Direction for the following 3 (three) items · as printed by UPSC
Which one of the following boxes contains the golf ball ?
aF
bE
cD
dNone of the above
AnswerUPSC’s answer is (b).
A is orange and at the extreme right (6th). C is fifth from the right, so 2nd from the left, with B next to it. A has tennis, B volleyball, C cricket. Hockey cannot be in D or E, so it is in F; golf is not in D and the golf box is violet, so golf is in E; the football is in D. So the golf ball is in E, the violet box.
Why each option is right or wrong
(a) F holds the hockey ball.
(b) Right: golf is in E, the violet box.
(c) D holds the football.
(d) The clues do fix the golf ball, in E.
