Direction(1-5): Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions.
Six friends I, J, K, L, M and N made a row with respect to their heights in ascending order from left to right. The heaviest one is of 90 kg.
    ● N is heavier than J and K, who are neither tallest nor shortest.
    ● The tallest one weights immediate less than J and K weights less than the tallest one.
    ● Only M is heavier than I.
    ● N stands in the row just before K.
    ● Two people are standing between J and N, I is not one of them.
    ● The lightest weight of the person is 59 kg, who is the fourth tallest person too.

1. If considering weights J + M = 160 kg, what is the probable weight of L?
    A. 78 B. 40 C. 63 D. 58 E. 45

2. How many people are standing between I and M?
    A. one B. two C. three D. more than three E. None

5. Who is the tallest among them all?
    A. N B. L C. I D. J E. None of these

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option C
Explanation [1-5]-
Given,
Six people: I, J, K, L, M and N.
Heaviest one weights 90 kg.
N is heavier than J and K, who are neither tallest nor shortest.
J, K < N
The tallest one weights immediate less than J and K weights less than the tallest one.
K < Tallest < J < N
Only M is heavier than I.
I < M
Arranging them according to their weights,
K Tallest(L) J N I M

So, the tallest one will be L.
Now arranging them with respect to heights in ascending order as given in the information.

N stands in row just before K, N is shorter than K.
N K
Two people are standing between J and N, I is not one of them.
(there will be two conditions can form) J _ _ N M K ----Ã condition 1
N K _ J -> condition 2
Condition one will not follow because according to that K will become the tallest.
In condition 2, I and L cannot be in between J and N, So
N K M J
The lightest weight of the person is 59, who is the fourth tallest person too.
K is the lightest among them and K is 4th from right so, I will be the shortest.
Summing them all we get,
I N K M J L

There are two people standing between I and M.

    A. Brother B. Nephew C. Uncle D. Son-in-law E. None of these

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
A @ B = A > B
A % B = A = B
A # B = A ≤ B
A & B = A ≥ B
A * B = A < B
From the question,
S% A = S = A
A & D = A ≥ D
D * J = D < J
Therefore, S = A ≥ D < J
Conclusions:
I. D # S = D ≤ S (True)
II. A * J = A < J (Not true)
2. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
A @ B = A > B
A % B = A = B
A # B = A ≤ B
A & B = A ≥ B
A * B = A < B
From the question,
Q @ F = Q > F
F % C = F = C
N * C = N < C
Therefore, Q > F = C > N
Conclusions:
I. Q @ C = Q > C (True)
II. F * N = F < N (Not true)
3. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
The fact that Vincent and Thomas live on the same street indicates that they live in the same neighborhood. There is no support for any of the other choices.
4. Answer - Option D
