What was that order?

The ordered sequence executed by the person is as follows :

1 2 3 3 2 1 4 2 3 1 4 2 2 3 3 1 4 1 1 3 2 3 4.

The question asks the final count of apple in the basket.

One apple is placed in the basket on order of ONE and one apple is removed when ordered FOUR.

So,

the number of apples placed in basket = Number of 1's in order sequence.

and

the number of apples taken out of basket = Number of 4's in order sequence.

Then,

the number of apples remaining in the basket = Number of 1's in order sequence - Number of 4's in order sequence = 6 - 4 = 2.

Q.1 How many apples will be there in the basket at the end of the above order sequence ? (a) 4 (b) 3 (c) 2 (d) 1 2.


ANSWER - (C) 2

----------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Each time 1, 2 or 3 ordered, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever 4 is ordered, two fruits are removed from it.

Total number of fruits = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's) = 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4) = 19 - 8= 11.

Q.2 How many fruits will be there in the basket at the end of the above order sequence ? (a) 13 (b) 17 (c) 9 (d) 11

ANSWER - (d) 11

The Game Of Guesses

In a contest, four fruits (an apple, a banana, an orange, and a pear) have been placed in four closed boxes (one fruit per box). People may guess which fruit is in which box. 123 people participate in the contest. When the boxes are opened, it turns out that 43 people have guessed none of the fruits correctly, 39 people have guessed one fruit correctly, and 31 people have guessed two fruits correctly.

How many people have guessed three fruits correctly, and how many people have guessed four fruits correctly?

What was the game?

There is absolutely no way that somebody has guessed 3 correctly since if 3 are correct then 4th has to be correct. Hence, nobody guessed 3 correctly.

So number of people with all 4 guess correct is equal to 123 - 43 - 39 - 31 = 10.

10 people guessed all the 4 fruits correctly.
