SOLUTIONS TO ANALYTICAL REASONING

SOLUTION TO 41: Let the position of the shirts be as follows:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (from bottom to top in ascending

order of numbers)

It is given that Wills is 5thfrom top and Izod is 3rdfrom bottom, i.e. Wills is at 4 and

Izod is at 3.

Arrow is immediately above Levis. Also there are 3 shirts between Levis and Blackberry.

This situation can be seen in two cases as:

CASE 1: 1 Blackberry Izod Wills 5 Levis Arrow 8

CASE 2: Blackberry 2 Wills Izod Levis Arrow 7 8

CASE 3: Levis Arrow Izod Wills Blackberry 6 7 8If Levis is 3rdfrom top, the situation is of CASE1, then Provogue can be at 1st, 5thor 8th

position from bottom or 1st, 4thor 8thposition from top. Hence, (d)

SOLUTION TO 42:If Levis is first from bottom , then CASE 3(above) is the situation.

CASE 3: Levis Arrow Izod Wills Blackberry 6 7 8

Shirts starting with same alphabets are not kept together, so Provogue and Peter

England can be at 6 or 8 in any order. This means, Lee is at 7. Hence (b)

SOLUTION TO 43:From statements (a) and (b) we dont get unique arrangement. But if

Lee shirt is placed exactly below two shirts, then Case 3 is the situation. Also, since

Provogue is immediately above it, we get unique arrangement as follows-Levis Arrow Izad Wills Blackberry Lee Provogue Peter England

Hence, (c)

SOLUTION TO 44:Parul is next to Sonu and Tonu is not next to Sonu. Radha is on

extreme left and next to Kiran who is not next to Tonu. Thus arrangement is:

Radha Kiran Sonu Parul Tonu

Hence, (a)

SOLUTION TO 45:If the group of size 4 consists of Prashant, Sohail, Dhiraj and Viswjit

then two more groups of size 3 and size 2 can be formed. From option (a), if Ashwini

and Nitin form group of size 2, then size 3 will consist of Sonu with Dilip which is not

possible. Option(b) is not possible as size 3 will consist of Dilip and Ashwini which is

not possible. Option(c) is possible. Hence, (c)
