Correct Answer: Siya - Riya - Priya - Tiya - Diya
Explanation:
Given, Siya > Priya > Tiya ........(i)
Siya > Riya > Priya ........(ii)
and Riya > Tiya > Diya .........(iii)
On combining Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
Siya > Riya > Priya > Tiya > Diya
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the question,
A + B = C + D; B + D > A + C; A > B
Now, B + D > A + C and A > B
? B + D > A + C > B + C ? B + D > B + C ? D > C
Now, B + D > A + C ? B + D = A + C + K
Also, A + B = C + D ? B - D = C - A
? 2B = 2C + K ? B > C ? A > B > C
D > C
Clearly, each one of A, D and b has more amount than C. Hence, C has the least amount.
Correct Answer: Either T or Q
Explanation:
According to question,
R is heavier than S but lighter than T.
R > S But T > R
Then T > R > S
P is lighter than S.
S > P
Then
T > R > S, S > P ? T > R > S > P
But information about Q is not given, Hence, either T or Q is the heaviest.
Correct Answer: 22nd or 25th October
Explanation:
_______________________________________________
According to | Leave Date

Seema | 22, 23, 24, 25, 26
__________________|_____________________________
but Seema was present on 23rd. Also, it was holiday on 24th and 26th October was Sunday. Hence, possible date may be either 22nd or 25th October
Correct Answer: 75
Explanation:
From among those who passed Neeta is 22nd from the top and Kalyan is 22 +5 = 27th from the top and 34th from the bottom. Therefore, total number of students who passed the examination = 27 + 34 - 1 = 60.
Therefore, total number of students in the class = (60/4) X 5 = 75
