• D. Cannot be determined
• A. Mahi and Nilesh
• B. Kuntala and Arun
• C. Rohit and Janki
• D. Arun and Rohit

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1 — Recall the order constraints:
- Saurav is the eldest child (1st).
- The first three children are sons.
- Then come two daughters.
- Janki is the youngest (8th).
- Rohit was born just before Janki (so Rohit is 7th).
- There are five sons total: Saurav, Mahi, Rohit, Nilesh, Arun.

Step 2 — Fill positions step by step:
1. Saurav = 1st (eldest son).
2. & 3. The next two births must also be sons → (Mahi and Nilesh) in some order = 2nd and 3rd.
4. & 5. Then come two daughters → (Kuntala 4th, Tamanna 5th).
6. Next in order is Arun, since he is still unplaced.
7. Rohit is specifically just before Janki → Rohit = 7th.
8. Janki is youngest = 8th.

Step 3 — Verify sequence:
1. Saurav (eldest).
2. Mahi.
3. Nilesh.
4. Kuntala (eldest daughter).
5. Tamanna.
6. Arun.
7. Rohit.
8. Janki (youngest).

Step 4 — Conclusion:
Arun is the 6th child of Mr. Mansingh.

Answer: The correct option is (C): 6^th.

Answer 2

Step 1 — School–sport rules & counts:
• Trinity offers chess only; Mansorover offers cricket only; “no other games” at these two.
• Exactly 3 at Trinity and 3 at St. Stefan; the remaining 2 are at Mansorover and were born in succession.

Step 2 — Fixed sports by child:
Mahi = cricket, Nilesh = cricket, Arun = football, Rohit = hockey, Kuntala = chess. (Tamanna, Saurav, Janki not yet assigned a sport.)

Step 3 — Place Mansorover (cricket only):
Since Mansorover only has cricket and its students were born consecutively, the natural pair is Mahi & Nilesh (both cricketers and consecutive in birth order). Thus, Mansorover = {Mahi, Nilesh}.

Step 4 — Place St. Stefan (given + compatibility):
Given: Tamanna and Rohit study at St. Stefan. Also, Arun (football) cannot be at Trinity or Mansorover (they don’t offer football), so Arun must also be at St. Stefan. Hence St. Stefan = {Tamanna, Rohit, Arun}.

Step 5 — Fill Trinity (chess only; 3 seats):
With Mansorover and St. Stefan filled, the remaining children are Saurav, Kuntala (already chess), and Janki. Trinity needs 3 students, all chess players. We already have Kuntala = chess; therefore the other two at Trinity must be Saurav and Janki (they must, by necessity, play chess to be at Trinity). Thus Trinity = {Saurav, Kuntala, Janki}.

Conclusion:
Saurav is a student of Trinity.

Answer: The correct option is (A): Trinity.

Answer 3

Step 1 — Recall Tamanna’s school:
It is directly stated that Tamanna studies at St. Stefan School.

Step 2 — School–sport restrictions:
- Trinity: chess only.
- Mansorover: cricket only.
- St. Stefan: no such game restriction mentioned (it allows students with other games like football, hockey, etc.).

Step 3 — Sports already assigned:
- Mahi = cricket (Mansorover).
- Nilesh = cricket (Mansorover).
- Arun = football (St. Stefan).
- Rohit = hockey (St. Stefan).
- Kuntala = chess (Trinity).
- Saurav = chess (Trinity).
- Janki = chess (Trinity).

Step 4 — Check Tamanna:
Tamanna is at St. Stefan. This school does not impose any specific sport, so she could play any game not already fixed. The passage does not give any direct clue about her game. Therefore, her sport cannot be determined from the given information.

Conclusion:
The game that Tamanna plays cannot be determined.

Answer: The correct option is (D): Cannot be determined.

Answer 4

Step 1 — Fix the birth order from the clues:
• Saurav is the eldest; Janki is the youngest; Rohit was born just before Janki.
• The first three births are sons; then come two daughters.
A consistent sequence (derived earlier) is:
1) Saurav, 2) Mahi, 3) Nilesh, 4) Kuntala, 5) Tamanna, 6) Arun, 7) Rohit, 8) Janki.

Step 2 — Understand “born in succession” (ignore order):
Two children are “in succession” if their birth positions differ by exactly 1 (adjacent in the list), regardless of who is older.

Step 3 — List all successive pairs implied by the order:
(Saurav, Mahi), (Mahi, Nilesh), (Nilesh, Kuntala), (Kuntala, Tamanna), (Tamanna, Arun), (Arun, Rohit), (Rohit, Janki).

Step 4 — Check the queried pair:
Kuntala is 4th and Arun is 6th. Their positions differ by 2, so they are not in succession.

Conclusion:
The pair that was not born in succession is Kuntala and Arun.

Answer: (B): Kuntala and Arun.
