Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.

In the table shown below is the listing of players, seeded from highest (#1) to lowest (#32), who are due to play in an Association of
Tennis Players (ATP) tournament for women. This tournament has four knockout rounds before the final, i.e., first round, second
round, quarterfinals, and semi-finals. In the first round, the highest seeded (seed #1) player plays with the lowest seeded player

C
(seed #32) which is designated as match number 1 of first round; the 2nd seeded player plays with the 31st seeded player which is
designated as match number 2 of the first round, and so on. Thus, for instance, match number 16 i.e last match of first round is to

e
be played between the 16th seeded player and the 17th seeded player.
In the second round, the winner of match number 1 of first round plays with the winner of match number 16 of first round and is

il n
designated as match number 1 of second round. Similarly, the winner of match number 2 of first round plays with the winner of
match number 15 of first round, and is designated as match number 2 of second round. Thus, for instance, match number 8 of the
second round is to be played between the winner of match number 8 of first round and the winner of match number 9 of first round.
The same pattern is followed for later rounds as well.

In a school there were 900 students in Class XII. They belonged to one of the four streams - Science, Medical, Arts and
Commerce. No two streams had the same number of students. The tables given below show partial information about the sets of

books bought by the students of class XII. A set of books contains all subject’s books corresponding to the stream of the student.
Two different books were available for each subject and a student could choose any one of the two, but not both. Table - 1 shows
the percentage of students buying different books (e.g. ‘p’ percent of students in the Science stream bought book A1 for Maths).

Every year, Athletics World Championship takes place where each participated country represents itself by performing well in the

C l
race. This year also, four athletes from each of the five different countries – India, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and Myanmar-
participated in a 400 meters relay race. Each athlete had to run a lap of 100 meters. Once an athlete finished the first lap, another
athlete from the same team had to continue from there for the second lap and so on following the same pattern until the team
finished 400 meters race. Team which finishes the race first will be the team acquiring first position and will be awarded with gold

medal. Similarly the team which finishes the race second and third will acquire 2nd and 3rd position respectively and will be
awarded silver and bronze medal respectively.

Lap 3: Pakistan > Myanmar > Nepal > Bhutan > India
Lap 4: Bhutan > India > Myanmar > Nepal > Pakistan

The following was observed at the end of the event: O n

(a) The fastest runner of a lap gained at least one position, with respect to the previous lap; and the second fastest runner either
gained at least one position or retained the same position, with respect to the previous lap.
(b) The third and the fourth fastest runner can gain a maximum of one position or lose a maximum of one position or can retain
the same position, all with respect to the previous lap.
(c) The slowest runner lost at least one position with respect to the previous lap, unless he is the last person to finish in the
previous lap.

In Round 1, each correct answer carried 10 points and incorrect answer carried no point. If at least 2 questions were answered

correctly, then 10 bonus points were awarded.
Round 2 is the same as Round 1 for the first three questions. But after these three questions being asked in Round 2, an additional
