PART C: Analytical Reasoning

Directions: All sample analytical reasoning questions are based on a passage or set of conditions. While answering a few of the sample analytical reasoning questions, you would find it useful to draw a rough diagram. To answer any question, choose the answer you think is most appropriate among the given options.

Q-7-9: Three men (Tom, Peter and Jack) and three women (Eliza, Anne and Karen) are spending a few months at a hillside. They are to stay in a row of nine cottages, each one living in his or her own cottage. There are no others staying in the same row of houses. Anne, Tom and Jack do not want to stay in any cottage, which is at the end of the row. Eliza and Anne are unwilling to stay besides any occupied cottage. Karen is next to Peter and Jack. Between Anne and Jacks cottage there is just one vacant house. None of the girls occupy adjacent cottages. The house occupied by Tom is next to an end cottage.
