Eight persons A, S, D, F, M, N, B and V sit around a rectangular table but not necessarily in the same order. Four persons sit at the corner of the table and remaining four sit at the middle of sides of the table. The persons sit at corner face inside and the persons sit at middle of sides of the table face outside. M sits third to right of V. One person sits between M and S. B sits second to the left of S. D sits adjacent to S but not opposite to V. N sits diagonally opposite to the one who sits immediate right of F. A does not sit at any corner of the table.

Answer: (A) M-F
Explanation
Arranging the eight persons around the rectangular table yields B at position 1 (corner), V at position 2 (middle), N at position 3 (corner), A at position 4 (middle), M at position 5 (corner), F at position 6 (middle), S at position 7 (corner), and D at position 8 (middle). The pairs formed by A and D, F and V, B and M, as well as N and S each consist of two persons sitting directly opposite each other across the table. In contrast, M and F sit adjacent to each other at positions 5 and 6, making this pair the odd one out.

Answer: (B) Second to the left
Explanation
From the rectangular table arrangement, F sits at the middle of a side at position 6 facing outside, while A sits at the middle of another side at position 4 facing outside. Moving counter-clockwise from position 6, which corresponds to the left direction for a person facing outside at position 6, position 5 is the first person to the left and position 4 is the second person to the left. Therefore, A sits second to the left of F.

How many pair of letters are there in the word 'COVERAGE', each of which have as many letters between them (both forward and backward direction) as they have between them according to English alphabetical order?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (A) One
Explanation
Counting the positions of letters in COVERAGE gives C as 3, O as 15, V as 22, E as 5, R as 18, A as 1, G as 7, and E as 5. In the alphabetical series, there are two letters between O and R (namely P and Q). In the word COVERAGE, there are also exactly two letters (V and E) between O and R. Checking all other letter combinations in both forward and backward directions yields no other matching pair. Thus, there is only one such pair of letters.

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (A) Only I is true.
Explanation
Combining the relevant statements gives A > M = L ≥ D > S. Following the inequality chain from A to S yields A > S, making Conclusion I definitely true. For Conclusion II, since A > M and V > X > M, both A and V are greater than M, but there is no direct connection between A and V due to opposing inequality symbols, so Conclusion II is false.

Conclusions: I. M > L II. W≤ A
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) Neither I nor II is true.
Explanation
Connecting M to L gives the chain M > A ≥ P > U < R > E ≥ L. The presence of opposing inequality signs (> and <) at U means no relation can be determined between M and L. Connecting W to A gives W < L ≤ E < R > U < P ≤ A, which also contains opposing inequality signs, so no relation can be derived between W and A either. Therefore, neither conclusion is true.

● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) Neither I nor II is true.
Explanation
Connecting C to Q yields C < E > Z < X < W ≤ Q, where the opposing inequality signs around Z prevent any relationship between C and Q. Connecting E to W yields E > Z < X < W, where the opposing signs at Z similarly prevent any conclusion regarding E and W. Hence, neither conclusion is true.

Answer: (E) Both I and II are true.
Explanation
Tracing from L to T gives L > W ≥ X > P > T, which strictly proves that L > T is true. Tracing from K to U gives K ≤ T < P < X ≤ W < U, which strictly proves that K < U is true. Thus, both conclusions are definitely true.
