Q. No. 1:
If Samuel is telling the truth, which of the following statements is true?
Answer: A Given that Samuel is telling the truth, which means that there are exactly three suspects including Samuel who are telling the truth. Option A is true as when Chaudhary, Dutta and Samuel are the three suspects telling the truth then each of the other suspects is not telling the truth. Option B cannot be true as if Nagraj fudged the accounts, then Shrinivas and Jose are telling the truth along with Samuel. But it cannot be proved whether Datta is telling the truth or not. Option C cannot be true as if Chaudhary and Jose are telling the truth, then there would be four suspects (Chaudhary, Jose, Shrinivas and Samuel) that are telling the truth, which is not possible. Option D cannot be true as if Shrinivas and Datta are telling the truth, then Jose would also be telling the truth and there would be four suspects (Chaudhary, Jose, Shrinivas and Samuel) that are telling the truth, which is not possible.
Q. No. 2:
If Panda is lying, which of the following statements cannot be true?
Answer: D Given that Panda is lying, which means that Samuel is speaking the truth and which implies that there are exactly three suspects who are speaking the truth i.e. Samuel, Chaudhary and Datta are telling the truth. Option (A) can be true as Nagraj, Ganeshan and Ejaz can be lying simultaneously. Option (B) Datta, Chaudhary are telling the truth i.e. Datta fudged the accounts. So option (B) can be true. Option (C) Datta is telling the truth. So option (C) can be true. Option (D) Jose, Shrinivas are lying. So option (D) cannot be true.

Five colleagues pooled their efforts during the office lunch-hour to solve the crossword in the daily paper. Colleagues: Mr. Bineet, Mr. Easwar, Ms. Elsie, Ms. Sheela, Ms. Titli. Answers: Burden, Barely, Baadshah, Rosebud. Silence. Numbers: 4 down, 8 across, 15 across, 15 down, 21 across. Order: First, second, third, fourth, fifth.
1. Titli produced the answer to 8 across, which had the same number of letters as the previous answer to be inserted, and one more than the subsequent answer which was produced by one of the men. 2. It was not Bineet who solved the clue to ‘Burden’, and Easwar did not solve 4 down. 3. The answers to 15 across and 15 down did not have the same number of letters. 4. 'Silence', which was not the third word to be inserted, was the answer to an across clue. 5. 'Barely' was the first word to be entered in the grid, but 'Baadshah' was not the second answer to be found. 6. Elsie's word was longer than Bineet's; Sheela was neither the first nor the last lo come up with an answer. 7. Fifth one to be worked out was an answer to an across clue.
Answer: B 8 Across – Titli – Answer (Silence or Rosebud) as it must have seven
letters. Also, the answer given by one of the two men must have
six letters (Barely or Burden) From information
(2): Given that Bineet did not solve the clue to “Burden” and
Easwar did not solve 4 down. From information (3): The
answers to 15 across and 15 down have different number of
letters. From information (4): Silence – Across and
did not give an answer to the clue that was solved third. From
information (5): Barely – first clue that was answered and
Baadshah – not second. From information (1) we know that the answer
given by Titli has seven letters and so was the answer given just before
it. So, Titli was not the second person that gave the answer to the
clue. From information (6): Sheela was either the
second, third or the fourth to find the answer. Titli's answer was
followed by an answer given by a man.
Also, the
number of letters in the answer given by Elsie has to be 8 or 7
and correspondingly the number of letters in the answers given
by Bineet has to be 7 or 6.
Assume that the answer
given by Bineet has 7 letters then the number of letters in the answer
given by Easwar as well as Sheela has to be 6. In this case Sheela will
become the first person to give the answer to the clue which is not
possible. Hence, the answer given by Bineet has 7 letters and
that given by Elsie has 8. Therefore, Bineet gave the answer
Barely and was the first to give the answer.
First –
Bineet – Barely – Down Second – Sheela – Silence (As Silence
was not the third word to be inserted) – Across Third – Titli –
Rosebud – 8 Across Fourth – Easwar – Burden –
Down Fifth – Elsie – Baadshah – Across Since Easwar
did not solve 4 down, therefore he solved 15 down and Bineet solved 4
down. So, the final table will look like:
Answer: C 8 Across – Titli – Answer (Silence or Rosebud) as it must have seven
letters. Also, the answer given by one of the two men must have
six letters (Barely or Burden) From information
(2): Given that Bineet did not solve the clue to “Burden” and
Easwar did not solve 4 down. From information (3): The
answers to 15 across and 15 down have different number of
letters. From information (4): Silence – Across and
did not give an answer to the clue that was solved third. From
information (5): Barely – first clue that was answered and
Baadshah – not second. From information (1) we know that the answer
given by Titli has seven letters and so was the answer given just before

