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 II

SCIENCE

MATHEMATICS

ENGLISH

3) Law is between Hindi and Mathematics.

Case I

Case II

HINDI

MATHEMATICS

LAW

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.
