Puzzles
What are Logical Puzzles?
Logical Reasoning Puzzles require you to analyze the given piece of information, pick
the information that is important and leave out the information that is not required in
solving the given set of questions. Reasoning puzzles are mostly based on blood
relations, arrangements, inequalities, etc. Sometimes, the questions test your lateral
thinking and may not require any deduction or analysis.
Basic steps to solve Logical Puzzles
1. Take a quick look at the question.
2. Develop a general idea regarding the theme of the problem.
3. Select the data that is giving you some concrete information out of total
information given. Also, select the data which helps in ruling out certain
possibilities.
a. Useful secondary information: Generally, the first few sentences of the given
data give you the basic information that is required to know the general idea of
the problem. This is called the ‘useful secondary information’.
b. Actual information: Data left after putting aside the useful secondary
information is called actual information. While trying to solve the problem, you
should begin with the actual information while the useful secondary information
should be kept in mind.
c. Negative Information: Some parts of the actual information may consist of
negative information. Negative information does not inform us anything exactly
but it gives us a chance to eliminate a possibility. Sentences like “P is not the
mother of Q” or “B is not a hill-station” are called negative information.
Points to remember while solving Logical Puzzles:
1. Firstly, collect all the direct information.

2. Arrange the direct information in a tabular format.
3. Then identify all the negative information and mark it in your table according to
the given data.
4. Other facts can be found from the indirect information.
5. The most important point is that in some condition/s, there will be more than one
possibility.
6. So, according to possibilities arrange them in different tables.
7. Reject all the tables which violate other information given in puzzle.
8. By following this process, you will reach at the correct answer.
9. Most Puzzles are tricky. So, take care of every word and sentence.
Solved Example
Example: Read the given information carefully and answer the questions that follow:
i. Five friends Ami,Bimi, Cal, Dan and Eco travelled from Darjeeling to five
different countries US,UK,China,Canada,Russia by 5 different modes of
transport: Cycle,Rocket,Time Machine ,Yacht, and Bike.
ii. The one who travelled to China did not travel by Bike.
iii. Cal went to Canada by Yacht and Bimi went to UK by Time Machine.
iv. Dan travelled by Bike and Eco travelled by Rocket.
v. Darjeeling is not connected by Cycle to US and China.
1. Which of the following combinations of person and mode is not corrected?
A. Ami — Cycle
B. Bimi — Time Machine
C. Cal — Yacht
D. Dan — Bike
E. Eco — Time Machine

Solution: (A) Mode of Transport: Cal travels by Yacht, Bimi by Time Machine, Dan by
Bike ,and Eco by Rocket. Now, only Ami remains. So, Ami travels by Cycle.
(B) Place of Travel: Bimi to UK, Cal goes to Canada. Now, Cycle transport is not
available for US or China. Thus, Ami who travels by Cycle goes to Russia. Dan travels
by bike and hence, by (ii), did not go to China. So, Dan goes to US. Now, only Eco
remains. So, Eco goes to China. Clearly, the incorrect combination is Eco — Time
Machine. So, the answer is option E.
2. Which of the following combinations is true for Dan?
A. China — Cycle
B. US — Cycle
C. US — Bike
D. Data inadequate
E. None of these
Bike and Eco by Rocket. Now, only Ami remains. So, Ami travels by Cycle.
B.Place of Travel: Bimi to UK, Cal goes to Canada. Now, Cycle transport is not
remains. So, Eco goes to China.
Clearly, the correct combination for Dan is US — Bike. So, the answer is option C.
3. Which of the following combinations of place and mode is not correct?

A. China — Cycle
B. UK — Time Machine
C. Canada — Yacht
D. US - Bike
E. Russia — Cycle
remains. So, Eco goes to China
Clearly, the incorrect combination is China— Cycle. So, the answer is option A.
4. The person travelling to China used which of the following modes ?
A. Cycle
B. Rocket
C. Time Machine
D. Yacht
E. Bike

remains. So, Eco goes to China
Clearly, Eco travelled to China by Rocket. So, the answer is option B.
5. Who among the following travelled to China?
A. Cal
B. Dan
C. Eco
D. None of these
E. Data inadequate
remains. So, Eco goes to China.

Direction (6-10):
6. Answer: B
7. Answer: E
8. Answer: C
9. Answer: B
10. Answer: E
We have:
• Only three boxes are kept between box C and one that contains Ring, which is kept at
top.
• Only one box is kept between box that contains Watch and box C.
• Box Q, which contains Watch, is kept at a gap of three boxes from one which is
wrapped with Blue paper,
that means we have two possible place for box Q, in case (1) Q is kept third from top
and in case (2) box Q
is kept third from bottom.
• The box which contains Book and box C, which doesn’t contain Pen, are kept
together, that means we have
four possible places for box that contains Book.
Based on above given information we have:
• Box S, which is neither kept adjacent to box Q nor one that contains Book, is kept at a
gap of three boxes
from one that contains Pen.
• Box that contains Pen and Calculator are kept together.
• Only four boxes are kept between one that contains Pen and one that is wrapped with
Red paper, that means
case (1b) and (2a) is not valid.
Case (1b) is not valid as box that contains Pen and Calculator are kept together and
case (2b) is not valid as
box that contains Pen and one wrapped with Red paper are kept at a gap of four boxes.
Again, we have:
• Box A is wrapped with Yellow paper is kept at a gap of three box from one wrapped
with Green paper. • The box wrapped with Green paper is kept just above box D which
contains Laptop, that means in case (1a)

A is kept second from top, in case (2b) box A is kept fourth from top, in case (2c) box A
is kept fourth from
bottom.
• Box which contains Toy and one wrapped with Brown paper is kept together. Box that
wrapped with brown
paper is not kept at bottom.
• Box which contains Toy is neither kept adjacent to one contains Laptop nor kept at
bottom, that means in
case (1a) box wrapped with Brown is kept at top, in case (1c) box Q is wrapped with
Brown paper, in case
(2b) box S is wrapped with Brown paper, in case (2c) box that contains Toy is kept
second from bottom.
Again, we have:
• Only two boxes are kept between one that contains Ball and box which is wrapped
with Black paper.
• Box that contains Cup kept just below one wrapped with White paper.
• Number of boxes between E and R is same as number of boxes between box P and
one which wrapped with
Orange paper. Box E, which is neither wrapped with Pink nor white paper, is kept at any
place above box
R, which is kept at a gap of one box from box B.
• Box which wrapped with Pink paper is kept at any place above box wrapped with
Orange paper. Box P
neither wrapped with Brown paper nor contains Book, that means in case (1a) box P is
kept at bottom, case
(1c), (2b) and (2c) are not valid.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement as follow:
Case (1c), (2b) & (2c) is not true as number of boxes between E and R is same as
number of boxes between
box P and one which wrapped with Orange paper is not valid.
