What is the registration number of white car?
Detailed Solution: Question 1
The registration number of white car is 1115.
Given that the registration number of white car has less than 3 different digits. It cannot have only one digit (since no digit occurs 4 times). Hence, the registration number of white car must be a multiple of 5 (i.e. end in a 0 or a 5) and have 2 different digits, i.e. be of the form (aaab/abbb) OR (aabb). Hence, 3a + b = 8 (for which the only possibility is a = 1 and b = 5, since 0 appears only twice) or 2a + 2b = 8 (for which there is no possibility, since 4 does not appear even once and at least one of a and b must be 0 or 5). Hence. only 1115 is possible.
The registration number of white car is exactly a factor of registration number of black car or we can say that the registration number of black car is a multiple of registration number of white car. Multiples of 1115 with four digits are 2230, 3345, 4460, 5575, 6690, 7805 and 8920. Of these, only 6690 is possible (8920 and 7805 are not possible because the registration number of red car should have three digits, which are not in anyone else's registration number, i.e. the registration number of red car should have three digits out of 2, 7, 8 and 9).
Since 9 is present in the registration number of black car, red car's registration number should contain 2, 7, 8 and 5/0. The registration number of grey car will have the digits 3, 3, 5 and 5/0. But, if there are two 5s in the registration number of grey car, it will not have at least three distinct digits. Hence, the registration number of grey car will have the digits 3, 3, 5 and 0 and the registration number of red car will be either 2785 or 2875.
From (5), 2785 + 500 = 3285 and 2875 + 500 = 3375. The registration number of grey car should lie between 3285 and 3475. The only possible values of registration number of grey car are 3350 and 3305. Since both these values are less than 3375, the registration number of red car cannot be 2875. Therefore, the registration number of red car must be 2785 and the registration number of grey car can be 3350 or 3305.
How many of the four cars have a registration number which is a multiple of 3? Key in the correct value.
Detailed Solution: Question 2
Only the registration number of black car i.e.6690 is a multiple of 3.
Given that the registration number of white car has less than 3 different digits. It cannot have only one digit (since no digit occurs 4 times). Hence, the registration number of white car must be a multiple of 5 (i.e. end in a 0 or a 5) and have 2 different digits, i.e. be of the form (aaab/abbb) OR (aabb). Hence, 3a + b = 8 (for which the only possibility is a = 1 and b = 5, since 0 appears only twice) or 2a + 2b = 8 (for which there is no possibility, since 4 does not appear even once and at least one of a and b must be 0 or 5). Hence. only 1115 is possible.

But, if there are two 5s in the registration number of grey car, it will not have at least three distinct digits. Hence, the registration number of grey car will have the digits 3, 3, 5 and 0 and the registration number of red car will be either 2785 or 2875.
From (5), 2785 + 500 = 3285 and 2875 + 500 = 3375. The registration number of grey car should lie between 3285 and 3475. The only possible values of registration number of grey car are 3350 and 3305. Since both these values are less than 3375, the registration number of red car cannot be 2875. Therefore, the registration number of red car must be 2785 and the registration number of grey car can be 3350 or 3305.
What is the sum of registration numbers of red car and black car?
Detailed Solution: Question 3
The sum of the registration numbers of red car and black car is 9475.
Given that the registration number of white car has less than 3 different digits. It cannot have only one digit (since no digit occurs 4 times). Hence, the registration number of white car must be a multiple of 5 (i.e. end in a 0 or a 5) and have 2 different digits, i.e. be of the form (aaab/abbb) OR (aabb). Hence, 3a + b = 8 (for which the only possibility is a = 1 and b = 5, since 0 appears only twice) or 2a + 2b = 8 (for which there is no possibility, since 4 does not appear even once and at least one of a and b must be 0 or 5).

Detailed Solution: Question 4
It is given that the registration number of white car has less than 3 different digits. It cannot have only one digit (since no digit occurs 4 times). Hence, the registration number of white car must be a multiple of 5 (i.e. end in a 0 or a 5) and have 2 different digits, i.e. be of the form (aaab/abbb) OR (aabb).

How many cars have a registration number with either of the middle two digits same as either of the extreme two digits?
Detailed Solution: Question 5
It is given that the registration number of white car has less than 3 different digits. It cannot have only one digit (since no digit occurs 4 times). Hence, the registration number of white car must be a multiple of 5 (i.e. end in a 0 or a 5) and have 2 different digits, i.e. be of the form (aaab/abbb) OR (aabb).

