Comprehension
Eight gymnastics players numbered 1 through 8 underwent a training camp where they were coached by three coaches - Xena, Yuki, and Zara. Each coach trained at least two players. Yuki trained only even numbered players, while Zara trained only odd numbered players. After the camp, the coaches evaluated the players and gave integer ratings to the respective players trained by them on a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 being the lowest rating and 7 the highest.
The following additional information is known.
1. Xena trained more players than Yuki.
2. Player-1 and Player-4 were trained by the same coach, while the coaches who trained Player-2, Player-3 and Player-5 were all different.
3. Player-5 and Player-7 were trained by the same coach and got the same rating. All other players got a unique rating.
4. The average of the ratings of all the players was 4.
5. Player-2 got the highest rating.
6. The average of the ratings of the players trained by Yuki was twice that of the players trained by Xena and two more than that of the players trained by Zara.
7. Player-4's rating was double of Player-8's and less than Player-5's.
Question: 1

What best can be concluded about the number of players coached by Zara?

  • Either 2 or 3 or 4 

Hide Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

1. Yuki trained only even-numbered players: 2, 4, 6, and 8, for a total of 4 players.

2. Xena trained more players than Yuki. Since Yuki trained 4 players, Xena trained at least 5.

3. Zara trained only odd-numbered players: 1, 3, 5, and 7.

4. Let's count the players trained by each coach:

  • Yuki trained 4 players (2, 4, 6, 8).
  • Xena trained more than Yuki, meaning Xena trained at least 5 players.
  • Zara trained exactly 2 players: Player 1 and Player 4. This is because Player 1 and Player 4 were trained by the same coach.

5. Zara trained exactly 2 players. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Correct Answer: 4

Solution and Explanation

Here are the given conditions regarding player ratings and coach assignments:
• Yuki coaches Players 2, 4, 6, and 8.
• Zara coaches Players 1, 3, 5, and 7.Nbsp;
• Xena coaches all other players.

Following these conditions and noting that Player 5 and Player 7 have the same rating, we determine the following ratings:

• Player 4: 6
• Player 6: 4
• Player 8: 3
• Player 1: 2
• Player 3: 5
• Player 5: 7

Hide Solution

Correct Answer: 5

Solution and Explanation

Coaches and Players:

  • Yuki: Players 2, 6, 8.Nbsp;
  • Zara: Players 3, 5, 7.
  • Xena: Players 1, 4.

Key Constraints:

  • Total rating sum = 32.
  • Player 2 has the highest rating of 7.
  • Players 5 and 7 have the same rating, denoted by z.
  • Player 4's rating is double Player 8's rating (x), so Player 4 = 2x.
  • All ratings are unique, except for Players 5 and 7.
  • Yuki's average rating is twice Xena's average rating, and 2 more than Zara's average rating.

Assign Ratings:

  • x = 2 (Player 8), so Player 4 = 2x = 4.
  • z = 6 (Players 5 and 7).
  • Player 3 = 3, Player 1 = 5.
  • Player 6 = 5.

Therefore, Player 6's rating is 5.

Question: 4

For how many players the ratings can be determined with certainty?

Hide Solution

Correct Answer: 6

Solution and Explanation

1YukiRatings for even-numbered players are averages.
27Even-numbered, with the highest individual ratings.
3XenaRatings vary among individuals.
4YukiTogether with Player-1.
5ZaraSame as Player-7.
63Average calculation.
7ZaraIncluded in the group.
81Tied to Player-4's rating.

The given conditions allow coaches to interpret their teams differently, helping to identify players with certainty by cross-referencing these conditions. For instance, Player-2 has the highest rating, Player-1 and Player-4 are considered together, and Yuki is associated with more coaches. Player ratings should be planned based on the average condition, balanced with the highest mark and Player-8's relation to Player-4.

Player-5 and Player-7 received the same rating. Considering different combinations helps to better understand scores using the average of 4. By reviewing the conclusions in reverse, players are correctly aligned, with Player-2, Player-4, and Player-8 being rated as appropriately capable.

Players RatedConclusion
1,2,4,5,7,86 players received perfect scores.

A total of 6 players were rated correctly, falling within the [6,6] range. This aligns with the conditions and scores highest based on meaning.

Question: 5

Who all were the players trained by Xena?

Updated On: Nov 24, 2025
  • Player-1, Player-3, Player-4, Player-8
  • Player-1, Player-3, Player-4
  • Player-1, Player-3, Player-4, Player-6 

  • Player-1, Player-4, Player-6, Player-8
Hide Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Xena, Yuki, and Zara are coaches. We need to determine which players Xena trained based on given conditions.

1. Yuki trains only even-numbered players (2, 4, 6, 8). Zara trains only odd-numbered players (1, 3, 5, 7).

2. Xena must therefore train a mix of odd and even players.

3. Rule 1: Yuki trained Player-2. Since Player-2 has the highest rating among even players and Yuki trains all even players, it's logical for Yuki to train Player-2. Yuki must also train another even-numbered player (either 6 or 8). However, Xena must train more players than Yuki.

4. Rule 3: Zara trained Player-5 and Player-7. These players received the same rating. They are both trained by Zara and evaluated, as their ratings do not overlap with other coaches, except in this specific instance.

5. Given the above constraints, Xena trains the remaining players: Player-1, Player-3, Player-4, and Player-8. This is due to the averaging of ratings and the identified player overlaps.

Xena trains more players than Yuki (whose assigned players are 2 and 6, making a two-player group). Xena also trains both odd and even players. Therefore, Xena successfully trains Player-1, Player-3, Player-4, and Player-8.
