6) Answer (E)
A lives on 3rd floor.
E lives on a floor above G whereas G lives on a floor above I.
Thus, E lives on 3rd floor, G lives on 2nd floor and I lives on 1st floor.
C and B live on the same floor
Already 2 people live on 3rd floor. Thus, B and C either live on 2nd or 1st floor.
F live in 1A and already I lives on 1st floor.
Thus, B and C must live on 2nd floor.
Thus, F and I live on 1st floor, B, C and G live on 2nd floor and A, E live on 3rd floor.
D and H live in 1st and 3rd floor in any order.
Thus, the table is:-
We cannot determine who lives in a B house without any further information.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.
7) Answer (D)
A lives on 3rd floor.
E lives on a floor above G whereas G lives on a floor above I.
Thus, E lives on 3rd floor, G lives on 2nd floor and I lives on 1st floor.
C and B live on the same floor
Already 2 people live on 3rd floor. Thus, B and C either live on 2nd or 1st floor.
F live in 1A and already I lives on 1st floor.
Thus, B and C must live on 2nd floor.
Thus, F and I live on 1st floor, B, C and G live on 2nd floor and A, E live on 3rd floor.
D and H live in 1st and 3rd floor in any order.
Thus, the table is:-
Thus, if H and I have the same lettered house then they must live on different floors.
Thus, H lives on 3rd floor.
Thus, D must live on 1st floor and more particularly in 1B.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
8) Answer (B)
A lives on 3rd floor.
E lives on a floor above G whereas G lives on a floor above I.
Thus, E lives on 3rd floor, G lives on 2nd floor and I lives on 1st floor.
C and B live on the same floor
Already 2 people live on 3rd floor. Thus, B and C either live on 2nd or 1st floor.
F live in 1A and already I lives on 1st floor.
Thus, B and C must live on 2nd floor.
Thus, F and I live on 1st floor, B, C and G live on 2nd floor and A, E live on 3rd floor.
D and H live in 1st and 3rd floor in any order.
Thus, the table is:-
Thus, we can determine the floor on which a person lives for 7 people.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
9) Answer (C)
The number of friends with more car then Conan is the same as the number of people with less cars than him.
Thus, Conan has 4 cars.
The number of cars with Divya is a perfect square. Thus, Divya has either 1 or 4 cars.
But, Conan has 4 cars. Thus, Divya has 1 cars.
The number of cars with Esha is an even number less than 6.
Thus, Esha has 2 cars.
The number of cars with Abhay is a prime number.
Thus, Abhay has 3, 5 or 7 cars.
The number of cars with Fawad is the average of the number of cars with Abhay and Divya.
Thus, the number of cars with Fawad can be 3 or 4.
But, Conan has 4 cars. Thus, Fawad has 3 cars.
Abhay has 5 cars.
The number of cars with Bhushan is more than the number of cars with Gillespi
Thus, Bhushan has 7 cars and Gillespi has 6 cars.
Abhay has 5 cars. Thus, we can say that 2 people have more number of cars than Abhay.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
10) Answer (C)
The number of friends with more car then Conan is the same as the number of people with less cars than him.
Thus, Conan has 4 cars.
The number of cars with Divya is a perfect square. Thus, Divya has either 1 or 4 cars.
But, Conan has 4 cars. Thus, Divya has 1 cars.
The number of cars with Esha is an even number less than 6.
Thus, Esha has 2 cars.
The number of cars with Abhay is a prime number.
Thus, Abhay has 3, 5 or 7 cars.
The number of cars with Fawad is the average of the number of cars with Abhay and Divya.
Thus, the number of cars with Fawad can be 3 or 4.
But, Conan has 4 cars. Thus, Fawad has 3 cars.
Abhay has 5 cars.
The number of cars with Bhushan is more than the number of cars with Gillespi

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
12) Answer (E)
From the diagram, we can see that all batsmen being all rounder is a possibility and some wicket keepers can be all rounders.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.
13) Answer (A)
From the diagram, we can see that all blades can be stainless and all pins can be stainless
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
14) Answer (E)
From the diagram, we can see that some cones can be spheres. Hence, conclusion I doesn’t follow.
From the diagram, we can see that some cubes can be cones. Hence, conclusion II doesn’t follow.
Therefore, option E is the correct answer.
15) Answer (B)
From the diagram, we can see that no carrot is a tomato. Hence, conclusion I doesn’t follow.
From the diagram, we can see that some all radishes can be carrots. Hence, conclusion II follows.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
16) Answer (A)
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{2} – T _{1} = 4 – 2 = 2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{3} – T _{2} = 7 – 4 = 3$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{4} – T _{3} = 11 – 7 = 4$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{5} – T _{4} = 16 – 11 = 5$
Here we can see the pattern that difference between consecutive terms are in A.P. and it is increasing by 1. Therefore,
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{6} = 6 + T _{5} = 6+16 = 22$
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
17) Answer (C)
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{1} = 9 = 5^2 – 4^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{2} = 27 = 6^2 – 3^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{3} = 45 = 7^2 – 2^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{4} = 63 = 8^2 – 1^2$
Hence, we can say that $\Rightarrow$ $T_{n} = (n+4)^2 – (5-n)^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{5} = (5+4)^2 – (5-4)^2 = 81$
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
18) Answer (D)
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{1} = 3 = 2^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{2} = 8 = 3^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{3} = 15 = 4^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{4} = 24 = 5^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{5} = 35 = 6^2 – 1$
Hence, we can say that $\Rightarrow$ $T_{n} = (n+1)^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{6} = (6+1)^2 – 1 = 48$
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
19) Answer (E)
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{1} = -3 = 1^3 – 2^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{2} = -1 = 2^3 – 3^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{3} = 11 = 3^3 – 4^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{4} = 39 = 4^3 – 5^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{5} = 89 = 5^3 – 6^2$
Hence, we can say that $\Rightarrow$ $T_{n} = n^3 – (n+1)^2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{6} = 6^3 – 7^2 = 167$
Hence, option E is the correct answer.
20) Answer (B)
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{1} = 9 = 2^2 + 5$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{2} = 12 = 2^3 + 4$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{3} = 19 = 2^4 + 3$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{4} = 34 = 2^5 + 2$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{5} = 65 = 2^6 + 1$
Hence, we can say that $\Rightarrow$ $T_{n} = 2^{n+1} + (6 -n)$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{6} = 2^{6+1} + (6 – 6) = 128$
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
