IBPS PO General Awareness: Puzzles and Seating Arrangement questions with solutions

Q1. Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are eight friends who live on separate floors of an eight-storey building. The ground floor is numbered 1, the floor above it is numbered 2, and so on until the topmost floor, which is numbered 8. The person who lives on floor number 4 has a Tata car and lives just above the floor where B lives. Kia is owned by the person who lives on the top floor and is not owned by E. The person who owns the Jaguar lives three floors above the person who owns a Honda car, which is owned either by B or C. C lives on floor number 2 and D does not have a Jaguar car. H either has a Jaguar or Tesla car and lives on floor number 6. G and E live on the floors at the extreme ends, not necessarily in the same order, and either of them has a BMW car. The person living on floor number 2 has an Audi. A neither owns a Tesla nor a Maruti car. F lives on floor number 7 and does not own a Maruti car. Who owns the Tesla car? A) C B) D C) E D) F

1. C
2. D
3. E
4. F

Answer: F

The floor positions are tightly constrained: C is on 2, F on 7, H on 6, and the Tata car is on 4 just above B. After placing Kia on the top floor and using the remaining car restrictions, Tesla is forced to be with F. Hence F owns the Tesla car.
