Hello everyone, I am Aparna and here is the Day 9 Lesson of our SBI PO 2017 Study Plan. Today's topic is Puzzle Test of Reasoning Section. Happy Reading :) 

Puzzle Test

In Puzzle Tests questions are put in the form of puzzles involving certain number of items, be it persons or any object. You are required to analyse that information and answer the questions that follows. Usually the questions on Puzzle Tests are based on Classification, Placing Arrangements, Comparison, Sequential Order, or Family based. You are going to learn about all these types of Puzzle Tests here. 

1. CLASSIFICATION TYPE

In classification type puzzle certain items be-longing to different groups or possessing different qualities are given along with some clues, with the help of which you are required to group and analyse the given items and answer the questions accordingly : 

Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions :

B, M, T, R, K, H and D are traveling in a train compartment with III-tier sleeper berth. Each of them has a different profession of Engineer, Doctor, Architect, Pharmacist, Lawyer, Journalist and Pathologist. They occupied two lower berths, three middle berths and two upper berths. B, the Engineer, is not on the upper berth. The Architect is the only other person who occupies the same type of berth as that of B. M and H are not on the middle berth and their professions are Pathologist and Lawyer respectively. T is a Pharmacist. D is neither a Journalist nor an Architect. K occupies the same type of berth as that of the Doctor.

1. Who is the Architect ? 
1. D
2. H
3. R
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these
2. What is D's profession ? 
1. Pharmacist
2. Lawyer
3. Doctor
4. Engineer 
5. Data inadequate 
3. Which of the following pairs occupy the lower berth ? 
1. BT
2.  BD
3. BK
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these
4. Which of the following groups occupies the middle berth ?
1. DKT
2. HKT (c) DKR (d) DHT (e) None of these 5. Which of the following combinations of person-berth-profession is correct? (a) K - Upper - Lawyer (b) D - Upper - Doctor (c) M - Lower - Journalist (d) R - Lower - Architect (e) All correct  

How to Solve this Question ?

To solve this puzzle and find out what is the profession and berth of each passenger let us draw a table like given below : 

Passenger
Berth
Occupation

Now, based on the information given, let us mark the details in the table.

1. Mark B is an Engineer
2. The Architect is the only other person who occupies the same type of berth as B, the Engineer. And since the Engineer is not on the up-per berth, so he and the Architect must be on the lower berth, as three persons occupy the middle berth. 
3. M and H are not on middle berth and their professions are Pathologist and Lawyer respectively.
4. Since lower berths are occupied by Engineer and Architect, so Pathologist and Lawyer occupy upper berths and the Doctor, Pharmacist and Journalist occupy the middle berths. 
5. Now, T is a Pharmacist. He occupies middle berth
6. D is neither a Journalist nor an Architect. So, D is a doctor. From clue 4 above Doctor is in a middle berth
7. Since K occupies the same type of berth as the doctor, so K is a Journalist. 
8. Finally, R is an Architect. Architect is the only other person who occupies the same type of berth as that of B so it is lower 

Passenger	B	M	T	R	K	H	D
Berth	Lower	Upper	Middle	Lower	Middle	Upper	Middle
Occupation	Engineer	Pathologist	Pharmacist	Architect	Journalist	Lawyer	Doctor

2. PLACING ARRANGEMENTS

Like in Seating arrangement problems here also some clues regarding seating/ placing arrangments of some persons or items is given and you need to form the proper sequence using these clues and answer the given questions accordingly. 

Directions (Questions 1 to 4) : Study the fol-lowing information carefully and answer the questions given below :

Six friends A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting in a row facing towards North. C is sitting between A and E. D is not at the end. B is sitting immediate right to E. F is not at the right end. 

1. How many persons are there to the right of D
1. One 
2. Two 
3. Three 
4. Four 
5. None of these
2. Which of the following pairs is sitting to one side of D ?
1. FB

4. Cannot be determined
5. None of these
4. Who is at the right end ? 
1. A
2. B
3. E
4. Cannot be determined
5. None of these

Solution

B is to the immediate right of E i.e. E, B.

