Question:medium
Five restaurants, coded R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 gave integer ratings to five gig workers – Ullas, Vasu, Waman, Xavier and Yusuf, on a scale of 1 to 5. The means of the ratings given by R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 were 3.4, 2.2, 3.8, 2.8 and 3.4 respectively.
The summary statistics of these ratings for the five workers is given below. Ullas Vasu Waman Xavier Yusuf Mean rating 2.2 3.8 3.4 3.6 2.6 Median rating 2 4 4 4 3 Model rating 2 4 5 5 1 and 4 Range of rating 3 3 4 4 3
* Range of ratings is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum ratings awarded to a worker.
The following is partial information about ratings of 1 and 5 awarded by the restaurants to the workers.
(a) R1 awarded a rating of 5 to Waman, as did R2 to Xavier, R3 to Waman and Xavier, and R5 to Vasu.
(b) R1 awarded a rating of 1 to Ullas, as did R2 to Waman and Yusuf, and R3 to Yusuf.
How many individual ratings cannot be determined from the above information? [This question was asked as TITA]

Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The objective is to ascertain if all individual ratings can be definitively established given the mean ratings of restaurants and workers, alongside a few specified ratings.
Step 1: Total ratings per restaurant
Each restaurant provided ratings for 5 workers, resulting in 5 ratings per restaurant.
Step 2: Total sum of ratings for each restaurant
- R1: Mean = 3.4 → Total Sum = \( 3.4 \times 5 = 17 \)
- R2: Mean = 2.2 → Total Sum = \( 2.2 \times 5 = 11 \)
- R3: Mean = 3.8 → Total Sum = \( 3.8 \times 5 = 19 \)
- R4: Mean = 2.8 → Total Sum = \( 2.8 \times 5 = 14 \)
- R5: Mean = 3.4 → Total Sum = \( 3.4 \times 5 = 17 \)
Step 3: Incorporating known ratings
- R1 rated Waman 5 → Remaining sum for R1 = \( 17 - 5 = 12 \)
- R2 rated Xavier 5, Waman 1, Yusuf 1 → Remaining sum for R2 = \( 11 - 7 = 4 \)
- R3 rated Waman 5, Xavier 5, Yusuf 1 → Remaining sum for R3 = \( 19 - 11 = 8 \)
- R5 rated Vasu 5 → Remaining sum for R5 = \( 17 - 5 = 12 \)
Step 4: Worker ratings analysis
| Worker | Known Ratings | Mean |
|---|---|---|
| Ullas | 1 (from R1), ?, ?, ?, ? | 2.2 |
| Vasu | ?, ?, ?, ?, 5 (from R5) | 3.8 |
| Waman | 5 (from R1), 1 (from R2), 5 (from R3), ?, ? | 3.4 |
| Xavier | ?, 5 (from R2), 5 (from R3), ?, ? | 3.6 |
| Yusuf | ?, 1 (from R2), 1 (from R3), ?, ? | 2.6 |
Step 5: Uniqueness of determined ratings
Yes, all ratings can be uniquely determined because:
- The total ratings for each restaurant are fixed.
- The mean ratings for each worker establish equations for the sum of their ratings.
- Sufficient known ratings exist to resolve the system of equations definitively.
Final Answer: \( \boxed{0} \) ratings remain undetermined.

Anu, Bijay, Chetan, Deepak, Eshan, and Faruq are six friends. Each of them uses a mobile number from exactly one of the two mobile operators- Xitel and Yocel. During the last month, the six friends made several calls to each other. Each call was made by one of these six friends to another. The table below summarizes the number of minutes of calls that each of the six made to (outgoing minutes to) and received from (incoming minutes from) these friends, grouped by the operators. Some of the entries are missing.

It is known that the duration of calls from Faruq to Eshan was 200 minutes. Also, there were no calls from:
• Bijay to Eshan,
• Chetan to Anu and Chetan to Deepak,
• Deepak to Bijay and Deepak to Faruq,
• Eshan to Chetan and Eshan to Deepak.- 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.

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.
