Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow

In a city, elections are conducted in a peculiar manner. There are three rounds of elections, each round separated by a gap of 4 months. So the candidate is voted for thrice in the election year. If the president of the current term wishes to be re-elected, he can stand only in the first round. If he secures the first place, the others bow out of the race. If he does not, the election process progresses into the second round and then the third. Each candidate is awarded points in every round equal to his position in the round. Finally the grand total of points is made and the candidate with the least total is declared the president elect.

This year the president lost the elections from all the candidates participated. Of the five other candidates, the winner secured the first position only in the last round with a grand total of 7 points. Three candidates had equal total points and the highest scorer had 4, 5, 2 points in the first, second and third round respectively. There was no tie for any position in any round. In the entire election process, the same person never stood in the same position more than once.

Which of the following score is not possible to get for any candidate in the first, second and the third round respectively?

A
1, 3, 5

B
3, 1, 5

C
5, 1, 3

D
3, 2, 4

Solution

Since, the president lost the election, so the elections would be conducted across 3 rounds among 5 candidates having position 1 to 5

The total points of winner (1st position) = 7 having 1st position giving 1 point in 3rd round

So, the sum of 1st and 2nd round for 1st position = 6 Possible cases (5 + 1), (4 + 2) or (3 + 3)

Since, the same person never stood same position, so (5 + 1) or (3 + 3) is not possible Also, no tie for any position in any round. Thus 1st position’s 1st round point = 2 and 2nd round points = 4 respectively

Now the total points scored by all the 5 candidates among 3 rounds = 3 × (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) = 45

Among 45 points, (7 + 11) already scored by 1st and 5th position candidate Remaining points = 45 – (7 + 11) = 27

Considering, 3 candidates scored equal points, each 2nd, 3rd and 4th position holder scores = 27/3 = 9 points each Possible values to make sum 9 with distinct values = (5, 3, 1) or (4, 3, 2) in any order.

What is the score of the candidate with the lowest grand total of points in the first, second and the third round respectively?

A
2, 4, 1

B
4, 2, 1

C
1, 2, 4

D
None

Solution

Since, the president lost the election, so the elections would be conducted across 3 rounds among 5 candidates having position 1 to 5

The total points of winner (1st position) = 7 having 1st position giving 1 point in 3rd round

So, the sum of 1st and 2nd round for 1st position = 6 Possible cases (5 + 1), (4 + 2) or (3 + 3)

Since, the same person never stood same position, so (5 + 1) or (3 + 3) is not possible Also, no tie for any position in any round. Thus 1st position’s 1st round point = 2 and 2nd round points = 4 respectively

Now the total points scored by all the 5 candidates among 3 rounds = 3 × (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) = 45

Among 45 points, (7 + 11) already scored by 1st and 5th position candidate Remaining points = 45 – (7 + 11) = 27

Considering, 3 candidates scored equal points, each 2nd, 3rd and 4th position holder scores = 27/3 = 9 points each Possible values to make sum 9 with distinct values = (5, 3, 1) or (4, 3, 2) in any order.

Since the employee is lacking in Dedication it has to be one out of Q. 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16 that has ‘No’ as an answer. But since the employee has the qualities of Adaptability, Honesty and Risk-taking, therefore Q. 13, 14, 15, 16, 7, 8, and 5 are not the ones with ‘No’ as the answer. Hence, Q. 6 is the one with ‘No’ as the answer.

If it is concluded that an employee lacks Adaptability but has Flexibility and Ownership, then the presence or absence of which of the following qualities in the employee will definitely help us determine the question for which his/her answer was ‘No’?

A
Honesty

B
Risk-taking

C
Dedication

D
Collaboration

Solution

According to the information we can say that the questions that might affect each of these 8 qualities are as follows.

[Adaptability: Q. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16];

[Collaboration: Q. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];

[Dedication: Q. 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16];

[Flexibility: Q. 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12];

[Honesty: Q. 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16];

[Integrity: Q. 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14];

[Ownership: Q. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16];

[Risk-taking: Q. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15];

This can be tabulated as shown below:

If the employee does not possess Adaptability, then the question with ‘No’ as the answer will be one among Q. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, but since the qualities of Flexibility and Ownership are present, Q. 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 are excluded.

So the only questions left are 13 and 15. Both these questions are used to determine Risk-taking. Knowing whether the employee possesses Risk-taking will not help us determine the answer. So option (2) is not the answer.

Both questions are used to determine the presence of Dedication. So option (3) is not the answer.

Answers for Q.13 or 15 are not used to determine the presence of Collaboration. So option (4) is not the answer.

Only the answer for Q. 15 is used to determine the presence of Honesty. If the person is not Honest, then Q.15 has the answer ‘No’ otherwise Q.13 has answer ‘No’.

Hence, option (1) is the correct.

A
2019 – 20

B
2021 – 22

C
2020- 21

D
Both (2) & (3)

Solution

Let the total production of crops in 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 be P1, P2, P3 and P4. Then, 0.4P10.35P2 = 0.25P3 = 0.3P4

P1: P2 = 7:8; P2: P3 5:7; P3: P4=6:5

Hence, clearly, the percentage change in the total production is the highest in 2020-21.
