What was the number of votes secured by the person who was eliminated in round 5?
- 5
- 4
- 6
- Either option A or B
- All of the above possible
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
From the first table, Horvi, Rangirk and Felicia were definitely not voted out because they received no votes against them.
From the 2nd table:
As Daman, Ana, Yaroslav, Gangra were voted against in just one round and the votes against them are at least 5, they definitely must have been voted out in any of the first 5 rounds .
Noa must have not been voted out, as the maximum number of votes against her in any round would be 2 as she is voted against in 3 rounds, with total votes against her as 4 With 2 votes against, even in the fifth round, she could only be the 2nd most voted against.
So, Lima must have been voted out as King was not voted out.
The 2nd most voted votes must be 4 and 3 for King. (as 5 votes are enough to be voted out even in the first round)
Ana must have been voted out in the first round.
If tie is not possible:
If tie is possible:
From the table, Either Lima with four votes or Yaroslav/Gangra with five votes were eliminated in round 5.
So, the correct option is (D).
Top XAT Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation Questions
- Two trains running at constant speed between Jamshedpur and Kolkata take 3 hours and 4 hours respectively. The train from Jamshedpur halves its speed after running for one hour. How much total time do the trains take to meet?
- Two buses travel between Jamshedpur and Kolkata in the opposite directions, on the same road. On that road, the maximum allowed speeds are different (but constant) for the opposite directions. Usually, both buses travel at the respective maximum allowed speeds to their respective destinations: the bus from Jamshedpur to Kolkata takes 4 hours, while the bus from Kolkata to Jamshedpur takes 3 hours.
One day, the two buses start at the same time. However, one hour after starting, the bus from Jamshedpur to Kolkata reduces its speed to half of its maximum allowed speed due to congestion on the road.
If both buses do not stop anywhere in between, how many hours after starting do they meet?
- An artificial swimming pool is circular and water is flowing clockwise at a speed of 3 km/hr. Two swimmers Ayub and Rana start from diametrically opposite points, Ayub in the anticlockwise direction and Rana in the clockwise direction. They first meet at a point such that Ayub has covered 60 m by that time. Their second meeting point is such that Rana has covered another 180 m after the first meeting point. If the speed of Rana in still water is 3 km/hr, find the time taken by Ayub to cover one full circle in the clockwise direction.
- Read the following scenario and answer the THREE questions that follow.
Brijbhushan, a microfinancier, lends money at the rate of Rs.10 per square meter to small farmers at a village. He charges an annual interest rate of 10%. All the farming plots in that village are rectangular, with areas varying between a minimum of 1000 square meters and a maximum of 10,000 square meters.
This year, Brijbhushan has lent money only to five farmers: Aditya, Binod, Chhuttan, Dabloo and Govind. The perimeter of Chhuttan’s plot is 250 meters, with the length and width being at a ratio of 4:1. Aditya’s plot has an area three times the area of Govind’s plot. The area of Aditya’s plot is also the average of the areas of Govind’s plot and Dabloo’s plot. The plots belonging to Aditya, Binod and Dabloo are of the same width, but of different lengths. Moreover, the length of Binod’s plot is the sum of the lengths of Aditya’s plot and Dabloo’s plot. Light Chemicals is an industrial paint supplier with presence in three locations: Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. The sunburst chart below shows the distribution of the number of employees of different departments of Light Chemicals. There are four departments: Finance, IT, HR and Sales. The employees are deployed in four ranks: junior, mid, senior and executive. The chart shows four levels: location, department, rank and gender (M: male, F: female). At every level, the number of employees at a location/department/rank/gender are proportional to the corresponding area of the region represented in the chart.
Due to some issues with the software, the data on junior female employees have gone missing. Notice that there are junior female employees in Mumbai HR, Sales and IT departments, Hyderabad HR department, and Bengaluru IT and Finance departments. The corresponding missing numbers are marked u, v, w, x, y and z in the diagram, respectively.
It is also known that:
a) Light Chemicals has a total of 210 junior employees.
b) Light Chemicals has a total of 146 employees in the IT department.
c) Light Chemicals has a total of 777 employees in the Hyderabad office.
d) In the Mumbai office, the number of female employees is 55.
