Explanation:(1-5)
(6-7)
6) (D) M ≥ R>F=L. So, R>L. Hence, conclusion I is not true. Even, the Conclusion II is not true.
7) (C) T < J ≥ V= W Either I or II follows.
8) (D) J ≥ D ≤ L = N Both the conclusions are not true
9) (A) R ≤ M < H ≤ F. Hence, R< F. Conclusion I is true. As M< F conclusion II is not true.
10) (D) K ≤ H < I > F. As K< I, conclusion I is not true. H and F can't be compared. Hence, conclusion II is not true

Answer of 8 should be C not D. If I am wrong then please explain?
ReplyDeleteNo ans is neither nor
Delete1st and 2nd Conclusions are not related...
see rules from
www.dreamjobadda.com/2014/09/reasoning-coded-inequalities-topic-explained.html

DeleteNo Vivek, Answer is D itself check the rules again... If you still having doubt then post it here I will clarify it.
DeleteD ayega jab
DeleteHi DJA, i rhave a doubt regarding first question. If we interchange the position of X and T we get different answer but i think the answer is right.
DeleteThere is no need to consider X and T to answer 1st question right...
DeleteAnd why do you want to interchange them anyway?
Thank u for yo reply and questions. Its really helpful
Deleteyou are welcome
DeleteThen, 7th conclusion also not related. Please explain further for the 7th question. It is better if u explain the either concept further.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
question got slight mistake corrected now
Deleteanswer 7 should be D it cannot be C as T=V=W as relationship cannot be estb b/w T&W or W&T
DeleteHow did you get T = V = W?
Deleteplz explain how this arrangment is made
ReplyDeletePlz explain me this arrangement when some people facing centre and some not , then how to arrange clock and antivlock wise direction? Plz explain me ... Plz reply soon plzzz
ReplyDeleteHi Pooja,
DeleteThanks for commenting your doubt...
Remember these two points
1. For every puzzle or seating arrangement there will be a staring point but that may not be in the starting lines of question, some at the last lines or middle of given question.
2. You have to take a guess or hunch at some point based on the given question to continue. If you won't take chance like that you can't continue because most of the questions are framed like that.
I will post a photo of explanation here in an hour please refer to that...
Hi again Pooja,
DeleteExplanation was posted above please check it...
please send the explanation .... i have
Deletea doubt how you can decide v is center faced ?
What if i choose vice versa position of t and x as you assumed their position ?
DeleteExcellent explanation......keep it up
ReplyDeleteThank you Abhi
Deletesimple one...
ReplyDeleteSimplest Question.....
ReplyDeleteexplaination not visible
ReplyDeleteClick on the photo you can see it then...
DeleteAwesome :)
ReplyDeletehow did you fix the position of w?
ReplyDeletePlease see the explanation pic
DeleteI did all correct except 7th one....nw pretty clear !!! Thank u ......
ReplyDeleteKeep Up the good work Shivaraj
DeleteStill I am confused regarding direction,pls explain the arrangements
ReplyDeletehow you are decididng who is facing centre and not.there is only one clue for that? pls explain,
ReplyDeleteI'm not deciding who is facing center. If you read the question clearly till "U Who is facing center" you will get the correct positions try it again
DeleteIn question no.10,
ReplyDeleteConclusion 1 "K $ I" is true.
Conclusion 2 "H % F" is can't be compare.
So, the answer must be option A. If only conclusion I is true.
Hi Dinesh,
DeleteHow can you say 1st conclusion is true
As per question we get
K < I is correction but in conclusion they asked K ≤ I
How can these two are same?
Thanks for the trick
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome Avinash
DeleteAm not able to solve quest 7
ReplyDeleteWhy, what is the problem?
DeleteHow u can say Z facing inside
ReplyDeleteS and V's direction are in doubt...if S is not facing towards centre then how can be it 2nd to the right of Y (as given in 1 of the questions answer)
ReplyDeletePlzz clear the doubt...
how is the ans of 5 E? Please explain.
ReplyDeletehow is ans of 6 D plz explain.
ReplyDeleteHi Anjali,
DeletePlease see the explanation given below the Answers you will find the solution...
Hi there,
ReplyDeletein the first puzzle the question says that four are not facing centre which means there can be two three or five or six facing the centre..How did you assume that 4 are facing inwards and four are facing outwards.....and how did the direction of Y or S was calculated
Hi Ashray,
DeleteDon't understand the given question in too complicated way. In these type of questions if they mentioned 4 are not facing center just take that remaining are facing in opposite direction ok. I hope you got the point.
am getting different answer for this but that also satisfies all the condition...
ReplyDeletei get different answer but it also satisfy all the conditions given in the question....
