Comprehension
Anjali, Bipasha, and Chitra visited an entertainment park that has four rides. Each ride lasts one hour and can accommodate one visitor at one point. All rides begin at 9 am and must be completed by 5 pm except for Ride-3, for which the last ride has to be completed by 1 pm. Ride gates open every 30 minutes, e.g. 10 am, 10:30 am, and so on. Whenever a ride gate opens, and there is no visitor inside, the first visitor waiting in the queue buys the ticket just before taking the ride. The ticket prices are Rs. 20, Rs. 50, Rs. 30 and Rs. 40 for Rides 1 to 4, respectively. Each of the three visitors took at least one ride and did not necessarily take all rides. None of them took the same ride more than once. The movement time from one ride to another is negligible, and a visitor leaves the ride immediately after the completion of the ride. No one takes a break inside the park unless mentioned explicitly.
The following information is also known.
1. Chitra never waited in the queue and completed her visit by 11 am after spending Rs. 50 to pay for the ticket(s).
2. Anjali took Ride-1 at 11 am after waiting for 30 mins for Chitra to complete it. It was the only ride where Anjali waited.
3. Bipasha began her first of three rides at 11:30 am. All three visitors incurred the same amount of ticket expense by 12:15 pm.
4. The last ride taken by Anjali and Bipasha was the same, where Bipasha waited 30 mins for Anjali to complete her ride. Before standing in the queue for that ride, Bipasha took a 1- hour coffee break after completing her previous ride

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Let's consider the statement 2: Anjali waited for 30 minutes for Chitra to finish Ride-1 before taking it at 11 am, which was the only time she had to wait for a ride. 
Given that Chitra spent Rs 50, took Ride-1 at 10 am for Rs 20, and left at 11 am, it follows that she must have taken Ride-3 at 9 am.

Chitra's ride schedule: 

 Ride-3Ride-1
Time9am - 10am10am - 11am
CostRs 30Rs 20

Anjali could not have gone on Ride-3 at 10 am, as she was waiting from 10:30 am before taking Ride-1. Therefore, both Chitra and Anjali spent Rs 50 before 12:15 pm. 
Since Anjali only waited for Ride-1, she must have taken it at 11 am, and she began Ride-3 at 12 pm.

Anjali's initial rides:

 Ride-1Ride-3
Time11am - 12pm12pm - 1pm
CostRs 20Rs 30

Given that Bipasha's first ride began at 11:30 am and they collectively spent Rs 50 before 12:15 pm, it follows that her initial ride must have been Ride-2, which costs Rs 50.

Bipasha's first ride:

 Ride-2
Time11:30am - 12:30pm
CostRs 50

Since Ride-3 ends at 1 pm, Anjali's final ride will either be Ride-2 or Ride-4. Given Statement 4, where Anjali and Bipasha took the same final ride, and Bipasha rode it after Anjali, Ride-2 cannot be their last ride. 
Hence, the last ride of both Anjali and Bipasha will be Ride-4.

Full schedule for Anjali:

 Ride-1Ride-3Ride-2Ride-4
Time11am - 12pm12pm - 1pm1pm - 2pm2pm - 3pm
CostRs 20Rs 30Rs 50Rs 40

Given that Bipasha's final ride was Ride-4 and she had a 1.5-hour gap before it, she must have taken one ride between Ride-2 and Ride-4. As Ride-3 closes at 1 pm, her only option is Ride-1.

Full schedule for Bipasha:

 Ride-2Ride-1BreakWaitingRide-4
Time11:30am - 12:30pm12:30pm - 1:30pm1:30pm - 2:30pm2:30pm - 3pm3pm - 4pm
CostRs 50Rs 20  Rs 40

Hence, Anjali completed a total of 4 rides, out of which 3 were completed by 2pm. 
So, the correct option is (A): Ride-1, Ride-2, and Ride-3.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Let's consider Statement 2: Anjali waited for 30 minutes for Chitra to finish Ride-1 before taking it at 11 am, which was the only time she had to wait for a ride.
Given that Chitra spent Rs 50, took Ride-1 at 10 am for Rs 20, and left at 11 am, it follows that she must have taken Ride-3 at 9 am.
So, we get the table for Chitra as follows:

Chitra's Schedule 

 Ride 3Ride 1
Time9am - 10am10am - 11am
CostRs. 30Rs. 20

Anjali could not have gone on Ride-3 at 10 am, as she was waiting from 10:30 am before taking Ride-1.
Since Anjali only waited for Ride-1, she must have taken it at 11 am, and began Ride-3 at 12 pm.

