Five cities P, Q, R, S and T are connected by different modes of transport as follows:

P and Q are connected by boat as well as by rail.

S and R are connected by bus and by boat.

Q and T are connected only by air .

P and R are connected only by boat.

T and R are connected by rail and by bus.

If the person visits each of the places starting from P and gets back to P, which of the following places must he visit twice?

Answer:

Explanation:

If a person wants to visit all the places and again return to P, then he can go in the order of

$P\rightarrow Q$$\rightarrow T$$\rightarrow R$$\rightarrow S$ and then

$S\rightarrow R\rightarrow P$(OR)

$P\rightarrow R\rightarrow S$ and then

$S\rightarrow R\rightarrow T\rightarrow Q\rightarrow P $

He must visit R twice.

P, Q, R, S, T, U, V are seven places are connected by two-way roads: P and Q; P and U; R and U; R and S; U and V; S and T; Q and R; T and V.No other roads exist.

The shortest route from P to V is

Answer:

Explanation:

As is seen ,P-U-V is the shortest way from P to V.

P, Q, R, S, and T are five girls who completed in a running race. R and P have at least two girls ahead of each of them.T and P have not more than one girl behind each of them.Who arrives at the finishing line after two girls as well as before two other girls .No two girls finished at the same time.

Answer:

Explanation:

R and P have at least two girls before them 

That is R and P have to be two out of 3rd and 4th and 5th positions.

T and P havenot more than one girl behind each of them 

ie , T and P have to be in the 4th or 5th positions.

The above two statements together mean that R will have to be in the third position.

P, Q, R, S and T sit around a table.

P sits two seats away to the left of R and Q sits two seats away to the right of R.

If S is not sitting next to Q, who is between Q and S?

Answer:

Explanation:

If S is not next to Q,then the seating arrangement is fixed as follows.

Now P is between Q and S

A, B, C, D, E, F and G  are seven players.They form two teams of two players each and one team of three players.A and B cannot be in the same team.B and C cannot be in the same team whereas E and F must be in the same team.

If C, D and A form a team of three players,which of the following can be the two members of one of the teams?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that C, D, A form a team of 3 members , one of the other teams has to have E and F together.Hence, B and G should form one team
