Solutions for LRPE1002105

Solutions for questions 1 to 4:

As per points (1) and (9), puzzles must be done within 12 to 19 minutes to earn bonus points.
As per (4) and (5), the number of puzzles solved by these are 1, 2, 3 and 4 in any order.
From (3),(8) Bhuvi and Kaul solved 2 puzzles and 1 puzzle respectively, and Adam and Naveen are ranked 1st and 2nd at the end of the
round. Hence, Kaul scored 24 (8*3) bonus points along with 15 points for 1 solved puzzle. He scored a total of 39 points.
Bhuvi also has to score 39 points. Since Bhuvi scores 30 points for 2 solved puzzles, he must have scored 9 bonus points.
from 7 as there are only three possible timings less than or equal to 15 are available, Adam could only solve 3 puzzles in 13, 14 and
15 minutes. He gets 54 bonus points along with 45 points for solving 3 puzzles i.e. a total of 99 points.
Since Adam solved 3 puzzles, Naveen must have solved 4 puzzles.
From (8) Naveen has to score 81 points. So, he has to get 21 bonus points.
So, the only possible way is as given in the table below.

Rank 1 2 3 4

Person Adam Naveen Bhuvi Kaul

No. of puzzles solved 3 4 2 1

Timings of puzzles solved (rounded off to the next minute) 13, 14, 15 16, 18, 19, 20 17, 20 12

1. Naveen scored a total of 81 points. Choice (C) 3. Times taken by Naveen are 16, 18, 19, 20. Choice (B)

2. Adam was awarded 54 bonus points. Choice (B) 4. The number of puzzles solved are 1, 2, 4, 3. Choice (D)

Solutions for questions 5 to 9:

Each team has to choose 4 out of 5 which is similar to leaving 1 out of the given 5 subjects.
So, each team leaves a different subject among 5 subjects (from 1).
7  C and P are in the same team and they didn’t choose Maths.
So, they chose the remaining 4 subjects.
And the other eight persons except C and P chose Maths.
Hence, 2  A didn’t choose Chemistry.
3  B and R are in the same team.
5  Q has team with either A or C as he has to leave maths or chemistry.
As C and P are in the same team, Q has to team with A.
As Chemistry is not chosen by A or Q, S has to choose chemistry
Hence, 4  S didn’t choose physics.

And from 6, We get three possible cases

Case (i)
A B C D E
Q R P S T
Not chemistry Not biology Not maths Not physics Not sociology

Case (ii)
A B C D E
Q R P T S
Not chemistry Not biology Not maths Not sociology Not physics

Case (iii)
A B C D E
Q R P T S
Not chemistry Not sociology Not maths Not biology Not physics

5. Q formed team with A. Choice (A) 8. From case 1, R didn’t choose Biology.
Choice (C)
6. In all the cases Biology, Chemistry, Maths are chosen by E.
Choice (D)
9. Option (C) is definitely true.
7. In both cases (ii) and (iii), E didn’t choose Physics. Choice (C)
Choice (D)

Solutions for questions 10 to 13: Let Quin be an alternator, then Quin downloaded Rank ! app,
which means that the app downloaded by paul is Rank. After
From the given information we obtain the following browsing this ranking it is clear that Robert's statement (2) is true.
This is not possible as each belongs to a different category
D1= 50 D2
Therefore, Quin is a liar and Robert an alternator. The final table
is as follows:
d
a b
PayAM PayBM PayCM
g
1 3 2
f e
Paul Robert Quin
c
Paul – Truth teller
Quin – Liar
D3 Robert – Alternator
n=g+1
Case (b): Quin downloaded PayAM, then Robert's first statements
d + e + f = 27
is false, which means he can be an alternator or a liar.
a + b + c + g + 1 = 55 or a + b + c + g = 54
If he is an alternator means Paul's app is ranked 2 and Quin's app
10. Total number of students who attended the exam on at least is ranked 1. This would make Quin's first statements true which is
one day is: not possible. Therefore, Robert is a liar using this information
(a + b + c) + d + e + f + g = 54 + 27 = 81 Ans: (81) we get

11. We have to maximize "g" PayAM PayBM PayCM

Let 'X' be the amount with which the number of students
decreases from previous day 2 3 1
a + d + f + g = 50 → (1)
b + d + e + g = 50 – X → (2) Quin Robert Paul
c + f + e + g = 50 – 2X → (3)
Adding a + b + c + 2 (d + e + f) + 3g = 150 – 3X Paul – Truth teller
54 + 2 × 27 + 2g = 150 – 3X Quin – Alternator
8X + 2g = 42 Robert – Liar
∴ X – 2 is minimum
Case (2): If Quin is a Truth teller
42− 6 36 (1) Quin's app ranked 1
∴g= = = 18 Ans: (18)
2 2 (2) Paul downloaded PayCM
This means Robert's statement (1) is false and if he is an
12. Maximum value of X is when g = 0, or X = 14 Ans: (14) alternator the next statements is true which makes Paul's first
statement also true. Hence Robert is a liar using this we get the
13. a will be minimum when g is maximum i.e., 18 following outcome.

