    Directions For Questions

    Rinesh and Rinsha have 150 marbles on the table. Each of them takes turns to pick marbles. They can pick at least two and at most six marbles in each turn. It is known that both of them play intelligently.

    If after Rinesh's turn, there is only one marble left on the table, then Rinsha will pick that one marble. The same is true for Rinesh as well.

    ...view full instructions

    Rinesh picks the first marble and the person who picks the last marble is the winner. What is the number of marbles that  Rinesh should pick in his first turn to ensure his win?

    Solution

    Let's determine which are losing and winning positions.

    If there are 1 to 6 coins on the table, then it is a winning position, because a person can just pick them up and win. 

    If there are 7 or 8 coins on the table then it is a losing position. Even if you pick anything from 2-6, you will leave your opponent in a winning position.

    If there are 9-14 coins on the table then it is a winning position. For 9 you can pick 2 leaving the opponent with 7 which is a losing position. For 10, you pick 3 and so on. For 14, you pick 6 leaving 8 on the table which is also a losing position. Hence, all of 9-14 are winning positions.

    If there 15 or 16 coins on the table, then it is a losing position. Even if you pick anything from 2-6, you will leave your opponent in a winning position.

    Hence, we can see a pattern emerging:

    1-6 : win

    7,8 : lose

    9-14: win

    15, 16: lose

    17-22: win

    23, 24:  lose

    So all 8x-1 and 8x positions are losing positions. So if Rinesh has to win, he has to leave his opponent in a losing position. So he should leave 8k coins on the table such that 8k<150. The nearest multiple of 8 which is less than 150 is 144. Hence, if Rinesh leaves 144 coins on the table, Rinsha will lose. So he must pick 150-144= 6 coins

    The answer is option D.

    Rinesh and Rinsha have 150 marbles on the table. Each of them takes turns to pick marbles. They can pick at least two and at most six marbles in each turn. It is known that both of them play intelligently.

    If after Rinesh's turn, there is only one marble left on the table, then Rinsha will pick that one marble. The same is true for Rinesh as well.

    ...view full instructions

    Rinsha picks the first marble and the person who picks the last marble is the loser. What is the minimum number of marbles that  Rinsha should pick in her first turn to ensure her win?

    Solution

    Since both of them play intelligently and the person who picks the last marble is the loser,

    If it is Rinsha's turn to pick the marble, she will ensure that after he picks the marbles, the number of marbles left on the table is either 1 or 2.

    Since both of them play intelligently, Rinsha will always ensure to leave 8x+1 or 8x+2 marbles on the table after her turn.
    Ultimately, we left with 150-(8x+1) or 150-(8x+2) i.e.5,4 marbles respectively on the table.
    But there is a condition that if there are less than 2 marbles on the table, then the opponent has to pick the marble.

    So Rinsha picks 4 marbles and will leave 2 marbles for Rinesh to pick.

    Since we have to find the minimum number of marbles Rinsha should pick, so Rinsha will pick 4 marbles.

  • Question 3

    Rinesh and Rinsha have 150 marbles on the table. Each of them takes turns to pick marbles. They can pick at least two and at most six marbles in each turn. It is known that both of them play intelligently.

    If after Rinesh's turn, there is only one marble left on the table, then Rinsha will pick that one marble. The same is true for Rinesh as well.

    150 marbles on the table are now divided into two groups, A and B where B has 2 coins more than A. For group A, the person who picks the last marble is a winner; for group B, the person who picks the last marble is a loser. If Rinesh picks the marbles first in both groups, what is the sum of the number of marbles Rinesh should pick from A and the minimum number of marbles Rinesh should pick from B to ensure a win in both groups?

    Solution

    For Group A:

    Let's determine which are losing and winning positions.

    If there are 1 to 6 coins on the table, then it is a winning position, because a person can just pick them up and win.

    If there are 7 or 8 coins on the table then it is a losing position. Even if you pick anything from 2-6, you will leave your opponent in a winning position.

