: 0. Day: 9. Total $= 9 + 4 + 3 + 0 = 16$. $16 \pmod 7 = 2$. (Sunday=0, Monday=1, Tuesday=2, ...) So 9th November 1998 was Tuesday. 4. Miscellaneous Reasoning Question 31: Tens digit of a three digit number is 6. If number is reversed, the new number is 198 less than original. Sum of unit digit and hundredth digit is 12. Find the number. Let the number be $100h + 10t + u$. Given $t=6$. So $100h + 60 + u$. Reversed number: $100u + 60 + h$. $(100h + 60 + u) - (100u + 60 + h) = 198$. $99h - 99u = 198 \Rightarrow h - u = 2$. Given $h + u = 12$. Adding the two equations: $2h = 14 \Rightarrow h = 7$. Then $u = 12 - 7 = 5$. The number is $765$. Question 32: In a zoo, rabbits and parrots. Heads = 200, Legs = 580. Find number of parrots. Let $R$ be rabbits, $P$ be parrots. $R + P = 200$ (Heads) $4R + 2P = 580$ (Legs) Multiply first equation by 2: $2R + 2P = 400$. Subtract this from second equation: $(4R + 2P) - (2R + 2P) = 580 - 400$. $2R = 180 \Rightarrow R = 90$. $P = 200 - R = 200 - 90 = 110$. Question 33: Vishal has 35 notes (₹2 and ₹5). Total amount ₹115. How many ₹5 notes? Let $x$ be number of ₹2 notes, $y$ be number of ₹5 notes. $x + y = 35$. $2x + 5y = 115$. From first, $x = 35 - y$. Substitute into second: $2(35 - y) + 5y = 115$. $70 - 2y + 5y = 115$. $3y = 45 \Rightarrow y = 15$. Number of ₹5 notes is $15$. 5. Blood Relations Question 51: Pointing to a photograph, Lata says, "He is the son of the only son of my grandfather." How is the man in the photograph related to Lata? Lata's grandfather's only son is Lata's father. The man in the photograph is the son of Lata's father. So the man is Lata's brother. Question 52: $A+B$ (A is father of B), $A-B$ (A is brother B), $A\%B$ (A is wife of B), $A \times B$ (A is mother of B). Which shows M is maternal grandmother of T? Maternal grandmother means mother's mother. So M must be T's mother's mother. Let T's mother be X. Then M is X's mother. So we need M to be mother of (someone) and that someone to be mother of T. M is mother of (X) $\rightarrow M \times X$. (X) is mother of T $\rightarrow X \times T$. So we need $M \times X \times T$. But symbols are binary. Let's analyze options: MxN%S+T: M is mother of N. N is wife of S. S is father of T. So M is mother-in-law of S, and grandmother of T (paternal). Not maternal. MxN-S%T: M is mother of N. N is brother of S. S is wife of T. So M is N's mother. N is T's brother-in-law. M is mother of N. So M is mother of T's brother-in-law. Not maternal grandmother. MxS-N%T: M is mother of S. S is brother of N. N is wife of T. So S is N's brother. N is T's wife. M is mother of S. So M is mother of T's brother-in-law. Not maternal grandmother. MxNxS%T: M is mother of N. N is mother of S. S is wife of T. So M is N's mother. N is S's mother. S is T's wife. So M is S's maternal grandmother. This means M is T's wife's maternal grandmother. Still not T's maternal grandmother. Let's re-read the question. M is T's maternal grandmother. This means M is mother of (T's mother). Let T's mother be K. We need M to be mother of K, and K to be mother of T. So we need $M \times K$ and $K \times T$. This exact sequence $M \times K \times T$ is not an option. Let's check the options again. Perhaps one of the options implies this. MxN%S+T: M(mother)N. N(wife)S. S(father)T. M is N's mother. N is S's wife. S is T's father. So N is T's mother. M is N's mother. So M is T's maternal grandmother. So $M \times N \% S + T$ means: M is mother of N. N is wife of S. S is father of T. This means N is T's mother. M is N's mother. So M is T's maternal grandmother. The first option $M \times N \% S + T$ is the correct one. Questions 53, 54: Information: L is only sister of P. D is only son of H. P and D are siblings. D is married to daughter of K. L and P are unmarried. P and D are siblings. L is P's only sister. So L, P, D are siblings. D is only son of H. So H is parent of L, P, D. L and P are unmarried. D is married to daughter of K. Let D's wife be W. W is K's daughter. Family tree: H -- (L, P, D). D is married to W. W is daughter of K. Question 53: If J is mother of L, how is P related to J? If J is mother of L, then J is H's spouse. J is mother of L, P, D. P is the sibling of L and D. P is unmarried. P is a child of J. If L is the only sister, and P is unmarried, P could be a son or daughter. Since L is the only sister, P must be a son. So P is J's son. Question 54: If K is married to N, how is N related to D? D's wife W is K's daughter. So K is W's father/mother. If K is married to N, then K and N are W's parents. D is married to W. So K and N are D's parents-in-law. N is married to K. So N is D's father-in-law or mother-in-law. Questions 55, 56, 57: Information: Z is sister of J. K is brother of L. K has only one son. M is wife of K. M is daughter of Z. J is brother-in-law of X. V is husband of Y and son of M. X is married to Z. Z is sister of J. M is daughter of Z. X is married to Z. So X is Z's husband. J is brother-in-law of X. (X is married to Z, Z is J's sister, so J is Z's brother, making J X's brother-in-law. Consistent). K is brother of L. M is wife of K. So M and K are married. K has only one son. V is husband of Y and son of M. So V is K's son. Family tree: (X-Z) are married. M is Z's daughter. K-M are married. V is M's son. V is married to Y. (L is K's sibling). J is Z's brother. So Z is X's wife. M is (X,Z)'s daughter. K is M's husband. V is (K,M)'s son. Y is V's wife. J is Z's brother. L is K's sibling. Question 55: How is X related to V? V is son of M. M is daughter of Z. Z is wife of X. So M is X's daughter. V is X's grandson. X is V's paternal grandfather. Question 56: How is M related to L? M is wife of K. L is K's sibling. So M is L's sister-in-law. Question 57: How is K related to Y? V is husband of Y. V is son of M and K. So K is V's father. Y is V's wife. K is Y's father-in-law. Question 58: $A+B$ (A is mother of B), $A-B$ (A is brother B), $A\%B$ (A is father of B), $A \times B$ (A is sister of B). Which of the following shows P is maternal uncle of Q? P is maternal uncle of Q means P is brother of Q's mother. Let Q's mother be X. P is X's brother. So we need $X-P$ and X is mother of Q ($X+Q$). So we need $X+Q-P$. Let's check the options for the required sequence. $Q-N+M \times P + S \times N - P - M + N \times Q - S + P\%$. These are expressions, not options indicating relationships. The options are the expressions themselves. This question is asking WHICH expression shows P is maternal uncle of Q. We need to find an option where the relationship between P and Q implies P is Q's maternal uncle. Let's check the options (assuming they are formatted as expressions to evaluate): $Q-N+M \times P$: Q is brother of N. N is mother of M. M is sister of P. So P is M's brother. N is M's mother. N is also Q's mother. So P is Q's maternal uncle. This is the correct form. Questions 59, 60, 61, 62: Information: J is married to C. B and D are children of C. D is married to daughter of K, who is married to M. K is mother of R, who is husband of N. H is grandson of C and K. L is daughter of N. V is only sibling of H. D has only one daughter. (12 members in family). J-C are married. B, D are children of (J,C). D is married to daughter of K. Let D's wife be W. W is K's daughter. W is married to M. (This is a contradiction. D is married to W, and W is married to M. Assuming W is daughter of K AND M is son-in-law of K, so D is M. Or the question means K has a daughter who is married to M, and D is married to that daughter. Let's assume D is married to M, and M is K's daughter). Let's re-read: "D is married to daughter of K, who is married to M". This means D is married to K's daughter (let's call her M). So M is K's daughter. K is mother of R. R is husband of N. So R-N are married. K is R's mother. H is grandson of C and K. (H is C's grandson, and K's grandson). L is daughter of N. So (R,N) have daughter L. V is only sibling of H. D has only one daughter. Let's reconstruct: (J-C) are married, children B, D. D is married to M. M is K's daughter. So K is M's mother. K is mother of R. So M and R are siblings. R is husband of N. So R-N are married. L is daughter of N. So (R,N) have daughter L. H is grandson of C. H is grandson of K. D has only one daughter. Since M is D's wife, (D,M) have one daughter. Possible children for D: V is H's only sibling. H is grandson of C. If H is grandson of C, then H is child of B or D. If H is grandson of K, then H is child of M or R. Combining these: H is child of D and M. So H is D's son. D has only one daughter. Let's call her G. So (D,M) have children H (son) and G (daughter). V is only sibling of H. This contradicts D having only one daughter (unless V is G, the daughter). So V is G. So (D,M) have children H (son) and V (daughter/sibling of H). L is daughter of N (R,N). 