2.
D) Here, 1st rule applies i.e. first digit
is even and the last digit is odd.
Hence code for 26350097 is $RALTTG@.
3.

3 persons are from Noida and Shubham operates alone] Hyderabad, Jamshedpur [it
starts at 00:00 while Sushil = Gupta + 4hrs} So, Sushil is from
Mangalore.
3 are from Noida, 2 are from Pune, 1 is from
Mangalore, 1 is from Hyderabad ⇒ 2 are from Jamshedpur ⇒ Rohith, Kushal are not from: Mangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Noida

5. Since, Sushil isn’t from Gupta, Oriental
and Sutnama. So, he’s either from Birla or Imperial. As, Sushil is lone person
from his city and the number of operator (s) trained in Imperial College =
number of operator(s) trained in Oriental College = 1.
Rest are from Birla
