 <\/p>\n

Answers & Solutions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is given in the statements, that C cannot travel with A or B. E cannot travel with B or F. G cannot travel with F, or H, or D. By formulating the table we get<\/p>\n


\nQ is with A and G is with Q => G and Q are travelling together on motorcycle M3
\nF travels on M1 and E travels on M2 motorcycles.
\nD is travelling with P on M2 => D and E are traveling together on M2
\nB cannot go with R => F and B go together on M1
\nTherefore, C and H go together on M4<\/span><\/p>\n

So, the table can formed as below :
\n
\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hence, C would be travelling with H.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to given condition the correct sequence of houses is 1st is blue, 2nd green, 3rd is yellow and last red.<\/p>\n

Now in the yellow house i.e. 3rd Z lives and X doesnt live as a neighbour i.e. Green and Red house.<\/p>\n

So, X lives in blue house.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Correct arrange ment would be<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hence option C.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before directly trying to answer the question, it is important to gather all the information given by the question.<\/p>\n

There are three houses on each side of the road => Draw 6 lines, 3 in each row, to accommodate P, Q, R, S, T and U.<\/p>\n

The houses are of different colours and different heights.<\/p>\n

T is tallest and is opposite to red house => Let\u2019s number T as 1.<\/p>\n

Shortest house is opposite to green house.<\/p>\n

U is orange and is between P and S => Two cases arise here. P-U-S is one possibility and the other possibility is S-U-P.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

R is yellow and is opposite to P.<\/p>\n

Q is green and is opposite to U. We know that green house is opposite to the shortest house. This implies that U is the shortest house => Number of U is 6.<\/p>\n

P is white and is taller than R but shorter than S and Q => Apart from T, S and Q are also taller than P => S and Q can be 2 and 3 in any order => Number of P is 4 and number of R is 5.<\/p>\n

We know that P is opposite to R and Q is opposite to U => S is opposite to T<\/p>\n

It is given that T is opposite to red house => S is the red house and hence T is the blue house.<\/p>\n

So, we know the colours of all houses and heights of P, R, T and U.<\/p>\n

In this question, we are asked to find the house that is opposite to yellow house. R is the yellow house, P is opposite to R and S is on the other corner in P\u2019s row. Hence S is the house that is diagonally opposite to yellow house and the colour of S is Red.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before directly trying to answer the question, it is important to gather all the information given by the question.<\/p>\n

There are three houses on each side of the road => Draw 6 lines, 3 in each row, to accommodate P, Q, R, S, T and U.<\/p>\n

The houses are of different colours and different heights.<\/p>\n

T is tallest and is opposite to red house => Let\u2019s number T as 1.<\/p>\n

Shortest house is opposite to green house.<\/p>\n

U is orange and is between P and S => Two cases arise here. P-U-S is one possibility and the other possibility is S-U-P.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

R is yellow and is opposite to P.<\/p>\n

Q is green and is opposite to U. We know that green house is opposite to the shortest house. This implies that U is the shortest house => Number of U is 6.<\/p>\n

P is white and is taller than R but shorter than S and Q => Apart from T, S and Q are also taller than P => S and Q can be 2 and 3 in any order => Number of P is 4 and number of R is 5.<\/p>\n

We only know that the second tallest house is either Q or S.\u00a0 Hence the answer is cannot be determined.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before directly trying to answer the question, it is important to gather all the information given by the question.<\/p>\n

There are three houses on each side of the road => Draw 6 lines, 3 in each row, to accommodate P, Q, R, S, T and U.<\/p>\n

The houses are of different colours and different heights.<\/p>\n

T is tallest and is opposite to red house => Let\u2019s number T as 1.<\/p>\n

Shortest house is opposite to green house.<\/p>\n

U is orange and is between P and S => Two cases arise here. P-U-S is one possibility and the other possibility is S-U-P.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

R is yellow and is opposite to P.<\/p>\n

Q is green and is opposite to U. We know that green house is opposite to the shortest house. This implies that U is the shortest house => Number of U is 6.<\/p>\n

P is white and is taller than R but shorter than S and Q => Apart from T, S and Q are also taller than P => S and Q can be 2 and 3 in any order => Number of P is 4 and number of R is 5.<\/p>\n

We know that P is opposite to R and Q is opposite to U => S is opposite to T<\/p>\n

It is given that T is opposite to red house => S is the red house and hence T is the blue house.<\/p>\n

T is the tallest house and hence the colour of the tallest house is blue.<\/p>\n
