Comprehension
Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Eight cars viz. H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7 and H8 are parked in two parallel rows namely Yellow line and Blue line facing towards north such that the car standing in the Blue line faces the back side of the car standing in front of it in Yellow line. Equal number of cars stand in both the rows.
- H3 stands second to the left of H4, which does not stand at any extreme end.
- H1 and H4 stand in different rows.
- H5 is third to the right of H2.
- H8 does not stand at any of the extreme ends.
- H7, which stands in Blue line is opposite to H1
Question: 1

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which of the following does not belong to the group?

Show Hint

In "odd-one-out" puzzles involving seating or parking, the most common distinguishing factor is whether an object is at an "Extreme End" or in the "Middle."

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept: For two parallel rows facing North where one row is behind the other:
1. Row 1 (Yellow line) is in front. 2. Row 2 (Blue line) is behind Yellow line. 3. "Opposite" means the car in the same column in the other row.

Step 1: Analyze H2 and H5. H5 is third to the right of H2. In a 4-car row, H2 must be at the extreme left and H5 at the extreme right. Let's place them in the Yellow line for now: Yellow: [H2] [_ ] [_ ] [H5]


Step 2: Analyze H3 and H4. H3 is second to the left of H4. H4 is not at an extreme end. This means H4 must be in the 3rd position from the left, and H3 in the 1st position. If H2 is at position 1 in Yellow, H3 must be in the Blue line: Blue: [H3] [_ ] [H4] [_ ]


Step 3: Place H1, H7, and H8. H7 (Blue line) is opposite H1. H4 and H1 are in different rows. Since H4 is in Blue, H1 must be in Yellow. H8 is not at an extreme end. Final Grid: Yellow Line (Front): [H2] [H8] [H1] [H5] Blue Line (Back): [H3] [H6] [H4] [H7]


Step 4: Find the odd one out. H2, H3, H6, and H5 are all at the extreme ends of their respective rows. H8 is in the middle of the row. Thus, H8 is the odd one out.

Question: 3

Which of the following cars is not parked in Yellow line?

Show Hint

If you are unsure of the whole grid, look for "fixed" clues. The prompt stated H7 is in the Blue line, so anyone linked to H7's row is also in the Blue line.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Step 1: Locate H3 and H4 in the Blue line. Blue Line: [H3] [H6] [H4] [H7]


Step 2: Calculate direction. Since both face North, "Right" is to the right of the page. From H3, moving one step right is H6, and the second step right is H4. Therefore, H4 is second to the right of H3.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Create a 2x4 grid to represent the Yellow and Blue lines. Both rows face North.

Step 1: Determine the positions from the previous analysis. Yellow Line (Front): [H2] [H8] [H1] [H5]
Blue Line (Back): [H3] [H6] [H4] [H7]


Step 2: Identify the opposite of H6. H6 is in the 2nd position of the Blue line. Looking directly in front of it in the Yellow line, we find H8. Re-evaluating based on "H5 third to right of H2" and "H8 middle": If H2 and H5 occupy the ends of the Yellow line, and H6 is in the Blue line, the car directly opposite H6 in the 2nd position is H8. (Note: If the options provided do not list H8, re-verify the relative shift of H3/H4).
