Here we are providing new series of Reasoning Questions for upcoming exams, so the aspirants can practice it on a daily basis.
Study the following information carefully and answer the below questions:
There are eight persons; they sit in each line such that the person sitting in line 1 sits at the same position in line 2. Their names are consecutive alphabets but not necessarily in the same order. All of them are facing north direction.
In line 1: Distance between second and first person is a multiple of 11m and increasing consecutively from left to right.
In line 2: Distance between second and first person is a multiple of 13m and increasing consecutively from left to right.
The distance between K and M is not even numbered value in line 1 but both the persons are immediate neighbours. N is not an immediate neighbour of K. Persons name with Consecutive alphabets does not sit together. All the person position in line 1 is same as in line 2. In line 1, the sum of the distance between N and I and the distance between O and J is same as between K and M. N sits third to the right of O. The length of line 1 is smaller than line 2. The distance between P and I in line 1 is same as the sum of the distance between J and O and the distance between N and I in line 2. Two persons sit between N and M.

D.15 m
E.10 m
5) Who among the following person sits to the immediate right of N?
A.P
B.M
C.K
D.I
E.L
Explanation
We know that,
The length of Line 1 is 462
Distance between 2nd and 1st person is multiple of 11 and consecutive number from left to right.
The total person is 8-1=7, which is the number of different distance in a line.
The centre of the two person distance is 462/7=66
Or another way,
X+X+11+X+22+X+33+X+44+X+55+X+66=462
7X+231=462
X=33
(i) The distance between K and M is not even numbered value in line 1 but both the persons are sitting immediate neighbours.
(ii) N is not an immediate neighbour K. Consecutive alphabet persons not sit together.
(iii) All the person position in line 1 is same as in line 2.
(iv) In line 1, the sum of the distance between N and I and the distance between O and J is same as between K and M.
(v) N sits third to the right of O.
JO+NI=KM
So, KM distance value is 99m, there is no another way.
(vi) The length of the line 1 is smaller than line 2.
(vii) The distance between P and I in line 1 is same as the sum of the distance between J and O and the distance between N and I in line 2.
(viii) Two persons sit between N and M.
Case (ii) and (iv): does not follow the condition (viii).
Case (iii): does not follow condition (vii) and (vi), because the length of line 1 is smaller than line 2.
- And PI (line 1)=JO+NI (line 2).
- The numbers of persons sit between J and N is 3.
- So, we get, OJ=X, LO=X+13, IL=X+26, NI=X+39.
- Distance between OJ=X; and NI=X+39
- So, we get, 143=X+X+39
X=52.
The distance of P and I is 143,
X+X+13+X+26+X+39+X+52+X+65+X+78
52+65+78+91+104+117+130=637m
1) Answer: D
2) Answer: E
3) Answer: B
4) Answer: E
5) Answer: A
