Analysis:
- Akansh earns a prime number multiple of 100000, which means his salary can be 700000 or 1100000.
- Amit lives in the city with the shortest name, which is Joka.
- Ajay's salary is 100000 more than the average of Akansh and Ashok's salary.

Solution:
- Akansh can earn either 700000 or 1100000. Since Ajay's salary is 100000 more than the average of Akansh and Ashok, Ajay cannot be Akansh. Therefore, Ajay is not earning 700000. So, Akansh earns 1100000.
- From point II, Amit lives in Joka. So, Amit earns 800000.
- Ajay's salary is 100000 more than the average of Akansh and Ashok. Since Akansh earns 1100000, Ashok earns 700000. So, Ajay earns (1100000 + 700000)/2 + 100000 = 1000000.
- The remaining salaries are 900000 and 1300000, which are earned by Abhishek and Ashok respectively.
- Therefore, the mapping is:
- Ashok - 1300000 - Prabandhnagar
- Amit - 800000 - Joka
- Ajay - 1000000 - Banerghatta
- Akansh - 1100000 - Kunnamangalam
- Abhishek - 900000 - Vastrapur
Hence, Akansh lives in Kunnamangalam.

The chief scientist of a major vaccine producing company has the responsibility to keep the formula of the vaccine confidential. He stores the formula in his e-device with 3 consecutive locks, all of which need to be unlocked to access the formula. The first of the 3 locks is a pattern lock, the second one is a numeric lock and the third and final one is an alphanumeric lock. The pattern lock is in the form of a regular hexagon with 6 distinct vertices A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, in that order. One needs to connect all the 6 vertices one after the another in any random order connecting each vertex only once and only one order of connecting the 6 vertices exists which will unlock the first lock. The numeric lock has a code of ABC, where A, B and C are single digit natural numbers. A is a multiple of 2. B is a multiple of 3, C is a multiple of 4 but not equal to A.The alphanumeric lock has a code MNPQRS, where M and N are alphabets and P, Q, R and S are digits. M and N have to be consecutive vowels or consecutive consonants, not necessarily in order. Two alphabets are said to be consecutive vowels if both of them are vowels and they are consecutive when all the 5 vowels are written in alphabetical order. For example, E and I are consecutive vowels, but A and O are not. Two alphabets are said to be consecutive consonants if both of them are consonants and they are consecutive when all the 21 consonants are written in alphabetical order. For example, D and F are consecutive consonants but D and V are not. For example, M and N can be A and E respectively or E and A respectively. P is equal to Base-Ten-Index of M. Q is equal to the Base-Ten-Index of N. R and S can only take binary values, that is, 0 or 1.Base-Ten-Index of an alphabet = Index of alphabet % 10, where Index of an alphabet is its position when all alphabets from A to Z are arranged alphabetically and a%b is the remainder when a is divided by b.For example, Base-Ten-Index of J = 10 = 0 , Base-Ten-Index of M = 13 = 3.The chief scientist can only set passwords/patterns which follow all of the conditions mentioned above.Based on the information given above, answer the questions that follow.Q.Given below is a list of patterns/passwords, some of which are in accordance with the rules mentioned and some are not. The chief scientist can use any combination of valid patterns/passwords from the following to lock the e-device. What is the total number of ways in which he can do so?Pattern:(1) A1 A2 A5 A6 A5 A2 A4 (2) A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 (3) A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 (4) A1 A6 A5 A2 A4Numeric password:(1) 234 (2) 434 (3) 298 (4) 634 (5) 894 (6) 230 (7) 638Alphanumeric password:(1) AE1500 (2) CD3410 (3) HJ8000 (4)QP7600 (5) AB1211 (6) YZ4600 Correct answer is '40'.

Due to the rise in the COVID-19 pandemic, KLS Technologies, a leading IT service provider company in Bangalore has mandated each of its employees to work from home. To work from home, each of the employees was supposed to get a 5-G internet broadband connection at their home if they dont have it already. Once everyone had taken the broadband connection, HR was supposed to collect the data. HR collected the area in which employee lives and the internet connection they have. All the employees live in either of 4 areas among Bilekahalli, Bannerghatta, HSR Layout, or Koramangla. There is only 4 internet service providers in Bangalore and their names are Airmail, Xio, TSNL, and Netaway.Upon compiling the data, HR observed the following things: Number of employees living in any area and having any of the internet connection is a multiple of 5 and none of them is equal to 0. Each employee has exactly 1 internet connection. If the number of TSNL subscribers are arranged in ascending orders, it forms an increasing arithmetic progression with minimum possible common difference Number of employees having Airmail connection and living in Koramangla, Bannerghatta, HSR and Bilekahalli are 25,10,40 and 35 respectively 10% of the total employees live in HSR and have Netaway connection. 35 employees live in Koramangla and have Netaway connection. Number of employees living in Bannerghatta and HSR layout is equal to the number of employees living in Koramangla and Bilekahalli. It is also equal to the sum of the number of employees having Xio and Netaway. The number of employees living in HSR is 40% more than that of Bannerghatta and the number of employees living in Bilekahalli is 40 more than the number of employees in Koramangala Number of employees living in Bannerghatta and have Xio is equal to the number of employees living in Bilekahalli and have Xio which is equal to the number of employees living in Bilekahalli and have Netaway which is equal to 40 Number of employees living in Bannerghatta and have TSNL connection is double that of employees living in the same area but have Netaway Total number of employees having TSNL connection is 190Q.For the Koramangala area, which of the following network providers have the maximum number of employees as its subscribers?