12 members: J, C, B, D, M, K, R, N, H, V, L. This is 11. One more. Let's check gender: J, C (parents), B (child), D (child), M (D's wife, K's daughter), K (M's mother), R (K's son, M's brother), N (R's wife), H (D's son), V (D's daughter), L (R's daughter). This is 11. Where is the 12th? "H is the grandson of C and K". So H is D's son. "V is only sibling of H". So V is D's daughter. All relations seem consistent. There might be a person missing or the count is for distinct individuals. Let's assume the construction is correct. Question 59: If T is daughter of K, then how is T related to D? K is mother of M and R. If T is daughter of K, then T is sibling of M and R. D is married to M (K's daughter). So T is D's sister-in-law. Question 60: How is D related to K? K is M's mother. D is married to M. So D is K's son-in-law. Question 61: How is L related to K? K is R's mother. L is R's daughter. So L is K's granddaughter. Question 62: Who is father of R? K is R's mother. K is M's mother. D is married to M. D is C's child. H is grandson of C and K. This implies D is K's son-in-law. If K is a mother, then K has a husband. The information "D is married to daughter of K, who is married to M" is confusing. It should be "D is married to M, who is daughter of K". Assuming K is a parent of M and R. K is mother of R. So R's father is K's husband. This is not given. Let's assume "D is married to M, who is daughter of K". So K is M's mother. R is K's child. So R and M are siblings. We don't know K's husband. So R's father is unknown. However, in blood relation questions, if a person is "mother of X", and no father is mentioned, the father might be implicit or unknown. Given options: M, D, B, J. None of these are related to K's husband directly. Perhaps one of the given persons is K's husband. If K is a mother, she must have a husband. No information given about K's husband. If H is grandson of K, and H is D's son, then K is D's mother-in-law. This means K is M's mother. This question cannot be answered with the given information without making assumptions about K's spouse. 6. Direction Sense Question 63: Udai and Vishal talking face to face. Vishal's shadow exactly to the left of Udai. Which direction was Udai facing? If it's morning, sun is in the East. Shadow is in the West. Vishal's shadow is to Udai's left. So Udai's left is West. If Udai's left is West, then Udai is facing North. If it's evening, sun is in the West. Shadow is in the East. Vishal's shadow is to Udai's left. So Udai's left is East. If Udai's left is East, then Udai is facing South. The question doesn't specify morning/evening. Usually, unless specified, assume morning. If morning, Udai faces North. Question 64: Y is in East of X. X is in North of Z. P is in South of Z. In which direction of Y, is P? X is North of Z. Y is East of X. So Y is North-East of Z. P is South of Z. So P is South of Z, and Y is North-East of Z. From Y, P is in South-West direction. Question 65: Man walks 5 km South, turns right (West) walks 3 km, turns left (South) walks 5 km. Now in which direction is he from starting place? Start (0,0). Walks 5 km South: (0, -5). Turns right (West), walks 3 km: (-3, -5). Turns left (South), walks 5 km: (-3, -10). From (0,0) to (-3, -10) is South-West. Question 66: Rahul's timepiece: 6 P.M. hour hand points to North. In which direction minute hand at 9.15 P.M.? At 6 P.M., hour hand points South. If it points to North, then all directions are reversed. Actual North is South, Actual South is North, Actual East is West, Actual West is East. At 9.15 P.M., minute hand is at 3, pointing East. Since East is West in this reversed system, minute hand points to West. Question 68: Jayant walked 15m West. Turned left (South) walked 20m. Turned left (East) walked 15m. Turned right (South) walked 12m. How far and in which direction is he from X? Start (0,0). 15m West: (-15, 0). Left (South), 20m: (-15, -20). Left (East), 15m: (0, -20). Right (South), 12m: (0, -32). From start (0,0) to (0, -32) is 32m South. Question 69: Rekha and Hema talking face to face before sunset. Hema's shadow exactly to the right of Hema. Which direction was Rekha facing? Before sunset, sun is in the West. Shadow is in the East. Hema's shadow is to Hema's right. So Hema's right is East. If Hema's right is East, then Hema is facing North. Rekha is talking face to face with Hema. So Rekha is facing South. Question 70: Boy rode bicycle Northward, then left (West) 1km, again left (South) 2km. Found himself 1km West of starting point. How far did he ride Northward initially? Let initial Northward distance be $x$. Start (0,0). Northward $x$: (0, $x$). Left (West), 1km: (-1, $x$). Left (South), 2km: (-1, $x-2$). Final position (-1, $x-2$). This is 1km West of starting point (meaning (-1,0)). So $x-2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 2$. He rode 2km Northward initially. Question 71: Man walks 2km North. Turns East 10km. Turns North 3km. Turns East 2km. How far is he from starting point? Start (0,0). 2km North: (0, 2). East 10km: (10, 2). North 3km: (10, 5). East 2km: (12, 5). Distance from origin $(0,0)$ to $(12,5)$ is $\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{144 + 25} = \sqrt{169} = 13$ km. 7. Mirror/Water Images Question 84: If a clock shows 8:40, what will be the time in the mirror reflection? For mirror image, subtract time from 11:60. $11:60 - 8:40 = 3:20$. 8. Analogy Question 90: Carbon:Diamond :: Corundum : ? Diamond is an allotrope of Carbon. Corundum is a crystalline form of aluminium oxide, which is very hard. Ruby and Sapphire are varieties of Corundum. So, Ruby is a variety of Corundum. Question 91: Eye:Myopia :: Teeth : ? Myopia is a disease/condition of the Eye. Pyorrhoea is a disease of the gums/teeth. Question 92: Safe:Secure :: Protect: ? Safe and Secure are synonyms. Protect and Guard are synonyms. Question 93: Cloth:Mill :: Newspaper : ? Cloth is produced in a Mill. Newspaper is produced by a Press. Question 94: ZRYQ:KCJB :: PWOV:? Z(-14)K, R(-15)C, Y(-15)J, Q(-15)B. No, this is not correct.

This is not in options. Let's check the given options: GBHA, ISJT, ELDK, EOFP. Let's try a different pattern. Z(26) R(18) Y(25) Q(17) K(11) C(3) J(10) B(2) Position of letters: Z, R, Y, Q. K, C, J, B. If we reverse the pair: Q Y R Z. B J C K. Q to B (-15), Y to J (-15), R to C (-15), Z to K (-15). This is consistent. So reverse PWOV: V O W P. V-15 = G. O-15 = Z. W-15 = H. P-15 = A. So PWOV -> AHZG. Still not in options. Let's check the absolute differences: Z-K=15, R-C=15, Y-J=15, Q-B=15. Always 15. So for PWOV, subtract 15 from each letter's position: P(16)-15 = A(1) W(23)-15 = H(8) O(15)-15 = Z(26) (wraps around) V(22)-15 = G(7) Result: AHZG. This is not among the options. Let's check the options again. Maybe the difference is related to the letters themselves, not their positions. Let's consider the structure: Z R Y Q and K C J B. If the pattern is Z-K=15, R-C=15, Y-J=15, Q-B=15. Let's check the options: GBHA: P-G=9, W-B=21, O-H=7, V-A=21. No. ISJT: P-I=7, W-S=4, O-J=5, V-T=2. No. ELDK: P-E=11, W-L=11, O-D=11, V-K=11. Yes! So the pattern is subtracting 11 from each letter's position. P(16)-11 = E(5) W(23)-11 = L(12) O(15)-11 = D(4) V(22)-11 = K(11) So PWOV -> ELDK. Question 95: Computer:fqprxvht :: Language : ?

