Solution: 5 - 8
Since at least one student from each stream does not buy the set of books, the
percentage of students buying the set of books can never be 100 in any
stream. If the percentage of students in Science stream buying the set of
books is less than or equal to 60 then the total number of students in Science
stream will have to be equal to or more than 540. This is not possible because
then the number of students from the remaining 3 streams will be less than or
equal to 360, which in turn will be less than the number of students buying the
sets of books from the other three streams. If the percentage of students in
Science stream buying the set of books is either 70 or 80, then the total
number of students in Science stream is not an integral multiple of 10.
Hence, the percentage of students buying the set of books in Science stream
must be 90 and the total number of students in Science stream must be 360.
Similarly, the percentage and the total number of students in the other streams
can be found out:

Since Chemistry books are purchased by the students of Science, Medical and
Arts stream only, the total number of Chemistry books bought by the students
of
Class XII = 324 + 216 + 126 = 666.
Correct Answer 5: a

Correct Answer 6: b

Correct Answer 7: b

The total number of students who buy G4 = 288 + 162 + 90 + 36 = 576

The total number of students who buy E3 = 216 + 189 + 72 = 477
Hence the difference is 576 – 477 = 99.

The given information can be tabulated as shown below.

Name Country 1st Preference 2nd Preference

Chaman X Y
Ravi Allahabad Y X
Imran FRS
Murly FRS
Firozpur CMP
Shilong ADC

Ajay and Sani cannot be from Shilong.

Chaman cannot be from Shilong since Ravi and Chaman have the same preferences, and had
Chaman been from Shilong, the second preference of Ravi would have been ADC, which is not
possible. Therefore, Murley is from Shilong.

This implies that ADC is the 2nd preference for sani. ADC cannot be any preference for Ajay, Ravi and
Chaman. Also, it cannot be the 2nd preference for imran, which contradicts statement (iii).

Therefore, Ajay is the Firozpur student whose second preference is CMP. This leaves IMC and SJK as
the only set of preferences possible for Chaman and Ravi. Also Chaman will be from Rurky, Imran
from Chennai and Sani from Indore.

Further analysis leads to the final table shown below.

Name Country 1st Preference 2nd Preference

Chaman Rurky IMC/SJK SJK/IMC
Ravi Allahabad SJK/IMC IMC/SJK
Imran Chennai FRS RPI
Murly Shilong ADC FRS
Ajay Firozpur RPI CMP
Sani Shilong CMP ADC
