The below graph depicts the maximum and minimum score obtained by 6 students Arhya, Aarthi, Ashu, Aanya, Ananya,
Aditi in 10 subjects numbered S1 ,S2 ,............S10 . For any two consecutive subjects, the score may either remain the
same or will change by 2.
Question 1
If all the students scored 26 in a Subject Sn. Then the maximum possible value of n is
Answer:7
Explanation:
The minimum and maximum scores obtained by the students are
So Arhya cannot score 20 in any of the subjects. Hence this case is negated.
Similarly lets try for S9
The maximum average score possible for a student be X and the minimum average score possible for a
student be Y. Then for how many students the value of X-Y is an integer?
Answer:3
Explanation:
The minimum and maximum scores obtained by the students are
The minimum avg value is obtained when they score minimum value in as many subjects as possible and the vice versa
for maximum average value.
Minimum value for Arhya :
Scores should be as follows :34,32,30,28,26,24,22,20,20,20 i.e 20 should be the score for the maximum number of
times.
Minimum avg. value =25.6
Question 3
Answer:2
Explanation:
The minimum avg value is obtained when they score minimum value in many subjects and the vice versa for maximum
average value.
Minimum value for Arhya :
Scores are as follows :34,32,30,28,26,24,22,20,20,20
Minimum avg.=25.6
For the maximum avg.
Scores are as follows:20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,34
Maximum avg value=28.4
Following the same procedure for all the six students,We get
Now we have check for the students who cannot maintain an average of 26
Sum of the marks in 10 subjects is 260
Arhya:
Min is 20 and Max is 34
Since she has to score the minimum and maximum score, all the scores in between them also will be scored.
Marks scored in 8 subjects will range from 20 to 34
(20+34)/2 x 8 + X = 260
216+X = 260
X=260-184=44
44 can be obtained in the rest two subjects either as 20,24 or 22, 22
Aanya:
Min score is 24 and Max score is 34
Sum of scores in 6 subjects=
6*29+X=260
X=86
Even if she scores 24 in the rest of the subjects she will notcross 86.
Hence Aanya cannot maintain an average of 26
Aarthi:
Min score is 18 and Maximum score is 32.
8*25+X=260
X=60
She can score 30 in the rest two subjects. Hence she can maintain an average of 26.
Aditi:
In subject S6 , the sum of the maximum and the minimum scores of Ananya is
Answer:46
Explanation:
The minimum and maximum scores obtained by the students are
The minimum avg value id obtained when they score minimum value in many subjects and the vice versa for maximum
average value.
Ananya:
Minimum score is 16, Maximum is 30

The first graph shows the salaries paid to individual team members (the legend depicting the three departments has
been omitted on purpose) while the second shows the salaries paid to the team of a department. Each member from a
department is paid the same salary. It is also given that the number of employees in each department over the years is
a distinct multiple of 10, but less than 130.
A Marketing
B Finance
C Technology
D Cannot be determined
Answer: B
Explanation:
We can make the following table of the approximate salaries of a team or individual salaries:
We can make the following table for individual score: the values in the table are approximate
We can make the following table for individual score: (approximate values)
Let us begin by looking at the team salaries during the year 2016. The salary earned by the finance department is over
200 but less than 300. The salary earned by the technology department is a little over 300 and the salary earned by the
marketing department is exactly 1100.
The individual salaries earned by x, y and z are close to 6, 4.5 and 10 respectively.
1100
If the individual salary earned by the marketing department was 6, then the number of people would have to be 6
Similarly, If the individual salary earned by the marketing department was 4.5, then the number of people would have to
1100
be 4.5 which is close to 244. This is far more than the maximum number of people in any team. (Has to be a multiple of
10 and less than 130, so the maximum people in any of the teams is 120)
Hence, the individual salary earned by the marketing department has to be 10. So, z must be the marketing
department.
The number of people in each team over the years can be any of the given numbers:
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120.
For the marketing department the individual salaries in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 are approximately 10, 7.5, 6.5, 2.5
For the marketing department, the team salaries are 1100, a little less than 400, close to 650, a little more than 200.
Now, 7.5*50=375, 7.5*60=450 and 7.5*40=300. So, there must be 50 people in the marketing team in 2017.
6.5*100=650, (110 has already been used) and 6.5*90=585. So, there must be 100 people in the marketing team
in 2018.
2.5*90=225, 2.5*80=200 and 2.5*100=250. So, there must be 90 people in the marketing team in 2019.
In year 2019 individual salary of Y is 2, the highest score of the team can be only 2 x 120 = 240 << 275. Thus y must
be the technology department.
Divide the values of Technology department in the two tables to find the approximate number of employees.
