A chain of departmental stores has outlets in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata. TheΒ sales are categorized by its three departments - β€˜Apparel’, β€˜Electronics’, and β€˜Home DΓ©cor’. AnΒ Accountant has been asked to prepare a summary of the 2018 and 2019 sales amounts forΒ an internal report. He has collated partial information and prepared the following table.

The following additional information is known.
1. The sales amounts in the Apparel departments were the same for Delhi and Kolkata inΒ 2018.
2. The sales amounts in the Apparel departments were the same for Mumbai and BengaluruΒ in 2018. This sales amount matched the sales amount in the Apparel department for Delhi inΒ 2019.
3. The sales amounts in the Home DΓ©cor departments were the same for Mumbai and KolkataΒ in 2018.
4. The sum of the sales amounts of four Electronics departments increased by the sameΒ amount as the sum of the sales amounts of four Apparel departments from 2018 to 2019.
5. The total sales amounts of the four Home DΓ©cor departments increased by Rs 70 CroresΒ from 2018 to 2019.
6. The sales amounts in the Home DΓ©cor departments of Delhi and Bengaluru each increasedΒ by Rs 20 Crores from 2018 to 2019.
7. The sales amounts in the Apparel departments of Delhi and Bengaluru each increased byΒ the same amount in 2019 from 2018. The sales amounts in the Apparel departments ofΒ Mumbai and Kolkata also each increased by the same amount in 2019 from 2018.
8. The sales amounts in the Apparel departments of Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru in 2019Β followed an Arithmetic Progression.

In Home DΓ©cor departments of which cities were the sales amounts the highest in 2018Β and 2019, respectively?

In an election several candidates contested for a constituency. In any constituency, the winningΒ candidate was the one who polled the highest number of votes, the first runner up was the one whoΒ polled the second highest number of votes, the second runner up was the one who polled the thirdΒ highest number of votes, and so on. There were no ties (in terms of number of votes polled by theΒ candidates) in any of the constituencies in this election.Β In an electoral system, a security deposit is the sum of money that a candidate is required to pay to theΒ election commission before he or she is permitted to contest. Only the defeated candidates (i.e., oneΒ who is not the winning candidate) who fail to secure more than one sixth of the valid votes polled in theΒ constituency, lose their security deposits.

The following table provides some incomplete information about votes polled in four constituencies: A, B,Β C and D, in this election .

The following additional facts are known:

1. The first runner up polled 10,000 more votes than the second runner up in constituency A.
2. None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit. The difference in votes polled by anyΒ pair of candidates in this constituency was at least 10,000.
3. The winning candidate in constituency D polled 5% of valid votes more than that of the first runner up. All the candidatesΒ who lost their security deposits while contesting for this constituency, put together, polled 35% of the valid votes.

The winning margin of a constituency is defined as the difference of votes polled by the winner and that of the first runner up. Which of the following CANNOT be the list of constituencies, in increasing order of winning margin?

For all the four constituencies taken together, what was the approximate number of votes polled by all the candidates who lost their security deposit expressed as a percentage of the total valid votes from these four constituencies?

Twenty five coloured beads are to be arranged in a grid comprising of five rows and fiveΒ columns. Each cell in the grid must contain exactly one bead. Each bead is coloured eitherΒ Red, Blue or Green.Β While arranging the beads along any of the five rows or along any of the five columns, theΒ rules given below are to be followed:

1. Two adjacent beads along the same row or column are always of different colours.
2. There is at least one Green bead between any two Blue beads along the same row orΒ column.
3. There is at least one Blue and at least one Green bead between any two Red beadsΒ along the same row or column.

Every unique, complete arrangement of twenty five beads is called a configuration.

Two Red beads have been placed in β€˜second row, third column’ and β€˜third row,Β second column’. How many more Red beads can be placed so as to maximise theΒ number of Red beads used in the configuration?

The Humanities department of a college is planning to organize eight seminars, one for eachΒ of the eight doctoral students - A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Four of them are from Economics,Β three from Sociology and one from Anthropology department. Each student is guided by oneΒ among P, Q, R, S and T. Two students are guided by each of P, R and T, while one student isΒ guided by each of Q and S. Each student is guided by a guide belonging to their department.Β Each seminar is to be scheduled in one of four consecutive 30-minute slots starting at 9:00Β am, 9:30 am, 10:00 am and 10:30 am on the same day. More than one seminars can beΒ scheduled in a slot, provided the guide is free. Only three rooms are available and hence atΒ the most three seminars can be scheduled in a slot. Students who are guided by the sameΒ guide must be scheduled in consecutive slots.

The following additional facts are also known.

1. Seminars by students from Economics are scheduled in each of the four slots.
2. A’s is the only seminar that is scheduled at 10:00 am. A is guided by R.
3. F is an Anthropology student whose seminar is scheduled at 10:30 am.
4. The seminar of a Sociology student is scheduled at 9:00 am.
5. B and G are both Sociology students, whose seminars are scheduled in the same slot. TheΒ seminar of an Economics student, who is guided by T, is also scheduled in the same slot.
6. P, who is guiding both B and C, has students scheduled in the first two slots.
7. A and G are scheduled in two consecutive slots.

Which one of the following statements is true?

If D is scheduled in a slot later than Q's, then which of the following two statement(s)Β is(are) true?
(i) E and H are guided by T.
(ii) G is guided by Q.

If E and Q are both scheduled in the same slot, then which of the following statementsΒ BEST describes the relationship between D, H, and T?

If D is scheduled in the slot immediately before Q’s, then which of the following is NOTΒ necessarily true?

A shopping mall has a large basement parking lot with parking slots painted in it along aΒ single row. These slots are quite narrow; a compact car can fit in a single slot but an SUVΒ requires two slots. When a car arrives, the parking attendant guides the car to the firstΒ available slot from the beginning of the row into which the car can fit.

For our purpose, cars are numbered according to the order in which they arrive at the lot. ForΒ example, the first car to arrive is given a number 1, the second a number 2, and so on. ThisΒ numbering does not indicate whether a car is a compact or an SUV. The configuration of aΒ parking lot is a sequence of the car numbers in each slot. Each single vacant slot isΒ represented by letter V.

For instance, suppose cars numbered 1 through 5 arrive and park, where cars 1, 3 and 5 areΒ compact cars and 2 and 4 are SUVs. At this point, the parking lot would be described by theΒ sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. If cars 2 and 5 now vacate their slots, the parking lot would now beΒ described as 1, V, V, 3, 4. If a compact car (numbered 6) arrives subsequently followed by anΒ SUV (numbered 7), the parking lot would be described by the sequence 1, 6, V, 3, 4, 7.

Answer the following questions INDEPENDENTLY of each other.

Initially cars numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 arrive among which 1 and 4 are SUVs while 2 andΒ 3 are compact cars. Car 1 then leaves, followed by the arrivals of car 5 (a compact car)Β and car 6 (an SUV). Car 4 then leaves. Then car 7 (an SUV) and car 8 (a compact car)Β arrive. At this moment, which among the following numbered car is parked next to carΒ 3?

Suppose eight cars have arrived, of which two have left. Also suppose that car 4 is aΒ compact and car 7 is an SUV. Which of the following is a POSSIBLE currentΒ configuration of the parking lot?

Suppose the sequence at some point of time is 4, 5, 6, V, 3. Which of the following isΒ NOT necessarily true?

Suppose that car 4 is not the first car to leave and that the sequence at a time betweenΒ the arrival of the car 7 and car 8 is V, 7, 3, 6, 5. Then which of the following statementsΒ MUST be false?
