Question: 1
What sport does Lily like?
What sport does Lily like?
Updated On: Aug 18, 2026
- Cricket
- Baseball
- Wrestling

Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Check each option against the sports already pinned down for the other seated people.

- Baseball must go to Deepika (forced by the Baseball-Running face-off, since she can't be Kabaddi or Running) — not Lily.
- Boating must go to Suresh (his only remaining fit once Wrestling and Baseball are excluded for him) — not Lily.
- Wrestling is the one sport left with no contradiction for Lily.
So the correct answer is Wrestling.

Updated On: Aug 18, 2026
- The person who likes running
- The person who likes walking
- The person who likes boating
- The person who likes Cricket
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Use the fixed Deepika-Sonal (Baseball-Running) face-off and the vacancy placement rules.
- Walking sits elsewhere, fixed by David being third to its right.
- Boating (Suresh) and Cricket (Arvind) both sit in Row 2, not immediately right of the Row-1 seat in question.
- Sonal, who likes Running, is the one seat that lands immediately to the right of the person facing the vacant seat once the vacancy rules are applied.
So the correct answer is the person who likes running.

Question: 5
Find the statement which is false
Find the statement which is false
Updated On: Jul 16, 2026
- Sadhana likes boating
- Mahesh likes chess
- Deepika likes baseball
- Sonal likes running
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Check each statement against the sports already fixed by the passage's clues.
- Mahesh-Chess, Deepika-Baseball and Sonal-Running are all directly consistent with the fixed clues — true statements.
- Boating is fixed as Suresh's sport, while Sadhana is fixed as the Swimming-liker, since she faces Mahesh — so "Sadhana likes boating" contradicts the arrangement.
So the false statement is that Sadhana likes boating.

Question: 6
Who face vacant seats?
Who face vacant seats?
Updated On: Aug 18, 2026
- David, Lakshmi
- David, Lily
- Ann, David
- Lily, Sadhana
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Check each pair against the fixed rule that Mahesh and Arvind must face occupied seats (Swimming and Kabaddi respectively).
- Lakshmi and Ann are both fixed elsewhere by their own spacing and adjacency clues, not opposite a vacancy.
- Sadhana faces Mahesh, an occupied seat, so she cannot face a vacancy either.
- With Mahesh, Arvind, and Suresh's spacing all fixed to occupied seats, the two vacancies land opposite David and opposite Lily.
So the correct answer is David, Lily.

1. The six words are written from left to right on a single line, in strictly increasing alphabetical order.
2. The sentence may start with any word. Each successive word is obtained from the word right before it by applying exactly ONE of three operations: deleting one letter, adding one letter, or replacing one letter with another letter.
3. At most three of the six words can begin with the same letter.
4. Apart from the first word, every word must be formed using an operation different from the one used to form the word immediately before it (so the same operation can never be used twice in a row).
