Comprehension
In a square layout of size 5m × 5m, 25 equal sized square platforms of different heights are built. The heights (in metres) of individual platforms are as shown below:
Individuals (all of same height) are seated on these platforms. We say an individual A can reach art individual B if all the three following conditions are met:
(i) A and B are In the same row or column
(ii) A is at a lower height than B
(iii) If there is/are any individuals (s) between A and B, such individual(s) must be at a height tower than that of A.
Thus in the table given above, consider the Individual seated at height 8 on 3rd row and 2nd column. He can be reached by four individuals. He can be reached by the individual on his left at height 7, by the two individuals on his right at heights of 4 and 6 and by the individual above at height 5.
Rows in the layout are numbered from top to bottom and columns are numbered from left to right.

The heights of the platforms given is as below
| 6 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 3 |
| 9 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 8 |
| 7 | 8 | 4 | 6 | 5 |

Top Questions on Table
- Out of 10 countries -- Country 1 through Country 10 -- Country 9 has the highest gross domestic product (GDP), and Country 10 has the highest GDP per capita. 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. 
- Odsville has five firms – Alfloo, Bzygoo, Czechy, Drjbna and Elavalaki. Each of these firms was founded in some year and also closed down a few years later.
Each firm raised Rs. 1 crore in its first and last year of existence. The amount each firm raised every year increased until it reached a maximum, and then decreased until the firm closed down. No firm raised the same amount of money in two consecutive years. Each annual increase and decrease was either by Rs. 1 crore or by Rs. 2 crores.
The table below provides partial information about the five firms.What is the largest possible total amount of money (in Rs. crores) that could have been raised in 2013? (This Question was asked as TITA)Firm First year of existence Last year of existence Total amount raised (Rs. crores) Alfloo 2009 2016 21 Bzygoo 2012 2015 Czechy 2013 9 Drjbna 2011 2015 10 Elavalaki 2010 13 - Three participants – Akhil, Bimal and Chatur participate in a random draw competition for five days. Every day, each participant randomly picks up a ball numbered between 1 and 9. The number on the ball determines his score on that day. The total score of a participant is the sum of his scores attained in the five days. The total score of a day is the sum of participants’ scores on that day. The 2-day average on a day, except on Day 1, is the average of the total scores of that day and of the previous day. For example, if the total scores of Day 1 and Day 2 are 25 and 20, then the 2-day average on Day 2 is calculated as 22.5. Table 1 gives the 2-day averages for Days 2 through 5.Participants are ranked each day, with the person having the maximum score being awarded the minimum rank (1) on that day. If there is a tie, all participants with the tied score are awarded the best available rank. For example, if on a day Akhil, Bimal, and Chatur score 8, 7 and 7 respectively, then their ranks will be 1, 2 and 2 respectively on that day. These ranks are given in Table 2.
Table 1: 2-day averages for Days through 5 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 15 15.5 16 17 The following information is also known.Table 2 : Ranks of participants on each day Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Akhil 1 2 2 3 3 Bimal 2 3 2 1 1 Chatur 3 1 1 2 2
1. Chatur always scores in multiples of 3. His score on Day 2 is the unique highest score in the competition. His minimum score is observed only on Day 1, and it matches Akhil’s score on Day 4.
2. The total score on Day 3 is the same as the total score on Day 4.
3. Bimal’s scores are the same on Day 1 and Day 3.
What is the minimum possible total score of Bimal? (This Question was asked as TITA)
