DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.
Princess, Queen, Rani and Samragni were the four finalists in a dance competition. Ashman, Badal, Gagan and Dyu were the four music composers who individually assigned items to the dancers. Each dancer had to individually perform in two dance items assigned by the different composers. The first items performed by the four dancers were all assigned by different music composers. No dancer performed her second item before the performance of the first item by any other dancers. The dancers performed their second items in the same sequence of their performance of their first items.
The following additional facts are known.
- No composer who assigned item to Princess, assigned any item to Queen.
- No composer who assigned item to Rani, assigned any item to Samragni.
- The first performance was by Princess; this item was assigned by Badal.
- The last performance was by Rani; this item was assigned by Gagan.
- The items assigned by Ashman were performed consecutively. The number of performances between items assigned by each of the remaining composers was the same.
5. Which of the following is true?
- The third performance was composed by Ashman
- The second performance was composed by Dyu.
- The second performance was composed by Gagan
- The third performance was composed by Dyu
6. Which of the following is FALSE?

The number of items atleast doubles and there are total 100 boxes each containing an item. So minimum types can be 2 as 1st prize having 1 item of type A and 2nd having 99 items of type B.
CAT 2019 | DILR Set 3
A new game show on TV has 100 boxes numbered 1, 2, …, 100 in a row, each containing a mystery prize. The prizes are items of different types, a, b, c,… , in decreasing order of value. The most expensive item is of type a, a diamond ring, and there is exactly one of these. You are told that the number of items at least doubles as you move to the next type. For example, there would be at least twice as many items of type b as of type a, at least twice as many items of type c as of type b and so on. There is no particular order in which the prizes are placed in the boxes.
10. What is the minimum possible number of different types of prizes?
Similarly to last one, 1 item of type A then 2 of type B then 4 of type C then 8 of type D then 16 of type E then 32 of type F will sum upto 63 items. There cannot be type G because that will cross 100 item barrier. Hence 6.
11. What is the maximum possible number of different types of prizes?
There is 1 item of type A. If there are exactly 30 items of type B then there will be 60 or more type C. If 69 type C, then This is possible. If there are exactly 45 type C then there must be 2 to 22 type B only summing upto 48 to 68 items. Now Type D must have at least 90 (double of 45) items but it is not possible. Exactly 60 type D is possible if there is 1 type A, 9 type B and 30 type C. 75 of type E is also possible. You ask for the type of item in box 45. Instead of being given a direct answer, you are told that there are 31 items of the same type as box 45 in boxes 1 to 44 and 43 items of the same type as box 45 in boxes 46 to 100.
12. Which of the following is not possible?
- There are exactly 60 items of type d.
- There are exactly 30 items of type b
- There are exactly 45 items of type c
- There are exactly 75 items of type e
Now as per the additional information given in the question, there are a total of 75 boxes in which the same item is given (one in box number 45 and 31 items in 1 - 44 boxes and 43 items in 46 - 100 boxes). Now the remaining 25 items has to be maximized in terms of variety. There is 1 item of type A, so let there be 2 items of type B, 4 items of type C, 8 items of type D. Now after that if try to have 32 items of type E, the total items become more than 100. Thus there can be only 4 more types of items other than the one, which has been used in box number 45. So the total different types of items at the most can be 5.
13. You ask for the type of item in box 45. Instead of being given a direct answer, you are told that there are 31 items of the same type as box 45 in boxes 1 to 44 and 43 items of the same type as box 45 in boxes 46 to 100. What is the maximum possible number of different types of items?
- 6

Six players – Tanzi, Umeza, Wangdu, Xyla, Yonita and Zeneca competed in an archery tournament. The tournament had three compulsory rounds, Rounds 1 to 3. In each round every player shot an arrow at a target. Hitting the centre of the target (called bull’s eye) fetched the highest score of 5. The only other possible scores that a player could achieve were 4, 3, 2 and 1. Every bull’s eye score in the first three rounds gave a player one additional chance to shoot in the bonus rounds, Rounds 4 to 6. The possible scores in Rounds 4 to 6 were identical to the first three.
A player’s total score in the tournament was the sum of his/her scores in all rounds played by him/her. The table below presents partial information on points scored by the players after completion of the tournament.

The Ministry of Home Affairs is analysing crimes committed by foreigners in different states and union territories (UT) of India. All cases refer to the ones registered against foreigners in 2016.
The number of cases – classified into three categories: IPC crimes, SLL crimes and other crimes – for nine states/UTs are shown in the figure below. These nine belong to the top ten states/UTs in terms of the total number of cases registered. The remaining state (among top ten) is West Bengal, where all the 520 cases registered were SLL crimes.
The table below shows the ranks of the ten states/UTs mentioned above among ALL states/UTs of India in terms of the number of cases registered in each of the three category of crimes. A state/UT is given rank r for a category of crimes if there are (r‐1) states/UTs having a larger number of cases registered in that category of crimes. For example, if two states have the same number of cases in a category, and exactly three other states/UTs have larger numbers of cases registered in the same category, then both the states are given rank 4 in that category. Missing ranks in the table are denoted by *.
