Answer Key with Explanation
Directions (1-5):
1) Answer: C
2) Answer: B
3) Answer: E
4) Answer: B
5) Answer: C
STEP I: Mayank was immediate senior to Kavita
but was junior to Harsha not immediate and
Harsha is a Colonel.
As per these statements, there are three
possible cases and in CASE I Mayank will be the
Major and Kavita will be the Captain and in
CASE II Mayank will be the Captain and Kavita
will be the Subedar and in CASE III Mayank will
be the Subedar and Kavita
will be the Havaldar and now the arrangement
will look like this:

STEP II: Only one designation is between Kavita
and the person who will retire in 2027.
As per this statement, CASE I will further get
split into one more case and in CASE I person
who will retire in 2027 will be Lt.Colonel and in
CASE I (A) person who will retire in 2027 will be
Havaldar and in CASE II person who will retire in
2027 will be Major and in CASE III person who
will retire in 2027 will be Captain and now the

STEP IV: Kavita will not retire in 2040. Kartik will
retire 10 years prior to Kavita. Kartik’s
designation is above Colonel. The Person who is
a Subedar is will retire at last.
As per these statements, it is clear that in terms
of years there is only one pair which has the
difference of 10 years that is 2028 and 2038, so
Kartik will retire in 2028 and Kavita will retire in
2038 and Kartik’s designation will be General
and CASE II will get eliminated because as per
CASE II and she will retire in 2038 which is not
possible because the person who is a Subedar
is will retire at last and now the arrangement will
look like this:

STEP V: Mayank will retire neither in 2040 nor in
2030.
As per this statement, we can say that Mayank
will retire in 2024 therefore caseIII will be
eliminated because the person who is a Subedar
is will retire at last and we will continue with
case I, and case IA arrangement will look like
this:
STEP VI: More than four persons are junior to
Kartik. Neither Sashwat nor Anish is a Lt.
Colonel. Harsha will retire before Anish but after
Sashwat who is not a Major.
As per these statements, it is clear that
Lt.Colonel is the post which will be vacant so
due to this reason CASE I will get eliminated and
we will continue with CASE I (A) and the final
arrangement will look like this:
