A, B, C, D, E and F are the six police stations in an area, which are ...
It is given that none of the streets has more than one team traveling along it in any direction at any point in time (point 1), which implies at 9.00 hrs, all 4 teams have chosen different roots from the starting point.
It is also known that Teams 2 and 3 are the only ones in stations E and D respectively at 10:00 hrs, and Team 1 and Team 4 are the only teams that patrol the street connecting stations A and E.
It is only possible when Team 2 traveled (A-E) via F, and Team 3 reached station D via station C.
It is also known that Teams 1 and 3 are the only ones in Station E at 10:30 hrs, and Team 4 never passes through Stations B, D, or F. Hence, Team 1 must have chosen the (A-B) root at the starting point, and Team 4 has chosen the (A-E) root at 9.00 hrs.
Hence, Team 1 will reach B at 9.30, and come to A' at 10.00 hrs. After that, they will go to E at 10.30 hrs.
Since Team 4 never passes through stations B, D, or F. Team 4 only can pass through stations A, E, and C.
Hence, the roots of team 4 to reach station E at 11.30 will be (A-E-A-C-A-E) or (A-E-A-E-A-E).

Since team 1 is already traveling to E from A at 10.00 hrs, at that time team 4 can't choose the same route. Hence, the final route for team 4 to reach E at 11.30 is (A-E-A-C-A-E), and at 12.00 hrs, team 4 will come back to station A.
Hence, the complete route diagram for team 4 is (A-E-A-C-A-E-A)
We can see that team 1 is at station E at 10.30 hrs, and they will reach station B at 11.30 hrs, which is only possible when they travel to B via A.
Hence, the complete route diagram for team 1 is (A-B-A-E-A-B-A), It is also known that Teams 1 and 3 are the only ones in station E at 10:30 hrs.
The only possible root for Team 2 at 10.00 hrs is from E to F since they can't choose E to D because Team 3 is already on this route. Since team 3 has to reach A at 12.00. The only possible combination for team 3 is E-D-C-A
Now the roots for team 2 going back to A is from F at 10.30 hrs (F-A-F-A) or (F-E-F-A).
Hence, the final table is given below:
From the table, we can see that team 4 passed station E 2 times in a day

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 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?