    If there are 9-14 coins on the table then it is a winning position. For 9 you can pick 2 leaving the opponent with 7 which is a losing position. For 10, you pick 3 and so on. For 14, you pick 6 leaving 8 on the table which is also a losing position. Hence, all of 9-14 are winning positions.

    If there 15 or 16 coins on the table, then it is a losing position. Even if you pick anything from 2-6, you will leave your opponent in a winning position.

    Hence, we can see a pattern emerging:

    1-6 : win

    7,8 : lose

    9-14: win

    15, 16: lose

    17-22: win

    23, 24: lose

    So all 8x-1 and 8x positions are losing positions. So if Rinesh has to win, he has to leave his opponent in a losing position. So he should leave 8k coins on the table such that 8k < 74. The nearest multiple of 8 which is less than 74 is 72. Hence, if Rinesh leaves 72 coins on the table, Rinsha will lose. So he must pick 74 - 72 = 2 coins

    For Group B:

    Since both of them play intelligently and the person who picks the last marble is the loser,

    Since both of them play intelligently, Rinesh should ensure to leave 8x+1 or 8x+2 marbles on the table after his turn.

    There are 76 marbles. 

    Therefore, he should ensure to leave 73 or 74 marbles on the table after his turn.

    This implies he should pick 2 or 3 marbles.

    Minimum number of marbles he should pick will be 2.

    Required sum = 2 + 2 = 4

    The answer is 4

    If the number of marbles left on the table after a person’s turn is less than the minimum number of marbles that a person can pick, then the game ends. Rinesh picks the first marble and the person who picks the last marble is the winner. What is the minimum number of marbles that  Rinesh should pick in his first turn to ensure his win?

    Solution

    Since both of them play intelligently, and the person who picks the last marble is the winner, If it is Rinesh's turn to pick the coin, he will
    ensure that after he picks the marbles, the number of marbles left on the table is a multiple of 8.
    In a single round, 8 marbles will be picked up both of them.
    Ultimately, we left with 150-8x i.e.6 marbles on the table.
    Since after a person's turn if there are less than 2 marbles on the table, then the game ends. If Rinesh picks five marbles, then there will be one marble on the table, the game ends, Rinesh will be the winner.
    If Rinesh picks six marbles, there he will try to make the number of marbles after his turn to be a multiple of 8, and he will be the winner.


    Since we have to find the minimum number of marbles, Rinesh will pick five marbles.
    B is the correct answer.

Rinsha picks the first marble and the person who picks the last marble is the loser. What is the maximum number of marbles that  Rinsha should pick in her first turn to ensure her win?

    Solution

    Since both of them play intelligently, and the person who picks the last marble is the winner, If it is Rinesh's turn to pick the coin, he will
    ensure that after he picks the marbles, the number of marbles left on the table is a multiple of 8.
    In a single round, 8 marbles will be picked up both of them.
    Ultimately, we left with 150-8x i.e.6 marbles on the table.
    Since after a person's turn if there are less than 2 marbles on the table,then he has to pick all the marbles. If Rinsha picks five marbles, then there will be one marble on the table,Rinsha has to pick that marble as well. Rinesh will be the winner.
    If Rinsha picks four marbles, then there will be 2 marbles which Rinesh has to pick.
    If Rinsha picks three marbles, then even if Rinesh picks two marbles in his turn since there are less than 2 marbles on the table, Rinesh has to pick the third leftover marble aswell.


    Since we have to find the maximum number of marbles which Rinsha has to pick, she will pick four marbles.

    What is the salary of the oldest male?

