Answers & Solutions:

Answer & Solutions (1 – 4):

Draw a table with names of the people in rows and names of trains and destinations in columns.
From (2), we can say that Abhi’s train, Howrah Express and the train to Mumbai are different.
Similarly, from (6), we can say that Abhi’s train, Rajdhani Express and the train to Hyderabad are different.
From (5) and (9), we know the train and the destination of Bablu and Dubey respectively => Bablu is in Shatabdi Express and Dubey is going to Bangalore.
From (7) and (10), we know that Shatabdi Express, in which Bablu is travelling, is going to Kolkata.
Abhi is not going to Mumbai and Hyderabad according to (2) and (6) => Abhi is going to Delhi.
Abhi is not going in Rajdhani Express and Howrah Express according to (2) and (6) => Abhi must go in either AP Express or Duronto Express.
According to (8), AP Express does not go to Delhi => Abhi is travelling in Duronto Express to Delhi.
=> Chintu is travelling in AP Express.
Rajdhani does not go to Mumbai, Kolkata or Hyderabad => Dubey is travelling in Rajdhani Express to Bangalore.
Howrah Express does not go to Mumbai => Eisha is travelling in Howrah Express to Hyderabad.
=> Chintu is travelling in AP Express to Mumbai.

1) Answer (A)

2) Answer (D)

3) Answer (B)

4) Answer (C)

Answers & Solutions (5 – 8)

There are 4 subjects taken 2 at a time. Hence, number of combinations = 4 C 2 = 6. In these six cases, each subject appears in 3 cases.

From the first statement, we can infer that the subjects that are present in common are Physics and Chemistry. As F is present on both lists, F has both Physics and Chemistry. We know that C has taken Physics. Therefore, Physics is common between C, D and F and Chemistry is common between A, E and F. As we have assigned Physics and Chemistry 3 times each, none of the other people has either of these two subjects. Hence,

B has neither Physics nor Chemistry => which means that B has Maths and Economics. From Clue C, A has Maths. As A has Chemistry and Maths, D must have Physics and Economics from clue B. The only combination left of Physics and another subject is Physics and Maths which must be taken by C. Hence, E has Chemistry and Economics.
