I. N1 is above N4 ; N7 is below N2 ; N5 is below N6 and N8 is below N3.
II. Top shelf has no Biology’s reference books; middle shelf has no Physics’ reference books and lowest shelf has no Chemistry’s reference books.
III. N5 and History’s reference books are not together; N8 and Chemistry’s reference books are not together; N6 and Physics’ reference books are not together; and N2 and Biology’s reference books are not together.
Which of the following reference books will always be together?

Detailed Solution:(N4, N7, N5, N8) will be in middle or the lowest shelf.

N2 and Biology reference book are not on one shelf
N2 is on top shelf.
Similarly N6 and N8 are on middle and the lowest shelves respectively.
N5 and History reference book are not on one shelf and N5 is in middle or the lowest shelf One of these shelves will also not have History reference book and that shelf will only have two reference book.
we can have two different arrangements:

From the 1st statement: B2 is now as old as B3 was in the past. Hence B2 is younger to B3 or B2 < B3. Also sometime in the past B1 was twice as old as B4. So B1 is elder to B4 or B1 > B4. B3 will be as old as B5 in future, hence B3 < B5. The second statement suggests: B1 > B6. B1 was as old as B7 in the past. Hence B1 > B7. B4 will be as old as B6 in future. Hence B6 > B4. B6 will be as old as B7 now in future. Hence B7 > B6. B7 was as old as B2, when B1 was as old as B7. Hence B1 = B2. Combining both the results, we get: and B5 > B3 > B2 = B1 > B7 > B6 > B4 (Note by B1 = B2, it is meant that they are of similar age group, not necessarily the same).
B5 is the eldest brother.
