Quiz 3

Total numbers of soldiers = 13 + 3 + 5 + 1 + 7 + 1 +10 = 40

For explanation,please refer to question no. 1

For this question, start by using the direct clues first. We know that there are six cards P, Q, R, S, T, U; six colours—blue, red, green, grey, yellow and brown and, six pictures— King, Princess, Queen, Palace, Joker and Prince. The following set of deductions gives us the entire solution of the problem. The second part of the third statement is the most directly usable → P-Brown-Queen-Extreme right. We also know that R-King-Grey-Fifth from Right (ivth statement). Also Q being next to R, the following arrangements are possible From this point we start using the indirect clues. From statement (iii), Palace-Blue-Not S → Hence T or U Further, from statement (iv), Princess — Not S and not T, → Not Green or Yellow → Hence, Red and U. This further gives us Palace —TBlue. Hence, S must be the joker (only pair left). Also, green and yellow must be shared between Q and S. Thus, the following pairings emerge: P — Brown — Queen Q — Green/Yellow — Prince R — Grey — King S — Yellow/Green —Joker T — Blue —Palace U — Red — Princess At this point we have used all the statements. Hence go straight into the questions. For Question 5: for the Princess card (U) to be immediately between the Palace (T) and the Prince (Q), Possibility Table 2 must emerge to be the correct one. In such a case, the arrangement of cards becomes: S R Q U T P. Hence the Joker’s cards must be at the extreme left. Option (c) is correct

U-Red is correct. Option (b) is correct.

Data inadequate since we don’t know whether the Joker is yellow or green. Option (d) is correct.

The Palace is on Card T. Option (b) is correct.

Data remains inadequate since we do not know which colour is for which card. Option (d) is correct.
