Question: Who is to the immediate right of P among five persons P, Q, R, S and T facing North ?
Statements:
- R is third to the left of Q and P is second to the right of R.
- Q is to the immediate left of T who is second to the right of P.
From I, we have the order: R, -, P, Q.
From II, we have the order: P, Q, T.
Clearly, each one of the above two orders indicates that Q is to the immediate right of P.
Question: On which date of the month was Anjali born in February 2004 ?
Statements:
- Anjali was born on an even date of the month.
- Anjali's birth date was a prime number.
From I and II, we conclude that Anjali was born in February 2004 on a date which is an even prime number. Since the only even prime number is 2, so Anjali was born on 2nd February, 2004.
Question: How is X related to Y?
Statements:
- Y says, "I have only one brother".
- X says, "I have only one sister".
The statements in I and II do not provide any clue regarding relation between X and Y.
Question: How is F related to P?
Statements:
- P has two sisters M and N.
- F's mother is sister of M's father.
From I and II, we conclude that P is M's brother and so M's father is P's father. So, F is the child of the sister of P's father i.e. F's mother is P's aunt or F is P's cousin.
Question: B is the brother of A. How is A related to B ?
Statements:
- A is the sister of C.
- E is the husband of A.
B is A's brother means A is either brother or sister of B. Now, each one of I and II individually indicates that A is a female, which means that A is B's sister.