    Solution

    It is given that the annual income of one among Augusta, Boliv and Centy is the average of the annual incomes of the other two. So, their incomes can be (40, 45, 50) lakhs or (40, 50, 60) lakhs or (45, 60, 75) lakhs in any order. Also, the absolute difference Augusta's income and Elin's income is 15 lakhs. So, their incomes can be (45, 60) lakhs or (60, 75) lakhs.
    If Augusta's, Boliv,s and Centy's incomes are (45, 60, 75) lakhs in any order, we will have three cases:

    In case I, if Augusta's income is 45 lakhs, Elin's income must be 60 lakhs but either Boliv's or Centy's income is 60 lakhs. Case I is not possible.
    In case II, if Augusta's income is 60 lakhs, Elin's income must be 75 lakhs or 45 lakhs but Boliv's and Centy's income are 75 lakhs and 45 lakhs. Case II is not possible.
    In case III, if Augusta's income is 75 lakhs, Elin's income must be 60 lakhs but either Boliv's or Centy's income is 60 lakhs. Case III is not possible.
    So, Augusta's, Boliv's and Centy's income must be either (40, 45, 50) lakhs or (40, 50, 60) lakhs. Augusta's income can either be 45 lakhs or 60 lakhs. We get the following cases:

    Diaz does not have the highest income. So, case I is not valid. Elin is the youngest male and Boliv is the older female. It is also given that the older female has more income. So, Boliv's income cannot be 40 lakhs because it is the least income. Thus, Boliv's income is 50 lakhs and Centy's income is 40 lakhs.

     

    Centy is older that Boliv and Elin. So, Centy cannot be a female. Also, Augusta cannot be a female as Augusta's income is more than Boliv's. So, Diaz must be female.

     

    Also, Centy is older than Boliv and Elin and Centy is having the least income. So, he can not be the oldest. Also, Elin has the highest income. So, he must be younger than one of the females and older than the other. Since, Elin is younger than Boliv, he must be older than the other female, Diaz. Thus, Augusta must be the oldest. The arrangement in the decreasing order of age is :

    From the arrangement we can see that Augusta is the oldest and his salary is 60 lakhs.
    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    Centy is older that Boliv and Elin. So, Centy cannot be a female. Also, Augusta cannot be a female as Augusta's income is more than Boliv's. So, Diaz must be female.

    Also, Centy is older than Boliv and Elin and Centy is having the least income. So, he can not be the oldest. Also, Elin has the highest income. So, he must be younger than one of the females and older than the other. Since, Elin is younger than Boliv, he must be older than the other female, Diaz. Thus, Augusta must be the oldest. The arrangement in the decreasing order of age is :

    From the arrangement we can see that sum of incomes of Boliv and Diaz is (50 + 45) lakhs = 95 lakhs.

    If it is known that Aces, Beasts, Cavaliers, Dashers and Enigmas are ranked in the points table in that order, find the number of ways in which the points can be distributed among these five teams.

    Solution

    In such a tournament, the total number of points scored by all the teams together would be a constant in all the arrangements.

    For n teams, if there are no draws, the total number of wins would be [n(n-1)/2 ] * points per win. Hence the total number of 
    points in this case is given by [5*4/2]*1 = 10 points. 

    The total number of points scored among all the teams together would be 10. 
    For each arrangement we try to distribute the points such that they would add up to 10. We find that there are 9 such arrangements and the arrangements are given by: 

    If we fix Aces, Beasts, Cavaliers, Dashers and Enigmas in the place of Team 1 , Team 2 , Team 3 , Team 4 , Team 5,  there are 9 arrangements possible.

  • Question 12
    3 / -1

    Directions For Questions

    Five football teams Aces, Beasts, Cavaliers, Dashers and Enigmas are playing in a football tournament. Each team plays the other teams only once and it is known that no match ends in a tie. Each team is awarded one point for a win and zero points for a loss. It is also known that if two teams are tied for points, then the team that comes up first in the alphabetical order ranks higher up the points table (If the scores of Beasts and Cavaliers are tied, Beasts rank higher because they come up higher in the alphabetical order).

    If it is known that the team that is placed third had scored 3 points, find the total number of ways in the which the five teams can be arranged in the Ranking Table.

    Solution

    All the possible point distributions are as follows.

    The only arrangement in which the third team scores 3 points is in Ar_5.

