SNAP Arrangements Questions
Question 1
Four of the following are similar in some way. Pick the odd one out.
Solution
Let’s number the positions as 1 to 8 from left to right. So 1 is the extreme left end and 8 is the extreme right end.
Now it is given that there are 4 people between R and T with R being to the left of T. Hence the possible combinations are (1, 6), (2, 7) or (3, 8).
Let’s consider all three cases
If R is at first position and T is 6th. Now U will have to be at 2nd position. This would mean that V is 4th. S is third to the left of Q. The only possibility for this would be that S is 5th and Q is 8th. P must be 3rd and W must be 7th. So our seating arrangement would be the one shown below.
Let’s consider the second case
If R is 2nd and T is 7th: In this case U will be at 3rd position. V will be 5th. Now there will be no place for S to be 3rd of Q. Hence this arrangement is not possible.
Let’s have a look at the third possibility
R is 3rd and T is 8th. Here U will be 4th and V will be 6th. The only possibility for S to be third to the left of Q would be Q at 5 and S at 2. But in this case there will be 5 people between P and W which is in contradiction to the given information. Hence, this is also not possible. So, only first arrangement is possible. Hence our final arrangement would be
Six friends - P, Q, R, S, T, and U, not necessarily in the same order are standing in a line, facing north. There are as many people between U and S as there are between R and T. S and T are not neighbors. R sits second to the right of S. U and R are neighbors. T sits at one of the ends. P and Q are not neighbors.
Question 1
Which of the following cannot be true?
Solution
Given, R sits second to the right of S.
The possible cases are (S, R) are (4, 6), (3, 5), (2, 4) and (1, 3)
If (S, R) sit at (4, 6), U has to sit at 5 as U and R are neighbors. Since the number of people between S and U is same as the number of people between R and T, T has to sit at 3. But T sits at one of the ends, which is not possible.
If (S,R) sit at (3, 5), U can sit at 6 or 4. If U sits at 6, T should sit at 2 as the number of people between S and U is same as the number of people between R and T. This is not possible as T should sit at one of the ends. If U sits at 4, T has to sit at 6. This is not possible as P and Q should not be neighbors.
If (S, R) sit at (2, 4), U can sit 3 or 5. If U sits at 3, T has to sit at 5, which is not possible as T sits at one end. If U sits at 5, T has to sit at 1, but T and S are not neighbors, hence this case is not possible.
If (S, R) sit at (1, 3), U can sit at 2 or 4. U cannot sit at 2 because then T has to sit at 4, which is not possible. If U sits at 4, T has to sit at 6. P, Q can sit at either 2 or 5 in any order.
Thus, 2 cases are possible:
Case 1:
Case 2:

Question 1
In a school drill, a number of children are asked to stand in a circle. They are evenly spaced and the 6th child is diametrically opposite the 16th child. How many children are made to stand in the circle?
Solution
Since it is given that student numbered 6 and 16 are diametrically opposite each other. So, the students between them at one of the two sides will be numbered from 7 to 15 including both, which is equal to 9. The same number of students will be at the opposite side. Now including student numbered 6 and 16, there are a total of 9+9+2 students= 20 students.
During their school Silver Jubilee Reunion, four alumni were discussing their starting annual salaries back in 1981. The salaries in question were Rupees 40, 50, 60 and 70 thousand per year.

Read the following passage and answer the questions.
An employee has been assigned the task of allotting offices to six of the staff members. The offices are numbered 1 - 6. The offices are arranged in a row and they are separated from each other by six foot high dividers. Hence voices, sounds and cigarette smoke flow easily from one office to another. Miss Ruby needs to use the telephone quite often throughout the day. Mr. Minhas and Mr. Brar need adjacent offices as they need to consult each other often while working. Miss Harsha is a senior employee and has to be allotted the office number 5, having the biggest window. Mr. Dongre requires silence in the offices next to his. Mr. Tanjore, Mr. Minhas and Mr. Dongre are all smokers. Miss Harsha finds tobacco smoke allergic and consequently the offices next to hers are to be occupied by non-smokers. Unless specifically stated all the employees maintain an atmosphere of silence during office hours.
Question 4
The ideal candidate to occupy the office furthest from Mr. Brar would be
Solution
In this question, it is given that Miss Harsha has been allotted Room 5 and she requires her neighbor to be non-smokers. This can be represented as follows
This implies Room 1, 2 and 3 have to be occupied by smokers as there are 3 smokers.
Further, it is given that Mr. Minhas (smoker) and Mr. Brar (non-smoker) need an adjacent office as they consult with each other. The only way possible is when Mr. Minhas gets room 3 and Mr. Brar gets room 4. This will lead to the allocation of Room 6 to Ms. Ruby as she the only non-smoker left.
Updated allocation looks like
Room 1 and 2 will be given to Mr. Dongre and Mr. Tanjore. Preferable location for Mr. Dongre will be Room 1 as he requires silence.
We see the ideal candidate to be furthest from Mr.Brar is Mr. Dongre

Question 6
In the event of what occurrence, within a period of one month since the assignment of the
offices, would a request for a change in office be put forth by one or more employees?
Solution
In this question, it is given that Miss Harsha has been allotted Room 5 and she requires her neighbor to be non-smokers. This can be represented as follows
This implies Room 1, 2 and 3 have to be occupied by smokers as there are 3 smokers.

Updated allocation looks like
Room 1 and 2 will be given to Mr. Dongre and Mr. Tanjore. Preferable location for Mr. Dongre will be Room 1 as he requires silence.
A) If Mr. Dongre quits smoking it will not impact anyone
B) If Harsha has a noisy telephone installed in her office, Mr. Dongre who prefers silence would still be farthest from the noise hence he will not request for change

D) If Mr. Tanjore takes up the role of Miss Ruby which requires talking on the phone. It will impact Mr. Dongre as he prefers silence in his office and he'll apply for change of rooms
