Comprehension

The management of a university hockey team was evaluating performance of four women players - Amla, Bimla, Harita and Sarita for their possible selection in the university team for next year. For this purpose, the management was looking at the number of goals scored by them in the past 8 matches, numbered 1 through 8. The four players together had scored a total of 12 goals in these matches. In the 8 matches, each of them had scored at least one goal. No two players had scored the same total number of goals.
The following facts are known about the goals scored by these four players only. All the questions refer only to the goals scored by these four players.
1. Only one goal was scored in every even numbered match.
2. Harita scored more goals than Bimla.
3. The highest goal scorer scored goals in exactly 3 matches including Match 4 and Match 8.
4. Bimla scored a goal in Match 1 and one each in three other consecutive matches.
5. An equal number of goals were scored in Match 3 and Match 7, which was different from the number of goals scored in either Match 1 or Match 5.
6. The match in which the highest number of goals was scored was unique and it was not Match 5.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

  1. The total number of goals scored by Amla, Bimla, Harita, and Sarita is 12.
  2. Since only one goal was scored in every even-numbered match, the total number of goals scored in even-numbered matches is \(4 \times 1 = 4\).
  3. The remaining goals must be scored in odd-numbered matches. So, the total number of goals scored in odd-numbered matches is \(12 - 4 = 8\).
  4. The highest goal scorer scored goals in exactly 3 matches including Match 4 and Match 8. This implies that the highest goal scorer scored goals in two other matches (odd-numbered) apart from matches 4 and 8.
  5. Bimla scored a goal in Match 1 and one each in three other consecutive matches. This means that Bimla scored goals in Matches 1, 2, 3, and 4.
  6. An equal number of goals were scored in Match 3 and Match 7, which was different from the number of goals scored in either Match 1 or Match 5. Since Bimla scored in Match 1 and Match 3, and Match 1 is not equal to Match 3, it follows that Match 5 is equal to Match 7. Therefore, Match 5 and Match 7 both have the same number of goals.
  7. The match in which the highest number of goals was scored was unique and it was not Match 5. Since Match 5 is not the match with the highest number of goals, it means that either Match 8 or one of the odd-numbered matches is the one with the highest goals. 
    Based on the above information, we can deduce the following: 
    -Amla, Bimla, Harita, and Sarita scored goals in Matches 2, 4, 6, and 8. 
    - Bimla scored in Matches 1, 2, 3, and 4. - Match 5 has the same number of goals as Match 7. 
    - The highest goal scorer scored in Matches 4, 8, and one of the odd-numbered matches.

Since Bimla scored goals in Matches 2, 3, and 4, and the highest goal scorer scored in Matches 4 and 8, the only possibility left for the highest goal scorer's other match is Match 6. Therefore, the distribution of goals can be deduced as follows:
- Amla: Match 2 
- Bimla: Match 1, 3, 4 
- Harita: Match 8 
- Sarita: Match 6 Now we can determine the number of goals scored in Match 7, which is equal to the number of goals scored in Match 5.

According to Fact 5, these two matches have the same number of goals. Therefore, the number of goals scored in Match 7 is 1. Hence, the answer is 1 goal scored in Match 7.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

From the given information and our previous analysis:
Bimla scored goals in Matches 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Match 5 has the same number of goals as Match 7.
The highest goal scorer scored in Matches 4, 8, and one of the odd-numbered matches.
Using these details, let's consider the options one by one:
Sequence: 3, 1, 2, 1

Bimla scored in Matches 1, 2, 3, and 4 (matches 1, 3, and 4 are consecutive).
Match 5 and Match 7 must have the same number of goals, and they are not included in this sequence. This option does not align with the given information.
Sequence: 4, 1, 2, 1 (Correct)

Bimla scored in Matches 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Match 5 and Match 7 must have the same number of goals, which is not specified here, but it's consistent with the given information.
Sequence: 5, 1, 0, 1

Bimla scored in Matches 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Match 5 and Match 7 must have the same number of goals, and this sequence doesn't account for that.
Sequence: 3, 2, 1, 2

Bimla scored in Matches 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Match 5 and Match 7 must have the same number of goals, and this sequence doesn't account for that.

Based on the analysis, the correct sequence of goals scored in matches 1, 3, 5, and 7 is '4, 1, 2, 1'.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Let's analyze the given information and the implications of Harita scoring goals in one more match compared to Sarita:
From the information given earlier:
- Amla, Bimla, Harita, and Sarita scored goals in Matches 2, 4, 6, and 8.
- Bimla scored goals in Matches 1, 2, 3, and 4.
- Harita scored goals in Match 8.
- Sarita scored goals in Match 6.

Since Harita scored goals in one more match than Sarita, this implies:
- Harita scored in Match 6 and Match 8.
- Sarita scored in Match 6.

Now, let's evaluate the given statements:
Statement-1: Amla scored goals in consecutive matches.
- Amla scored goals in Match 2.
- This statement is not necessarily true, as Amla did not score in consecutive matches.

Statement-2: Sarita scored goals in consecutive matches.
- Sarita scored goals in Match 6.
- This statement is not true, as Sarita did not score in consecutive matches.

Neither of the statements is necessarily true based on the given information and the implication that Harita scored goals in one more match than Sarita.
Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the statements."
