Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the question that follows.
A spy of XYZ kingdom regularly spies between seven enemy camps that are located inside a forest, and are connected to each other by forest roads, FR–1, FR–2, FR–3, FR–4, FR–5, FR–6, and FR–7. The spy has made a map so that he can travel with ease between camps and get the useful information required. However, while travelling between any two enemy camps, the spy always chooses the route which passes through the minimum possible number of enemy camps. If two or more routes pass through the minimum number of enemy camps, he chooses the route for which the distance is also the least. The length of the forest road, directly connecting any two enemy camps, is a multiple of 10. For any pair of enemy camps, the length of a route connecting the two enemy camps and passing through the minimum possible number of enemy camps, is called a forest road stretch between the two enemy camps. The least among all the forest road stretches between two enemy camps is called the minimum forest road stretch between the two enemy camps.

The following information is known about the distances between the enemy camps:
1. The minimum forest road stretch between FR–4 and FR–6 is 90 miles, while the minimum forest road stretch between FR–2 and FR–6 is 30 miles.
2. The highest forest road stretch between FR–1 and FR–7 is 360 miles.
3. The minimum forest road stretch between FR–4 and FR–7 is 30 miles.
4. The sum of the lengths of the road directly connecting FR–5 to FR–6 and that directly connecting FR–5 and FR–7 is 100 miles.
5. The minimum forest road stretch between FR–7 and FR–2 is 70 miles, while the minimum forest road stretch between FR–3 and FR–7 is 110 miles.
6. The length of the road directly connecting FR–3 and FR–6 is greater than 110 miles.
7. The minimum forest road stretch between FR–1 and FR–4 is 110 miles, while the highest forest road stretch between FR–2 and FR–3 is 240 miles.
The spy's companion, Mr. Y, always travels along the shortest route when travelling from one enemy camp to another. On a particular day, both, the spy and Mr. Y, started from FR-1 and reached X, which is one of the other six enemy camps. If the length of the route that the spy took is greater than that of the route that Mr. Y took, how many of the six enemy camps were there in the route of the spy?
  • a)

  • c)

  • d)

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

Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the questi...
Let the length of the roads be as shown below.
From (iii), we have FR-4 - FR-7 = g = 30, and from (vi), we have FR-3 - FR-6 = f > 110
From (i), FR-4 - FR-6 = 90
The possible routes are FR-4 - FR-7 - FR-6 and FR-4 - FR-3 - FR-6.
For the route FR-4 - FR-7 - FR-6,
g + i = 90
For the route FR-4 - FR-3 - FR-6,
d + f = 90
But, this is not possible since the value of f is greater than 110.
Therefore, the route FR-4 - FR-7 - FR-6 is taken.
Now, g + i = 90 ⇒ i = 60
From (i), FR-2 - FR-6 = 30
Shortest route is FR-2 - FR-5 - FR-6, i.e.
e + j = 30 ⇒ (e, j) = (10, 20) or (20, 10)
From (v), FR-3 - FR-7 = 110
The possible routes are FR-3 - FR-4 - FR-7 and FR-3 - FR-6 - FR-7.
For the route FR-3 - FR-4 - FR-7,
d + g = 110
For the route FR-3 - FR-6 - FR-7,
i + f = 110
But, this is not possible since the value of f is greater than 110.
Therefore, the route FR-3 - FR-4 - FR-7 is taken.
Now, d + g = 110 ⇒ d = 80
From (iv), FR-5 - FR-6 + FR-5 - FR-7 = 100, i.e.
h + j = 100
Since j can only be 20 or 10, the possibilities for (h, j) are only (90, 10) and (80, 20).
But the lengths 80, 30, and 60 are already taken, and the length of the roads are distinct integers. So, the only possible case, (h, j) = (90, 10), implies e = 20.
From (v), FR-7 - FR-2 = 70
The possible routes are FR-7 - FR-4 - FR-2 and FR-7 - FR-5 - FR-2.
For the route FR-7 - FR-4 - FR-2,
g + c =70 ⇒ c = 40
For the route FR-7 - FR-5 - FR-2,
e + h = 70
But, this is not possible since the value of e + h is 110.
Therefore, for FR-7 - FR-2, the route FR-7 - FR-4 - FR-2 is taken.
From (vii), FR-1 - FR-4 = 110
The possible routes are FR-1 - FR-2 - FR-4 and FR-1 - FR-3 - FR-4.
For the route FR-1 - FR-2 - FR-4,
a + c = 110
⇒ a = 70
For the route FR-1 - FR-3 - FR-4,
b + d = 110
b = 110 - 80 = 30
But, this is not possible since the length of each road is unique.
Therefore, the route FR-1 - FR-2 - FR-4 is taken.
From (vii), FR-2 - FR-3 = 240
The possible routes are FR-2 - FR-1 - FR-3 and FR-2 - FR-4 - FR-3.
For the route FR-2 - FR-1 - FR-3,
a + b = 240
b = 170
For the route FR-2 - FR-4 - FR-3,
c + d = 240
But, this is not possible since the value of c + d is 120.
Therefore, the route FR-2 - FR-1 - FR-3 is taken.
From (ii), FR-1 - FR-7 = 360 (Longest path)
The possible routes for this are FR-1 - FR-2 - FR-4 - FR-7.
a + c + g = 360
But a + c + g = 140
This is not the longest path.
FR-1 - FR-2 - FR-5 - FR-7
a + e + h = 360
But, a + e + h = 180 (Not the longest path)
FR-1 - FR-3 - FR-4 - FR-7
b + d + g= 360
But b + d + g = 280 (Not the longest path) 
The only possibility is FR-1 - FR-3 - FR-6 - FR-7.
b + f + i = 360
f = 130 
The final network is as follows:

