Q8. Zb,Fc,Eb,Cs,Gv,Um: Zb most experienced. Gv more than only Eb. 3 above Fc. >3 below Cs=28yrs. If 3rd least = 21 years, what may be Um's experience?

1. 29 years
2. 20 years
3. 25 years
4. 30 years

Answer: 25 years

Ranking: Zb(1)>Cs(2)=28>Um(3)>Fc(4)=21>Gv(5)>Eb(6). Um is between Cs(28) and Fc(21): 21<Um<28. From options 25 years satisfies this.

Q9. A,B,C,D,E,F: F>A>B. Only 2 above E. B not least. Neither F nor C is highest. 2nd highest=75, 3rd lowest=55. Who got second-lowest marks?

1. F
2. E
3. A
4. B

Answer: B

Only 2 above E → E=3rd. Neither F nor C is highest → D is highest (rank 1). F>A>B and F≠1 → F=2. A=4 (since E=3), B=5, C=6. 2nd lowest=rank 5=B. Check: 2nd highest(F=rank2)=75 ✓; 3rd lowest(A=rank4)=55 ✓.
