Three children, Rekha, Shankar and Mukesh, were playing the game of Tic-Tac-Toe, on a grid of 3 × 3 squares. Each game was played by all the three children, with the rules slightly modified from the usual, as described below.

Each person has his/her own symbol, referred to as his/her ‘mark’ and in every turn, he/she places the same mark on the grid. The columns are labelled A to C, from left to right, and the rows are numbered 1 to 3, from top to bottom. The position of a mark on the grid is given by the combination of the column and row labels of the square in which it is placed. For example, a mark in position C2 means that the mark is in column C and row 2. The first person to play a game can place his mark on any square in the 3 × 3 grid except B2. In every subsequent turn, each person has to place his/her mark in any empty square, which is not in the same row or column as that of the mark that was placed immediately before his turn not in any diagonal position in any of the four possible directions to that of the mark that was placed immediately before his turn.

For example, if the first person places his/her mark in C2, the second person cannot place his/her mark in any square in column C or any square the 2nd row or in the squares in the diagonal positions to C2, i.e. B1 and B3. The first person to get three of his/her marks in a straight line (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) in the grid is the winner. The game ends in a tie if all the nine squares are full or if it is not possible to place any other mark in the remaining squares, without having a winner.

A fresh grid is drawn at the beginning of each game.

The marks of the three persons, Rekha, Shankar and Mukesh, are ‘X’, ‘O’ and ‘I’ respectively. It is known that in any game that they played, the first person to play did not place his/her mark in B2.

Q1. If a total of 34 games were played, how many games ended in a tieti (Write 99 if CBD)

Q2. In one of the games, Rekha, who was the first person to play, ended up winning the game. Which of the following options could represent the grid immediately after she placed her first mark?

A firm evaluates the performance of five of its employees and their annual increments are based on their performance rankings. The firm gives an increment of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 percent, in decreasing order of ranks. Thus, the worst performing person is ranked 5 and gets 5% increment. The top three employees also receive a bonus (in Rs.) of 5000, 3000 and 2000 respectively. The salary of all employees is Rs. 10,000 in the year 2000.

Crash time indicates the time in which the corresponding activity can be completed at the earliest along with the corresponding cost involved i.e., crash cost. This crash cost for any activity gets proportionately reduced if the duration (crash time) is increased.

For example, if activity B is to be completed in four weeks, then the cost involved would be Rs. 4,000. On the other hand, if this activity is crashed by one week then the additional cost will be Rs. 1,000 and if it is crashed by two weeks and is now completed in two weeks then the corresponding additional cost would be Rs. 2,000 i.e. Activity B can also be completed in 2 weeks at a cost of Rs. 6,000.

Assume that all the dependent activities commence immediately on completion of the activities preceding them.

Given below is a set of inter-related activities required to complete a project undertaken by a contractor.

  1. Complete the project in 8 weeks.
  2. Complete the project in 9 weeks.
  3. Complete the project in 11 weeks.
  4. Complete the project in 7 weeks.
Q3. Taking the appropriate condition from the previous question, if activity B starts late by 2 weeks, then what would be the minimum cost involved in the project?
