Six books are kept one above the other. Hindi is just above Sanskrit. The English is between Mathematics and Science. Law is between Hindi and Mathematics. Which book is at the fourth position from the top? Correct Answer Law
Six books are kept one above the other.
1) Hindi is just above Sanskrit.
|
HINDI |
|
SANSKRIT |
2) The English is between Mathematics and Science.
|
Case I |
Case II |
|
SCIENCE |
MATHEMATICS |
|

|

3) Law is between Hindi and Mathematics.
|
Case I |
Case II |
|
HINDI |
MATHEMATICS |
|
LAW |

|
MATHEMATICS |
HINDI |
On combining 1 and 3 we get:
|
MATHEMATICS |
|
LAW |
|
HINDI |
|
SANSKRIT |
Case I of point 3 is not possible because from point 1 we know Sanskrit is below Hindi and hence Law book can’t be below Hindi.
Therefore, Case I of statement 3 is eliminated as it violates statement 1.
Again combining the output of statement 1 and 3 with statement 2 we get:
|
SCIENCE |
|
ENGLISH |
|
MATHEMATICS |
|
LAW |
|
HINDI |
|
SANSKRIT |
Case II of statement 3 is eliminated because Law book is below Mathematics and hence due to position crisis we eliminate the case.
Final Solution:
|
SCIENCE |
|
ENGLISH |
|
MATHEMATICS |
|
LAW |
|
HINDI |
|
SANSKRIT |
Hence, Law book is at the fourth position from the top.
