In an election several candidates contested for a constituency. In any constituency, the winning\u00a0candidate was the one who polled the highest number of votes, the first runner up was the one who\u00a0polled the second highest number of votes, the second runner up was the one who polled the third\u00a0highest number of votes, and so on. There were no ties (in terms of number of votes polled by the\u00a0candidates) in any of the constituencies in this election.\u00a0In an electoral system, a security deposit is the sum of money that a candidate is required to pay to the\u00a0election commission before he or she is permitted to contest. Only the defeated candidates (i.e., one\u00a0who is not the winning candidate) who fail to secure more than one sixth of the valid votes polled in the\u00a0constituency, lose their security deposits.<\/p>\n

The following table provides some incomplete information about votes polled in four constituencies: A, B,\u00a0C and D, in this election .<\/p>\n

\nInstructions<\/b><\/p>\n

A shopping mall has a large basement parking lot with parking slots painted in it along a\u00a0single row. 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 21:\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

Question 22:\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

Question 23:\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

Question 24:\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

\n5)\u00a0Answer:\u00a09<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s given in the question that the first runner up polled 10,000 more votes than the second runner up in constituency A. Now the first runner up has got 95000 votes, hence the second runner up will get 85000 votes.<\/p>\n

Now the remaining votes will be 500000-275000-95000-85000=45000<\/p>\n

From 2,\u00a0None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit. The difference in votes polled by any pair of candidates in this constituency was at least 10,000 => the person who got 5th highest votes must have got > 600030\/6 =>\u00a0$\\ge$ 100006. Since it is also given that the difference of votes is\u00a0$\\ge$ 10000, the only possible case is winner, 1st runner up, 2nd runner up, 3rd runner up, 4th runner up must have got 140006,130006,120006,110006,100006 respectively which sums upto exactly 600030.<\/p>\n

Let the number of votes polled in D be 100x.<\/p>\n

From 3, The winning candidate in constituency D must have got 15x+37500<\/p>\n

The table now looks like:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Total votes in A = 500000 => the candidates who got\u00a0$\\le$ 83333 must have lost their security deposits => candidates till 2nd runner up didn’t lose their deposit =>all the candidates who received 500000-275000-95000-85000=45000\u00a0<\/strong>lost their deposits.<\/p>\n

The percentage of votes polled in total by all the candidates who lost their security deposits while contesting for constituency A = 45000*100\/500000 =9%<\/p>\n

From 3, The winning candidate in constituency D must have got 5x+37500<\/p>\n

The table now looks like:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In constituency B, the mark for not losing the security deposit is 1\/6(325000) or 54,167.<\/p>\n

But winner himself\/herself got < 54167 => all the other candidates lost their security deposits.<\/p>\n

\n600030.<\/p>\n

From 3, Let the total votes in D be 100x => The winning candidate in constituency D must have got 37500+5x.<\/p>\n

The table now looks like:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The candidates who didn’t lose the deposit must have got <16.67% => 3rd runner up must surely didn’t get the deposit.
\nAlso,\u00a0 the candidates who got security deposit must have got 65% of votes.
\nCase I: <\/strong>
\nLet top three candidates got the security deposit => 37500+5x+37500+30000 =65x => x=1750 => 100x= 175000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Case II:
\nLet top three candidates got the security deposit => <\/strong>37500+5x+37500 =65x => 60x = 1250 => x=125000 but 16.66% of 125000 =20834\u00a0 => 2nd runner up must got security deposit. So, this case is not valid.
\n<\/strong>
\nThe increasing order C will always come after D which is not happening in the third option. Hence that is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

\n600030.<\/p>\n

From 3, The winning candidate in constituency D must have got 1.05*37500 = 39375.<\/p>\n

Let the number of votes polled in D be 100x.<\/p>\n

The table now looks like:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

As calculated in the previous question, candidate D got 175000 votes. The winner got 5% more votes than first runner up, hence the winner got 0.05*175000 i.e 8750 more votes than first runner up . Thus 8750 is the winning margin for constituency D. Moreover margin in constituency is atleast 10000 . Hence in the increasing order C will always come after D which is not happening in the third option. Hence that is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

For all the constituencies lets look at the candidates who lost their security deposit.<\/p>\n

A (500000-275000-95000-85000)=45000.<\/p>\n

B (325000-48750)=276250<\/p>\n

C (0) and D (61250)=175000-46250-30000-37500<\/p>\n

Hence percentage will be 382500\/1600000\u00d7 100=23.91%<\/p>\n

Maximum 9 red beads are possible as shown here<\/p>\n

13)\u00a0Answer:\u00a06<\/b><\/p>\n

To solve this question we can use the answer of the previous question, since maximum 9 red beads are possible, filling the remaining space with green and blue beads, in such a way that number of blue beads is minimised<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Hence number of blue beads is 6<\/p>\n

Let’s look at all the students we have A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. The guides are P,Q,R,S,T and they mentor 2,1,2,1,2 students respectively.<\/p>\n

Slots are 9:00,9:30,10:00,10:30 . Moreover economics, sociology and anthropology have 4,3,1 students respectively.<\/p>\n

Now from 5th statement, two sociology seminars and economics seminars are held in the same slot. This will not take place at 10:00(only one seminar is scheduled at 10:00), this will also not take place at 10:30( An anthropology seminar is scheduled at 10:30 and maximum three seminars are scheduled in a slot. Hence this will happen at either 9 or 9:30. Now from (7) A and G are scheduled in consecutive slots. A is scheduled at 10:00. Hence G will be scheduled at 9:30. SO from (5), there will be three students having their seminars at 9:30.<\/p>\n

Combining this data with the remaining points we get the following table<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Moreover we do know that students having same subject are scheduled in consecutive slots. So we get<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Here we can see that two seminars are scheduled in first slot.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at all the students we have A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. The guides are P,Q,R,S,T and they mentor 2,1,2,1,2 students respectively.<\/p>\n

Slots are 9:00,9:30,10:00,10:30 . Moreover economics, sociology and anthropology have 4,3,1 students respectively.<\/p>\n

\n17)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

As we can clearly say from here that H\/D\/E are all economics students. Hence Option B is definitely correct<\/p>\n

18)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n
<\/figure>\n

Now D is scheduled in a slot later than Q. Q can mentor only F or G, but obviously he can’t mentor F because F is in the last slot, hence Q will mentor G. In that scenario D has to take the 10:30 slot which means D will\u00a0 be mentored by R and E\/H will be mentored by T. So statement 1 and statement 2 both are correct.<\/p>\n

19)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n
<\/figure>\n

If E and Q are scheduled in the same slot, they both can be in the last slot. In that case E will be guided by R and both D and H will be guided by T.\u00a0 Moreover if they are in the second slot, E will be guided by T and atleast one of D and H will be guided by T. Hence option (c) is correct<\/p>\n

20)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n
<\/figure>\n

Now D is scheduled in the slot immediately before Q. In that case Q will be in the 9:30 slot and D will be in the 9:00 am slot. Hence D will be mentored by T and one of E\/H will be mentored\u00a0 by R and the other by T. Obviously E is guided by R is not necessarily true as he can be mentored by T also.<\/p>\n

following is the order of arrival and departure of cars<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

As we can see that car 2 and car 7 are parked next to car 3<\/p>\n

22)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/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

23)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/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

24)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/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
