Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the question that follows.
Mr. Webster has an ice-cream shop, where he sells ice creams of different companies (Company A, Company B, Company C, Company D and Company E). The maximum price at which he can sell an ice-cream is called MRP (Maximum Retail Price). The MRP for each of the five ice-cream service companies is a distinct value, such as Rs. 5, Rs. 10, Rs. 15, Rs. 20 and Rs. 25, not necessarily in that order. On a particular day, Mr. Webster sold exactly seven ice-creams, each to a different customer. The customers were Abigail, Avril, Kevin, Lacy, Lexie, Terry and Theon.
The following information is known about the ice-creams that he sold.
(1) He sold at least one ice-cream from each ice-cream company.
(2) The MRP of ice-cream of Company A is greater than Rs. 15, but he did not sell ice-cream of Company A to Avril.
(3) He sold two ice-creams, one to Kevin and one to Lacy, of the same ice-cream company of MRP Rs. 10.
(4) He sold Company D ice-cream to Abigail for Rs. 11 and the maximum selling price of any ice-cream that he sold to any of the seven customers was Rs. 23.
(5) He sold the ice-cream with MRP of Rs. 15 only to Theon.
(6) He sold two ice-creams of Company B, one of which was to Lexie and sold ice-cream of Company E for Rs. 12.

Understanding the Ice-Cream Sales Scenario
Mr. Webster's ice-cream sales involve five distinct MRPs: Rs. 5, Rs. 10, Rs. 15, Rs. 20, and Rs. 25. Let's analyze the information provided to determine the MRP of Company E's ice-cream.
Key Information Breakdown
- Company A's MRP: Greater than Rs. 15.
- Company D's Sale: Sold to Abigail for Rs. 11.
- Ice-Cream Sold to Theon: MRP is Rs. 15.
- Company B's Sales: Two ice-creams sold, one to Lexie.
- Company E's Sale: Sold for Rs. 12.
Step-by-Step Deduction
- Since Company A's MRP is greater than Rs. 15, it can only be Rs. 20 or Rs. 25.
- The MRP of ice-cream sold to Theon is Rs. 15, ruling it out for Company A.
- Abigail received Company D's ice-cream for Rs. 11, which means the MRPs Rs. 5, Rs. 10, and Rs. 12 are still available.
- Kevin and Lacy both received ice-creams priced at Rs. 10, meaning it's not from Company A, which is confirmed since MRP Rs. 10 has been associated with another company.
- Company E has been sold for Rs. 12, confirming it cannot be Rs. 15, Rs. 10, or Rs. 11.
Conclusion
Since the only prices left for Company E, without conflict, is Rs. 12, and all other MRPs have been accounted for or assigned to other companies, the MRP of Company E's ice-cream is indeed Rs. 12.
Thus, the correct answer is that the MRP of Company E's ice-cream is Rs. 12.

Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the questi...
From (2), Company A should have an MRP of Rs. 20 or Rs. 25.
From (4), Company D should have an MRP of Rs. 15 or Rs. 20 or Rs. 25.
From (6), he sold two ice-creams of Company B. He sold ice-cream of another company to Lacy and Kevin. Hence, Mr. Webster would have sold exactly one ice-cream of all the other companies.
From (5), Theon bought an ice-cream from ice-cream company with MRP of Rs. 15. Hence, Company D will not have Rs. 15 as MRP.
From (4), Mr. Webster sold an ice-cream at price of Rs. 23. This cannot be of Company D (since he sold an ice-cream at price of Rs. 11 of Company D).
Therefore, Company A will have an MRP of Rs. 25 and Company D will have an MRP of Rs. 20.
Mr. Webster could not have sold an ice-cream of Company A to Kevin, Lacy, Abigail, Avril, Lexie or Theon. Hence, Mr. Webster sold an ice-cream to Terry of Company A.
From (6), Company E will have an MRP of Rs. 15.
Also, from (3), he sold ice-creams to Kevin and Lacy of Company C.
From (5), Mr. Webster sold an ice-cream of Company E to Theon and sold an ice-cream of Company B to Lexie and Avril.
The following table presents this information.

The maximum retail price of an ice-cream that can be sold of Company E is Rs. 15.