Based on the given information, the least number of volunteers involved in both the FR and TR projects but not in the ER project is __________.
Detailed Solution: Question 6
Number of volunteers involved in both TR and ER but not FR = b
a + b + 4 = 10
a + b = 6
Let number of volunteers involved in both FR and ER but not TR = x
Total = 17 + x + 8 + 8 = 37
x = 4
Consider the Venn diagram shown below:
Number of volunteers involved in FR > Number of volunteers involved in TR
Number of volunteers involved in FR > Number of volunteers involved in ER
∴ 16 + a > 17 and 16 + a > 16 + b or a > b
∴ a and b can be (6, 0), (5, 1), or (4, 2).
Least number of volunteers involved in both the FR and TR projects but not in the ER project = Least value of a = 4
Which of the following additional pieces of information would enable to find the exact number of volunteers involved in the various projects?
Detailed Solution: Question 7
Number of volunteers involved in both TR and ER but not FR = b
a + b + 4 = 10
a + b = 6
Let number of volunteers involved in both FR and ER but not TR = x
Total = 17 + x + 8 + 8 = 37
x = 4
Consider the Venn diagram shown below:
We can obtain the information in options 2 and 3 from the data given in the passage.
The information in option 1 will give us the value of a, which in turn will give us the value of b. Thus, option 1 would enable us to find the exact number of volunteers involved in the various projects.
Which of the following statements necessarily follows after this rearrangement?
Detailed Solution: Question 8
Number of volunteers involved in both TR and ER but not FR = b
a + b + 4 = 10
a + b = 6
Let number of volunteers involved in both FR and ER but not TR = x
Total = 17 + x + 8 + 8 = 37
x = 4
Consider the Venn diagram shown below:
Number of volunteers involved in FR > Number of volunteers involved in ER
16 + a > 16 + b
a and b can be (6, 0), (5, 1), or (4, 2).
After the volunteers withdraw as mentioned, the number of volunteers working on different projects is as shown below:
After the volunteers withdraw as mentioned,
From options:
1. The lowest number of volunteers is now in the TR project.
Incorrect: For b = 0, Number of volunteers working on ER = 15
2. More volunteers are now in the ER project as compared to the TR project.
Incorrect: For b = 0, Number of volunteers working on ER = 15
3. More volunteers are now in the TR project as compared to the ER project.
Incorrect: For b = 2, Number of volunteers working on ER = 17
4. More volunteers are now in the FR project as compared to the ER project.
Correct for all possible value of a and b: 14 + a > 15 + b
(a, b) = (6, 0), (5, 1), (4, 2)
∴ More volunteers are now in FR than in ER.
Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer.
Which of the projects now has the highest number of volunteers?
Detailed Solution: Question 9
Number of volunteers involved in both TR and ER but not FR = b
a + b + 4 = 10
a + b = 6
Let number of volunteers involved in both FR and ER but not TR = x
Total = 17 + x + 8 + 8 = 37
x = 4
Consider the Venn diagram shown below:
Let m volunteers be added to the TR project and n be added to each of the FR and ER projects.
Then, 7 + m = 8 + n
m = n + 1
Also, b + 2 = 5
∴ b = 3 and a = 3
Number of volunteers working on TR = 7 + n + 1 + 4 + 5 = 17 + n
Number of volunteers working on FR = 17 + n
Number of volunteers working on ER = 18 + n
Thus, ER has the highest number of volunteers.
Hence, option 4 is the correct choice.
Which of the following is true?
Detailed Solution: Question 10
Number of volunteers involved in both TR and ER but not FR = b
a + b + 4 = 10
a + b = 6
Let number of volunteers involved in both FR and ER but not TR = x
Total = 17 + x + 8 + 8 = 37
x = 4
Consider the Venn diagram shown below:
Number of volunteers involved in FR > Number of volunteers involved in TR
Number of volunteers involved in FR > Number of volunteers involved in ER
∴ 16 + a > 17 and 16 + a > 16 + b or a > b
∴ a and b can be (6, 0), (5, 1), or (4, 2).
Maximum number of volunteers involved in both the FR and TR projects but not in the ER project = Maximum value of b = 2
Maximum total number of volunteers involved in ER = 2 + 4 + 4 + 8 = 18
