I the up o i g Pro Ka addi League, Telugu Tiata s has a eight pla er tea consisting of S, T,
U, V, W, X, Y, Z. The team is to play two matches in the tournament. The players are divided into
two groups for each match: Raiders and Defenders each consisting of Four players. After the first
match, some of the players are interchanged from Raiders to Defenders and vice versa, such that
the number of players in each group remains the same. The groups are formed with the following
instructions:
a) For the first match, Y cannot be the same group as Z
b) For the second match, both Y and Z must be the raiders.
c) For each of the two matches, if S is a defender, V must also be a defender.
d) For each of the two matches, U and W must be in the same group.
1. Which of the following could be the raiders for the first match?
a) S, T, U and X
b) S, V, W and X
c) T, U, X and Y
d) S, T, X and Z
e) T, U, V and W
2. If E is a raider for the second match, which of the following must be the defenders in that
match?
a) S, T, U and X
b) S, T, V and X
c) T, U, V and X
d) T, U, X and Z
e) None of these
3. If for each match, X is in a different group from Y, X must be in a group with which of the
following exactly one match?
a) S
b) T

c) V
d) Z
e) None of these
4. If U is a defender for the first match, which of the following must be the raider for that match?
a) S
b) T
c) V
d) Z
e) W
5. If exactly two players change the groups at the end of the first match, those two players could
be which of the following?
a) T & V
b) T & X
c) Y & Z
d) V & Z
e) V & W
Solutions:
1. D)
Using statement d, options 1, 2, 3 can be eliminated because U & W have to be in the same group in
both the rounds. Using statement c, option 5 can be eliminated because, if S is not among the
raiders, he must be a defender. Therefore, V also has to a defender
2. B)
If W is a raider in the match, then U must also be the raider in that match. Also Y and Z must also be
the raiders in the second match. Therefore S, T, V and X must be defenders in the second match
3. D)
Y and Z must be in the same group for second match. However, they must be in different groups for
first match. As mentioned in the question, in both the matches S and X must be in the different
groups. Therefore, X and Z must be in the same group exactly one of the matches.
4. A)

If U is the defender for the first match, W must also be the defender for the first match. Now, Y and
Z must be in different groups for this match, which means exactly 3 of the 4 persons are filled for
defenders, leaving only one seat. Now S and V, together cannot be in Defenders group. Hence S
certainly has to be a raider for this match.
5. D)
Exactly one of Y and Z will have to change their group. Among the given options only V and Z could
be the pair.

Six personsL, M, N, O, P and Rare sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre in a
hotel. They ordered different items like Juice, Shake, Ice cream, Fruits, Patties and Pastries for
their breakfast, not necessarily in the same order. Each of them wears a shirt of a different brand,
viz Levis, Woodland, Lee, Mufti, Raymond and UCB, not necessarily according to the order given.
(i) The persons who ordered Juice, Ice cream, and Pastries are wearing neither Levis nor Woodland
shirts.
(ii) The persons in Lee and Raymond shirts have ordered neither Juice nor Ice cream.
(iii) L is not wearing a Levis shirt and is not on the immediate left of the person who has ordered
Fruits.
(iv) The only person who is sitting between P and R likes Shake. The person who is on the left side
of the person in Levis shirt does not eat Patties.
(v) O ordered Fruits and he is wearing Lee shirt. He is facing the person who has ordered Shake.
(vi) The one who has ordered Juice is sitting opposite the person in UCB shirt while the person in
Lee shirt is on the left side of the person who ordered Pastries.
(vii) The one who ordered Patties is on the immediate right of the person in Levis shirt but on the
immediate left of the person who ordered for Ice cream.
(viii) N has not ordered Ice cream while R has not ordered Juice.
1. Who among the following is wearing Levis shirt?

b) M
c) N
d) P
e) None of these
2. The only person who is sitting between P and O is wearing the shirt of which of the following

e) None of these
5. The person who ordered Patties is wearing the shirt of which of the following brands?
a) Mufti
b) Raymond
c) UCB
d) Woodland
e) None of these
Solutions:
O orders Fruits and wears Lee shirts. The person opposite O orders Shake.

Now, the persons wearing Levis and Woodland do not order Juice, Ice cream, Pastries or Fruits. So,
they order Shake or Patties. But one who orders Patties is on the immediate right of the person
wearing Levis shirt. So, the person wearing Levis shirt orders Shake while the person who orders
Patties wears Woodland shirt and is sitting on the right of the person in Levis shirt.
Now, the person who orders Patties is on the immediate left of the person who orders Ice cream.
Clearly, using (vi), the person on the left of the person in Levis shirt orders Juice. But he is sitting
opposite the person wearing UCB shirt. So the person who orders Ice cream wears UCB shirt. Now,
the person who orders Juice must be wearing either Raymond or Mufti. But the person in Raymond
shirt does not order Juice. So, he wears Mufti. The person who orders Pastries wears Raymond shirt.
R orders Patties and wears Woodland shirt. M orders Ice cream and wears UCB shirt.