D1 = 50 D2 = 48 PayAM PayBM PayCM

1 2 3
d = 10 b = 12 Q R P
a = 13
g = 18 Paul – Alternator
Quin – Truth teller
f=9 e=8
Robert – Liar
c = 11 Case (3): If Robert is a truth teller, then
n = 19
(1) Quin downloaded PayCM
(2) Paul's app is ranked 2
D3 = 46 This means Quin statement (2) is false, and if he is an alternator
∴ a + b + c = 36 then PayCM is ranked 1. From Paul's statement (2) PayAM
d + e + f = 27 should be downloaded by Robert and PayBM by Paul which is
Also, we know, (a – b) + (f – e) = 2 ranked 2 and Robert is ranked 3. This Paul's first true. But paul
and (b – c) + (d – f) = 2 should be a liar. Hence this case is invalid.
and (a – c) + (d – e) = 4 Therefore, Quin is a liar and P an alternator using this information
∴ d > f > e and d = 10, f = 9, e = 8 we get the following
∴ a = 13 Ans: (13)
PayAM PayBM PayCM
Solutions for questions 14 to 17: 2 1 3
Let us rank the highest popular app as 1, and the least popular Paul Robert Quin
app as 3.
Robert – Truth teller
Case (1): When Paul is the truth teller then both his statements Quin – liar
are true. This would mean Paul – Alternator
(1) Robert downloaded the app ranked 3 and from
statement 14. Except Paul other can be liars. Choice (C)
(2) two cases arise
Case (a): Paul downloaded PayAM 15. PayAM is ranked 1. Choice (A)
Case (b): Quin downloaded PayAM
16. if paul is the truth teller, statement (D) is true.
Case (a): Paul downloaded PayAM, then Quin statements Choice (D)
(2) is false, which means, Quin can be a liar or an
alternator. 17. Paul is an alternator. Choice (A)

 30PM – 4000(10 – a) – 72,000 = 30PR – 8000 – 24000 22. L and J sit adjacent to vacant seat in row 2.
30PM – 4000(10 – a) = 30PR – 8000 + 48,000 Choice (D)
30PM – 4000(10 – a) = 30PR + 40,000
30PM = 30 PR + 4000(10 – a) + 40,000 23. L sits opposite A who sits in the second seat to the right of
For the above equation to hold true PM > PR C. Choice (A)
Choice (D)
24. If M does not sit opposite vacant seat then M sits opposite

 5 × 21 = (10 – a)2 + 101
105 = (10 – a)2 + 101  a = 8 Choice (B)
Two persons are sitting between E and G, who are facing different
120 directions.

60 F is to the immediate left of H.
Moong = 2 × 500 × + 30 × 20 × 60 = 4000 + 36,000
15 Only one person is sitting between A and H. Hence E sits between

It is given that B and D sits three places away from each other.
Neither B nor D sits opposite M and K. Neither M nor K sits _B_ _G_ __F_ _H_ _E_ _A_ _D_ _C_
adjacent to vacant seat. The vacant seat of row 2 is not at any
end and M and K do not sit adjacent to each other. E sits adjacent
27. B and C are sitting at the ends of the row. Choice (D)
to neither B nor D. Hence B or D sits at one of the ends of the row
and E sits at other end of the row. It can be shown as follows.
28. F and D are facing different directions. Hence five persons
are facing south. Choice (B)
(a) B/D __ __ D/B __ E

(4) All three faced painted = 8
Step (1): A red painted cube is cut into two
Part (B):

part A part B

Both part (A) and part (B) are cut into 32 cubes in the following
manner
Part (A): All the faces are painted black.
One side is not painted with any colour while the other sides
are red in colour
(i) No face painted = 4
(ii) No of cubes with one painted face = 4 + 4 × 2 = 12
(iii) No of cubes with two painted face = 4 (at corner) +
4 × 2 (at edge) = 12
(iv) No of cubes with three painted face = 4
