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.
Ganeshan was the first to enter room 102. Therefore no one was there before Ganeshan entered
room 102.