C is between A and E i.e. A, C, E, B.

D is not at the end and F is not at the right end, So, sequence in the row becomes : F, D, A, C, E, B.

ANSWERS

1. (4) : There are four persons to the right of D - A, C, E, B.

2. (5) : Clearly, F is sitting on one side while each one of B, C and E is on the other side of D.

3. (1) : A is to the immediate left of C.

4. (2) : B is at the right end. 

3. COMPARISON

In this type of question some clues are given regarding comparisons among a set of persons or things with resepect to one or more qualities. You are required to analyse the information, form a sequence and answer the questions accordingly.

Directions (Questions 1 to 5) : Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below: There are seven students - A, B, C, D, E, F and G - in a class. Each of them has a different favourite subject - English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Sociology and Philosophy. Each of the students secured different marks in the examination. C has secured second highest marks and neither English nor Mathematics is his favourite subject. E secured the least marks and neither Sociology nor Mathematics is his favourite subject. The favourite subject of D is Physics and he secured more marks than Band G but less than A. The favourite subject of B is Biology and his marks are more than the marks of E but less than the marks of G. The favourite subject of A is Philosophy. The student, whose favourite subject is Chemistry, got the highest marks.

1. Chemistry is the favorite subject of
1. A
2. C
3. F
4. G
5. None of these
2. Which is the favorite subject of E ? 
1. English
2. Mathematics
3. Biology
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these
3. When all the seven students are arranged according to their marks in descending order, what is the position of A from the top ?
1. Second
2. Third
3. Fourth
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these
4. What is the favorite subject of G ?
1. Mathematics
2. Sociology
3. Either Mathematics or Sociology
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these
5. Who got the second least marks ?
1. C 
2. D
3. G
4. None of these

Solution

A has Philosophy, B has Biology and D has Physics as his favourite subject. 

Now, neither English nor Mathematics is C's favourite subject. 

Since C got the second highest marks, so his favourite subject cannot be Chemistry also. 

So, C's favourite subject is Sociology. 

E's favourite subject is neither Sociology nor Mathematics. Also, E got the least marks and so his favourite subject cannot be Chemistry. So, E's favourite subject is English. 

In terms of marks obtained, it is given that : D>B, D>G, A>D, B>E, G>B. 

Thus, we have: A>D>G>B> E. 

Clearly, G did not get the highest marks. So, F's favourite subject is Chemistry and G's favourite subject is Mathematics. 

Hence, F got the highest and C got the second highest marks. 

Thus, the order of marks obtained becomes : F>C>A>D>G>B>E. 

1. (3) : Chemistry is the favourite subject of F.

2. (1) : E's favourite subject is English. 

3. (2) : Clearly, in the descending order of marks obtained, A stood third. 

4. (1) : G's favourite subject is Mathematics. 

5. (5) : B got the second least marks .

4.SEQUENTIAL ORDER OF THINGS

In this type of questions, some clues are given regarding the order of occurrence of certain events. You are required to analyse the given information, frame the right sequence and then answer the questions accordingly .

Directions (Questions 1 to 5) : Study the following information and answer the questions given below : 

Seven specialist doctors P, Q, R, S, T, U and V visit a polyclinic on the four days - Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday - in a week. At least one doctor but not more than two doctors visits the polyclinic on each of these days. Each of them is specialist of different fields - ENT, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Neurologist, Ophthalmologist, Radiologist and Oncologist. S visits on Friday with Radiologist, Paediatrician does not visit on Saturday nor with T and V. Oncologist U visits alone on Tuesday. Q visits on Wednesday and he is not Paediatrician. R visits on Wednesday. V is not Radiologist. Paediatrician visits with ENT specialist. Neurologist visits on Friday. P is neither Orthopaedics nor Radiologist.

