5 persons- P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 took part in a unique high jump competition where each one was given 10 chances to maximise their points. Each one of them started with a height of 150 cm to clear. If a particular participant cleared the height, in the next jump he was to clear a height of 5 cm more than the previous one. For eg. if a participant cleared 150 cm in his first jump, he will need to clear the height of 155 cm in his next jump. A foul is said to be committed if the participant fails to clear the barrier height. 3 continuous fouls would lead to straight elimination. 10 points are given to a participant who clears the given height and 2 points are deducted for every foul. Also, a participant is said to face an elimination jump if he had committed fouls on both of his two previous attempts. The following additional information is known about the jumps made by the 5 participants-
1. P5 was eliminated in his 5th jump and managed to score a total of points in single digit.
2. P1 and P2 faced elimination jumps thrice but managed to escape elimination. P1 never cleared two jumps continuously without a foul but P2 did this exactly once. Both of them scored 28 points each and cleared the 10th jump.
3. P4 was the only participant who made a maximum of 3 jumps continuously twice and he faced elimination jump once and escaped elimination.
4. P3 was eliminated in his 8th jump and he never faced the elimination jump before his 8th jump. Also, he cleared two different heights in two jumps continuously exactly once. 
5. P2 failed in his 4th and 7th jumps.
6. P4 made a foul in his second jump.
How many points did P4 score?
  • a)
    52
  • b)
    64
  • c)
    76
  • d)
    Cannot be determined
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?
Verified Answer
5 persons- P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 took part in a unique high jump compe...
We will start off by using the information given in point 1.
It says that P5 was eliminated in his 5th jump. We will try to represent the jump in which he cleared the height successfully with 'Y' and the jumps in which he fouled using 'N'. Since he was eliminated in his fifth jump, he must have made fouls in his 3rd, 4th and 5th jumps and cleared the 2nd jump successfully. Had this not been the case, he would have been eliminated in his 4th jump with fouls in 2nd, 3rd and 4th jumps.
So,
In his first jump, he cannot have made the jump successful, else his points would then become 20-6=14 which is a double-digit.
.'. P5 must have had the following set of jumps:
Moving on to point 3 and 6 for P4.
It is said that he made a maximum of 3 continuous correct attempts twice and failed in his second jump.
We can have the following possibilities:
Next, we will look into point 4. P3 was eliminated in his 8th jump. So, we can have:
We know the logic behind putting YNNN in the last 4 jumps as he was eliminated in his 8th jump. Also, he never faced elimination before his 8th jump. So, 2 Ns cannot be together. A N has to be preceded and followed by a Y. If J4 is an N, J2 and J3 must be the continuous jumps. Similarly for the other case, if J4 is a Y, we have the continuous jumps and all the previous jumps will alternate between Y and N.
Now, for P1 using the second point, we can see that he scored 28 points with facing the elimination jump thrice. He must have cleared the heights successfully 4 times (40 points) and committed a foul 6 times (-12 points) to have scored 28 points. Also, all his 6 fouls are part of 2 continuous fouls because of which he faced the elimination jump thrice. The only possible way to do this without any two successful jumps is:

For P2, he also has 4 successful jumps and 6 fouls. Also, using point 5, we can infer that:
Now, jumps 3 and 4 cannot be the first set of fouls, because in that case, we will have only two elimination jumps for P2- 5th jump after 3rd and 4th fouls and 8th jump after 6th and 7th foul. Jump 10 is already successful. Therefore, jump 4 must be part of the second continuous fouls. Hence, we have:
We can see that P4 can either make 6 correct jumps or 7 correct jumps.
So, his score can either be 52 or 64.

Analysis:
- P5 was eliminated in his 5th jump and scored a total of points in single digit.
- P1 and P2 faced elimination jumps thrice, scored 28 points each, and cleared the 10th jump.
- P4 made a maximum of 3 jumps continuously twice, faced elimination jump once, and escaped elimination.
- P3 was eliminated in his 8th jump, never faced elimination before his 8th jump, and cleared two different heights in two jumps continuously exactly once.
- P2 failed in his 4th and 7th jumps.
- P4 made a foul in his second jump.

Solution:
- P5 scored in single digits and was eliminated in his 5th jump, so he scored a total of 5 points.
- P1 and P2 faced elimination jumps thrice, scored 28 points each, and cleared the 10th jump. Since P2 cleared two jumps continuously without a foul, P1 must have faced elimination jumps three times. Therefore, P1 scored 28 points.
- P4 made a maximum of 3 jumps continuously twice, faced elimination jump once, and escaped elimination. Since P4 made a foul in his second jump, his points cannot be determined accurately based on the given information.
- P3 was eliminated in his 8th jump, never faced elimination before his 8th jump, and cleared two different heights in two jumps continuously exactly once.
- P2 failed in his 4th and 7th jumps.
Based on the given information, the points scored by P4 cannot be determined accurately.

'Aashapurna housing society' has apartments in two wings: east wing and west wing. On occasion of Christmas there is a get-together event being organized by the working committee (WC) of the society. An event comprising a quiz competition, a dumb charades game and a spin the bottle game is to take place, but since all residents of society cannot participate, a pre-final event within the east and west wings takes place separately and selected participant out of these events would compete in final against each other. Secretary of east wing of society supervises the games within his wing and allows each resident to take part in only one game of their choice. All participants of quiz contest are asked 50 questions each and get 1 point for 1 correct answer and 0 point for a wrong answer. All participants of dumb charade are given 50 chances to guess names of 50 movies, and get 1 point for 1 correct guess provided they do not guess a wrong movie name, after which they are considered out of game. Each participant of spin the bottle play 50 rounds of game together and winner of each round gets 1 point and others get 0 point. So, if there are 'n' number of participants then we get '50n' rounds. The game is based on sheer chance. After all games are conducted, the points distribution for East wing residents for quiz competition turned out to be as given below. The similar score was observed for the other two games as well.Answer following questions based on the above information, considering that the following questions are for the final rounds that are to be conducted:A team comprising of 10 participants is to be selected for spin the bottle, what should be the criteria for selection of the team to make sure best participants get selected?