Anjali's Partial Schedule

 Ride-1Ride-3
Time11am - 12pm12pm - 1pm
CostRs. 20Rs. 30

Given that Bipasha's first ride began at 11:30 am and she had spent Rs 50 before 12:15 pm, her initial ride must have been Ride-2 (Rs 50).

Bipasha's Initial Ride

 Ride-2
Time11:30am - 12:30pm
CostRs. 50

Since Ride-3 ends at 1 pm, Anjali’s final ride will either be Ride-2 or Ride-4.
Given Statement 4 (Anjali and Bipasha took the same final ride, and Bipasha rode it after Anjali), Ride-2 cannot be the final ride.
So, their final ride must be Ride-4.

Anjali's Full Ride Schedule

 Ride-1Ride-3Ride-2Ride-4
Time11am - 12pm12pm - 1pm1pm - 2pm2pm - 3pm
CostRs. 20Rs. 30Rs. 50Rs. 40

Bipasha's final ride was Ride-4, and she had a 1.5-hour gap before it. Ride-3 was unavailable after 1 pm, so her only mid-ride option was Ride-1.

Bipasha's Full Ride Schedule

CostRs. 50Rs. 20  Rs. 40

From the above tables, we find that only Ride-1 was taken by all three visitors.

Correct Option: (A) Ride-1

Solution and Explanation

Let's consider Statement 2: Anjali waited for 30 minutes for Chitra to finish Ride-1 before taking it at 11 am, which was the only time she had to wait for a ride. Given that Chitra spent Rs 50, took Ride-1 at 10 am for Rs 20, and left at 11 am, it follows that she must have taken Ride-3 at 9 am.

Chitra's Ride Schedule 

 Ride 3Ride 1
Time9am - 10am10am - 11am
CostRs. 30Rs. 20

Anjali could not have gone on Ride-3 at 10 am, as she was waiting from 10:30 am before taking Ride-1. Therefore, both Chitra and Anjali spent Rs 50 before 12:15 pm. Since Anjali only waited for Ride-1, she must have taken it at 11 am, and then began Ride-3 at 12 pm.

Anjali's Initial Ride Schedule

 Ride-1Ride-3
Time11am - 12pm12pm - 1pm
CostRs. 20Rs. 30

Given that Bipasha's first ride began at 11:30 am and she had spent Rs 50 by 12:15 pm, her first ride must have been Ride-2.

Bipasha's Ride Schedule

 Ride-2
Time11:30am - 12:30pm
CostRs. 50

Since Ride-3 ends at 1 pm, Anjali’s final ride would either be Ride-2 or Ride-4. Given that Anjali and Bipasha took the same final ride and Bipasha rode it after Anjali, Ride-2 can't be their last ride. So, the final ride must be Ride-4.

Anjali's Full Ride Schedule

 Ride-1Ride-3Ride-2Ride-4
Time11am - 12pm12pm - 1pm1pm - 2pm2pm - 3pm
CostRs. 20Rs. 30Rs. 50Rs. 40

Bipasha's final ride was Ride-4 and she had a 1.5-hour gap before it. She must have taken one ride between Ride-2 and Ride-4. Ride-3 is closed by 1 pm, so she could only take Ride-1.

Bipasha's Full Ride Schedule

From the tables, we conclude:

Chitra took 2 rides

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Bipasha spent a total amount of Rs. 110 on tickets for three rides. Let's determine which three rides Bipasha took based on the information provided:

  1. Chitra's Rides: Chitra completed her rides by 11 am and spent Rs. 50. Given Ride-2 costs Rs. 50, she must have taken Ride-2. She didn't take any other ride, as Rs. 50 was her total expense.
  2. Anjali's Rides: Anjali started Ride-1 at 11 am after waiting for Chitra. Her total expenses are Rs. 110 by 12:15 pm. To match Chitra and Bipasha’s expenses (Rs. 50 each by 12:15 pm), Anjali’s first ride (Ride-1) cost Rs. 20. Thus, her combined expense is Rs. 70. To reach Rs. 110, her second ride should cost Rs. 40—so her last ride is Ride-4.
  3. Bipasha’s Rides: To have the same Rs. 50 expense by 12:15 pm, and considering Anjali first did Ride-1, Bipasha could take Ride-1 first, costing Rs. 20. Her second ride must be Ride-3 (costing Rs. 30), making her expenses Rs. 50 by 12:15 pm. The last ride Bipasha took, after her coffee break, and where Anjali also completed her ride, is Ride-4 (cost: Rs. 40). 

Hence, Bipasha's total expenses are: Ride-1 (Rs. 20) + Ride-3 (Rs. 30) + Ride-4 (Rs. 40) = Rs. 110.

Bipasha spent Rs. 110 on all rides.