1. What is the profession of S ?
1. Ophthalmologist
2. Paediatrics
3. ENT
4. Data inadequate
5. None ofthese
2. What is the specialty of P ? 
1. Paediatrics 
2. Ophthalmologist 
3. ENT
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these
3. On which of tho following days do the specialists in Orthopaedic and Ophthalmologist visit ? 
1. Wednesday
2. Friday
3. Saturday
4. Data inadequate
5.  None of these
4. On which day of the week does T visit ? 
1. Wednesday
2. Friday
3. Saturday
4. Wednesday or Saturday
5. None of these
5. 5.Who among them visits the polyclinic along with P ? 
1. None
2. S 
3. T
4. Either V or S

Solution

U is the Oncologist and he alone visits on Tuesday

Q and R visit on Wednesday. 

S and Radiologist visit on Friday. 

Since Neurologist visits on Friday and not more than two doctors visit on a single day, so S is the Neurologist. 

Since V is not the Radiologist, so V visits on Saturday. 

Now, Paediatrician does not visit on Saturday. So, either Q or R is the Paediatrician. 

Since Paediatrician visits with ENT specialist and Q is not the Paediatrician, so Q is the ENT specialist and R is the Paediatrician. 

Since P is neither Orthopaedic nor Radiologist, so P is the Ophthalmologist and visits on Saturday along with V. Thus, V is Orthopaedic and T is the Radiologist. 

Thus, we get the schedule of visits as under:

1. (5) ; S is the Neurologist 

2. (2) ; P is the Opthalmologist 

3. (3) ; The specialists in Orthopaedic and Ophthalmology visit on Saturday 

4. (4); T visits on Friday 

5. (4); V visits the polyclinic along with P.

5. FAMILY BASED

In this type of questions, clues are given regarding relationship among different members of a family, together with their professions, qualities etc. You are required to analyse the information carefully and answer the given questions accordingly. 

Directions (Questions 1 to 5) : Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below : 

P, Q, R, S,T,V and W are seven members of a family belonging to three generations. There are two married couples, one each of first and second generations respectively. They travel in three different cars X, Y and Z so that no car has more than three members and there is at least one female in each car. R, who is a granddaughter, does not travel with her grandfather and grandmother. Q travels with his father T in car Y. V travels with her granddaughter S in car X. P travels with her daughter in car Z. 

1. In which car three members are travelling ? 
1. X 
2. Y 
3. Z 
4. Either X or Y
5. None of these
2.  How is W related to P ? 
1. Mother-in-law 
2. Daughter 
3. Sister 
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these
3. How many female members are there in the family ? 
1. Three
2. Four 
3. Five 
4. Data inadequate 
5. None of these
4. How is S related to T ? 
1. Granddaughter 
2. Daughter
3. Niece
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these
5. Which of the following is one of the married couples ? 
1. QR
2. QS
3. ST
4. Data inadequate
5. None of these

Solution

R and S...are granddaughters. So, both belong to third generation and V is their grandmother. Since P has a daughter, so P is the wife in the second generation couple. 

Now, Q and T both are males and they travel in car Y. But each car should have at least one female. 

Now, Q is T's son. Let T belong to cecond generation. Then, T is P's husband and Q is the brother of R and S. 

Thus, W is the husband of V. So, the third member with Q and T in car Y, who must be female, cannot be P (who travels in car Z), V (who travels in car X), S (who travels in car X) or R (who travels with mother P in car Z). So, it must be W. But W is a male. This is a contradiction. 

So, T belongs to first and Q to second generation. So, T is the husband of V, Q is the son of T and V, and husband of P. W is female and hence daughter of Q and P. In this case, Q and T may have W or R with them in car Y. 

Since R doesn't travel with her grandfather (who is T), so Q and T travel with W in car Y. Thus, Q, T, W travel in car Y; P and R travel in car Z while V and S travel in car X. 

ANSWERS

1. (2) : Q, T and W travel in car Y.

2. (2) : W is the daughter of P.

3. (3) : The female members are V, P, W, Rand S.

4. (1) : S is V's granddaughter and T is V's husband. So, S is the granddaughter of T.

5. (5) : The married couples are TV and QP.
