A got 39 marks. A’s exam was scheduled on either Thursday or Friday. There was 1 day between A and D’s exam. D’s exam was after A’s. There was 1 day between D’s exam and the one who got 57 marks. The one who got 69 marks had exam on Saturday. B got 12 marks more than the one who had exam on same day as B. Only one friend had exam on Tuesday. J’s exam was just before the one who got 43 marks. J’s exam was not on Saturday. There were 2 days between the exams of A and I. Also there were 3 days between the exams of B and J. I had exam alone. C’s exam was scheduled just after the day on which there was a holiday. There was 1 day between the exam of C and one who got 43 marks, C’s exam was before him. The one who had exam on Sunday got marks which is a multiple of 3, there is difference of 5 marks between him and one of the students who had exam on Tuesday. H got 45 marks. H and C’s exam was not on same day. E’s exam was scheduled just after F’s.
- On which of the following pair of days single student had exam?
A) Monday, Thursday
B) Wednesday, Friday
C) Tuesday, Wednesday
D) Tuesday, Sunday
E) Friday, Sunday
View AnswerOption D
Arrangement:
Remember that in between Monday and Sunday there is a holiday, so holiday cannot be on Monday or Sunday. In all the 3 possibilities, holiday can only be on Wednesday. Only one exam on Tuesday, so no possibility contains holiday on Tuesday.
1st: A got 39 marks. A’s exam was scheduled on either Thursday or Friday. There was 1 day between A and D’s exam. D’s exam was after A’s. There were 2 days between the exams of A and I.2. Gives 3 possibilities. I hope u got 3 from here.3. There was 1 day between D’s exam and the one who got 57 marks. Gives 57 on same day as A. The one who got 69 marks had exam on Saturday.4. J’s exam was just before the one who got 43 marks. J’s exam was not on Saturday. Also there were 3 days between the exams of B and J.
In all 3 possibilities J on Friday, 43-Sat and B – Monday. Because B and one on same have difference of 12 marks. If B on Sat 69-12 = 57 but 57 on Friday. 69+12=81. There is no 81 marks student. So only possibility J on Friday, 43-Sat and B – MondayNow 1 possibility in which I and B on Monday gets cancelled because I has exam alone.
5. C’s exam was scheduled just after the day on which there was a holiday. There was 1 day between the exam of C and one who got 43 marks, C’s exam was before him.
Gives
holiday
C
—
43Here Monday not a holiday. One exam on Tuesday so holiday not on Tuesday. Holiday on Wednesday. Thursday-C, Saturday – 43
6. For B possibility is 62, and one on same day = 50.
7. The one who had exam on Sunday got marks which is a multiple of 3, there is difference of 5 marks between him and one of the students who had exam on Tuesday.
8. Sunday = multiple of 3 , so either 45 or 51,but if 45, 39 cannot be on Tuesday. So Sunday = 51. Tuesday = 56
H got 45 marks. H cannot be on Tuesday — Only one friend had exam on Tuesday.
At last — Saturday have – 43 and 69 marks, so cant be placed there. Cannot be placed with I, because I had exam alone. Only place on Friday left

Mam 2nd puzzle k liye kya kare..fix krna mushkil h…bhut possibility h.. Mam
I have added some explanation, see that, that will help
Shubhu dear… As per prelims ND mains… Prelims is abt practise ND mains mein Kia approach rkhni chair..
for mains also you will have to practice. Main part here is your approach on the day of Mains Exam. Questions will be unexpected, pattern can be unexpected, type of questions can be unexpected.
DIs remain easy, they will be based on basic concepts of chapters – Its all how you approach at the time of mains exam
Go through memory based paper of SBI PO, u will see that questions are not difficult – they are basic, Yes some contains more calculation
Its all how you approach at that time after doing this so much practice. Learn to leave questions, learn to choose questions for yourself, have accuracy.
practice is d main key… haan mene solve Kia wo poora.. easy h but calculative bhut…
yes so see that only basic questions will be there
only calculative, and some can be tricky
so practice accordingly, make your basics strong
