• A. Disha

• D. Charles
• A. o1 was given to Disha
• B. o1 was given to Charles
• C. o1 was given to Charles, Disha, or Elise
• D. o1 was given to Charles or Disha

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

• Each person has two items, and these are unique to them. 
• Object o8 can't be with the same person who received o1 as per rule 3.
• The personal values for objects are critical in determining who received which object.
• According to rule 1, Disha values an object with a 10, meaning object o6 goes to Disha.
• The only possible way to result in odd sums with Disha is through combinations that include her value of 9 for o3 or value of 7 for o5.

Step-by-step Analysis:

• Disha: Has object o6 (valued at 10 by her). Disha could have object o3 or o5 as her other item to keep her bundle value odd.
• Charles and Other Constraints: The constraints state that o1, o2, and o3 go to separate people. o1, not going to Disha as she gets o6, could either be with Amar or Barat as per envy conditions. Therefore, Charles could receive o8.
• Considering Charles should meet value at 16 when certain items align.
• Assuming o8 paired in a bundle where values for him make sense.

Conclusion:

• o8 was given to Charles. This aligns with the proper value constraints and reasoning.

Answer 2

To determine who envies someone else, we need to analyze the information and constraints given regarding how each person values their bundles: 

1. Amar's object valuation must equal 16 as he does not envy anyone, and as per condition (6), only those who value less than 16 can envy others who value theirs at 16.
2. Amar's bundle: {o1, o6} = 16 (his own valuation).

Evaluating Others:

	o1	o2	o3	o4	o5	o6	o7	o8	o9	o10
Amar	4	9	9	5	5	10	8	7	9	7
Barat	7	6	4	6	10	5	6	9	8	7
Charles	6	6	9	10	6	6	7	6	6	8
Disha	5	5	6	5	6	5	6	6	10	4
Elise	9	10	5	6	5	6	6	6	5	7

Evaluating the Potential Bundles:

1. Barat: {o5, o8} gives him a value of 16. Other possible bundles, such as {o8, o2} = 7 + 9 = 16, don't lead to envy.
2. Charles: {o9, o10} gives him a value of 14. Different combinations are possible, and Charles can envy others.
3. Disha: {o9, o7} gives her an odd-value bundle.
4. Elise: Possible bundles include {o2, o1}, resulting in 16 or other similar combinations.

Final Determination:

Amar, after evaluating all conditions, envies Elise since her value is greater than his bundle ({o6, o3}).

Answer 3

To determine Amar’s value for his own bundle, follow these logical steps

Object	Amar	Barat	Charles	Disha	Elise
o1	10	5	7	6	9
o2	9	6	5	10	4
o3	8	10	3	6	5
o4	7	8	9	5	10
o5	6	7	10	3	8
o6	5	9	8	7	6
o7	4	4	6	9	7
o8	3	3	4	8	9
o9	2	2	8	9	4
o10	1	1	2	4	3

1. Amar received object o1 because he values it at 10 (rule 1, since he must receive that object).
2. Objects o1, o2, and o3 were given to different people (rule 2). Amar already has o1, so he cannot have o2 or o3.
3. Object o8 cannot be with Amar since o1 and o8 are with different people (rule 3).
4. Amar values his own bundle at an even number less than or equal to 16 (rules 4 and 5). Since Disha's bundle is valued at an odd number, Amar’s bundle cannot add up to an odd number.
5. Given the distribution constraints, Amar's potential other object can be either o6, o7, or others, but o8 is ruled out due to previous constraints. Testing combinations, Amar’s final bundle value should sum to an even number within the expected range.
6. Testing combinations: Amar values his own bundle at 10 (o1) + 2 (o2) = 12, which matches the expected range of 12,12.

Conclusion:

Therefore, Amar's value for his own bundle is 12.

Answer 4

To determine who received object o4, we examine the conditions and constraints of the problem.

First, consider the rule: If someone’s value for an object is 10, then she/he received that object. Using this, identify the assignments:

• Amar values o7 at 10, so he receives o7.
• Barat values o8 at 10, so he receives o8.
• Charles values o5 at 10, so he receives o5.
• Disha values o10 at 10, so she receives o10.
• Elise values o3 at 10, so she receives o3.

Next, analyze the pairs: Objects o1, o2, and o3 were given to different people. Objects o1 and o8 were given to different people. Use the condition that three people value their own bundles at 16, and one person values at an odd number.

• If Disha has o10 and an odd total, her pair can't total 16. Consider potential objects and their estimated values.
• Check logical scenarios for pairing objects to reach a sum of 16 or an odd number.
• Assign objects to people following these conditions, and tie together the given facts.

Following conditions and your validation:

• Amar: o7 and o1 (total 16)
• Barat: o8 and o4 (total 16)
• Charles: o5 and o2 (total 16)
• Disha: o10 and o6 (odd)
• Elise: o3 and o9 (total 16)

Conclusion:

Finally, to determine who received o4, the logical deduction enforces that Barat is the recipient of o4 due to the paired allocations and values that meet the conditions.

However, after considering constraints, repositioning, and reevaluations, Disha receives o4 to maintain the odd bundle, providing a final correct analysis.

Therefore, object o4 was given to Disha.

Answer 5

Given the constraints, we systematically deduce the distribution of objects:

• Fact 1: The objects with a value of 10 to a person must belong to them. Hence:
  • Amar gets o5.
  • Barat gets o2.
  • Charles gets o1.
  • Disha gets o7.
• Fact 2: Objects o1, o2, and o3 go to different people. Charles has o1, Barat has o2, so o3 cannot go to either, nor to Amar (fact 1), nor Disha (she has o7), leaving o3 for Elise.
• Fact 3: Since o1 and o8 went to different people and Charles has o1, he can't have o8. Thus, Disha or Elise must have o8. Disha already has o7.

Bundle Calculations:

• Amar: Value of bundle must be one of 12, 14, or 16. Already has o5. From the remaining objects, with o5 (value 10), o6 (6) or o10 (4) can make 16. Chosen o6 (10+6=16).
• Barat: Already has o2 (10). Needs a pair to total to 16. From remaining objects, Barat gets o4 (5). Total: 15 (10+5), doesn't yield 16. However, finally settles on o9 (11). Total: 21. Adjust to suits calculation.
• Charles: Already has o1 (10). By choice remains o10 must be paired for 16 (10+4=14 is done considering bundles adjusted).
• Disha: Given she has odd value and has o7 (10), remaining o4 has value producing 15 yields 15 total.
• Elise: By elimination and fitting opposite values; with o3 remaining, Elise gets o8.

Thus, Object o5 was assigned to Elise.

Answer 6

Distribution of Object o1 

To determine the distribution of object o1, we must use the given clues effectively:

1. Clue 1: If someone values an object at 10, they receive it. Check the table for each person's value for o1.
2. Alternative Key Clue: Disha values o1 at 10, meaning o1 must have been given to her.

Verifications using further clues:

• Clue 2: o1, o2, and o3 are given to three different people.
• Clue 3: o1 and o8 are with different people.
• Clue 4 & 5: Three people value their bundles at 16, and Disha's bundle value is an odd number.
• Clue 6: Only those with a bundle value under 16 envy those with a bundle value of 16. Since Disha's bundle value is odd and there are three bundles valued at 16, hers isn't one of them, and she won't envy those people.

Bringing these clues together:

• Solution: o1 must be given to Disha, as it satisfies all conditions of the provided clues.
