IBPS SO Prelims Exam Model Paper 3

Eight persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.
1. Two persons purchase items between A and D.
2. From this sentence we have two cases.
Case 1: When A purchase before D.Case 2: When D purchase before A.3. Only one person purchase item between H and G, who purchases just after D.
From this line we have 3 cases:
Case 1: When H purchase after G.Case 1a: When H purchase before G.Case 2: When H purchase before G.4. Only one person purchases between F and B where F purchases before B.
5. Only three persons purchase after G.
On combining these two sentences we get,
Case 1: In this case F will purchase immediately after G.Case 1a: In this case F will purchase immediately after G.Case 2: In this case F will purchase immediately after G.6. The number of people who purchase before C and after F are the same.
From this line our Case 1a and Case 2 is eliminated, as
In Case 1a, there are two persons who purchases after F but there is only one person or six persons who purchases before C, so this case is not possible.
In Case 2, there are two persons who purchases after F but there is no person or only one person who purchases before C, so this case is also not possible.
In Case 1, C will purchase just before D then there will be equal number of people who bought before C and bought after F will become same.
Now, only one person is left i.e. E, E bought just after A.The final ordering is:Hence, Six persons purchase after E.
