Let S be the set of all pairs (i, j) where, 1  i  j  n and n  4 . Any two distinct
members of S are called “friends” if they have one constituent of the pairs in

la
common and “enemies” otherwise. For example, if n = 4, then S = {(1, 2), (1, 3), (1,
4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4)}. Here, (1, 2) and (1, 3) are friends, (1, 2) and (2, 3) are also
friends, but (1, 4) and (2, 3) are enemies.

provides information about the number of students who failed in each of the courses in
the four sections. It also provides information about the total number of students and
the number of students who failed in two courses in each of the four sections. No
student failed in all the three courses.
