ISHAN TOPRE46. Six boys - Sonu. Monu, Tinu, Chiku, Ramu and Tyagi are sitting in a row facing the same direction. Sonu is not adjacent to Chiku but adjacent to Ramu. Tyagi is adjacent to both Monu and Tinu. Neither Sonu nor Ramu is sitting at the extreme ends and Tinu is to the left of Sonu but not to the right of Monu. Who is sitting at the extreme right?
- Monu
- Tinu
- Tyagi
- Chiku (Answer)
Sonu is not adjacent to Chiku but adjacent to Ramu
So it should be Sonu Ramu or Ramu Sonu
Second conditionTyagi is adjacent to both Monu and Tinu
So it is A Monu Tyagi Tinu or B Tinu Tyagi Monu
Third condition:Neither Sonu nor Ramu is sitting at the extreme ends
So Sonu and Ramu are sitting somewhere IN BETWEEN
Fourth condition:Tinu is to the left of Sonu but not to the right of Monu
So Tinu is sitting at the LEFT of both Sonu and Monu
So from the the condition B is true.
So we have A Tinu Tyagi Monu Ramu Sonu or BTinu Tyagi Monu Sonu Ramu
This leaves Chiku to the EXTREME RIGHT.
So the final positions are Tinu Tyagi Monu Ramu Sonu Chiku 😀 or Tinu Tyagi Monu Sonu Ramu Chiku 😀
47. Who is sitting at the extreme left?
- Monu
- Tinu (Answer)
- Tyagi
- Chiku

andenagaveni24hey can anybody explain me the solution for Q.36
-
andenagaveni24this is simple ....write all the prime numbers from 41 to 73
they are 41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73.....the series given in Q.9 is 41,47,59,67,73.....the logic here is the alternate prime no.s ..so our ans will be the second successive prime number after 73...that is 83 is the answer... -
Ankita KatdareSolution to question no. 36:

5x + 50y = 400
- 30 (Answer)
- 17
- 35

OR
x+ 10y = 80
All the other values of (x+y) (except 30) give unique solution to the equation.
Hence, the answer is 30.