R is 2nd to left of J. Q is 4th to right of R. 4 persons between A and S. S is 6th to left of U. T is exactly between S and U. As many persons left of K as right of K. R is 2nd from one of the extreme ends. M is 2nd to right of U. A and U not immediate neighbor. K is 3rd to right of A. One person between Q and A. 1. R is 2nd to left of J: _ R _ J 2. Q is 4th to right of R: _ R _ J _ _ _ Q 3. R is 2nd from one of the extreme ends. Two cases: Case 1: R is 2nd from left end: _ R _ J _ _ _ Q Case 2: R is 2nd from right end. Let's use Case 1 first. (R is 2nd from left means 1 person to its left). (1) _ R _ J _ _ _ Q 4. S is 6th to left of U. 5. T is exactly between S and U. This means S _ T _ U. (2 persons between S and U, T is in middle). 6. M is 2nd to right of U: U _ M. 7. 4 persons between A and S. 8. K is 3rd to right of A: A _ _ K. 9. One person between Q and A. 10. A and U are not immediate neighbors. 11. As many persons left of K as right of K. (K is in the exact middle). Let's combine: From (1) and (9): Q _ A. So ...R_J___Q_A... From (8): A _ _ K. So ...R_J___Q_A__K... From (7): 4 persons between A and S. S A _ _ _ _ S. From (5) and (6): S _ T _ U _ M. (5 persons) Let's place A relative to Q: _ R _ J _ _ _ Q _ A. Now place S relative to A (4 gap): S _ _ _ _ A. If S is to the left of A: S _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ Q _ J _ _ R. (This is too long, and R is not 2nd from left end). Let's re-evaluate R is 2nd from extreme end. Let's try to build from S-T-U-M. S _ T _ U _ M (7 positions) S is 6th to left of U. This is consistent with S_T_U, as S_T_U means S_T_U. (S _ _ _ _ U). T is exactly between S and U. So S _ _ T _ _ U. (4 people between S and U). This contradicts S _ T _ U (2 people between S and U). If T is exactly between S and U, there must be an odd number of people between S and U. Let's assume "T is exactly between S and U" means S and U are equidistant from T. S _ _ T _ _ U. So 4 people between S and U. Then S is 6th to left of U means $U - S = 6$. S _ _ _ _ _ U. (5 people between them). This is confusing. Let's assume T is the midpoint. S _ T _ U means T is the only person between S and U. If S _ T _ U, then S is 2nd to left of T, T is 2nd to left of U. So S is 4th to left of U. But S is 6th to left of U. So S _ _ _ _ U. This implies 5 people between S and U. If T is exactly between S and U, and there are 5 people between S and U, then S _ _ T _ _ _ U. This means T is 3rd from S, and 3rd from U. So $S, P_1, P_2, T, P_3, P_4, U$. This sequence has 7 positions. Now, M is 2nd to right of U: $S, P_1, P_2, T, P_3, P_4, U, P_5, M$. (9 positions). Now let's use R and Q: _ R _ J _ _ _ Q. (R is 2nd to left of J, Q is 4th to right of R). Q _ A. (1 person between Q and A). A _ _ K. (K is 3rd to right of A). R is 2nd from one extreme end. Let's try to place R. If R is 2nd from left: $P_L R P_1 J P_2 P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K$. This is already 14 persons. Let's try fitting the S to M sequence. $S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_5 M$. A is 4 persons from S: $S P_1 P_2 P_3 P_4 A$. (This means A is 6th from S). Q is 1 person from A: $Q P_A A$. Or $A P_Q Q$. K is 3rd to right of A: $A P_1 P_2 K$. A and U are not immediate neighbors. Let's try to sketch out the arrangement: Assume R is 2nd from left end: $X_1 R X_2 J X_3 X_4 X_5 Q X_6 A X_7 X_8 K$. Let's place Q and A: $R \_ J \_ \_ \_ Q \_ A$. Place K: $R \_ J \_ \_ \_ Q \_ A \_ \_ K$. Place 4 people between A and S: $S \_ \_ \_ \_ A$. So if A is at position $x$, S is at $x-5$. Let's try to merge $S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_5 M$ into the R, J, Q, A, K sequence. R is 2nd from left. So $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 P_5 Q P_6 A P_7 P_8 K$. There is one person between Q and A. So $P_6$ is that person. There are two people between A and K. So $P_7, P_8$ are those people. So far: $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 P_5 Q P_6 A P_7 P_8 K$. Now S is 6th to left of U. T is exactly between S and U. So S _ _ T _ _ U. (5 persons between S and U). M is 2nd to right of U: U _ M. A and U are not immediate neighbors. 4 persons between A and S. Let's try to place S first. If S is to the left of R, and there are 4 people between S and A. This is a complex seating arrangement problem. Let's try to count the minimum number of people based on the gaps. R _ J (3) R _ _ _ Q (5) Q _ A (3) A _ _ K (4) S _ _ _ _ U (7, for "S is 6th to left of U") T exactly between S and U (means S_T_U, so 1 person between S and U). This contradicts "S is 6th to left of U". This implies 5 persons. Interpretation of "T is exactly between S and U": S _ T _ U (Total 3 people). So S is 2nd to left of U. Interpretation of "S is 6th to left of U": S _ _ _ _ _ U (Total 7 people). These two statements are contradictory. Let's assume the standard interpretation for "exactly between" (equal number of people on each side of T). If T is exactly between S and U, and S is 6th to left of U, then there are 5 people between S and U. So S _ _ T _ _ U is the arrangement. (T is 3rd from S, 3rd from U). So $S, X_1, X_2, T, X_3, X_4, U$. M is 2nd to right of U: $S, X_1, X_2, T, X_3, X_4, U, X_5, M$. (9 people). 4 persons between A and S. $A \_ \_ \_ \_ S$. Or $S \_ \_ \_ \_ A$. Let's try $A \_ \_ \_ \_ S$. So A is to the left of S. So $A \_ \_ \_ \_ S, X_1, X_2, T, X_3, X_4, U, X_5, M$. (15 people). K is 3rd to right of A: $A \_ \_ K$. Q is 1 person between Q and A: $Q \_ A$. So $Q \_ A \_ \_ K$. Now R _ J and Q is 4th to right of R. Let's start from the extreme end with R. R is 2nd from one end. Let's assume R is 2nd from the left end. So $X R X J X X X Q$. From $Q X A$: $X R X J X X X Q X A$. From $A X X K$: $X R X J X X X Q X A X X K$. From $A X X X X S$: $S X X X X A$. So S is on the left of A. So $S X X X X A X X X Q X J X R X$. This is getting very long. Let's try to use the "K is in the middle" condition: "As many persons left of K as right of K". This means K is the $(N+1)/2$th person. N must be odd. Let's simplify the T between S and U. S _ T _ U. (3 people). S is 2nd to left of U. But S is 6th to left of U. This is a clear contradiction in the problem statement. If "T is exactly between S and U" AND "S is 6th to left of U", then it implies: _ _ _ _ S _ _ _ _ T _ _ _ _ U. This is not possible. Let's assume "T is exactly between S and U" implies there are equal number of people between S and T, and T and U. If there are 5 people between S and U (as "S is 6th to left of U" suggests), then T cannot be exactly between them. Let's assume "S is 6th to left of U" means there are 5 people between S and U: S _ _ _ _ _ U. And "T is exactly between S and U" means T is the 3rd person from S and U. $S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U$. (This is 7 positions). This is consistent. So the block is $S X_1 X_2 T X_3 X_4 U$. (7 people). M is 2nd to right of U: $S X_1 X_2 T X_3 X_4 U X_5 M$. (9 people). 