5. Answer - Option B
Explanation [1-5]-
W was the most experienced in the group.
Only two persons were joined between Y and W.
Only one person was joined between Y and Z.
Only three persons were joined between Z and S. From these conditions we have two possible cases.
S’s experience was four years more than that of twice of the experience of V, hence V’s experience is either 15 or 8 years
X was joined one of the odd numbered years.
U was joined before T and both are joined in the even number years.
From the above condition Case 2 was dropped.
So the final arrangement is