Also, the

given by Bineet has 7 letters then the number of letters in the answer
given by Easwar as well as Sheela has to be 6. In this case Sheela will
become the first person to give the answer to the clue which is not
possible. Hence, the answer given by Bineet has 7 letters and
that given by Elsie has 8. Therefore, Bineet gave the answer
Barely and was the first to give the answer.
First –
Bineet – Barely – Down Second – Sheela – Silence (As Silence
was not the third word to be inserted) – Across Third – Titli –
Rosebud – 8 Across Fourth – Easwar – Burden –
Down Fifth – Elsie – Baadshah – Across Since Easwar
did not solve 4 down, therefore he solved 15 down and Bineet solved 4
down. So, the final table will look like:
Answer: B 8 Across – Titli – Answer (Silence or Rosebud) as it must have seven
letters. Also, the answer given by one of the two men must have
six letters (Barely or Burden) From information
(2): Given that Bineet did not solve the clue to “Burden” and

Bineet – Barely – Down Second – Sheela – Silence (As Silence

Rosebud – 8 Across Fourth – Easwar – Burden –
Down Fifth – Elsie – Baadshah – Across Since Easwar
did not solve 4 down, therefore he solved 15 down and Bineet solved 4

A BPO has assigned duty to nine operators - Abdulla, Ballal, Chandan, Dogra, Eshita, Falguni, Ganguli, Henri and Indra - on Monday, January 05, 2009 from 00:00 hours. Each operator commences duty at any of the following hours: 00:00 hrs. 04:00 hrs, 08:00 hrs, 12:00 hrs, 16:00 hrs and 20:00 hrs. At any point in time, at least one operator is required, to take clients' calls. Each operator work continuously for eight hours. All operators located at any single location start work simultaneously. The operators took training in five different colleges - Abhiman College, Sutanama College, Gutakal College, Barala College and Khatanama College. These colleges are located in the cities Jamshedpur, Pune, Noida, Hyderabad and Mangalore, not necessarily in that order. The operators operate from the cities where their respective colleges are located.
Indra operates alone from a city other than Mangalore and Jamshedpur. Operator(s) trained in Abhiman College will start working at 12:00 hrs. Only Dogra and Falguni operate from Pune, but they are not trained in Gutakal College. Three of the operators took training from Sutanama College, and they operate from Noida. The operator(s) from Jamshedpur will start working at 0:00 hrs. Abdulla and Henri operate together as a two member team from a single location. They do not operate from Mangalore. No operator(s) will join at 20:00 hrs. Ballal, who alone operates from his location, was not trained in Barala College, and will commence his duty four hours after the operator(s) trained in Gutakal College. The operator(s) trained in Barala College operate from Hyderabad. The number of operator(s) trained in Khatanama College is same as the number of operator(s) trained in Barala College.
Q. No. 1:
Which of the following statements must be true?
A :
Dogra and Henri took training from Khatanama College
B :
Indra took training from Barala College
C :

Also, no operator joined at 20:00 hrs..
Option A is definitely true as at least Ballal, Abdulla and Henri will be working between 04:00 hrs and 08:00 hrs. Option B is definitely not true as Chandan, Eshita and Ganguli may start at 04:00 hrs and Indira might start at 16:00 hrs. So, there will be at most 6 persons (along with Ballal, Abdulla and Henri) that will be working between 04:00 hrs and 08:00 hrs. Option C is definitely true as Chandan, Eshita and Ganguli may start at 12:00 hrs and Indira might start at 16:00 hrs. So, there will be at most 5 operators (along with Dogra and Falguni) that will be working between 12:00 hrs to 16:00 hrs. Option D is definitely true as Indira as well as the team of Chandan, Eshita and Ganguli may start working at 16:00 hrs and so there will be at most 6 persons (along with Dogra and Falguni) that will be working between 16:00 hrs and 20:00 hrs.
Q. No. 5:
If five operators are working between 16:00 hrs and 20:00 hrs, which of the following must be true?

Also, no operator joined at 20:00 hrs..
Given that five operators are working between 16:00 hrs and 20:00 hrs. This is possible when Indira must have finished 8 hours of their duty before 12:00 hrs and therefore the team of Chandan, Eshita and Ganguli must start working at 16:00 hrs to keep the round the clock operation. Option A is not necessarily true as Ballal works only from 04:00 hrs to 12:00 hrs. Option B is not necessarily true as Abdulla and Henri must work simultaneously at any moment of time. Option C is not necessarily true as the team of Chandan, Eshita and Ganguli must work simultaneously at any moment of time. Option D must be true as Dogra and Falguni will finish working at 20:00 hrs and only the team of Chandan, Eshita and Ganguli will be working between 20:00 hrs to 00:00 hrs.