In 2019, 20/2= 10
Similarly, we can divide the values of Finance department in the two tables to find the approximate number of
employees:
Question 14
Answer:40
Explanation:
We can make the following table of the approximate salaries of a team or individual salaries:
We can make the following table for individual score: the values in the table are approximate
Let us begin by looking at the team salaries during the year 2016. The salary earned by the finance department is over
200 but less than 300. The salary earned by the technology department is a little over 300 and the salary earned by the
marketing department is exactly 1100.
The individual salaries earned by x, y and z are close to 6, 4.5 and 10 respectively.
1100
If the individual salary earned by the marketing department was 6, then the number of people would have to be 6
which is close to 183. This is far more than the maximum number of people in any team. (Has to be a multiple of 10 and
less than 130, so the maximum people in any of the teams is 120)
Similarly, If the individual salary earned by the marketing department was 4.5, then the number of people would have to
1100
be 4.5 which is close to 244. This is far more than the maximum number of people in any team. (Has to be a multiple of
10 and less than 130, so the maximum people in any of the teams is 120)
Hence, the individual salary earned by the marketing department has to be 10. So, z must be the marketing
department.
The number of people in each team over the years can be any of the given numbers:
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120.
For the marketing department the individual salaries in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 are approximately 10, 7.5, 6.5, 2.5
For the marketing department, the team salaries are 1100, a little less than 400, close to 650, a little more than 200.
Now, 7.5*50=375, 7.5*60=450 and 7.5*40=300. So, there must be 50 people in the marketing team in 2017.
6.5*100=650, (110 has already been used) and 6.5*90=585. So, there must be 100 people in the marketing team
in 2018.
2.5*90=225, 2.5*80=200 and 2.5*100=250. So, there must be 90 people in the marketing team in 2019.
In year 2019 individual salary of Y is 2, the highest score of the team can be only 2 x 120 = 240 << 275. Thus y must
be the technology department.
Divide the values of Technology department in the two tables to find the approximate number of employees.
In 2019, 20/2= 10
Similarly, we can divide the values of Finance department in the two tables to find the approximate number of
employees:
Question 15
What is the total number of employees in all three departments in the year 2017?

2.5*90=225, 2.5*80=200 and 2.5*100=250. So, there must be 90 people in the marketing team in 2019.
In year 2019 individual salary of Y is 2, the highest score of the team can be only 2 x 120 = 240 << 275. Thus y must
be the technology department.
Divide the values of Technology department in the two tables to find the approximate number of employees.
In 2019, 20/2= 10
Similarly, we can divide the values of Finance department in the two tables to find the exact number of employees:
We can see that in the year 2017 the number of employees in the Finance, Technology and Marketing are 80, 20 and 50
respectively.
=80+20+50=150
A Marketing department has the most number of employees in the year 2018.

Instructions
Rinesh and Rinsha have 150 marbles on the table. Each of them takes turns to pick marbles. They can pick at least two
and at most six marbles in each turn. It is known that both of them play intelligently.
If after Rinesh's turn, there is only one marble left on the table, then Rinsha will pick that one marble. The same is true
for Rinesh as well.
Question 21
Rinesh picks the first marble and the person who picks the last marble is the winner. What is the number
of marbles that Rinesh should pick in his first turn to ensure his win?
Answer:6
If there are 1 to 6 coins on the table, then it is a winning position, because a person can just pick them up and win.
If there are 7 or 8 coins on the table then it is a losing position. Even if you pick anything from 2-6, you will leave your
opponent in a winning position.
If there are 9-14 coins on the table then it is a winning position. For 9 you can pick 2 leaving the opponent with 7 which
is a losing position. For 10, you pick 3 and so on. For 14, you pick 6 leaving 8 on the table which is also a losing position.
Hence, all of 9-14 are winning positions.
If there 15 or 16 coins on the table, then it is a losing position. Even if you pick anything from 2-6, you will leave your
opponent in a winning position.
1-6 : win
7,8 : lose
9-14: win
17-22: win
So all 8x-1 and 8x positions are losing positions. So if Rinesh has to win, he has to leave his opponent in a losing
position. So he should leave 8k coins on the table such that 8k<150. The nearest multiple of 8 which is less than 150 is
144. Hence, if Rinesh leaves 144 coins on the table, Rinsha will lose. So he must pick 150-144= 6 coins
Rinsha picks the first marble and the person who picks the last marble is the loser. What is the minimum
number of marbles that Rinsha should pick in her first turn to ensure her win?
Answer:4
Explanation:
Since both of them play intelligently and the person who picks the last marble is the loser,
If it is Rinsha's turn to pick the marble, she will ensure that after he picks the marbles, the number of marbles left on the
table is either 1 or 2.
