Question:medium
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.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

Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The objective is to determine the maximum aggregate funds secured by five firms in 2013. Revenue patterns for each firm are analyzed according to specified rules to calculate the highest possible total.
- Alfloo: Operated from 2009 to 2016, with a total of 21 crores. The first and last years each received 1 crore. Assuming an intermediate peak, a potential pattern like 1→2→3→4→5→4→2→1 (peaking in 2010) sums to 22 crores. Adjusting the peak to 5 crores in 2014 to meet the 21 crore total, Alfloo's 2013 revenue is determined to be 4 crores.
- Bzygoo: This firm, active from 2012 to 2015, is analyzed independently due to constraints. A pattern of 1→3→4→3→1 yields a total of 11 crores, which is viable under certain conditions. Bzygoo's revenue for 2013 is 3 crores.
- Czechy: Commencing operations in 2013 with a total of 9 crores. Starting with 1 crore and assuming growth, a pattern of 1→3→4→1 is hypothesized. Czechy's revenue in 2013 is 1 crore.
- Drjbna: Active from 2011 to 2015, raising a total of 10 crores. The sequence 1→2→4→2→1 maintains the total of 10 crores. Drjbna's revenue for 2013 is 4 crores.
- Elavalaki: Operational from 2010, securing a total of 13 crores. A pattern of growing to a peak, such as 1→3→4→3→1, sums to 12 crores. Consequently, Elavalaki's 2013 revenue is 3 crores.
The preliminary sum of funds raised by all firms in 2013 is: 4 (Alfloo) + 3 (Bzygoo) + 1 (Czechy) + 4 (Drjbna) + 3 (Elavalaki) = 15 crores. After further review and adjustments to ensure compliance with rules regarding peaks and declines, a feasible maximum is established at approximately 17 crores.

Top Questions on Tables
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.
Operator Xitel Operator Yocel
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.- 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.
Table 1: 2-day averages for Days through 5 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 15 15.5 16 17 The following information is also known.Table 2 : Ranks of participants on each day Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Akhil 1 2 2 3 3 Bimal 2 3 2 1 1 Chatur 3 1 1 2 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.

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.
If Akhil attains a total score of 24, then what is the total score of Bimal? (This Question was asked as TITA) - In a coaching class, some students register online, and some others register offline. No student registers both online and offline; hence the total registration number is the sum of online and offline registrations.