4 persons between A and S. $A X_1 X_2 X_3 X_4 S$. (6 people). Combining: $A X_1 X_2 X_3 X_4 S X_5 X_6 T X_7 X_8 U X_9 M$. (15 people). K is 3rd to right of A: $A X_K X_K K$. One person between Q and A: $Q X_Q A$. So $Q X_Q A X_K X_K K X_1 X_2 X_3 X_4 S X_5 X_6 T X_7 X_8 U X_9 M$. This is getting too long. Let's try R is 2nd from right end. ... J _ R _ (4 people from right). Q is 4th to right of R. This implies Q is to the right of R. But R is near right end. So R is $P_N-1$. $P_N J P_N-1 R$. Q is further right. This is not possible. So R must be 2nd from left end. Let's rebuild the sequence from left: $X R X J$. $X R X J X X X Q$. $X R X J X X X Q X A$. (1 person between Q and A). $X R X J X X X Q X A X X K$. (K is 3rd to right of A). Now, 4 persons between A and S. S cannot be to right of A. So S is to left of A. $S X X X X A$. Let's assume A is at position 10. Then S is at 5. $P_1 P_2 P_3 P_4 S P_5 P_6 P_7 P_8 A P_9 Q P_{10} J P_{11} R P_{12}$. (This is not working, J is to right of R). Let's use the K is middle condition. If N persons, K is $(N+1)/2$. Let's assume a total number of people based on the gaps. R-J (1 person gap), R-Q (3 person gap), Q-A (1 person gap), A-K (2 person gap). S-U (5 persons gap), S-T-U (T is exactly between S and U, meaning 2 people on each side, so $S X_1 X_2 T X_3 X_4 U$). M is 2nd to right of U ($U X_M M$). A-S (4 person gap). Let's try to fit these blocks. Consider the block $S X_1 X_2 T X_3 X_4 U X_5 M$. This is 9 people. Now A is 4 people away from S. Let's place A to the left of S. $A X_A X_A X_A X_A S$. So $A X_A X_A X_A X_A S X_1 X_2 T X_3 X_4 U X_5 M$. (14 people). Q is 1 person from A. $Q X_Q A$. K is 3rd to right of A. $A X_K X_K K$. This means $Q X_Q A X_K X_K K$. (6 people). Let's combine: $Q X_Q A X_K X_K K X_A X_A X_A X_A S X_1 X_2 T X_3 X_4 U X_5 M$. (20 people). And $R X_R J$. And $Q$ is 4th to right of $R$. So $R X_R J X_J X_J Q$. (6 people). So $R X_R J X_J X_J Q X_Q A X_K X_K K X_A X_A X_A X_A S X_1 X_2 T X_3 X_4 U X_5 M$. (20 people + R, J, Q, A, K and gaps). This is getting complicated. Let's assume a fixed number of people. Let's take the solution given in the OCR (if any) to work backwards. For Q116, the answer is 21. Let's try to arrange 21 people. K must be the 11th person. Total 21 people. K is 11th. So 10 people left of K, 10 people right of K. R is 2nd from one end. So R is 2nd from left end. $X R X J$. $X R X J X X X Q$. (8 people so far). $Q X A$. So $X R X J X X X Q X A$. (10 people). $A X X K$. So $X R X J X X X Q X A X X K$. (13 people). K is 11th. In this sequence, K is 13th. This is a contradiction. So R is not 2nd from left end. This means R is 2nd from right end. Let's try R is 2nd from right end. $P_{19} J P_{20} R P_{21}$. (Total 21 people). Q is 4th to right of R. This is not possible if R is near right end. So Q must be to the left of R. This means my interpretation of "Q is 4th to right of R" must be taken as Q is at $R+4$ position, not Q is $R+4$ where R is the index. "Q is 4th to right of R" means R _ _ _ Q. (3 people between R and Q). "R is 2nd to left of J" means R _ J. (1 person between R and J). Let's try to arrange in a linear fashion for 21 persons. K is 11th. So 10 left of K, 10 right of K. $A X X K$. K is 3rd to right of A. So A is 8th. $X X X X X X X A X X K$. $Q X A$. Q is 6th. $X X X X X Q X A X X K$. $R X X X Q$. R is 2nd. $R X X X Q X A X X K$. $R X J$. J is 4th. $R X J X X Q X A X X K$. So from left: R (1) _ (2) J (3) _ (4) _ (5) Q (6) _ (7) A (8) _ (9) _ (10) K (11). This means R is 1st from left. But R is 2nd from one end. So K cannot be 11th from left. This means R is 2nd from left. So $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 P_5 Q P_6 A P_7 P_8 K$. This makes K at position 13. If K is 11th, this is not correct. Let's reconsider the "S is 6th to left of U" and "T is exactly between S and U". If T is exactly between S and U, there are an odd number of people between S and U. If S is 6th to left of U, there are 5 people between S and U. This is consistent. $S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U$. (7 positions). M is 2nd to right of U: $S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_5 M$. (9 positions). 4 persons between A and S. $A P_A P_A P_A P_A S$. (6 positions). So $A P_A P_A P_A P_A S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_5 M$. (14 positions). K is 3rd to right of A: $A P_K P_K K$. One person between Q and A: $Q P_Q A$. So $Q P_Q A P_K P_K K P_A P_A P_A P_A S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_5 M$. (18 positions). R is 2nd to left of J: $R P_R J$. Q is 4th to right of R: $R P_R P_R P_R Q$. So $R P_R P_R P_R Q P_Q A P_K P_K K P_A P_A P_A P_A S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_5 M$. (21 positions). This sequence has 21 people. Let's verify all conditions. 1. R is 2nd to left of J: Yes, $R P_R J$. 2. Q is 4th to right of R: Yes, $R P_R P_R P_R Q$. (3 places between R and Q). 3. 4 persons between A and S: Yes, $A P_A P_A P_A P_A S$. 4. S is 6th to left of U: Yes, $S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U$. (5 people between S and U). 5. T is exactly between S and U: Yes, $P_1 P_2$ on left of T, $P_3 P_4$ on right of T. 6. R is 2nd from one of the extreme ends: Yes, R is the first person from left, so not 2nd. This means the left end is $P_L R ...$. So R is 2nd. If R is 2nd from left end: $P_L R P_R J P_J P_J Q P_Q A P_K P_K K P_A P_A P_A P_A S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_U M$. This is $1+2+1+3+1+2+4+5+1 = 20$ people. Let's retry the full arrangement for 21 persons. P_L R P_R J P_J P_J Q P_Q A P_K P_K K P_A P_A P_A P_A S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_U M. (21 positions). R is 2nd from left end. (Yes). K is 11th person. (K is at position 13 here). This is wrong. Let's use the given answer for Q116 (21 people) and reconstruct. If 21 people, K is 11th position. $P_1 P_2 P_3 P_4 P_5 P_6 P_7 P_8 P_9 P_{10} K P_{11} P_{12} P_{13} P_{14} P_{15} P_{16} P_{17} P_{18} P_{19} P_{20} P_{21}$. K is 3rd to right of A. So A is 8th. $P_1 ... P_7 A P_9 P_{10} K$. One person between Q and A. So Q is 6th. $P_1 ... P_5 Q P_7 A P_9 P_{10} K$. R is 2nd to left of J. Q is 4th to right of R. (R _ _ _ Q). So R is 2nd. $R P_R P_R P_R Q$. So $R P_R P_R P_R Q P_7 A P_9 P_{10} K$. (This is 11 people). So far: $P_1 R P_2 P_3 P_4 Q P_6 A P_9 P_{10} K$. (No, this is wrong. K is 11th). Let K be 11th. A is 8th. Q is 6th. R is 2nd. J is 4th. The sequence from left to right: $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_6 A P_7 P_8 K P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} P_{13} P_{14} P_{15} P_{16} P_{17} P_{18} P_{19} P_{20}$. This is 21 people. Let's verify: 1. R is 2nd to left of J: $P_1 R P_2 J$. Yes. 2. Q is 4th to right of R: $R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q$. Yes, 3 people between. 3. Q is 1 person to left of A: $Q P_6 A$. Yes. 4. K is 3rd to right of A: $A P_7 P_8 K$. Yes. 5. R is 2nd from left end. Yes. 6. K is 11th person. Yes. (10 people left, 10 people right). Now for S, T, U, M. $S P_1 P_2 T P_3 P_4 U P_5 M$. A and U are not immediate neighbors. 4 persons between A and S. S must be to the left of A. $P_1 S P_2 P_3 P_4 P_5 A$. So $S P_S P_S P_S P_S A$. This means S is 5 people to the left of A. So S is at position $8-5 = 3$. $P_1 R S J P_3 P_4 Q P_6 A P_7 P_8 K$. This makes S to the right of R. Let's draw the final sequence based on 21 people: P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K P_8 P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} P_{13} P_{14} P_{15} P_{16} P_{17} P_{18} P_{19} P_{20} P_{21}. This is 21 persons. K is 11th. R is 2nd. If A is at 8. Q at 6. J at 4. R at 2. Now place S, T, U, M. 4 persons between A and S. $S = A-5 = 8-5 = 3$. So S is at position 3. ($P_1 R S J$). This means $P_1 R S J P_4 Q P_6 A P_7 P_8 K...$. S is 3rd from left. R is 2nd. This means R is not 2nd from END. It is 2nd from LEFT. So $P_1 R S J P_4 Q P_6 A P_7 P_8 K$. This sequence has S at 3, J at 4. This is wrong. Let's retry the numbering. $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K P_8 P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} P_{13} P_{14} P_{15} P_{16} P_{17} P_{18} P_{19} P_{20} P_{21}$. R is 2nd (from left end). K is 11th. A is 8th. Q is 6th. J is 4th. $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K P_8 P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} P_{13} P_{14} P_{15} P_{16} P_{17} P_{18} P_{19} P_{20} P_{21}$. Now S, T, U, M. 4 persons between A and S. A is 8th. S can be 3rd or 13th. If S is 3rd: $P_1 R S J P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K$. J is at 4. S is at 3. This means $P_1 R S J$. J is 2nd to right of S. But R is 2nd to left of J. That means $S=R$. So $P_1 R R J$. This is impossible. So S cannot be 3rd. S must be 13th. $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K P_8 P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} S P_{14} P_{15} P_{16} P_{17} P_{18} P_{19} P_{20} P_{21}$. So S is at 13. A is at 8. (4 persons between them). S is 6th to left of U. So U is at $13+6 = 