A research lab in Chennai requires 100 mice and 75 sterilized cages for a certain set of
laboratory experiments . To identify the mice, the lab has prepared labels with numbers 1
to 100 , by combining tags numbered 0 to 9. The SPCA requires that the tags be made of
toxin-free material and that the temperature of the cages be maintained at 27 degree
Celsius. Also , not more than 2 mice can be caged together and each cage must be at least 2
sq.ft in area. The 5 experiments to be conducted by lab are to be thoroughly documented
and performed only after a round of approval by authorities. The approval procedure
takes around 48 hours. How many times is the tag numbered '4' used by the lab in
numbering these mice?

Francois Pachet , a researcher at Sony Computer Science laboratories is also a jazz
musician. He decided to build a robot able to improvise like a pro. Named Continuator, the
robot can duet with a live musician in real- time. It listens to a musical phrase and then
computes a complementary phrase with the same playing style. If the cost of making the
robot is divided between and then computes a complementary phrase with the same
playing style. If the cost of making the robot is divided between materials , labour and
overheads in the ratio of 4:6:2.If the materials cost $108. the cost of the robot is

Spores of a fungus, called late blight, grow and spread infection rapidly. These pathogens
were responsible for the Irish potato famine of the mid-19th century. These seem to have
attacked the tomato crops in England this year. The tomato crops have reduced and the
price of the crop has risen up . The price has already gone up to $45 a box from $27 a box a
month ago. How much more would a vegetable vendor need to pay to buy 27 boxes this
month over what he would have paid last month?

cubes than she really needed. She realized that she could have glued a fewer number of
cubes together to lock like a block with same dimensions, if it were made hollow. What is
the minimum number of cubes that she needs to make the block?

Alok and Bhanu play the following coins in a circle game. 99 coins are arranged in a circle
with each coin touching two other coin. Two of the coins are special and the rest are
ordinary. Alok starts and the players take turns removing an ordinary coin of their choice
from the circle and bringing the other coins closer until they again form a (smaller) circle.
The goal is to bring the special coins adjacent
to each other and the first player to do so wins the game. Initially the special coins are
separated by two ordinary coins O1 and O2. Which of the following is true ?
