In an 8 X 8 chessboard a queen placed anywhere can attack another piece if the piece is present in the same row, or in the
same column or in any diagonal position in any possible 4 directions, provided there is no other piece in between in the
path from the queen to that piece. The columns are labelled a to h (left to right) and the rows are numbered 1 to 8 (bottom
to top). The position of a piece is given by the combination of column and row labels. For example, position c5 means that
the piece is in cth column and 5th row.

If the queen is at c5, and the other pieces at positions c2, gl,
g3, g5 and a3, how many are under attack by the queen?

Twelve Hockey teams participated in Mens Pro league Hockey tournament. These teams were distributed equally into two
pools A and B. In the first round, each team played a match against all the other teams in its pool. Then three teams with
highest average points from each pool qualified for the second round where all the teams played against each other once.
Again, three teams with highest average points qualified for the final. In the final round, all the teams played a match
against each other and the one with the highest average points was declared to be the winner of the tournament. A winner of
any match gets two points, the loser loses one point and in case of a draw both the teams get one point each. Average points
of a team are defined as the total points earned by the team so far divided by the number of matches played by the team so
far.
The following table gives the total points earned and the average points for each team at the end of the tournament.

Also,

households with time. Property crimes consist of motor vehicle theft, theft and burglary. Fig 2 gives the number of violent
crimes per 1000 population with time. Violent following can be divisible into three categories – aggravated assault, simple
assault and robbery. The following facts are also given and may be used in answering the questions that follow.

1. The population of the USA between 1975 and 2050 is by the equation P= 2.3 (T-1950) + 157, where P is the
population in millions in the year T.
2. The number of persons per household can assumed to remain constant for the period 1975 to 2050.