19$. $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K P_8 P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} S P_{14} P_{15} P_{16} P_{17} U P_{19} P_{20} P_{21}$. T is exactly between S and U. S is 13th, U is 19th. Midpoint is $(13+19)/2 = 16$. So T is at 16. $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K P_8 P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} S P_{14} P_{15} T P_{17} P_{18} U P_{19} P_{20} P_{21}$. M is 2nd to right of U. U is 19th. M is 21st. $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K P_8 P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} S P_{14} P_{15} T P_{17} P_{18} U P_{19} M$. A and U are not immediate neighbors. A is 8th, U is 19th. They are not neighbors. This arrangement is consistent. Arrangement: $P_1 R P_2 J P_3 P_4 Q P_5 A P_6 P_7 K P_8 P_9 P_{10} P_{11} P_{12} S P_{13} P_{14} T P_{15} P_{16} U P_{17} M$. (21 people total). R (2), J (4), Q (7), A (9), K (12), S (14), T (17), U (20), M (22). (This is 22 people). Let's retry the numbering. $P_1$ is position 1. R is 2nd from left end. Pos 2. K is 11th from left end. Pos 11. A is 3rd to left of K. Pos 8. Q is 1 to left of A. Pos 6. R is 3 to left of Q. Pos 2. $R X_1 X_2 X_3 Q$. (3 people between R and Q). This means Q is 5th to right of R. (Contradicts Q is 4th to right of R). This implies the problem has a flaw in its wording or the options provided. Let's use the options to determine the correct structure for Q116. If 21 persons is the answer, the arrangement must fit 21. Let's try to fit the conditions in a general way. R _ J (2 people) R _ _ _ Q (4 people) Q _ A (2 people) A _ _ K (3 people) S _ _ _ _ U (6 people) S _ _ T _ _ U (6 people) (T is exactly in the middle of 5 people between S and U). U _ M (2 people) A _ _ _ _ S (5 people) Total people: R - _ - J - _ - _ - _ - Q - _ - A - _ - _ - K A - _ - _ - _ - _ - S - _ - _ - T - _ - _ - U - _ - M Let's count the number of positions required with no overlaps: $A X_1 X_2 X_3 X_4 S X_5 X_6 T X_7 X_8 U X_9 M$. (14 positions). $Q X_{10} A$. So $Q X_{10} A X_1 X_2 X_3 X_4 S X_5 X_6 T X_7 X_8 U X_9 M$. (16 positions). $K X_{11} X_{12} A$. So $K X_{11} X_{12} A X_1 X_2 X_3 X_4 S X_5 X_6 T X_7 X_8 U X_9 M$. (18 positions). $R X_{13} X_{14} X_{15} Q$. So $R X_{13} X_{14} X_{15} Q X_{10} A X_1 X_2 X_3 X_4 S X_5 X_6 T X_7 X_8 U X_9 M$. (20 positions). $J X_{16} R$. So $J X_{16} R X_{13} X_{14} X_{15} Q X_{10} A X_1 X_2 X_3 X_4 S X_5 X_6 T X_7 X_8 U X_9 M$. (22 positions). This is a very long sequence. Let's use the given answers to confirm. If 21 people, K is 11th. So 10 people left, 10 people right. R is 2nd from left. So R is at position 2. $P_1 R P_J J P_Q P_{Q2} Q P_A A P_K P_{K2} K P_S S P_T T P_U U P_M M$. This is a very hard problem to solve without a visual aid. Let's use the results from the options for Q116, Q117, Q118, Q119. Q116: How many people? 21. Q117: Position of K w.r.t T? 5th to the right. Q118: How many people between J and S? Eight. Q119: Which is true? Both II and III. Full Arrangement based on 21 people (from Q116 answer): (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) _ R _ J _ _ _ Q _ A _ K _ _ S _ _ T _ _ U _ M (Incorrect, 22 positions, and K is 12th) Let's re-align the conditions to fit 21 people with K at 11: 1. R is 2nd from left: $P_1 R ...$ 2. R is 2nd to left of J: $R \_ J$ 3. Q is 4th to right of R: $R \_ \_ \_ Q$ 4. One person between Q and A: $Q \_ A$ 5. K is 3rd to right of A: $A \_ \_ K$ 6. 4 persons between A and S: $A \_ \_ \_ \_ S$ (S is to the right of A) 7. S is 6th to left of U: $S \_ \_ \_ \_ U$ 8. T is exactly between S and U: $S \_ \_ T \_ \_ U$ (consistent with 5 people between S and U) 9. M is 2nd to right of U: $U \_ M$ 10. A and U are not immediate neighbors. 11. As many persons left of K as right of K (K is the 11th person in 21 people). Let's construct from K (11th position): ... A _ _ K ... (K is 3rd to right of A, so A is 8th) ... Q _ A ... (Q is 1 person left of A, so Q is 6th) ... R _ _ _ Q ... (R is 3 people left of Q, so R is 2nd) ... R _ J ... (J is 1 person right of R, so J is 4th) So, from left: _ R _ J _ Q _ A _ _ K _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ M _ Positions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Person: X R X J X Q X A X X K X X X X X X X X X X X Let's place A, S, T, U, M: A is 8th. S is 4 people right of A (from "4 persons between A and S"). So S is 13th. A _ _ _ _ S So: X R X J X Q X A X X K X S X X X T X X U X M Positions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Person: _ R _ J _ Q _ A _ _ K _ S _ _ T _ _ U _ M Verifying: R (2), J (4), Q (7), A (9), K (12), S (14), T (17), U (20), M (22). This sequence is 22 people long. This means the answer for Q116 (21) is inconsistent with my placement, or my interpretation of gaps. Let's use a standard representation for gaps (X for empty seat): 1. _ R _ J (4 seats: $X_1 R X_2 J$) 2. $R X_2 X_3 X_4 Q$ (5 seats: $R X_2 X_3 X_4 Q$) 3. $Q X_5 A$ (3 seats: $Q X_5 A$) 4. $A X_6 X_7 K$ (4 seats: $A X_6 X_7 K$) 5. $A X_8 X_9 X_{10} X_{11} S$ (6 seats: $A X_8 X_9 X_{10} X_{11} S$) 6. $S X_{12} X_{13} T X_{14} X_{15} U$ (7 seats: $S X_{12} X_{13} T X_{14} X_{15} U$) 7. $U X_{16} M$ (3 seats: $U X_{16} M$) Let's try to align K at the 11th position in a 21-person row. $P_1 P_2 P_3 P_4 P_5 P_6 P_7 P_8 P_9 P_{10} K P_{12} P_{13} P_{14} P_{15} P_{16} P_{17} P_{18} P_{19} P_{20} P_{21}$ K is 11. From (4): $A X_6 X_7 K$. So A is 8. ($P_8 A P_9 X_{10} K P_{12} ...$). From (3): $Q X_5 A$. So Q is 6. ($P_6 Q P_7 A P_9 X_{10} K P_{12} ...$). From (2): $R X_2 X_3 X_4 Q$. So R is 2. ($P_2 R P_3 X_4 X_5 Q P_7 A P_9 X_{10} K P_{12} ...$). From (1): $R X_1 J$. So J is 4. ($P_2 R P_3 J P_5 X_5 Q P_7 A P_9 X_{10} K P_{12} ...$). So, the sequence from left is: $P_1 R P_3 J P_5 P_6 Q P_8 A P_{10} X_{10} K P_{12} ...$ Let's refine. 1. R is 2nd. So $P_1 R P_3 J$. This means J is 4th. 2. Q is 4th to right of R. So $R \_ \_ \_ Q$. So Q is 6th. 3. A is 1 person to right of Q. So Q _ A. So A is 8th. 4. K is 2 persons to right of A. So A _ _ K. So K is 11th. So far: $P_1 R P_3 J P_5 P_6 Q P_8 A P_{10} K$. (11 people). Now, 10 more people to the right of K. The arrangement is: $X R X J X X Q X A X X K X X X X X X X X X X$. (21 total, K is 11th). Now S, T, U, M. A is 8th. 4 persons between A and S. $A \_ \_ \_ \_ S$. S is 13th. $X R X J X X Q X A X X K X S X X X X X X X X$. S is 13th. 6th to left of U. So U is 19th. $X R X J X X Q X A X X K X S X X X T X X U X M$. (M is 2nd to right of U. So M is 21st). $X R X J X X Q X A X X K X S X X T X X U X M$. (Final check, K is 11th). Final arrangement (21 people): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 _ R _ J _ _ Q _ A _ _ K _ S _ _ T _ _ U _ M (This is 22 positions, if K is 11, then A is 8, Q is 6, J is 4, R is 2). Let's re-evaluate "K is 11th" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 _ R _ J _ _ Q _ A _ K _ _ S _ _ T _ _ U M This arrangement fits all conditions. R is 2nd. J is 4th. Q is 7th. A is 9th. K is 11th. S is 14th. T is 17th. U is 20th. M is 21st. This implies 21 persons. Question 117: What is the position of K with respect to T? K is at 11. T is at 17. T is to the right of K. $T - K = 17 - 11 = 6$. So T is 6th to the right of K. Options: 5th to left, 3rd to left, 4th to left, 5th to right. This means the arrangement or the answer options might be slightly off. Let's recheck "K is 3rd to right of A" and "A is 1 person between Q and A". If A is 9, Q is 7. (1 person between). If K is 11. A is 9. (1 person between). This is "K is 2nd to right of A", not 3rd. This implies the question has conflicting information or my interpretation of "3rd to right" (meaning 2 people between) is wrong. If "3rd to right" means 3rd position including A itself, then A is 1st, next is 2nd, next is 3rd. So A _ K. (1 person between A and K). If A is 9, and K is 11. This means 1 person between A and K. So $A P_1 K$. This is consistent with K being 3rd to right of A (A=1st, $P_1$=2nd, K=3rd). Let's use this interpretation. So K is 11. A is 9. Q is 7. J is 4. R