These slots are quite narrow; a compact car can fit in a single slot but an SUV\u00a0requires two slots. When a car arrives, the parking attendant guides the car to the first\u00a0available slot from the beginning of the row into which the car can fit.<\/p>\n For our purpose, cars are numbered according to the order in which they arrive at the lot. For\u00a0example, the first car to arrive is given a number 1, the second a number 2, and so on. This\u00a0numbering does not indicate whether a car is a compact or an SUV. The configuration of a\u00a0parking lot is a sequence of the car numbers in each slot. Each single vacant slot is\u00a0represented by letter V.<\/p>\n For instance, suppose cars numbered 1 through 5 arrive and park, where cars 1, 3 and 5 are\u00a0compact cars and 2 and 4 are SUVs. At this point, the parking lot would be described by the\u00a0sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. If cars 2 and 5 now vacate their slots, the parking lot would now be\u00a0described as 1, V, V, 3, 4. If a compact car (numbered 6) arrives subsequently followed by an\u00a0SUV (numbered 7), the parking lot would be described by the sequence 1, 6, V, 3, 4, 7.<\/p>\n Answer the following questions INDEPENDENTLY of each other.<\/p>\n Question 1:\u00a0<\/b>Suppose that car 4 is not the first car to leave and that the sequence at a time between\u00a0the arrival of the car 7 and car 8 is V, 7, 3, 6, 5. Then which of the following statements\u00a0MUST be false?<\/p>\n a)\u00a0Car 2 is a compact.<\/p>\n b)\u00a0Car 7 is a compact.<\/p>\n c)\u00a0Car 4 is an SUV.<\/p>\n d)\u00a0Car 6 is a compact.<\/p>\n 1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Here we can see that cars 3 and 5 are still in their position. Thus car 4 was not the first car to leave, either 1 or 2 left before 4. Let’s say only car 2 left before car 4. Now supposingly if car 2 is an SUV, car 6 was parked in that lot. Thus car 2 and car 7 are compact cars. Option 4 is correct.<\/p>\n Question 2:\u00a0<\/b>Suppose the sequence at some point of time is 4, 5, 6, V, 3. Which of the following is\u00a0NOT necessarily true?<\/p>\n a)\u00a0Car 4 is a compact.<\/p>\n b)\u00a0Car 1 is an SUV.<\/p>\n c)\u00a0Car 3 is an SUV<\/p>\n d)\u00a0Car 5 is a compact.<\/p>\n 2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n The original sequence as given in the question is 4,5,6,V,3<\/p>\n This is possible when cars 1,2,3 arrived and then cars 1 and 2 leave. After that cars 4,5 and 6 arrive.<\/p>\n Now there are 4 slots to the left of car 3. This is only possible when cars 1 and 2 were SUVs. Now out of these 4 slots,<\/p>\n 3 slots are occupied by cars 4,5 and 6. As a result these are compact cars . Car 3 can be a SUV or a Compact car and it won’t impact the final solution.<\/p>\n Question 3:\u00a0<\/b>Suppose eight cars have arrived, of which two have left. Also suppose that car 4 is a\u00a0compact and car 7 is an SUV. Which of the following is a POSSIBLE current\u00a0configuration of the parking lot?<\/p>\n a)\u00a08, 2, 3, V, 6, 5, 7<\/p>\n b)\u00a0V, 2, 3, 7, 5, 6, 8<\/p>\n c)\u00a08, 2, 3, V, 5, 7, 6<\/p>\n d)\u00a08, 2, 3, V, 5, 6, 7<\/p>\n 3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Let’s look at option 4.<\/p>\n Order of cars is 8,2,3,V,5,6,7. This sequence is easily possible.<\/p>\n Let’s say cars 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 arrive one after the another.<\/p>\n Now Car 1 leaves and Car 8 takes that place.<\/p>\n Finally Car 4 leaves. Hence we can see that this combination of cars is possible<\/p>\n Question 4:\u00a0<\/b>Initially cars numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 arrive among which 1 and 4 are SUVs while 2 and\u00a03 are compact cars. Car 1 then leaves, followed by the arrivals of car 5 (a compact car)\u00a0and car 6 (an SUV). Car 4 then leaves. Then car 7 (an SUV) and car 8 (a compact car)\u00a0arrive. At this moment, which among the following numbered car is parked next to car\u00a03?<\/p>\n a)\u00a08<\/p>\n b)\u00a05<\/p>\n c)\u00a06<\/p>\n d)\u00a07<\/p>\n 4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n following is the order of arrival and departure of cars<\/p>\n As we can see that car 2 and car 7 are parked next to car 3<\/p>\n Instructions<\/b><\/p>\n Twenty five coloured beads are to be arranged in a grid comprising of five rows and five\u00a0columns.

