Reasoning Ability Quiz For LIC AAO Mains 2023-25th February

Directions (1-5): Read the following information carefully to answer the given questions.
Eight persons C, D, E, F, K, L, M and N are seated in a straight line, but not necessarily in the same order. Some of them are facing north while some are facing south. Each of them has different number of coins starting from 1 to 8.
Only one person sits to the left of K who has three coins. E sits third to the right of K. C who has seven coins, sits second to the left of E. C is not an immediate neighbour of K. Both the immediate neighbours of D face south. E has the same number of coins as the number of persons sitting to the right of E. F who has one coin sits third to the right of N. Both the immediate neighbours of C face north. L has two more coins than M. The immediate neighbours of K face opposite directions (i.e., if one neighbour faces north then the other faces south and vice versa.). C faces a direction opposite that of E. L is not an immediate neighbour of E. D has only two coins. M has twice the number of coins of the immediate neighbour of N.

Direction (11-15): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Six Cars i.e. A, B, C, D, E, F are standing in a row facing north at a distance which is a successive multiple of 4 in an increasing order from the left. Only two Cars are standing between B and C. Only two cars stand between the car which is standing Second to the right of car B and F. Car A stand next to E. Only two cars stand between Car E and D, which does not stand next to C. Total distance between the Car B and Car A is 36. Now, Car E is moving towards North direction and after going 10m, it turns to right and goes 18m. Then, it takes left turn and goes 10m and reach to point M. Car F is moving towards South direction and after going 15m it takes right turn and goes 8m to reach point K. Car A is moving towards south and after moving 15m it takes right turn and goes 40m to reach at point X.
