1. Question : Among T, V, B, E and C, who is the third from the top when arranged in the descending order of their weights ?
Statements :
I. B is heavier than T and C and is less heavier than V who is not the heaviest.
II. C is heavier than only T.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation: From I, we have: B > T, B > C, V > B. Thus, V is heavier than each one of B, T and C. But V is not the heaviest. So, E is the heaviest.
Thus, we have the order. E>V>B>T>C or E>V>B>C>T. Clearly, B is third from the top.

Statements :
I. The first serial was screened on 23rd, Tuesday and was followed by serial D.
II. Serial A was not screened on 25th and one serial was screened between serials A and B.
a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Both I and II are sufficient
Explanation: From I, we know that the serials were screened on 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th.
Clearly, D was screened second i.e. on 24th, Wednesday.
From II, we know that one serial was screened between A and B.
So, A and B were screened first and third, i.e. on 23rd and 25th. But, A was not screened on 25th.
So, A was screened on 23rd and B on 25th. Thus, C was screened on 26th, Friday.

Statements :
I. If Sunny turns to his right and again turns to his right, he will be facing North.

a) I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
b) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
c) Either I or II is sufficient
d) Neither I nor II is sufficient
Explanation: From I, we conclude that Sunny is facing South, since a person facing South shall face North on turning to his right, twice.
From II, we know that after walking, Sunny shall face towards left of Dinesh facing South i.e. East and a person walking southwards shall face East on turning to 'his left.
Thus, Sunny is facing South.
