Question:
Direction: Ten pirates - Horvi, Rangirk, Felicia, Ana, Noa, Gangra, Yarsolav, Daman, Lima and King took a vote on who should be the leader.
A pirate always votes for themselves though. So, they decided on voting out the one who shouldn’t be a leader for the first five rounds and for the remaining four rounds, the leader would be voted for. A pirate never votes against themselves.
At the end of each of the nine rounds, one person was eliminated and that person couldn’t take part in the voting. In case of a tie in the voting, eliminated people chose one of the tied people to vote out.
At the end of the voting for the first five rounds – “For who shouldn’t be the leader” - the total votes were as shown as in the table below:Pirate Votes Against Horvi 0 Rangirk 0 Felicia 0 Ana 9 Noa 4 Gangra 5 Yarsolav 5 Daman 6 Lima 4 King 7
In each of the five rounds, only two pirates were voted against. The table given below shows the number of rounds in which each of the pirates was voted against.
Pirate Votes Against in (Number of rounds) Horvi 0 Rangirk 0 Felicia 0 Ana 1 Noa 3 Gangra 1 Yarsolav 1 Daman 1 Lima 1 King 2
It is known that King was not voted out. He was the second most voted pirate in two successive rounds.
Who was eliminated in Round 4 if tie is not possible in the first five rounds?

The Correct Option is B
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, Daman was eliminated in Round \(4\).
So, the correct option is B.

GDP per capita is the GDP of a country divided by its population. The table below provides the following data about Country 1 through Country 8 for the year 2024.
Column 1 gives the country's identity.
Column 2 gives the country's GDP as a fraction of the GDP of Country 9.
Column 3 gives the country's GDP per capita as a fraction of the GDP per capita of Country 10.
Column 4 gives the country's annual GDP growth rate.
Column 5 gives the country's annual population growth rate.
Assume that the GDP growth rates and population growth rates of the countries will remain constant for the next three years. - The table given below shows the amount, in grams, of carbohydrate, protein, fat and all other nutrients, per 100 grams of nutrients in seven foodgrains. The first column shows the foodgrain category and the second column its codename. The table has some missing values.
The following additional facts are known.
1. Both the pseudo-cereals had higher amounts of carbohydrate as well as higher amounts of protein than any millet.
2. Both the cereals had higher amounts of carbohydrate than any pseudo-cereal.
3. All the missing values of carbohydrate amounts (in grams) for all the foodgrains are non zero multiples of 5.
4. All the missing values of protein, fat and other nutrients amounts (in grams) for all the foodgrains are non-zero multiples of 4.
5. P1 contained double the amount of protein that M3 contains. - There are three sections in a question paper, and each section has 10 questions. First section only has multiplechoice questions, and 2 marks will be awarded for each correct answer. For each wrong answer, 0.5 marks will be deducted. Any unattempted question in this section will be treated as a wrong answer. Each question in the second section carries 3 marks, whereas each question in the third section carries 5 marks. For any wrong answer or unattempted question in the second and third sections, no marks will be deducted. A student’s score is the addition of marks obtained in all the three sections. What is the sixth-highest possible score?
