How to use it

Take it in one sitting with the timer on. That is under a minute a question, so skip anything that is taking too long and come back to it. After submitting, read every solution: each one sets out the logic step by step. Fix one person first (the clue with an exact position), draw the seats, and place the others clue by clue. In a circle where everyone faces the centre, left is clockwise; if someone faces outside or a row faces south, their left and right flip.

FAQs

Is there negative marking?

Yes. Each correct answer gets 1 mark and each wrong answer loses 0.25 marks, as in SSC CGL Tier 1. Unattempted questions score zero.

What level are the questions?

The first questions are at SSC MTS/RRB Group D level; the last ones match the harder questions in SSC CGL and bank prelims.

Can I retake the test?

Yes. Retake it after revising the methods in the solutions and compare your score and time.
