In an event, eight races were organized.

In each race, four runners from four different states - Bihar, UP, MP and WB -
participate and only one of them emerged as winner. For each of the eight races, at least four of the five persons - P, Q, R, S
and T - predicted state which would win that race. Following table gives the predictions made by person for the eight races.

How many correct predictions did S make?

What was the amount gained by P at the end of


the eight races?

In how many of the races was the winner not


predicted by any of the persons?

How many wrong predictions did Q make?

For example, 'R' predicted UP to win Race 1, whereas P and T predicted MP to win Race 1 and no one predicted Bihar to win
Race 1. It is also known that:
(i) A person got Rs. 6000 for a correct prediction and lost Rs. 2000 for a wrong prediction.
(ii) At the end of the eight races, Q earned the maximum amount of Rs. 32000. T neither gained nor lost any amount.
(iii) Had 'R' made one more correct prediction and Q made one more wrong prediction, the amounts gained by them at the
end of the eight races would have got interchanged.
(iv) At the end of the eight races, it was observed that had any person predicted that a single state would wi all the eight races
he would not have gained or lost any amount.