Since both of them play intelligently, Rinsha will always ensure to leave 8x+1 or 8x+2 marbles on the table after her
turn.
Ultimately, we left with 150-(8x+1) or 150-(8x+2) i.e.5,4 marbles respectively on the table.
But there is a condition that if there are less than 2 marbles on the table, then the opponent has to pick the marble.
Since we have to find the minimum number of marbles Rinsha should pick, so Rinsha will pick 4 marbles.
Question 23
If the number of marbles left on the table after a person’s turn is less than the minimum number of
marbles that a person can pick, then the game ends. Rinesh picks the first marble and the person who
picks the last marble is the winner. What is the minimum number of marbles that Rinesh should pick in his
first turn to ensure his win?
A 4
B 5
C 6
Answer: B
Explanation:
Since both of them play intelligently, and the person who picks the last marble is the winner, If it is Rinesh's turn to pick
the coin, he will
ensure that after he picks the marbles, the number of marbles left on the table is a multiple of 8.
In a single round, 8 marbles will be picked up both of them.
Ultimately, we left with 150-8x i.e.6 marbles on the table.
Since after a person's turn if there are less than 2 marbles on the table, then the game ends. If Rinesh picks five
marbles, then there will be one marble on the table, the game ends, Rinesh will be the winner.
If Rinesh picks six marbles, there he will try to make the number of marbles after his turn to be a multiple of 8, and he
will be the winner.
If the number of marbles left on the table after a person’s turn is less than the minimum number of
marbles that a person can pick, then that person has to pick all the coins. Rinsha picks the first marble and
the person who picks the last marble is the loser. What is the maximum number of marbles that Rinsha
should pick in her first turn to ensure her win?
A 6
B 5
C 4
D 3
Answer: C
Explanation:
Since both of them play intelligently, and the person who picks the last marble is the winner, If it is Rinesh's turn to pick
the coin, he will
ensure that after he picks the marbles, the number of marbles left on the table is a multiple of 8.
In a single round, 8 marbles will be picked up both of them.
Ultimately, we left with 150-8x i.e.6 marbles on the table.
Since after a person's turn if there are less than 2 marbles on the table,then he has to pick all the marbles. If Rinsha
picks five marbles, then there will be one marble on the table,Rinsha has to pick that marble as well. Rinesh will be the
winner.
If Rinsha picks four marbles, then there will be 2 marbles which Rinesh has to pick.
If Rinsha picks three marbles, then even if Rinesh picks two marbles in his turn since there are less than 2 marbles on
the table, Rinesh has to pick the third leftover marble aswell.
A 8*8*8 cube is numbered in such a way that in the lowermost layer the first row is numbered 1,2.....8 from left to right
and the next row is numbered 9,10....16 from right to left and so on. The next layer is numbered such that cube
numbered 65 is just above the cube numbered 1.This way the cubes are numbered till 512. Now the faces of the 8*8*8
cube with the cubes numbered 9 and 16 are painted in blue and the rest are painted red.
Question 25
The sum of the numbers on the face diagonal of the cube face having numbers 8 and 505 on it can be:
A 2042
B 2052
C 2049
D 2050
Answer: B
Explanation:
In the lowermost layer,
The faces of the cube with cubes numbered 9 and 16 are painted blue and the rest in red.
So there will be three faces which are painted red and three in blue.
Now the face of the cube numbered 9 and 16 are painted in blue and the rest in red.
So we have only one way of achieving this as below.
Question 26
Answer:120
Explanation:
We can classify the cubes as either inside the cube, on the face but not on the edge, on the edge but not in the corners
and 8 cubes in the corners.
In our case, all the 3 faces painted blue will have cubes of the 2nd type painted only in blue.
Also, the two edges between the 3 blue faces will also have cubes painted only in blue.
On each edge, we have to subtract 2 cubes at the corner which have one of their faces painted in red
Question 27
The sum of the numbers on the cubes which are painted on three faces is:
A 2488
B 2824
C 2052
D 2992
Answer: C
Explanation:
The cubes at the corners will have three faces painted.
Numbers on the cubes can be found out by using the lowermost layer
Total sum=(1+8+57+64)*2+7*64*4
=2052
The number of cubes which have at least two sides painted is:
A 70
B 80
C 64
D 72
Answer: B
Explanation:
The cube is of dimensions 8*8*8. The cubes on the edges and corners will have at least 2 faces painted.
The number of cubes on the edges =6(Since the two cornered ones will have all the three faces painted)
There are 12 edges
Therefore the number of cubes which have two sides painted=12*6=72
Number of cubes which have three faces painted =8 (All the cubes at the corners)
Total number of cubes =72+8=80
B is the correct answer.
