Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the number of fruits in the basket at the end of the given order sequence, let's analyze each step according to the described rules:

• Order 'One': Add 1 apple
• Order 'Two': Add 1 guava
• Order 'Three': Add 1 orange
• Order 'Four': Remove 1 apple and 1 guava

Given Order Sequence: \(1\ 2\ 3\ 3\ 2\ 1\ 4\ 2\ 3\ 1\ 4\ 2\ 2\ 3\ 3\ 1\ 4\ 1\ 1\ 3\ 2\ 3\ 4\)

We will track the count of each fruit as well as the total:

Step	Action	Apples	Guavas	Oranges	Total
1	Add 1 apple	1	0	0	1
2	Add 1 guava	1	1	0	2
3	Add 1 orange	1	1	1	3
4	Add 1 orange	1	1	2	4
5	Add 1 guava	1	2	2	5
6	Add 1 apple	2	2	2	6
7	Remove 1 apple, 1 guava	1	1	2	4
8	Add 1 guava	1	2	2	5
9	Add 1 orange	1	2	3	6
10	Add 1 apple	2	2	3	7
11	Remove 1 apple, 1 guava	1	1	3	5
12	Add 1 guava	1	2	3	6
13	Add 1 guava	1	3	3	7
14	Add 1 orange	1	3	4	8
15	Add 1 orange	1	3	5	9
16	Add 1 apple	2	3	5	10
17	Remove 1 apple, 1 guava	1	2	5	8
18	Add 1 apple	2	2	5	9
19	Add 1 apple	3	2	5	10
20	Add 1 orange	3	2	6	11
21	Add 1 guava	3	3	6	12
22	Add 1 orange	3	3	7	13
23	Remove 1 apple, 1 guava	2	2	7	11

The total number of fruits in the basket at the end of the sequence is 11.

Answer 2

To solve this problem, let us process the given sequence of orders and determine the changes to the number of guavas in the basket:

1. Recap the Rules:
   • Order ‘One’: Add 1 apple
   • Order ‘Two’: Add 1 guava
   • Order ‘Three’: Add 1 orange
   • Order ‘Four’: Remove 1 apple and 1 guava
2. Initial state: The basket is empty, so there are 0 guavas.
3. Go through the sequence: \(1\ 2\ 3\ 3\ 2\ 1\ 4\ 2\ 3\ 1\ 4\ 2\ 2\ 3\ 3\ 1\ 4\ 1\ 1\ 3\ 2\ 3\ 4\)
4. Track changes to guavas for each order:

Order	Guava Count Change	Total Guavas
2	+1	1
3	+0	1
3	+0	1
2	+1	2
1	+0	2
4	-1	1
2	+1	2
3	+0	2
1	+0	2
4	-1	1
2	+1	2
2	+1	3
3	+0	3
3	+0	3
1	+0	3
4	-1	2
1	+0	2
1	+0	2
3	+0	2
2	+1	3
3	+0	3
4	-1	2

1. Result: At the end of the sequence, there are 2 guavas in the basket.
2. The correct option is 2.

Answer 3

To determine how many apples are in the basket at the end of the sequence, we need to follow the instructions provided in the sequence order:

• When ordered "1", add one apple to the basket.
• When ordered "2", add one guava to the basket.
• When ordered "3", add one orange to the basket.
• When ordered "4", remove one apple and one guava from the basket if available.

Now, let's process the sequence step-by-step:

1. 1: Add 1 apple.
2. 2: Add 1 guava.
3. 3: Add 1 orange.
4. 3: Add 1 orange.
5. 2: Add 1 guava.
6. 1: Add 1 apple.
7. 4: Remove 1 apple and 1 guava.
8. 2: Add 1 guava.
9. 3: Add 1 orange.
10. 1: Add 1 apple.
11. 4: Remove 1 apple and 1 guava.
12. 2: Add 1 guava.
13. 2: Add 1 guava.
14. 3: Add 1 orange.
15. 3: Add 1 orange.
16. 1: Add 1 apple.
17. 4: Remove 1 apple and 1 guava.
18. 1: Add 1 apple.
19. 1: Add 1 apple.
20. 3: Add 1 orange.
21. 2: Add 1 guava.
22. 3: Add 1 orange.
23. 4: Remove 1 apple and 1 guava.

Through the sequence above, we need to keep track of the number of apples:

• Initial apples after adding and removal actions: 1 (after processing up to step 11).
• Adding 1 apple each in steps 16, 18, and 19.
• Then, 1 more apple removed during the final step 23.

The net number of apples left: 2 apples.

Thus, the correct answer is 2 apples.