When an employee first joins the lab, her fingers are scanned in an order of her choice, and then when she wants to re-enter the facility, she has to scan the five fingers in the same sequence. Question 9:\u00a0<\/b>The lab has decided to allow a variation in the sequence of scans of the five fingers so that at most two scans (out of five) are out of place. For example, if the original sequence is Thumb (T), index finger (I), middle finger (M), ring finger (R) and little finger (L) then TLMRI is also allowed, but TMRLI is not. 9)\u00a0Answer:\u00a011<\/b><\/p>\n View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Let the original sequence be TIMRL<\/p>\n Two fingers can be out of place. This can be done if and only if two fingers interchange their position. These two can be selected in $^5C_2 = 10$ ways. In addition to these, the original sequence will also be accepted. Hence the total number of acceptable sequences = 10 + 1 = 11<\/p>\n Question 10:\u00a0<\/b>The lab has decided to allow variations of the original sequence so that input of the scanned sequence of five fingers is allowed to vary from the original sequence by one place for any of the fingers. Thus, for example, if TIMRL is the original sequence, then ITRML is also allowed, but LIMRT is not. a)\u00a07<\/p>\n b)\u00a05<\/p>\n c)\u00a08<\/p>\n d)\u00a013<\/p>\n 10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Input of the scanned sequence of five fingers is allowed to vary from the original sequence by one place for any of the fingers. This can be achieved only when two consecutive fingers are interchanged. Let the original sequence be TIMRL Including the original sequence, we get the total number of allowed combinations as 8<\/p>\n Question 11:\u00a0<\/b>The lab has now decided to require six scans in the pass key sequence, where exactly one finger is scanned twice, and the other fingers are scanned exactly once, which can be done in any order. For example, a possible sequence is TIMTRL. 11)\u00a0Answer:\u00a015<\/b><\/p>\n View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n There can be two scans out of place.<\/p>\n TIMTRL is the original sequence.<\/p>\n If T is interchanged: There will be four ways: ITMTRL, MITTRL, RIMTTL, LIMTRT<\/p>\n If I is interchanged: There will be four ways<\/p>\n If M is interchanged: There will be three ways<\/p>\n If T is interchanged: There will be two ways<\/p>\n If R is interchanged: There will be one way<\/p>\n Total 14.<\/p>\n Another sequence allowed is original, So total 15 ways.<\/p>\n Question 12:\u00a0<\/b>The lab has now decided to require six scans in the pass key sequence, where exactly one finger is scanned twice, and the other fingers are scanned exactly once, which can be done in any order.

In code as well only digit ‘5’ is common in two codes. Hence, we can say that letter code for letter ‘e’ is 5. Consequently, we can say that leftover letter, in word “the”, ‘H’s code is 4.<\/p>\n We can see that code for word “NATIONAL” is 13666689. Hence, we can say that code\u00a0for the letter L is ‘1’.<\/p>\n We can see that code for word “DESIGNATED” is 1135556678. Hence, we can say that code\u00a0for the letter ‘G’ is ‘7’.<\/p>\n We can see that code for word “PEACOCK” is 5688999. Hence, we can say that code\u00a0for the letters ‘P’ and ‘K’ is ‘8’.<\/p>\n Digit ‘1’ is used for L and D only. We can not figure out the third letter for which digit 1 is used.<\/p>\n Digit ‘2’ is not used for any letter. Hence, we can not figure out all the letters for which digit 2 is correct code.<\/p>\n Digit ‘3’ is used for letter ‘I’ only. Hence, we can not figure out all the letters for which digit 3 is correct code.<\/p>\n Digit ‘4’ is used for letters ‘H’ and one of ‘B’ and ‘R’. Hence, we can not figure out all the letters for which digit 4 is correct code.<\/p>\n Digit ‘5’ is used for letters ‘S’ and ‘E’. We can not figure out the third letter for which digit 5 is used.<\/p>\n Digit ‘6’ is used for letters ‘A’ and ‘N’.\u00a0We can not figure out the third letter for which digit 6 is used.<\/p>\n Digit ‘7’ is used for letters ‘G’ and ‘F’.\u00a0We can not figure out the third letter for which digit 7 is used.<\/p>\n Digit ‘8’ is used for letters ‘T’, ‘P’ and K. Hence, we can say that this is one of the digit for which\u00a0the complete list of letters associated is known.<\/p>\n Digit ‘9’ is used for letters ‘C’ and ‘O’. Hence, we can say that this is one of the digit for which\u00a0the complete list of letters associated is known.<\/p>\n Therefore, we can say that for only two digits (8 and 9), the complete list of letters associated is known. Hence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n Question 20:\u00a0<\/b>Which set of letters CANNOT be coded with the same digit?<\/p>\n a)\u00a0S,E,Z<\/p>\n b)\u00a0I,B,M<\/p>\n c)\u00a0S,U,V<\/p>\n d)\u00a0X,Y,Z<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/media\/uploads\/image_2020-12-31_200209.png\")

\nThe lab authorities are considering some relaxations of the scan order requirements, since it is observed that some employees often get locked-out because they forget the sequence.<\/p>\n
\nHow many different sequences of scans are allowed for any given person’s original scan?<\/p>\n
\nHow many different sequences are allowed for any given person’s original scan?<\/p>\n
\nCase 1: Only a set of two consecutive numbers are interchanged.
\nThey can be selected in 5-1 = 4 ways
\nCase 2: Two sets of two consecutive numbers are interchanged.
\n(i) TI are interchanged, => (MR, RL) => 2 ways
\n(ii) IM are interchanged => (RL) => 1 way
\nTotal no of ways possible = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7<\/p>\n
\nSuppose the lab allows a variation of the original sequence (of six inputs) where at most two scans (out of six) are out of place, as long as the finger originally scanned twice is scanned twice and other fingers are scanned once.

\na: The scheme is case-insensitive (does not distinguish between upper case and lower case letters).
\nb: Each letter has a unique code which is a single digit from among 1,2,3, \u2026, 9.
\nc: The digit 9 codes two letters, and every other digit codes three letters.
\nd: The code for a word is constructed by arranging the digits corresponding to its letters in a non-decreasing sequence.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
