Study the given information carefully to answer the given questions. Eight people – A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H live in eight different cities – Varanasi, Nashik, Chennai, Siliguri, Ujjain, Bhopal, Jaipur and Patna, but not necessarily in the same order. Each one of them also studies in one of the four classes – II, V, VIII and XI. Two people study in each of the given classes. ● A studies in an even numbered class. The one who lives in Ujjain studies with A. ● The one who lives in Varanasi and Jaipur study in the same class, but in a class lower than VIII. D studies in a class lower than that of the one who lives in Varansai. ● The one who lives in Nashik studies with H in the same class, but not in Class XI. D does not live in Nashik. ● B and G study in different classes. B lives neither in Jaipur nor in Nashik. G is senior to both B and H. Neither B nor the one who lives in Siliguri study in the same class as D. E lives in Siliguri. ● C is junior to F. The one who lives in Patna studies in an odd numbered class. ● Neither H nor D lives in Bhopal. The one who lives in Chennai is senior to the one who lives in Bhopal.

Four of the following five pairs of person and city are alike in a certain way based on the given arrangement. Identify the pair that does NOT belong to the group:

- A - Siliguri
- D - Bhopal
- C - Varanasi
- F - Chennai
- A - Patna

Question

Study the given information carefully to answer the given questions. Eight people – A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H live in eight different cities – Varanasi, Nashik, Chennai, Siliguri, Ujjain, Bhopal, Jaipur and Patna, but not necessarily in the same order. Each one of them also studies in one of the four classes – II, V, VIII and XI. Two people study in each of the given classes. ● A studies in an even numbered class. The one who lives in Ujjain studies with A. ● The one who lives in Varanasi and Jaipur study in the same class, but in a class lower than VIII. D studies in a class lower than that of the one who lives in Varansai. ● The one who lives in Nashik studies with H in the same class, but not in Class XI. D does not live in Nashik. ● B and G study in different classes. B lives neither in Jaipur nor in Nashik. G is senior to both B and H. Neither B nor the one who lives in Siliguri study in the same class as D. E lives in Siliguri. ● C is junior to F. The one who lives in Patna studies in an odd numbered class. ● Neither H nor D lives in Bhopal. The one who lives in Chennai is senior to the one who lives in Bhopal.

Four of the following five pairs of person and city are alike in a certain way based on the given arrangement. Identify the pair that does NOT belong to the group:

- A - Siliguri
- D - Bhopal
- C - Varanasi
- F - Chennai
- A - Patna

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. From the given conditions and analysis, the correct arrangement is:

| Person | Class | City    |
|--------|-------|---------|
| A      | II    | Bhopal  |
| D      | II    | Ujjain  |
| B      | V     | Varanasi|
| C      | V     | Jaipur  |
| F      | VIII  | Nashik  |
| H      | VIII  | Chennai |
| E      | XI    | Siliguri|
| G      | XI    | Patna   |

2. Now, check each pair:

- A - Siliguri: A lives in Bhopal, not Siliguri. So this pair is incorrect as stated.
- D - Bhopal: D lives in Ujjain, not Bhopal.
- C - Varanasi: C lives in Jaipur, not Varanasi.
- F - Chennai: F lives in Nashik, not Chennai.
- A - Patna: A lives in Bhopal, not Patna.

3. However, the question asks which pair does NOT belong to the group of four alike pairs.

4. The key is to identify the pattern among the pairs. The four pairs except "A - Patna" are all mismatched pairs where the person does not live in the city mentioned.

5. But "A - Patna" is the only pair where the person and city do not match and also the city Patna is assigned to G, not A.

6. Hence, "A - Patna" is the odd one out as it does not fit the pattern of the other pairs which are mismatched but share some other commonality (like class or city groupings).

**Answer:** A - Patna
