Legrand Casino recently purchased a slot machine; a gaming machine, which had the main unit and five sub-units, labeled as Alpha, Gamma, Beta, Theta and Omega. The main, as well as each of the sub-units, had five slots, labeled as Red, Blue, Grey, Black, and Yellow. The game with this slotting machine involved punching the right coin in the right slot in the right sequence i.e. one after another. For example, if coin number 3 is punched into slot Blue in Gamma sub-unit and if the main unit also pushes the coin to Blue slot, then the punch is said to be a winning shot. If the coin in the sub-unit is punched into the right slot when compared to the corresponding coin in the main unit, then the player gets Rs. 1,000 as reward. On the other hand, if the slots do not match then the player loses Rs. 333. Each player gets 25 coins to play.
However, after a couple of days, this slotting machine developed a peculiar problem. In the sub-units irrespective of the slot you intended to put in the coin, the sub-unit pushed the coin into the slot it wanted to every time on its own.
To find out which slots in the sub-units had developed the snag, the technician played on all the sub-units using 25 coins in each of the sub-units.
After some kind of analysis he found that the main machine and each of the sub-units could identify right slots for 15 coins, however for the balance of 10 coins listed below, each of the sub-units assumed different positions as right slots when compared to the main unit whose allocation of slots was the benchmark for performance of other sub-units.
On playing with these sub-units, the technician earned Rs. 17,000, Rs. 11,660, Rs. 18,330, Rs. 14,330 and Rs. 18,330 respectively from each of Alpha, Gamma, Beta, Theta and Omega. All the amount being rounded off to previous tens figure. Of the ten slots which had developed the snag, there was at least one sub-unit which identified the right slot for exactly 9 of the 10 slots.
The table below gives the slots identified by each of the sub-units as right slots for the 10 problematic coins.
What is the median value of the number of incorrect slots individually identified by the 5 sub-units?
  • a)
    6
  • b)
    10
  • c)
    5
  • d)
    8
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Given that the technician could earn Rs. 17,000, Rs. 11,660, Rs. 18,330, Rs. 14,330 and Rs. 18,330 respectively from each of Alpha, Gamma, Beta, Theta and Omega subunits, we can easily find out the number of correct and incorrect slots identified by each of the sub-unit.
Thus, the number of incorrect slots, identified by the 5 subunits, in ascending order is 5, 5, 6, 8, 10.
Therefore, the median value of the number of incorrect slots individually identified by the 5 sub-units is 6. Hence, option 1.
