SECTION A:

SET-1

IMS international school conducted an exam of 5 subjects- Algebra, Geometry, English,

Economics and Statistics. The table below gives the partial information about the marks
scored by 5 students- Gauri, Shilpa, Sheetal, Swati and Varsha in each subject. The marks

marks scored by Varsha in all the subjects by 6 and less than the sum of marks scored by
Sheetal in all the subjects by 2.
III. The sum of the marks scored by the five students in English was equal to the sum of the

Chef Sudhir is preparing orders of toast for three customers A, B and C. Assume that all the
three customers ordered at exactly the same time, and the time to place bread in and remove
toast from the toaster is negligible.
Sudhir has two toasters that can each toast 2 pieces of bread at the same time, and 1 knife to
apply both butter and jam.
(i) It takes 1 minute to lightly toast 2 pieces of bread.
