Anaya Patel answered
Tennis is to be shown on friday only. This implies that we can not show football a day after i.e. on Saturday as swimming is to be shown before football.
Moreover as it is given that we can not show a football a day before friday i.e. Thursday. Thus we can not even place it on wednesday as if we will do so then we will not be able to place kho-kho and cricket together as no consecutive days will be left with us.
Also football can not be shown on the first day i.e. Monday because swimming is to be shown before football.
Therefore to maintain a proper order we can place football only on Tuesday.

Given information:
- One subject is taught each day of the week starting from Monday and ending on Sunday.
- Chemistry is taught on Thursday.
- English is not taught on Tuesday or Saturday.
- There is only one lecture between Chemistry and Botany.
- Zoology is taught after two days of Maths lecture.
- Statistics is not taught on Monday or Sunday.
- Botany is not taught on the immediate next day after Zoology.
- Physics is taught on Monday.

To find: How many subjects are taught between Botany and Zoology?

Solution:
We know that Zoology is taught after two days of Maths lecture, and Physics is taught on Monday. Therefore, the schedule for the week can be written as follows:

Monday: Physics
Tuesday: English (not taught)
Wednesday: Maths
Thursday: Chemistry
Friday: Botany
Saturday: English (not taught)
Sunday: Statistics

We can see that there are two subjects taught between Botany and Zoology: Chemistry (on Thursday) and English (not taught on Saturday). Therefore, the correct answer is option (d) Two.

Answer: Two.

Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
          Four friends Amar, Dev, Chandan and Bhusan are playing Ludo. They played Ludo six times. One of them won the game thrice, another won twice, another won only once and one of them lost all the games. All of them choose their favourite colours in the game, viz. Red, Yellow, Blue and Green.
The one who won twice is neither Amar nor the one who likes Blue colour.
The one who likes Yellow colour does not win the game more times than Dev.
Bhusan likes Red colour.
The one who likes Green colour is the best performer.
Amar does not like Yellow colour.
Q. 
Who among the following likes Bluecolour?
  • a)
    Amar                            
  • b)
    Bhusan
  • c)
    Dev                    
  • d)
    Chandan
  • e)
    Can’t be determined
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

We can start by making a table to keep track of the information given:

Friend | Wins | Favorite Color
-------|------|---------------
Amar | |
Dev | |
Chandan| |
Bhusan | |

From the given information, we can deduce the following:

- One person won thrice, another won twice, another won once, and one person lost all the games.
- The person who won twice is neither Amar nor the one who likes Blue color.
- The person who likes Yellow color does not win more times than Dev.
- Bhusan likes Red color.
- The person who likes Green color is the best performer.
- Amar does not like Yellow color.

Let's fill in the table accordingly:

Friend | Wins | Favorite Color
-------|------|---------------
Amar | |
Dev | |
Chandan| |
Bhusan | |

Based on the given information, we know that one person won thrice, so they must be the best performer. Therefore, the person who likes Green color is Chandan.

Friend | Wins | Favorite Color
-------|------|---------------
Amar | |
Dev | |
Chandan| 3 | Green
Bhusan | |

From the information that Bhusan likes Red color and Chandan won thrice, we can deduce that Bhusan did not win any games. Therefore, Amar, Dev, and Chandan each won at least one game.

Friend | Wins | Favorite Color
-------|------|---------------
Amar | |
Dev | |
Chandan| 3 | Green
Bhusan | 0 | Red

Now let's consider the information that the person who won twice is neither Amar nor the one who likes Blue color. Since Amar did not win any games, Dev must be the one who won twice. This means that Amar won once and likes the color Blue.

Friend | Wins | Favorite Color
-------|------|---------------
Amar | 1 | Blue
Dev | 2 |
Chandan| 3 | Green
Bhusan | 0 | Red

The information also states that the person who likes Yellow color does not win more times than Dev. Since Dev won twice, the person who likes Yellow color cannot have won more than twice. Therefore, Bhusan must like Yellow color and won once.

Friend | Wins | Favorite Color
-------|------|---------------
Amar | 1 | Blue
Dev | 2 |
Chandan| 3 | Green
Bhusan | 1 | Yellow

Now we can answer the question: Who among the following likes Blue color? Amar likes Blue color.

Therefore, the answer is: a) Amar.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nikhila menon answered
Solution:
To divide 8 litres of milk into two equal parts using 3 jugs of 8, 5 and 3 litres, we need to follow the following steps:

Step 1: Fill the 5-litre jug with milk from the 8-litre jug.
Step 2: Pour the milk from the 5-litre jug into the 3-litre jug until the 3-litre jug is full. This leaves 2 litres of milk in the 5-litre jug.
Step 3: Pour the milk from the 3-litre jug into the 8-litre jug, which already has 6 litres of milk in it.
Step 4: Fill the 3-litre jug with milk from the 5-litre jug.
Step 5: Pour the milk from the 3-litre jug into the 8-litre jug, which now has 9 litres of milk in it. Pour until the 8-litre jug is full, leaving 1 litre of milk in the 3-litre jug.
Step 6: Pour the milk from the 8-litre jug into the 5-litre jug.
Step 7: Pour the remaining 1 litre of milk from the 3-litre jug into the 5-litre jug.
Step 8: The 5-litre jug now has 3 litres of milk in it. Pour this into the 8-litre jug, which already has 8 litres of milk in it. This leaves 3 litres of milk in the 8-litre jug.

Therefore, we need a minimum of 7 pourings to divide 8 litres of milk into two equal parts.
Hence, the correct answer is option (B) 7.

To determine in which subject A has topped, we need to analyze the given information.

I. The highest ranker has topped in Science.
From this information, we can deduce that the subject in which the highest ranker has topped is Science.

II. D, who is higher in rank than E but lower than A has topped in History.
From this information, we can conclude the following ranking: A > D > E. We also know that D has topped in History.

III. The lowest ranker among them has topped in Mathematics.
This statement implies that the lowest-ranked student has topped in Mathematics.

IV. A and E have topped in neither Science nor Geography.
Based on this information, we can conclude that A and E have topped in subjects other than Science and Geography.

V. F has topped in Geography.
This statement tells us that F has topped in Geography.

VI. F, in order of rank, is lower than E who has topped in Hindi and is higher than C.
From this statement, we can infer the following ranking: E > F > C. Additionally, we know that E has topped in Hindi.

By analyzing the given information, we can now determine the subject in which A has topped:

- The highest ranker has topped in Science (Statement I).
- D has topped in History (Statement II).
- The lowest ranker has topped in Mathematics (Statement III).
- A and E have topped in subjects other than Science and Geography (Statement IV).
- F has topped in Geography (Statement V).
- E has topped in Hindi (Statement VI).

From these statements, we can conclude that A must have topped in English since it is the only subject remaining. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B': English.
