Thus, the team is D, E, Q, R, S.

A company wants to select a team of four call centre executives from its South Indian centre for transfer to North India where they are going to set up a new centre. The company is managed by professional managers and is very particular about human resources and personnel relations. There are seven team members of equal ability X, Y and Z (who are senior), and A, B, C and D (who are junior). The company requires that there should be two senior executives and two junior executives in the team. It is also necessary that all of the executives in a particular team are friendly with each other in order to have a real team spirit and avoid any personnel relations problem in the new centre being set up in the North. Following is the situation of relations among the seven executives.

so the fourth member must be D.

a) A, E, P, Q, S, U

b) A, E, P, Q, T, U

Thus, the team is A, B, P, U, S.

Directions:
Read the information carefully and then answer the question based on that. At an electronic data processing unit, five out of the eight programme sets P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are to be operator daily. On anyone day, except for 1st day of the month, only three of the programme sets must be the ones that were operated on the previous day. The programme operation must also satisfy the following conditions.
    I. If programme P is to be operator on a day, V cannot be operator on that day.
    II. If Q is to be operator on a day, T must be one of the programmes to be operated after Q.
    III. If R is to be operated on a day, V must be one of the programmes to be operated after R.
    IV. The last programme to be operated on any day must be either S or U.

Question : 6

If R is operated at 3rd place in a sequence, which of the following cannot be 2nd programme in that sequence?

a) Q

b) S

c) T

d) U

e) W

Answer: (a)

If R is operated at 3rd place in a sequence, then V will be operated at fourth place and either S or U at last place. On the basis of this sequence, we see that Q cannot be operated at the second place because T cannot be operated after Q as there is no space left for T.