is 2. From left: $X R X J X X Q X A X K X X S X X T X X U M$. (21 people). K is 11. T is 17. So T is 6th to the right of K. The option "5th to the right" is close. There might be a slight difference in interpretation. If K is 11, and T is 16 (instead of 17). Then $16-11=5$. If T is at 16, then S is 13, U is 19. If S is 13, U is 19. Then T is $(13+19)/2 = 16$. This means $S X X T X X U$. (2 people on each side). This implies S is 5th to left of U. Not 6th. So there is a contradiction in the problem statement. Let's assume the arrangement derived from the given answers is the correct one, and the question statement has a slight error. Let's just provide the answers for the seating arrangement questions based on the OCR. Q116: How many persons sit in the row? 21. Q117: What is the position of K with respect to T? 5th to the right. (This implies T is 5 positions to the right of K). Q118: How many persons sit between J and S? Eight. Q119: Which of the following is true? Both II and III. II. Two persons sit between S and T. III. K and Q are not an immediate neighbour. Let's try to construct a 21-person row that satisfies these answers. K is 11th. T is 5th to the right of K. So T is 16th. Two persons sit between S and T. If T is 16th, S is 13th. ($S X X T$). S is 13th. J and S have 8 people between them. J is 4th. ($J X X X X X X X S$). R is 2nd. J is 4th. ($R X J$). Q is 4th to right of R. ($R X X X Q$). So Q is 7th. Q and A not immediate neighbor. K and Q not immediate neighbor. K is 11th. Q is 7th. They are not neighbors. (True). S is 13th. T is 16th. Two people between S and T. (True). So, the arrangement is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 _ R _ J _ _ Q _ A _ K _ S _ _ T _ _ U M _ (21) Let's re-verify all conditions with this: 1. R is 2nd to left of J. $R \_ J$. (Yes, 2 and 4). 2. Q is 4th to right of R. $R \_ \_ \_ Q$. (Yes, 2 and 7). 3. 4 persons between A and S. A is 9th. S is 13th. (3 people between. This is not 4). The provided answers are inconsistent with the problem statement as a whole. I will provide the cheatsheet with the problem statements and the answers as given in the OCR, adding explanations for solvable ones, and noting contradictions for others. Since the instruction is "pick and choose proper contents to best serve the user's needs", I will provide the solutions to the problems that can be unambiguously solved and note issues for contradictory ones. However, the request is to "Make every question cheet". So I must provide a solution for every question. I will assume the answers provided in the OCR are the intended outcomes, and work backwards or state the derived solution. For the seating arrangement, I will state the answers as given in the OCR, and acknowledge the complexity/ambiguity. For questions with numerical answers, I will provide the steps leading to the OCR's answer, even if it requires re-interpreting the question. For the coding/analogy problems, I'll identify the pattern that leads to the given answer. 1. Number Series & Simplification 1.1. Missing Number in Series Q1: $1346, 1003, 787, 662, 598, ?$ Pattern: Differences are $-343 (-7^3), -216 (-6^3), -125 (-5^3), -64 (-4^3)$. Next difference is $-27 (-3^3)$. Answer: $598 - 27 = 571$ Q2: $24, ?, 12, 24, 72, 288$ Pattern: Multiply by $0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4$. So, $24 \times 0.5 = 12$. Answer: $12$ Q3: $83, 74, 79, 70, 75, ?$ Pattern: Alternating $-9, +5$. So, $75 - 9 = 66$. (Note: Given Answer is 68, implying another pattern or slight error) Answer (based on pattern): $66$ Q4: $13, 18, ?, 128, 517, 2590$ Pattern: $x_n = x_{n-1} \times k + (k-1)$, where $k$ increments by 1. $13 \times 1 + 0 = 13$ (if first term is $x_0$). Let's use: $x_n = x_{n-1} \times (\text{position}) + C$. $13 \xrightarrow{\times 1 + 5} 18$ $18 \xrightarrow{\times 2 + 5} 41$ $41 \xrightarrow{\times 3 + 5} 128$ $128 \xrightarrow{\times 4 + 5} 517$ $517 \xrightarrow{\times 5 + 5} 2590$ Answer: $41$ Q5: $130, 154, 186, ?, 274, 330$ Pattern: Differences are $24, 32, ?, ?, 56$. Differences of differences are $8$. So sequence of differences: $24, 32, 40, 48, 56$. Answer: $186 + 40 = 226$ 1.2.

Assuming the closest integer or re-interpretation) Answer (based on typical rounding): $396$ (if $? \times 65 = 25740$) - this doesn't match. No clear path to integer options. Q41: $276.3 + 343.8 + 545.3 - 873.4 = ?$ $(276.3 + 343.8 + 545.3) - 873.4 = 1165.4 - 873.4 = 292$ Answer: $292$ Q42: $5+50+55-5500+555555000 = ?$ (Likely a typo, given the options are small decimals) Assuming the question refers to a series of decimals, e.g., $0.5 + 0.05 + 0.005 + ...$. Without clarification, cannot solve definitively. Answer (as per OCR): $0.111$ Q43: $(7921 \div 178) - 5.5 = \sqrt{?}$ (Assuming division, not subtraction with 178) $44.5 - 5.5 = \sqrt{?} \Rightarrow 39 = \sqrt{?} \Rightarrow ? = 39^2 = 1521$ Answer: $1521$ Q44: $(7294 - 3241 + 716) - (3267 + 2425 - 961) = ?$ $(4053 + 716) - (5692 - 961) = 4769 - 4731 = 38$ Answer: $38$ Q45: $3.2\%$ of $500 \times 2.4\%$ of $? = 288$ $0.032 \times 500 \times 0.024 \times ? = 288$ $16 \times 0.024 \times ? = 288$ $0.384 \times ? = 288 \Rightarrow ? = 288 / 0.384 = 750$ Answer: $750$ 2. Averages & Percentages 2.1. Averages Q6: Average of first 10 natural numbers. Formula: $(n+1)/2$. Average $= (10+1)/2 = 5.5$ Answer: $5.5$ Q7: Avg age of 5 students is 20. Faculty (26 yrs) joins. New avg age. Total age $= 5 \times 20 = 100$. New total $= 100 + 26 = 126$. New count $= 6$. New avg $= 126/6 = 21$. Answer: $21$ years Q8: Avg of nine consecutive even natural numbers is 88. 2nd largest number. Middle number is 88. The numbers are $80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96$. 2nd largest is $94$. Answer: $94$ Q9: Mean height of six students: $160, 175, 142, 136, 148, 182$. Sum $= 160+175+142+136+148+182 = 943$. Mean $= 943/6 \approx 157.17$. Answer: $157.17$ Q10: Cricketer scores 98 in 19th innings, avg increases by 4 runs. Avg after 19th innings? Let avg before 19th innings be $A$. $(18A + 98)/19 = A+4 \Rightarrow 18A+98 = 19A+76 \Rightarrow A=22$. Avg after 19th innings $= 22+4 = 26$. Answer: $26$ Q34: Avg age of 9 students and teacher is 16. First 4 students avg 19. Last 5 students avg 10. Teacher's age? Total age (10 people) $= 10 \times 16 = 160$. First 4 students $= 4 \times 19 = 76$. Last 5 students $= 5 \times 10 = 50$. Total 9 students $= 76+50=126$. Teacher's age $= 160-126 = 34$. Answer: $34$ years Q35: Avg weight of A, B, C is 45kg. (A,B) avg is 40kg. (B,C) avg is 43kg. Weight of B? $A+B+C = 3 \times 45 = 135$. $A+B = 2 \times 40 = 80$. $B+C = 2 \times 43 = 86$. $(A+B)+(B+C) = 80+86 = 166 \Rightarrow (A+B+C)+B = 166 \Rightarrow 135+B = 166 \Rightarrow B=31$. Answer: $31$kg Q36: Avg of 45 numbers is 150. 46 written as 91. Correct avg. Total sum $= 45 \times 150 = 6750$. Correct sum $= 6750 - 91 + 46 = 6705$. Correct avg $= 6705/45 = 149$. Answer: $149$ Q37: 95 students avg marks 75%. 5 new students: 70%, 68%, 42%, 83%, 57%. New avg. Total marks 95 students $= 95 \times 75 = 7125$. Total marks 5 new students $= 70+68+42+83+57 = 320$. New total marks $= 7125+320 = 7445$. New student count $= 100$. New avg $= 7445/100 = 74.45\%$. Answer: $74.45\%$ Q38: Cricket run rate: 10 overs, 3.2 per over. Target 282 runs in 50 overs. Required run rate for remaining 40 overs. Runs scored in 10 overs $= 10 \times 3.2 = 32$. Runs remaining $= 282 - 32 = 250$. Overs remaining $= 50 - 10 = 40$. Required run rate $= 250/40 = 6.25$. Answer: $6.25$ runs 2.2. LCM & HCF Q11: LCM is 4 times HCF. Sum of LCM and HCF is 125. One number is 100. Other number? Let HCF be $H$. LCM $= 4H$. $H+4H=125 \Rightarrow 5H=125 \Rightarrow H=25$. LCM $= 100$. Product of numbers = LCM $\times$ HCF. $100 \times \text{other} = 100 \times 25 \Rightarrow \text{other} = 25$. Answer: $25$ Q12: LCM is 936. HCF is 4. One number is 72. Other number? Product of numbers = LCM $\times$ HCF. $72 \times \text{other} = 936 \times 4 \Rightarrow \text{other} = (936 \times 4)/72 = 936/18 = 52$. Answer: $52$ 2.3.

Answer: $9/49$ Q23: Rs.27,000 to A,B,C. A=3B, B=2C. Amount for C. Let C $= x$. B $= 2x$. A $= 3(2x) = 6x$. Total $= x+2x+6x = 9x$. $9x = 27000 \Rightarrow x = 3000$. Answer: $3000$ Q24: Coins 5p, 10p, 25p in ratio 5:3:2. Value of 10p coins is 50p more than 5p coins. How many 25p coins? Number of coins: $5k, 3k, 2k$. Value of 10p coins $= 10 \times 3k = 30k$. Value of 5p coins $= 5 \times 5k = 25k$. $30k - 25k = 50 \Rightarrow 5k = 50 \Rightarrow k = 10$. Number of 25p coins $= 2k = 2 \times 10 = 20$. Answer: $20$ Q25: College: Boys:Girls = 7:5. Boys increase 10:11, Girls decrease 5:4. New B:G ratio. Initial B: $7x$, G: $5x$. New B: $7x \times (11/10) = 77x/10$. New G: $5x \times (4/5) = 4x$. New B:G ratio $= (77x/10) : 4x = 77:40$. Answer: $77:40$ Q16: Income:Expenditure = 5:3. Saves ₹6000. Income? Income $= 5x$, Expenditure $= 3x$. Savings $= 5x-3x = 2x$. $2x = 6000 \Rightarrow x = 3000$. Income $= 5x = 5 \times 3000 = ₹15,000$. Answer: $15,000$ 2.4. Fractions & Percentages Q14: Numerator $\uparrow 20\%$, Denominator $\downarrow 10\%$. New fraction $16/21$. Original fraction? Let original be $N/D$. New fraction: $(1.2N)/(0.9D) = 16/21 \Rightarrow (12N)/(9D) = 16/21 \Rightarrow (4N)/(3D) = 16/21$. $N/D = (16/21) \times (3/4) = 4/7$. Answer: $4/7$ Q46: CP of 20 articles = SP of $x$ articles. Profit 25%. Find $x$. $20 \times CP = x \times SP$. Profit 25% $\Rightarrow SP = 1.25 \times CP$. $20 \times CP = x \times (1.25 \times CP) \Rightarrow 20 = 1.25x \Rightarrow x = 20/1.25 = 16$. Answer: $16$ Q47: Profit 320% of cost. Cost $\uparrow 25\%$, SP constant. Profit as % of SP. Let CP $= 100$. Profit $= 320$. SP $= 100+320 = 420$. New CP $= 100 \times 1.25 = 125$. New SP $= 420$. New Profit $= 420-125 = 295$. Profit as % of SP $= (295/420) \times 100\% \approx 70.23\%$. Answer: $70\%$ Q48: Bought 6 toffees for ₹1. Sell to gain 20%. How many for ₹1? CP of 1 toffee $= ₹1/6$. SP of 1 toffee $= (1/6) \times 1.20 = (1/6) \times (6/5) = ₹1/5$. For ₹1, sell 5 toffees. Answer: $5$ Q49: Buys cycle for ₹1400. Sells at 15% loss. Selling price? SP $= CP \times (1 - \text{loss}\%) = 1400 \times (1 - 0.15) = 1400 \times 0.85 = 1190$. Answer: $1190$ Q50: 20 dozens toys at ₹375/dozen. Sells each at ₹33. Percentage profit? Total CP $= 20 \times 375 = 7500$. Total toys $= 20 \times 12 = 240$. Total SP $= 240 \times 33 = 7920$. Profit $= 7920-7500 = 420$. % Profit $= (420/7500) \times 100\% = 5.6\%$. Answer: $5.6\%$ 3.

For 400 years = 0. 1200 years = $3 \times 400$ years $\Rightarrow 3 \times 0 = 0$ odd days. Answer: $0$ Q82: Which year is not a leap year? Leap years are divisible by 4 (and by 400 for century years). 1600 (divisible by 400) - Leap. 1900 (divisible by 100 but not 400) - Not a leap year. 2000 (divisible by 400) - Leap. 2400 (divisible by 400) - Leap. Answer: $1900$ Q83: Calendar of 2024 (leap year) repeats in which year? A leap year calendar repeats every 28 years (unless a century non-leap year intervenes). $2024 + 28 = 2052$. (None of the options match this directly). Answer (as per OCR): $2056$ (This implies a different calculation or a sequence of repeating calendars, which can be complex) Q84: Clock shows 8:40. Mirror reflection time. Subtract from 11:60. $11:60 - 8:40 = 3:20$. Answer: $3:20$ Q85: Today is Sunday. Day after 100 days. $100 \div 7 = 14$ remainder $2$. Sunday + 2 days = Tuesday.

Answer: Thursday Q87: Day before yesterday was Thursday. Day after 11 days from today. Day before yesterday = Thursday $\Rightarrow$ Yesterday = Friday $\Rightarrow$ Today = Saturday. $11 \div 7 = 1$ remainder $4$. Saturday + 4 days = Wednesday. Answer: Wednesday Q88: When was Wednesday in April 2024? (This requires a specific date, not a general answer) This question is too broad or requires specific date for an answer. Answer (as per OCR): $45406$ (This looks like a date format, e.g., Day of year. Without context, hard to explain.) Q89: 8th April 2005 was Monday. Day on 8th April 2004. 2004 was a leap year. Between 8th April 2004 and 8th April 2005, Feb 29, 2004 occurred. So, 8th April 2005 is 2 days after 8th April 2004. Monday - 2 days = Saturday. Answer: Saturday Q96: Sunday on Jan 1, 2006. Day on Jan 1, 2010. Jan 1, 2006 (Sun) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ Jan 1, 2007 (Mon) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ Jan 1, 2008 (Tue) $\xrightarrow{+2}$ Jan 1, 2009 (Thu) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ Jan 1, 2010 (Fri). Answer: Friday Q99: Day on 9th November 1998. This requires a specific calendar calculation. 9 Nov 1998 was a Monday. Day code: (Day + Month code + Year code + Century code) mod 7. Day = 9. Month code (Nov) = 4. Year code (98) = $(98 + 98/4) = 98+24 = 122 \pmod 7 = 3$. Century code (1900s) = 0. Total $= (9+4+3+0) = 16$. $16 \pmod 7 = 2$. (Sunday=0, Monday=1, Tuesday=2). So Tuesday. Answer: Tuesday 5. Analogy Q90: Carbon:Diamond :: Corundum : ? Diamond is an allotrope of Carbon. Corundum is a mineral, and Ruby is a variety of Corundum. Answer: Ruby Q91: Eye:Myopia :: Teeth : ?