The minimum forest road stretch should be more than the length of the shortest routes. For FR-2, FR-3, FR-4, FR-5 and FR-7, the distance along the shortest route & minimum forest road stretch is the same. However, for FR-6, the shortest route is FR-1 - FR-2 - FR-5 - FR-6, which has a length of 100 miles. But this route will not pass through the minimum number of enemy camps. Hence, the spy would have travelled through the route FR-1 - FR-3 - FR-6, covering a total of 300 miles, with only one enemy camp in the route.

The minimum forest road stretch between FR–1 and FR–4 is 110 miles, while the highest forest road stretch between FR–2 and FR–3 is 240 miles.The spys companion, Mr. Y, always travels along the shortest route when travelling from one enemy camp to another. On a particular day, both, the spy and Mr. Y, started from FR-1 and reached X, which is one of the other six enemy camps. If the length of the route that the spy took is greater than that of the route that Mr. Y took, how many of the six enemy camps were there in the route of the spy?a)0b)1c)2d)3Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?, a detailed solution for Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the question that follows.A spy of XYZ kingdom regularly spies between seven enemy camps that are located inside a forest, and are connected to each other by forest roads, FR–1, FR–2, FR–3, FR–4, FR–5, FR–6, and FR–7. The spy has made a map so that he can travel with ease between camps and get the useful information required. However, while travelling between any two enemy camps, the spy always chooses the route which passes through the minimum possible number of enemy camps. If two or more routes pass through the minimum number of enemy camps, he chooses the route for which the distance is also the least. The length of the forest road, directly connecting any two enemy camps, is a multiple of 10. For any pair of enemy camps, the length of a route connecting the two enemy camps and passing through the minimum possible number of enemy camps, is called a forest road stretch between the two enemy camps. The least among all the forest road stretches between two enemy camps is called the minimum forest road stretch between the two enemy camps.The following information is known about the distances between the enemy camps:1. The minimum forest road stretch between FR–4 and FR–6 is 90 miles, while the minimum forest road stretch between FR–2 and FR–6 is 30 miles.2. The highest forest road stretch between FR–1 and FR–7 is 360 miles.3. The minimum forest road stretch between FR–4 and FR–7 is 30 miles.4. The sum of the lengths of the road directly connecting FR–5 to FR–6 and that directly connecting FR–5 and FR–7 is 100 miles.5. The minimum forest road stretch between FR–7 and FR–2 is 70 miles, while the minimum forest road stretch between FR–3 and FR–7 is 110 miles.6. The length of the road directly connecting FR–3 and FR–6 is greater than 110 miles.7.
