Q #4
:

Logical Question

Directions: Refer the following data to answer the questions given below.

There are 11 players on each side in ODI cricket, and one team bats while the others bowl. Then the teams swap after 50 overs. KraigChapal, the coach of the Indian ODI cricket team is a master strategist when it comes to shuffling the batting order. In a match in which India scored 340 runs, 9 batsmen were out and the last unbeaten pair of batsmen together scored 40 runs before they ran out of overs. In the batting order the 4th and the 5th men each scored exactly a 100 runs, while the first two batsmen scored 50 between themselves.

The ratio of the runs scored by the first three batsman, Ganguly, Sehwag and Pathan (though not necessarily) 1, 2 and 3 in the batting order) was 6 : 4 : 3. Two consecutive batsman scored 0, and the first 9 batsmen in the batting order scored either 0 or scores that were multiples of 5. 

Dhoni was the 8th batsmen in the batting order, and the next person after Dhoni scored a 5. The runs scored by Tendulkar if added to theextras (bonus runs not scored by any batsmen but given by the bowling team to the batting team) equaled Ganguly’s scores. Sehwag scored one-fifth of Yuvaraj and equal to Tendulkar. Srinath scored 5 times what Tendulkar scored. Munaf and Mohanty scored 18 and 22 respectively, while together they scored 25 more than Dhoni and Pathan together. Kumble was India’s most successful bowler of the match, and Harbhajan took 2 wickets less than Kumble.

What is the total of the least 5 scores in the Indian Cricket team (excluding extras)?
+

 

  • It is given that the first a batsmen scored multiples of 5.
  • Also the first two scored a total of 50 and the ratio of scores of the first three batsmen Ganguly, Sehwag and Pathan was 6 : 4 : 3. i.e. either 6x + 4x = 50 or 6x + 3x = 50 or 4x + 3x = 50
  • As the only possibility is 6x + 4x = 50, Ganguly scored 30, Sehwag scored 20 and Pathan scored 15. Hence Pathan was 3rd in the batting order.

 

  • Yuvraj scored 5 times that of sehwag, i.e. 100.
  • Tendulkar scored equal to sehwag, i.e. 20
  • Srinath scored 5 times Tendulkar, i.e.100]
  • Hence Yuvaraj and Srinath occupy positives 4 and 5, not necessarily in that order
  • Ganguly = Tendulkar + Extras.  Extras = 10
  • Munaf and Mohanty are batsmen 10 and 11, though not necessarily in that order.
  • Together they score 40 which is equal to 25 + Dhoni + Pathan. Hence Dhoni = 0
  • Batsmen 9 scored 5. As the two who score 0 are consecutive, batsmen 7 scores 0. Hence Tendulkar has only one slot left, i.e. 6. Now all questions can be answered.
The answer is: 38

Q #5
:

Logical Question

Directions: These questions are based on the following data below.

Five friends – Pramod, Quadir, Robjot, Samuel and Tarun – have Rs.150 among them. The following information is also known.

If each of the five amounts is a multiple of 5 and the amount which is an even number is the third highest, then which among the following must be the even amount?
+

Following information  is given:

(i)    None had less than Rs.15 (each person had ≥ Rs.15)

(ii)    Four odd numbers, one even number

(iii)    No two persons had the same amount.

(iv)    Maximum amount = odd.

(v)    Total sum = Rs.150

 

 

From the given condition, the only possible amounts are 15, 25, 35, 45 and 30. Hence, the even amount is 30.
