For questions 1 to 4: 5. 3 Matches played in Round 2

One of Ruchi’s statements must be correct so one of Aman
and Tarun is definitely a politician. So, Tarun’s statement that
KD is not a politician must be correct and hence neither of 1 16
Tarun or Varun should be a lawyer. 2 15

Case 1: Now let Aman’s second statement is correct that he 3 14

is a chef. In that case Tarun will be a politician. Hence, Varun’s 4 13
first statement will be wrong and KD will be a lawyer. Hence
5 12
Varun becomes the businessman and Ruchi becomes the
teacher. 6 11
7 10
Case 2: Let Aman’s first statement is correct so Aman is not
the chef and one of Aman or Ruchi is the businessman. 8 9
Case (2a): So by Ruchi’s statement, let Aman be the politician.
And hence Ruchi must be the businessman. So, Varun’s first
Since two upsets happened in Round 2, remove the
statement is false, and hence KD must be the lawyer. Either
maximum seeds #1 and #2, and then matches played
Varun or Tarun can be a teacher and chef, as both are
in quarter finals are
possible.

Case (2b):So by Ruchi’s statement, let Tarun be the politician. 16 8

Hence by Varun’s statement KD is a lawyer. Also Varun must 15 7
be a chef, and Aman must be a teacher but in that case KD’s
3 6
both statements will be wrong.
4 5
Hence the final conclusion is:
Now, one match in quarter finals results in an upset.
• Aman - Chef, Tarun - Politician, Varun - Businessman,
So possibilities of semi-finals
KD - Lawyer and Ruchi - Teacher.
• Aman - Politician, Varun - Teacher, Tarun - Chef, KD 16 4
- Lawyer, Ruchi - Businessman 7 3
• Aman - Politician, Varun - Chef, Tarun - Teacher, KD
As one upset happened in semi-finals, therefore, 16
- Lawyer, Ruchi - Businessman is the lowest seed number possible to play in finals.

car = (28 + 11) – 5 = 34. d=2
Number of persons in Bangalore having at least one e=1
car = (34 + 21) – 9 = 46. f=5
Number of persons in Mumbai having at least one car The total package offered by company A = 19 × 1 = Rs. 19 lakh
= (31 + 22) – 3 = 50. The total package offered by company B = 16 × 3 = Rs. 48 lakh
Number of persons in Kolkata having at least one car The total package offered by company C = 16 × 4 = Rs. 64 lakh
= (21 + 31) – 13 = 39. The total package offered by company D = 11 × 2 = Rs. 22 lakh
Number of persons in Chandigarh having at least one The total package offered by company E = 20 × 1 = Rs. 20 lakh
car = (34 + 19) – 4 = 49.
The total package offered by company F = 11 × 5 = Rs. 55 lakh
Number of persons in Hyderabad having at least one
car = (37 + 21) – 11 = 47. 100
Revenue of company A = 19 × = Rs. 190 lakh
Hence the number of cities in which the number of 10
persons having at least one car is lesser than the 100
number of persons having at least one car in New Revenue of company B = 48 × = Rs. 300 lakh
16
Delhi is 0.
100
Revenue of company C = 64 × = Rs. 256 lakh
33. 4 The total number of persons having exactly one car 25
across all the cities cannot be uniquely determined. 100
Hence, option (4) is the correct choice. Revenue of company D = 22 × = Rs. 200 lakh
11
100
For questions 34 to 37: Revenue of company E = 20 × = Rs. 200 lakh
Let the package (in Rs. lakh per annum) per student offered by 10
company A, B, C, D, E and F be a, b, c, d, e and f respectively. 100
Revenue of company F = 55 × = Rs. 250 lakh.
According to the question, 22
a + 2b + c + d + 3e + f = 21 .......... (i)
5a + 3b + 2c + d + 2e + 3f = 41 .......... (ii) 34. 4 Company F offered the maximum package per student.
2a + 4b + 3c + 2d + 5e + f = 40 .......... (iii)
3a + b + 4c + 3d + 4e + 2f = 42 .......... (iv) 35. 3 Company A and E both offered the lowest package.
5a + b + 2c + 2d + e + 3f = 36 .......... (v)
3a + 5b + 4c + 2d + 5e + f = 48 .......... (vi) 36. 2 Sum of the total package of B, D and E = 48 + 22 + 20
By subtracting equation (iii) from equation (vi), we get = Rs. 90 lakh
a + b + c = 8. Sum of the revenue of A, C and F = 190 + 256 + 250
It is given in the question that a < b < c. = Rs. 696 lakh
Now, there are two possibilities. 90
Required percentage = × 100 = 12.93%
Case I: Put a = 1, b = 2, c = 5 in equations (i), (ii) and (iii), we 696
get
d + 3e + f = 11 37. 1 The revenue of Company B = Rs. 300 lakhs.
d + 2e + 3f = 20
2d + 5e + f = 15
From above three equations, we would not get integral values
for d, e and f. Hence, this case is not possible.
