The rankings of the states are as follows:

So, the states West Bengal, Tamil Nau, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh do not change their rankings more than once. There are 5 states in total under the criteria.

11) Answer (B)

Ranking of UP changed 2 times which is highest among other states.

Exactly one person is taller than Dileep => Dileep is second tallest.
Amar is taller than none of the other friends => Amar is shortest.
Bablu is the older than only Eisha => Bablu is second youngest and Eisha is youngest.
The youngest is not the tallest => Eisha is fourth tallest and Bablu is tallest.
Amar is older than only Bablu and Eisha => Amar is third youngest.
Chatur is older than Dileep => Chatur is oldest and Dileep is second oldest.
Dileep is 2nd in both height and age.

14) Answer (C)

From the table, we can see that room no. 302 is preferred by 3 managers. Hence, company will allocate room no. 302 to anyone of three managers namely M1, M2 and M4. Remaining two managers won’t able to get their best preference. The remaining two manager will get their second preference as shown in the table below,

Hence, the minimum sum = 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 7. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

15) Answer (E)

 

From the table, we can see that 2 managers have preferred room no 301 and same is true for room no. 302. Hence, only one out of the two manager will get his/her preferred choice as room no. 301. The same is true for room no 302. Room no. 303 will be be straightaway allocated to M3. 302 can allocated to M4 and 301 can be allocated to M6. Then 304 and 305 can be allocated to M1 and M5 respectively.

Hence, the minimum sum of the preference ranking allotted to all five managers = 1+1+1+3+3 = 9. Hence, option E is the correct answer.
