There are seven colleagues – P, Q, R, S, T, U and V who get different salaries. Their salaries are 10000, 12000, 14000, 15000, 18000, 20000 and 22000 (not necessarily in the same order). V neither gets highest salary nor the lowest one. Only three people get the higher salary than S. P gets less salary than V and the difference between their salaries is Rs. 4000. T gets higher salary than U but lesser than R. U gets higher salary than Q. Q does not get a salary of Rs. 12000. Which of the following statement is true? Correct Answer Q gets Rs 10000 less salary than T. Seven Colleagues: P, Q, R, S, T, U and V. Rank: 10000, 12000, 14000, 15000, 18000, 20000 and 22000 (not necessarily in the same order). 1) V neither gets highest salary nor the lowest one. 2) Only three people get the higher salary than S. (So, S gets a salary of Rs. 15000.) Colleagues Salary P Q R S 15000 T U V 12000/14000/18000/20000 3) P gets less salary than V and the difference between their salaries is Rs. 4000. (Possible options are 10000, 14000. Two cases arise.) Case 1 Case 2 Colleagues Salary Colleagues Salary P 10000 P 14000 Q Q R R S 15000 S 15000 T T U U V 14000 V 18000 4) T gets higher salary than U but lesser than R. 5) U gets higher salary than Q. (R > T > U > Q) Case 1 Case 2 Colleagues Salary Colleagues Salary P 10000 P 14000 Q 12000 Q 10000 R 22000 R 22000 S 15000 S 15000 T 20000 T 20000 U 18000 U 12000 V 14000 V 18000 6) Q does not get a salary of Rs. 12000. (Thus, case 1 gets eliminated.) Final table is as follows: Colleagues Salary P 14000 Q 10000 R 22000 S 15000 T 20000 U 12000 V 18000 Hence, the statement ‘Q gets Rs. 10000 less salary than T’ is true.
