Answers & Solutions:
Solutions for (1 to 4):
From statement 2, 3 and 4 we have the following three possibilities,
But from statement 5 we can rule out the first two possibilities and only third possibility is left. Hence we have the following arrangement that is known to us
Answers for (1 to 4)
1) Answer (C)
Hence we cannot determine the country for any person.
2) Answer (D)
From this arrangement we can see that G can only be from South Africa. Hence F must belong to New Zealand.
3) Answer (D)
From this arrangement, we can see that D can be seated either between E and B or at English President’s position or between F and English president. So we cannot determine the neighbors of D.
4) Answer (B)
From the information in the previous questions we know that G belongs to South Africa and F belongs to New Zealand, so Indian president must be sitting between E and B.
So Statement 2 is definitely true. Statement 1 and 3 need not be true in all cases. So option b is the correct answer.
