Question

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 Varanasi.
- 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.

Question: In which class does H study?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. A studies in an even numbered class (II, V, VIII, XI). Since only II and VIII are even, A studies in either II or VIII.

2. The person living in Ujjain studies with A, so both share the same class.

3. Varanasi and Jaipur residents study in the same class, which is lower than VIII, so they must be in class II or V.

4. D studies in a class lower than the one who lives in Varanasi.

5. Nashik resident studies with H in the same class, but not in XI. Also, D does not live in Nashik.

6. B and G study in different classes; B does not live in Jaipur or Nashik.

7. G is senior to both B and H, so G's class is higher than theirs.

8. Neither B nor the Siliguri resident study in the same class as D.

9. E lives in Siliguri.

10. C is junior to F.

11. Patna resident studies in an odd numbered class (II and VIII are even, so V or XI).

12. Neither H nor D lives in Bhopal.

13. Chennai resident is senior to Bhopal resident.

**By analyzing these clues and testing the two possible cases for A's class:**

- Case 1: A studies in class II.
  - Then Ujjain resident is also in II.
  - Varanasi and Jaipur residents are in the same class lower than VIII (so II or V).
  - D studies in a class lower than Varanasi's class.
  - This leads to contradictions with other conditions.

- Case 2: A studies in class VIII.
  - Ujjain resident is in VIII with A.
  - Varanasi and Jaipur residents are in class II (lower than VIII).
  - D studies in class II (lower than Varanasi's class).
  - Nashik resident studies with H in the same class (VIII), but not XI.
  - This fits all conditions.

Therefore, H studies in class VIII.

**Answer:** VIII