    Hence, only one arrangement of team scores is possible. Now we need to arrange team names in these 5 slots. As the top 3 teams are tied, the order would be decided by alphabetical order. Hence, if we select 3 teams for the top slot, only one arrangement of teams is possible. Hence, number of arrangements of top 3 teams = 5C3 * 1 = 10 ways.

    The bottom 2 teams can be arranged in 2! ways.

    The number of possible arrangements are, 5C3 * 2 = 20 ways.

    Find the number of different arrangements possible in which Enigmas can top the Ranking Table.

    Solution

    Enigmas cannot be tied with any team at the top of the table, as by virtue of their rank in the alphabetic order they would be pushed down. Hence the total arrangements that are possible with Enigmas at the top of the table is as follows.

    Now different arrangements of teams 2,3,4,5 has to be made for each points distribution.

    Arr_1: Each of the remaining 4 teams can come in any of the four spots. Hence, the number of ways of arrangement would be 4! = 24

    Arr_2 : One of the teams must be 3 and the remaining three teams would be 1. The teams that score 1 point would arrange themselves alphabetically. So the number of ways of arrangement would be the same as picking the team which scored 3 points. This is done in 4C1 = 4 ways.

    Arr_3: This is arranged similar to Arr_2. The team that scored 0 points is chosen from 4 teams. This can be done in 4C1 = 4ways.

    Arr_4: Two teams score 2 points and two teams score one point. Hence, the number of ways of arrangement would be the same as choosing two teams that scored 2 points from the four teams. They will arrange themselves alphabetically. The teams that are not chosen score 1 point and they would arrange themselves alphabetically as well. Therefore the number of ways is 4C2 = 6 ways

    Arr_8 : This is similar to Arr_2 and Arr_3.  The team that scores 1 point must be chosen from the 4 teams. The number of ways is 4C1 = 4 ways.

    Total combinations = 42

    Find the number of arrangements possible in the Ranking Table in which at least 3 teams have equal number of points.

    Solution

    The different distribution of points in which atleast 3 teams have equal number of points is as follows.

    Number of ways teams can be arranged in Arr_2 : The three teams that score 1 point can be selected in 5C3 ways. They would be arranged alphabetically automatically. The remaining two teams can be arranged in 2 ways. Hence total arrangement is 5C3*2=20

    Number of ways teams can be arranged in Arr_3 =5C3*2=20

    Number of ways teams can be arranged in Arr_5 =5C3*2=20

    Number of ways teams can be arranged in Arr_8 =5C3*2=20

    Number of ways teams can be arranged in Arr_9 =1

    Total number of arrangements = 81

    Find the number of arrangements possible in the Ranking Table in which each team has won atleast one game.

    Solution

    The different arrangements where each team win at least one game are coloured below.

    In Arr_2, the three teams which scored equal points will be arranged in one way (i.e. alphabetical order).

    Selection of 3 teams out of 5 teams = $$^5C_3=\frac{5!}{3!\times\ 2!}=10\ ways$$. The rest two teams can be arranged in 2! ways.

    Hence total ways = 10 x 2! = 10 x 2 = 20 ways.

    Similarly

    For Arr_4:- Number of ways = $$^5C_2\times\ ^3C_2\times\ 1!=\frac{5!}{3!\times\ 2!}\times\ \frac{3!}{2!\times\ 1!}=10\times\ 3=30\ ways$$

    For Arr_7:- Number of ways = $$^5C_2\times\ ^3C_2\times\ 1!=\frac{5!}{3!\times\ 2!}\times\ \frac{3!}{2!\times\ 1!}=10\times\ 3=30\ ways$$

    For Arr_8:- Number of ways = $$^5C_3\times\ 2!=\frac{5!\times\ 2!}{3!\times\ 2!}=20\ ways.$$

    For Arr_9:- All teams have an equal score. Hence they will be arranged in one way. 

    Total possible arrangements = 20 + 30 + 30 + 20 + 1 = 101 ways.

    The answer is Option (B)
