Started 2 weeks ago by Shashank in

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

    

Look at the statements given by Erina and Ganeshan. 
Think about the number of candidates in the rooms. 
One room has only one candidate, one room has 2 candidates, so the third room should have 4
candidates. 
So, number of candidates should be distributed as 4, 2, 1. 
But which room has 2 candidates and which one has 4? 
Room number 102 has 2 candidates. G plus one more. Balaram was the third one to enter 101, so
101 should have had at least 3 candidates. 
This implies 103 has only one candidate. 
Fatima is the 4th one into a room. What does this mean? Akhil should also be in the same room as
Fatima.

    

 

A, B and F go to room number 101. C should go to 102, E should go to 103. 
Fatima is the 4th one into a room. Chitra is the last to enter her room. 
So, the one at 7:45 should be entering a different room. Who is this?

    

A, B and F go to room number 101. C should go to 102, E should go to 103. E should be the one
who goes at 7:45 am. 
We have B, D and G remaining. B and D go into 101, G goes to 102. B comes after D as B is the
third to go into 101. 
Write down the different combinations.

    

7:10, 7:15 and 7:25 could be D, B, G or D, G, B or G, D, B. 
Let us move on to questions. 
From the table, we can see that Erina was the last one to reach i.e. at 7:45 am.
