Maya weight management clinic had height, weight and BMI records for all its patients. It calculated the BMI as the approximate ratio of weight (in kg) to the square of the height (in m). A partially filled spreadsheet with records for seven randomly selected female patients is shown below. No two patients had the same height or weight. Heights (in cm) and weights (in kg) are integral

As per norms, the clinic classifies patients into four categories based on their BMI: 

Underweight – BMI < 18.5

Normal – 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25

Overweight – 25 ≤ BMI < 30 

Obese – 30 ≤ BMI 

It is also known that: 

  1. The average weight of the random sample selected is 60 kg. 
  2. There is atleast one patient from each category and there are more “Normal” patients than the other three categories combined. The “Overweight” person has been asked to reduce exactly 5 kgs of weight to be just counted as “Normal”.
  3. Nidhi was also taller than Pooja and shorter than Manisha. Rubina was heavier than Manisha but lighter than Pooja
  4. The median height was 1.57 m (for Preeti) while the mean height was between 1.58 and 1.59 m.

A sports drink manufacturing company carries out certain processes while manufacturing each bottle of its product. These processes have been listed in the first column of the table. Some processes can be carried out independently, while others may be dependent on the completion of other processes. The second column of the table lists the processes which must mandatorily be completed before the process mentioned in the first column begins. The third column lists the costs (in Rs.) of carrying out the processes mentioned in the first column to manufacture each bottle of the sports drink. One bottle is said to be manufactured when exactly one of processes E or K is completed. Completion of any process once is sufficient to ensure that all its dependent processes can also be started (provided their respective mandatory processes are also completed). For example: If H is completed once, both A and J can be started, provided C has been completed.
