17. Nine persons – Ambani, Birla, Chandan, Diljit, Jaya Lalita, Farhan Qureshi, Gagan Arora, Hemant Mukherjee, Kaushal Vicky – are sitting in a straight line facing north, but not necessarily in the same order.

Birla is fourth to the left of Gagan Arora; Farhan Qureshi is fourth to the right of Chandan and second to the left of Kaushal Vicky, who is fifth to the right of Ambani. Diljit is not an immediate neighbour of either Kaushal Vicky or Birla. There are only three people between Jaya Lalita and Ambani. Gagan Arora is second to the right of Chandan

In which of the following combinations is the third person sitting between the first and the second person?

Jaya Lalita, Kushal Vicky, Birla

Jaya Lalita, Kushal Vicky, Birla

There are 9 persons Ambani (A), Birla (B), Chandan (C), Diljit (D), Jaya Lalita (J), Farhan Qureshi (F), Gagan Arora (G), Hemant Mukherjee (H) and Kaushal Vicky (K)

Let the initial sitting arrangement is

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

As F is fourth to the right of C and 2nd to the left of K who is 5th to the right of A.

Their arrangement has to be like this

C A _ _ F _ K

As G is 2nd to the right of C hence,

C A G _ F _ K

And B is 4th to the left of G

B _ C A G _ F _ K

As there are 3 people between J and A

So,

B _ C A G _ F J K

As, D is not a neighbour of K and B

Hence

B _ C A G D F J K

Hence the final arrangement is

B H C A G D F J K

Hence the answer is Farhan Quresi, Gagan Arora, Diljit

18. Numerous individuals believe that legalising prostitution will prevent deaths, enhance global health, boost tax revenue, assist people in escaping poverty, remove prostitutes from the streets, and allow consenting adults to make their own decisions. They argue that prostitution is a minor crime , as evidenced in locations where it is currently legal.

If true, which of the following propositions improves the supplied argument?

Studies show that legalized and regulated flesh trade brings lower rates of rape and sexual assault and also sex workers are better protected against abuse, exploitation and trafficking.

Many sex workers are fighting the legal status quo, social mores and also mainstream feminism, which has typically focused on saving women from the sex trade rather than supporting sex workers who demand greater rights.

8%

The argument states that legalizing prostitution will not only help reduce crime rates and improve public health but also will increase tax revenues and allow consenting adults make their own choices. Option C strengthens the argument by showing the study report that says legalized prostitution reduces number of rapes and other sex related crime also. All the other options weaken the argument by pointing out reasons why prostitution should not be legalized.
