Using S t a t e m e n t II
Many arrangements are possible.
54. 3; Using S t a t e m e n t I
From the line "Yasir sits on the immediate right
of Abhay as well as Kavita" we can conclude that
one of Abhay and Kavita is facing towards the
centre and the other outside. So, all friends are
NOT facing the centre.
Using S t a t e m e n t II
From the line "Abhay sits on the immediate right
of Prashant as well as Yasir" we can conclude that
one of Prashant and Yasir is facing towards the
centre and the other outside. So, all friends are
NOT facing the centre.

C is not in the statement. So using I only we can
never find the relation between R and C.
Using S t a t e m e n t II

never find the relation between R and C.

shifts to right middle lower right lower left

interchange their positions.
6 4 . 1 ; In each step the singlet shifts to centre and
a new element appears in its place. In alternate
steps remaining five elements shift one side CW.
6 5 . 3; In alternate steps the third from top
becomes the first from top and two others shift
one step downward. The first and the third from
bottom interchange places.
6 6 . 5; In alternate steps the third from left
becomes the first and gets inverted while other
two shift one step towards right. The first and
the second from right interchange positions.
6 7 . 4 ; In each step a new element appears at right
position. So options 1 and 5 are ruled out. Look
at the change in position of the triangle and ' C .

251-255: Every other sentence except (E ) has
a key connector in it, suggesting that (E) indeed
is the opening sentence. 'This' in sentence (C)
is used for the situation described in (E). Hence,
(C) follows (E). (A) follows (F) because (A) is
contradicting the condition mentioned in (F) by
using 'ironically'. F follows EC because "such an
approach" is a reference to the approach
mentioned in EC. D is an extension of Aand B the
logical conclusion. Hence, the correct sequence
is ECFADB.
