Title: CAT 2022 Slot 1 - L RDI (Logic, Reasoning, Data Interpretation)
Content: Solution to an Indian Game/Exam-Based Logic Puzzle
Problem Statement (Hypothetical Example):
In the game "CAT Quest 2022," players must solve a logic puzzle to unlock Level 1. The puzzle involves arranging 4 characters (A, B, C, D) in a 4-story building with specific constraints:
Residential Rules:
Each floor (1-4) has one character.
A is above B by two floors.
C is not on the top floor.
D is on the first floor.
Career & Color Rules:
The doctor (C) loves blue.
The engineer (A) cannot be on the same floor as the teacher.
The lawyer (D) is on the first floor.
The teacher is on an even-numbered floor.
Task:
Determine each character’s floor, career, and favorite color.
Solution:
Step 1: Assign Floors Using Constraints
From rule 2(L): D is on Floor 1.
From rule 1(A): A is two floors above B. Possible pairs: (Floor 3 & 1) or (Floor 4 & 2).
Since Floor 1 is occupied by D, A must be on Floor 3 and B on Floor 1 → Contradiction.
Thus, A is on Floor 4 and B on Floor 2.
Remaining floors: C on Floor 1 (but D is already there). Wait—recheck.
Correction: After assigning D to Floor 1, A and B must be on Floor 4 and 2.
C cannot be on Floor 4 (rule 1C), so C is on Floor 3.
Final Floor Assignments:
| Floor | Character |
|-------|-----------|
| 1 | D |
| 2 | B |
| 3 | C |
| 4 | A |
Step 2: Assign Careers & Colors
From rule 2(C): C is the doctor (Career) and loves blue (Color).
From rule 2(A): A is the engineer.
Remaining careers: Teacher and Lawyer.
From rule 2(L): Lawyer is D (on Floor 1).
From rule 2(A): Engineer (A) cannot be with Teacher → Teacher must be on Floor 2 (B).
Remaining: B is the teacher.
Step 3: Assign Colors
C (doctor): Blue (given).
D (lawyer): Red (common default).
A (engineer): Green (remaining).
B (teacher): Yellow (remaining).
Answer Table:

Green
B
2
Teacher
Yellow
C
3
Doctor
Blue
D
1
Lawyer
Red
Key Takeaways:
Logical Floor Deduction: Prioritize fixed constraints (e.g., D on Floor 1).
Career-Color Mapping: Use given associations (doctor=blue) to eliminate options.
Contradiction Check: Revise assumptions if initial assignments clash.
This structure mirrors typical CAT exam or Indian puzzle logic, balancing constraints and step-by-step elimination. Adjust the example if your actual problem differs!
