Three participants – Akhil, Bimal and Chatur participate in a random draw competition for five days. Every day, each participant randomly picks up a ball numbered between 1 and 9. The number on the ball determines his score on that day. The total score of a participant is the sum of his scores attained in the five days. The total score of a day is the sum of participants’ scores on that day. The 2-day average on a day, except on Day 1, is the average of the total scores of that day and of the previous day. For example, if the total scores of Day 1 and Day 2 are 25 and 20, then the 2-day average on Day 2 is calculated as 22.5. Table 1 gives the 2-day averages for Days 2 through 5.
Participants are ranked each day, with the person having the maximum score being awarded the minimum rank (1) on that day. If there is a tie, all participants with the tied score are awarded the best available rank. For example, if on a day Akhil, Bimal, and Chatur score 8, 7 and 7 respectively, then their ranks will be 1, 2 and 2 respectively on that day. These ranks are given in Table 2.
The following information is also known.
1. Chatur always scores in multiples of 3. His score on Day 2 is the unique highest score in the competition. His minimum score is observed only on Day 1, and it matches Akhil’s score on Day 4.
2. The total score on Day 3 is the same as the total score on Day 4.
3. Bimal’s scores are the same on Day 1 and Day 3.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Lets see the final table of total score of Bimal
The question says that Bimal's total score is a multiple of 3,
which means his total score is 27.
This means Akhil's total score is 23.
Akhil scores 23 when his scores on Days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 7, 4, 5, 3, and 4.
So, Akhil's score on Day 2 is 4.
| Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Total Score | |
| Akhil | 7 | \(\frac{4}{5}\) | 5 | 3 | \(\frac{5}{4}\) | 23/24/25 |
| Bimal | 5 | \(\frac{2}{1}\) | 5 | 7 | \(\frac{7}{8}\) | 27/26/25 |
| Chatur | 3 | 9 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 30 |
| Total Score | 15 | 15 | 16 | 16 | 18 | 80 |
The question says that Bimal's total score is a multiple of 3,
which means his total score is 27.
This means Akhil's total score is 23.
Akhil scores 23 when his scores on Days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 7, 4, 5, 3, and 4.
So, Akhil's score on Day 2 is 4.

Solution and Explanation
To determine Bimal's total score given Akhil's total score of 24, let's analyze the information step-by-step:
2-Day Averages:
Participants' Ranks and Scores:
Therefore, Bimal's total score is 26.
2-Day Averages:
- Day 2: 15
- Day 3: 15.5
- Day 4: 16
- Day 5: 17
- Total score of Day 1 = 𝑥x
- Total score of Day 2 = 𝑦y
- Total score of Day 3 = 𝑧z
- Total score of Day 4 = 𝑧z (same as Day 3)
- Total score of Day 5 = 𝑤w
- (x + y) / 2 = 15 ⟹ x + y = 30
- (y + z) / 2 = 15.5 ⟹ y + z = 31
- (z + z) / 2 = 16 ⟹ 2z = 32 ⟹ z = 16
- (z + w) / 2 = 17 ⟹ 16 + w = 34 ⟹ w = 18
- z = 16
- x + y = 30
- y + 16 = 31 ⟹ y = 15
- x + 15 = 30 ⟹ x = 15
- w = 18
- Day 1: 15
- Day 2: 15
- Day 3: 16
- Day 4: 16
- Day 5: 18
Participants' Ranks and Scores:
- Chatur's score pattern:
- Always multiples of 3.
- Highest unique score on Day 2.
- Lowest score on Day 1, equal to Akhil's score on Day 4.
- Day 2: Chatur's score must be 9 (as it's the unique highest score).
- Day 1: Chatur's score must be 3 (as it's the lowest and matches Akhil's score on Day 4).
- Day 1: Chatur = 3, Bimal and Akhil share the remaining 12 (15 - 3) such that Akhil gets 7 (since Akhil ranks 1 on Day 1).
- Day 2: Chatur = 9, the remaining 6 is shared by Bimal and Akhil. Bimal and Akhil could score 2 and 4 respectively (since Bimal ranks 3 and Akhil ranks 2).
- Day 3: Chatur scores 6 (a multiple of 3 and consistent with the total 16). Akhil and Bimal must share the remaining 10.
- Day 4: Chatur again scores 6 (multiples of 3). Akhil scores 3 (same as Chatur’s score on Day 1), and Bimal takes the remaining 7.
- Day 5: Chatur scores 9 (highest), leaving Akhil and Bimal to share 9. Akhil and Bimal could score 4 and 5 respectively.
- Akhil: 7 (Day 1) + 4 (Day 2) + 5 (Day 3) + 3 (Day 4) + 5 (Day 5) = 24
- Bimal: 5 (Day 1) + 2 (Day 2) + 5 (Day 3) + 7 (Day 4) + 7 (Day 5) = 26
- Chatur: 3 (Day 1) + 9 (Day 2) + 6 (Day 3) + 6 (Day 4) + 9 (Day 5) = 33
Therefore, Bimal's total score is 26.
