Each of the five managers was asked to rank the room preferences amongst the rooms 301, 302, 303, 304 and 305. Their preferences were recorded as follows:
Table:

Some managers did not indicate any preference for some rooms, as they did want to be there under any condition. The company decided to allot rooms to managers in such a way that the managers get rooms as per their best preference or close to that.

Words : SHE AND TWO WIT GUM

If all the letters in each of the words are arranged in alphabetical order, then

= EHS , ADN , OTW , ITW , GMU

Thus, none of the words will remain unchanged.

=> Ans – (E)

Word – ‘PROACTIVE’

If each of the alphabet is arranged in alphabetical order = ACEIOPRTV

Thus, position of none of the alphabets will remain unchanged.

=> Ans – (A)

Q is sitting third to the left of W and two persons are sitting between Q and P, => P is sitting 3rd to the left of Q.

R is sitting second to the left of S and S is not an immediate neighbour of W, => R sits to the immediate right of W and S sits to the immediate right of P.

T and U are immediate neighbours of each other and only one person is sitting between U and V, => T sits to the immediate left of W and U sits between T and Q. Thus, the vacant spot is taken by V, i.e. to the immediate left of Q.

If all the persons are asked to sit in a clockwise direction in an alphabetical order starting from P, the position of only V will remain unchanged.

=> Ans – (E)

Correct order in descending order :

= Annual (1 year) -> Bi­annual (6 months) -> Monthly (30 days) -> Fortnightly (15 days) -> Weekly (7 days)

$\equiv$ 5, 2, 4, 3, 1

=> Ans – (D)

As per the order of dictionary :

= Perk -> Pick -> Pile -> Pith -> Pour

$\equiv$ 4, 1, 3, 2, 5

=> Ans – (B)

option C will mean: SYMBOLIC. this is only option that makes sense. therefore the correct answer is option C.

Let the first number be $2x$

=> Second number = $x$

and third number = $4x$

Average of these numbers = $\frac{2x + x + 4x}{3} = 56$

=> $x = \frac{56 * 3}{7} = 24$

Numbers are = 2*24 , 24 , 4*24

= 48 , 24 , 96

his home{H} is 1km east from his school{S}. the correct answer is option D.

We can clearly make out from the given table that there are 8  schools in the list which have single digit rankings on at least 3 of the 4 parameters.

We have to consider the ranking of that state that doesn’t change throughout or changes only once.

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.

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

The ranking list would be in the order A, B, C, D……., X, Y, Z. Now the A wins all his 25 matches, B wins 24 matches and lost to A. C wins 23 matches and lost to A and B. In this way N 12 matches and looses 13 matches to A,B,C,D….,M

Chatur is taller than only two persons => Chatur is third tallest.
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.

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.
