Study the following information to answer the given questions.
Amongst five friends, A, B, C, D and E, each bought a mobile phone for a different price: A paid more than both C and e: Only B paid more than d: E did not pay the minimum amount. E paid Rs. 8,000 for the phone:
If D paid Rs. 17,000 more than the price paid by E, which of the following could possibly the amount paid by A?
Only B paid more than D, => D is the second highest spender and B paid the most.
A paid more than both C and E, => A > C,E
Also, E did not pay the least, => E, who paid Rs. 8,000 paid more than C.
=> B > D > A > E > C
Amount paid by D = 17,000 + 8,000 = Rs. 25,000
Since, A lies between D and E, thus A paid any amount that lies between Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 25,000
Only the second option satisfies above criteria, A could possibly pay Rs. 16,000
