QUESTION - 1

As he swam deeper, Mario bumped into Old Man

Octopops, who, like his friend, Mr. Quacky Duck, is very
fond of puzzles and weird games. (i) Firstly, Octopops
gives Mario to control three ‘squid’ pieces, while he
himself controls a single ‘shark’ piece. Initially, all four
pieces are placed somewhere along a straight line. They
take turns making moves, with Mario going rst. Each
move, a player is allowed to move one of his pieces a
distance of at most one unit along the straight line.
Octopops wins if his ‘shark’ piece can catch one of the
‘squid’ pieces. (ii) The same game is now played on a
two-dimensional plane instead of a straight line. The
rules are the same, except now Mario is given 20 ‘squid’
pieces. Can Octopops always win? Answer for both the
questions.

Swimming further, he could feel something sucking the

water out of the sea. He saw a huge 6ft × 6ft hole
dug, which was pulling all the water. He has to ll it with
some 2 × 2 square tiles and some 4 × 1 rectangular
tiles. After arranging the tiles to cover the lava perfectly
without overlap, excess pressure caused one of the tiles
to smash. Unfortunately, the only spare tile is of the
other shape to the one smashed. Will Mario be able to
rear- range the remaining unsmashed tiles to perfectly
cover the hole again?

QUESTION - 13

A long and exciting journey lay ahead! The rst stop was
at Cerulean City. Max made his way to the Gym to take
on Misty, the Gym Leader. However, to battle her, he rst
had to battle his way through a maze of trainers. The
rules and the map of the maze are given below.
Start from the top middle, in the direction of the solid
black arrow. Return to the top, in the reverse direction.
At each node, the angle of departure must be different
from the last i.e., never use straight, soft or sharp twice
in a At each node, the trainer is replaced once he/she is
beaten. How many trainers did he have to face before he
could battle Misty?
After battling his way through a horde of trainers, Max
nally made his way out of the maze. He now faced
Misty. He however got a brief break before he had to
battle her, to recover. Soon, the battle for the Cascade
badge began. The battle was intense, with Misty’s Staryu
recovering from everything Max was throwing at it. It
wasn’t until he discovered that water type had a
weakness towards electricity that Max got ahead. After
a thrilling battle, Max defeated Misty and earned the
Cascade Badge! Two badges collected, 6 more to go!
Next is a trip to Vermillon City. The path to the gym
however, is blocked by a tree. As Max stands there
wondering what to do, a bystander tells him they know a
trainer who can teach Pokémon to use Cut, which can
help him get to the gym. The trainer is however pre-
occu- pied with deciding an arrangement for the tents.
Max decides to help him to make his work easier.

QUESTION - 14

Attach a tent to each tree, in a horizontally or vertically

adjacent cell. Cells with tents do not touch each other,
not even diagonally. Numbers outside the grid indicate
the number of tents in that row or column.The
numbering of odd, even squares starts from the bottom
left corner. Odd rows are given the value of 1, and even
rows are given the value of 2. Similarly, odd columns are
given a value of 1, and even columns are given a value
of two. The value of a cell is the product of its row value
and column value. What is the sum of values of all cells
that have a tent in it?
Now having gured out the tent arrangement, the trainer
happily teaches Max’s Bulbasaur a new move, Cut. Now
armed with the new move, Max makes his way to the
Vermillon City gym after clearing the tree in front of it
using his new move. He now faces Lt. Surge and his

After receiving the lamp, Aladdin and Abu are on their

way to get out from the cave when they found a statue
of Sir Hussain, one of the most powerful Royal General
to walk on Earth. Below the statue is written a real life
problem that Sir Hussain solved and in order to get out
of the cave one must solve this riddle. Aladdin out of
options starts reading the riddle- Once upon a time in
the Kingdom far far away lived Sir Hussain, the chief
Royal General. He was very proud of his men and he
liked to invite the King to come and watch drill exer-
cises which demonstrated the ghting techniques and
tactics of the squad he was in charge of. But time went
by and one-day Sir Hussain had a major argument with
an old witch (there were rumours that the argument
occurred after the general spoke badly of the witch
ying techniques. That seemed to hurt the old witch
very deeply). As the result of the argument, the witch put
a rather strange curse upon the general. It sounded all
complicated and quite harmless: "If the squared
distance between some two soldiers equals to 5, then
those soldiers will con ict with each other!" The drill
exercises are held on a rectangular n × m eld, split into
nm square 1 × 1 segments for each soldier. Thus, the
square of the distance between the soldiers that stand
on squares (x1 , y1 ) and (x1 , y2 ) equals exactly
2 2
(x1 − x2 ) + (y1 − y2 ) . Now not all nm squad

QUESTION - 36

After receiving the lamp, Aladdin and Abu are on their

way to get out from the cave when they found a statue
of Sir Hussain, one of the most powerful Royal General
to walk on Earth. Below the statue is written a real life
problem that Sir Hussain solved and in order to get out
of the cave one must solve this riddle. Aladdin out of
options starts reading the riddle- Once upon a time in
the Kingdom far far away lived Sir Hussain, the chief
Royal General. He was very proud of his men and he
liked to invite the King to come and watch drill exer-
cises which demonstrated the ghting techniques and
tactics of the squad he was in charge of. But time went
by and one-day Sir Hussain had a major argument with
an old witch (there were rumours that the argument
occurred after the general spoke badly of the witch
ying techniques. That seemed to hurt the old witch
very deeply). As the result of the argument, the witch put
a rather strange curse upon the general. It sounded all
complicated and quite harmless: "If the squared
distance between some two soldiers equals to 5, then
those soldiers will con ict with each other!" The drill
exercises are held on a rectangular n × m eld, split into
nm square 1 × 1 segments for each soldier. Thus, the
square of the distance between the soldiers that stand
on squares (x1 , y1 ) and (x1 , y2 ) equals exactly
2 2
(x1 − x2 ) + (y1 − y2 ) . Now not all nm squad
soldiers can partici- pate in the drill exercises as it was
before the old witch curse. Unless, of course, the general
wants the soldiers to ght with each other or even
worse. For example, if he puts a soldier in the square (2,
2), then he cannot put soldiers in the squares (1, 4), (3,
4), (4, 1) and (4, 3) — each of them will con ict with the
soldier in the square (2, 2).
Find the sum of maximum number of soldiers that can
be simultaneously positioned on this eld for each of the
following cases
i) 53 × 81

II) 2 × 103

III) 1 × 104

Jasmine, the princess of Agrabah is enjoying the festival

with her father. Since child- hood, Jasmine has been
very fond of shooting games and she has become really
good at it. After hitting at various shops she nally found
a shooting place. The shopkeeper is smart and has
changed the rules of the game. The shopkeeper has
placed a sequence of n water balloons each with an
integer written on it. The rules of the game are that the
shooter can choose any balloon of the sequence (let's
denote on it as ak) and remove it by shooting. During
this step, all elements equal to ak − 1 and ak + 1
should also be shot down and removed from the
sequence. This step will give the player ak score. At
each step, only one occurrence of ak is deleted. The
player should apply this step, again and again, to get as
much score as possible.
Example Seq: 1 2 3
In the rst step choose element 3, delete it and delete
3 − 1 = 2 and 3 + 1 = 4 (4 not avail- able). The
remaining array contains element only 1. now pick this
and the array becomes empty now. therefore, maximum
score obtained is 3 + 1 = 4

Given seq: 1 2 2 2 3 4 5 1 2 2 5 4 6 3 2 9 9 8 8 2 3 3 5 1 5