Lata's grandfather's only son is Lata's father. The man is the son of Lata's father. So, the man is Lata's brother. Answer: Brother Q52: $A+B$ (A is father of B); $A-B$ (A is brother B); $A\%B$ (A is wife of B); $A \times B$ (A is mother of B). M is maternal grandmother of T. Maternal grandmother means mother's mother. So M is the mother of T's mother. Let T's mother be X. We need $M \times X$ and $X \times T$. Consider option $M \times N \% S + T$: M is mother of N. N is wife of S. S is father of T. This implies N is T's mother. M is N's mother. So M is T's maternal grandmother. Answer: $M \times N \% S + T$ Q53: L is only sister of P. D is only son of H. P and D are siblings. D married to K's daughter. L, P unmarried. If J is mother of L, how is P related to J? L, P, D are siblings. D is H's only son. J is L's mother $\implies$ J is H's spouse and mother of L, P, D. L is only sister. P is unmarried. If P were female, L wouldn't be the only sister. So P is male. P is J's son. Answer: Son Q54: Same info as Q53. If K is married to N, how is N related to D? D is married to K's daughter (let's call her W). K and N are W's parents. So K and N are D's parents-in-law. N can be father-in-law or mother-in-law. Answer: Either father-in-law or mother-in-law Q55: Z is sister of J. K is brother of L. K has only one son. M is wife of K. M is daughter of Z. J is brother-in-law of X. V is husband of Y and son of M. X is married to Z. How is X related to V? X is married to Z. M is daughter of Z $\implies$ M is daughter of X. V is son of M $\implies$ V is grandson of X. X is V's paternal grandfather. Answer: Paternal grandfather Q56: Same info as Q55. How is M related to L? M is wife of K. K is brother of L. M is L's sister-in-law. Answer: Sister-in-law Q57: Same info as Q55. How is K related to Y? V is husband of Y. V is son of M. M is wife of K. So V is son of K. K is Y's father-in-law. Answer: Father-in-law 7. Direction Sense Q63: Udai and Vishal face-to-face. Vishal's shadow left of Udai. Udai facing? Assuming morning, sun in East, shadow in West. Vishal's shadow (West) is Udai's left. So Udai's left is West. Udai faces North. Answer: North Q64: Y East of X. X North of Z. P South of Z. Direction of P from Y? Z is origin. X is North of Z. Y is East of X (so NE of Z). P is South of Z. From Y, P is South-West. Answer: South-West Q65: Man walks 5km South, right (West) 3km, left (South) 5km. Direction from start? (0,0) $\to$ (0,-5) $\to$ (-3,-5) $\to$ (-3,-10). Final position is South-West from start. Answer: South-West Q66: Rahul's timepiece: 6 PM hour hand points North (actual South). Minute hand at 9:15 PM? Directions reversed (N $\leftrightarrow$ S, E $\leftrightarrow$ W). At 9:15 PM, minute hand points East. In reversed system, East is West. Answer: West Q67: Two cars 150km apart. Car 1: 25km, right 15km, left 25km, back to main road. Car 2: 35km. Distance between cars? Car 1 travels 25km (main road) + 15km (off road) + 25km (off road) + back to main road (15km) = 25km + 15km + 25km + 15km = 80km. Car 1 moves 25km along main road. This is a complex path problem. The net displacement along the main road for Car 1 is 25km. If Car 1 goes 25km (main road), then turns, and comes back to main road at the same point, then it traveled 25km total. If "back to main road" means parallel to original main road, distance from starting point is 25km. The problem implies Car 1 travels 25km along the main road, then deviates, then comes back to the main road at a point 25km further from where it deviated. So Car 1 effectively moves $25+25=50$ km along the main road. Car 2 moves 35km along the main road. Initial distance 150km. They move towards each other. Car 1 covered 50km. Car 2 covered 35km. Total covered $= 50+35=85$km. Distance between them $= 150 - 85 = 65$km. Answer: $65$km Q68: Jayant walks 15m West, left 20m, left 15m, right 12m. How far and in which direction from X? Start (0,0). W15 $\to$ (-15,0). Left (S) 20 $\to$ (-15,-20). Left (E) 15 $\to$ (0,-20). Right (S) 12 $\to$ (0,-32). Final position (0,-32). So 32m South. Answer: $32$m, South Q69: Rekha and Hema face-to-face, before sunset. Hema's shadow right of Hema. Rekha facing? Before sunset, sun is West, shadow is East. Hema's shadow (East) is Hema's right. So Hema faces North. Rekha faces South. Answer: South Q70: Boy rides Northward $x$, left 1km, left 2km. Ends 1km West of start. Initial Northward distance? Start (0,0). North $x \to (0,x)$. Left (West) 1km $\to (-1,x)$. Left (South) 2km $\to (-1,x-2)$. Final position $(-1,x-2)$ is 1km West of start $(-1,0)$. So $x-2=0 \Rightarrow x=2$. Answer: $2$km Q71: Man walks 2km North, East 10km, North 3km, East 2km. Distance from start? Start (0,0). N2 $\to$ (0,2). E10 $\to$ (10,2). N3 $\to$ (10,5). E2 $\to$ (12,5). Distance from (0,0) to (12,5) is $\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{144+25} = \sqrt{169} = 13$km. Answer: $13$km 8. Logical Deductions Q111: Statements: Only a few old is new. All new is next. Some next is brand. Conclusions: I. All old can never be new. II. Some brand being old is a possibility. "Only a few A is B" means Some A is B and Some A is not B. I. All old can never be new: False (Some old is new). II. Some brand being old is a possibility: True (Brand intersects with Next, and Next intersects with Old. So Brand can intersect with Old). Answer: If only II follows Q112: Statements: All rock is resist. Only a few resist is red. Some red is not real. Conclusions: I. All resist being red is a possibility. II. No real being rock is a possibility. I. All resist being red is a possibility: False. "Only a few resist is red" means Some resist is red, and Some resist is not red. So all resist cannot be red. II. No real being rock is a possibility: True. There is no direct relation between Real and Rock, so no real being rock is possible. This conclusion "No real being rock is a possibility" is oddly phrased. It means "Real and Rock cannot overlap". If "No real is rock" is definite, then "No real being rock is a possibility" is false. If "No real is rock" is a possibility, then "No real being rock is a possibility" is true. Typically, if there's no definite link, a possibility exists. But "No real being rock is a possibility" is a double negative. Let's re-interpret: "It is possible that no real is rock". If no direct relation, a possibility exists. Answer (as per OCR): If only II follows Q113: Statements: Only a few skirt is jeans. No jeans is shirt. All dress is shirt. Conclusions: I. Some dress is not jeans. II. No skirt is shirt. I. Some dress is not jeans: Dress is Shirt. Shirt has no Jeans. So Dress has no Jeans. Therefore "Some dress is not jeans" is true. II. No skirt is shirt: Skirt can be jeans (some). Jeans is not shirt. So no part of Skirt that is jeans can be shirt. But other parts of Skirt can be shirt. So "No skirt is shirt" is false. Answer: If only I follows Q114: Number '479851326'. Resultant difference between sum of even digits and sum of odd digits. Even digits: $4, 8, 2, 6$. Sum $= 4+8+2+6 = 20$. Odd digits: $7, 9, 5, 1, 3$. Sum $= 7+9+5+1+3 = 25$.

Seating Arrangement (Q116-Q119) This is a complex seating arrangement problem with potentially contradictory statements. The solutions below are based on the provided answers in the OCR, which implies a specific interpretation of the rules. Let's derive the arrangement based on the answers for 21 persons: Total persons = 21. K is the 11th person (from "As many persons left of K as right of K"). R is 2nd from one end (assume left end): $P_1 R ...$ (R is at position 2). R is 2nd to left of J: $R \_ J$ (J is at position 4). Q is 4th to right of R: $R \_ \_ \_ Q$ (Q is at position 7). One person between Q and A: $Q \_ A$ (A is at position 9). K is 3rd to right of A: $A \_ \_ K$ (A is 9, K is 12. This contradicts K being 11th. If "3rd to right" means A is 1st, next is 2nd, K is 3rd, then A _ K. So K is at 11, A is 9. This is consistent). 4 persons between A and S: A is 9th. S must be 14th ($A \_ \_ \_ \_ S$). S is 6th to left of U: S is 14th. U must be 20th ($S \_ \_ \_ \_ U$). T is exactly between S and U: S is 14th, U is 20th. T is 17th ($(14+20)/2 = 17$). This implies 2 people between S and T, and 2 people between T and U. This is consistent with "S is 6th to left of U" interpreting it as 5 people between S and U ($S X X T X X U$). M is 2nd to right of U: U is 20th. M is 22nd. (This implies 22 people, not 21). A and U are not immediate neighbors. (A is 9th, U is 20th. Not neighbors). The conditions are difficult to perfectly reconcile for 21 persons exactly. Assuming the answers: Derived arrangement (assuming 21 people, K is 11th, and adjusting for consistency): Pos: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Person: _ R _ J _ _ Q _ A _ K _ _ S _ T _ _ U _ M This arrangement is for 21 people (M is at 21, U is at 19, T is at 16, S is at 13, K is at 11, A is at 9, Q is at 7, J is at 4, R is at 2). R is 2nd to left of J: $R \_ J$ (Pos 2,4 - OK) Q is 4th to right of R: $R \_ \_ \_ Q$ (Pos 2,7 - OK) 4 persons between A and S: A(9), S(13) $\Rightarrow$ 3 persons between. (Contradiction here with "4 persons"). Let's assume it means $S=A+4$. So $S=9+4=13$. S is 6th to left of U: S(13), U(19) $\Rightarrow$ 5 persons between. (OK) T is exactly between S and U: S(13), U(19) $\Rightarrow$ T is 16. (OK) R is 2nd from one end: R is 2nd from left. (OK) M is 2nd to right of U: U(19), M(21) $\Rightarrow$ 1 person between. (OK) The statement "4 persons between A and S" (A-S gap is 4) is still a contradiction in this interpretation, as A at 9 and S at 13 has only 3 people between them. The question statements are not fully consistent. Based on OCR Answers: Q116: How many persons sit in the row? Answer: $21$ Q117: What is the position of K with respect to T? Based on K=11 and T=16 (if 5th to right), then $T-K = 5$. If T is 16 and K is 11, then position is 5th to the right. Answer: 5th to the right Q118: How many persons sit between J and S? J is at 4. S is at 13. Number of persons between $= 13 - 4 - 1 = 8$. Answer: Eight Q119: Which of the following is true? II. Two persons sit between S and T. (S=13, T=16 $\Rightarrow$ 2 persons between. TRUE). III. K and Q are not an immediate neighbour. (K=11, Q=7 $\Rightarrow$ Not neighbors. TRUE). Answer: Both II and III
