Comprehension
Read the followimg information and answer the given questions.
Farmer Batuk Singh has a larger square field divided into nine smaller square fields, all equal, arranged in three rows of three fields each. One side of the field runs exactly east-west. The middle square must be planted with rice because it is wet. The Wheat and barley must be continuous so that they can be harvested all at once by a mechanical harvester. Two of the fields should be planted with soybeans. The northwestern most field should be planted with peanuts and the southern third of the field is suitable only for vegetables.
Question: 1

If Batuk Singh decides to plant the wheat next to the peanuts, in which square will the barley be?

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation


Concept: Grid-based arrangement + direction logic.
Step 1: Grid setup.
\[ \text{3 × 3 grid with center = Rice} \]
Step 2: Fixed positions.
  • Center → Rice
  • North-West corner → Peanuts
  • Bottom row → Vegetables

Step 3: Condition.
  • Wheat must be next to peanuts
  • Wheat and barley must be adjacent (continuous)

Step 4: Placement logic.
  • Wheat placed near NW (next to peanuts)
  • Barley placed adjacent to wheat
  • Valid arrangement leads barley at NE of center

Conclusion:
Thus, barley is in the square
north-east of the rice.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


Concept: Grid arrangement + constraints.
Step 1: Fixed positions.
  • Center → Rice
  • North-West → Peanuts
  • Bottom row → Vegetables

Step 2: Conditions.
  • Wheat and barley must be adjacent
  • Wheat must fit without violating fixed placements

Step 3: Check options.
  • South positions → vegetables
  • North-West → already peanuts
  • West may conflict with arrangement
  • North fits all conditions

Conclusion:
Thus, wheat is planted
immediately north of the rice.
