Question

In a tech exhibition, seven mobiles of seven different companies viz. Motorola, Sony, HTC, Oppo, Micromax, Lenovo and Apple were displayed in a row, facing north such that; (I) Motorola was immediate right of Apple. (II) Apple was fourth to the right of HTC. (III) Oppo was between Sony and Lenovo (IV) HTC, which was third to the left of Sony, was at one of the ends. Which of the following is definitely true? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Fiat

  Bedford  

Maruti

  Ambassader

  Fargo

  Cardilac

  Mercedes

Since Fargo is to the right of Fiat and Fiat is at one of the ends. This means Fiat is at the left end. Thus, Ambassador is 4th from left and Fargo is fifth from left. Thus, Cadillac is sixth from left. Since Maruti is between Ambassador and Bedford. Bedford is 2nd from left and Maruti is 3rd from left. Thus, Mercedes is 7th from the left since that's the only spot left.

Answer 2

The seven companies whose mobiles are kept are Motorola, Sony, HTC, Oppo, Micromax, Lenovo and Apple.

The information we get about the order in which the phones are kept is

1. They are displayed in a row facing north

2. Motorola was the immediate right of Apple.

3. Apple was fourth to the right of HTC.

4. Oppo was between Sony and Lenovo

5. HTC, which was third to the left of Sony.

6. HTC was at one of the ends

So, following these clues, we derive the order written below to be the order in which these mobile phones are kept in the tech exhibition:

HTC then Lenovo then Oppo then Sony then Apple then Motorola and lastly Micromax
