NIMCET 2014 — Reasoning PYQ

Given:

• Executives: CEO, President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer.

• Car Colors: Yellow, Green, Purple, Red, and Blue.

• Names: Alice, Bert, Cheryl, David, and Enid.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

• Step 1: Identify the CEO's Position and Car

  According to the designation order, the CEO is top level and occupies the first parking space. The car in the first space is Red.

  $$\text{CEO}=\text{First Space}=\text{Red Car}$$

• Step 2: Determine Name Placement from Clues

  • David is at the last place (5th space).

  • Alice is parked next to David, which means Alice is in the 4th space.

  • Bert's car is not in the first space.

  • Enid drives the Green car (3rd space).

  • Bert's car is between Cheryl's and Enid's. Since Enid is 3rd, the only way Bert can be "between" two people is if he is 2nd.

  • This leaves the 1st space (CEO) for Cheryl.

Final Mapping:

Conclusion:

Hence, Cheryl is the CEO.
