A. 388
B. 355
C. 361
D. none of these

SOLUTION

Solution : D

First we need to assign a category for the value 1806, by trial and error = 301 to 400 category. Let x be the no. of gulab jamuns

6x-300= 1806
x=21066=351

hence, the answer is none of these

Question 6

A & B of Blue team ate 221 and 431 Gulab jamuns respectively. C &D of Green team ate 200 and 321 Gulab jamuns respectively. What is the difference in the points rewarded between the two teams?

A. 1146

C. 1189
D. 1445

SOLUTION

Solution : A

A makes 221(5)-200 and B makes 431(7)-500. total= 3422

C makes 200(4)-150 and D makes 321(6)-300. total = 2276

Difference= 1146

Question 7

If Shaila’s capacity is 250-450 Gulab Jamuns then what is difference in the minimum and maximum points she can obtain ?

A. 2500
B. 3500
C. 3450
D. 4050
E. 1600

SOLUTION

Option E is the correct answer.

Question 8

What is the maximum difference in the number of points between any 2 people having consecutive number of jamuns?

A. 1000
B. 1080
C. 1010
D. 1200

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Lets consider all possible cases

100-101= 150-203=53

150-151= 350-454= 104

200-201=650-805=155

….

500-501=3000-4010=1010

Which is the maximum possible.

Question 9

A & B are at a tie at 260 points. There are 5 mins left for the competition to end. Assuming that B eats at the rate of 5 GJ/min from now on, at what rate should A eat Gulab Jamuns to win by 135 points?

A. 6 GJ/min
B. 7 GJ/min
C. 9 GJ/min
D. None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : B

B eats at the rate of 5 GJ/min means that in 5 mins he eats 25 Gjs. Now

260 points = 120 jamuns

another 25 jamus= 145 jamuns

points= 335

to win by 35 points, A needs to have 470 points, that accounts for 120 + 35 jamuns

rate= 1355 = 7 GJ/min

Question 10

How much money did Disha win in all?  

A. 534
B. 564
C. 524
