Directions for questions 9 to 11: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.
An MNC recently started its operations in India by setting up its first three branches, one each at Hyderabad, Mumbai and
Bangalore. The company recruited N management trainees at the Hyderabad branch. Based on their performance during the
training, these trainees were ranked such that each of them got a different rank from 1 to N. These ranks were to be retained by the
trainees for the next one year. Between any two ranks, the numerically lower rank is considered to be the better rank and the
numerically higher rank is considered to be the worse rank. The company now decided to transfer some of these trainees to the
other branches. The procedure followed for the transfer of the trainees is as follows:
Once the process of transfers starts, any trainee, say T, working at any branch, say X, can be transferred to any other branch, say
Y, as long as the flowing two conditions (i) and (ii) are satisfied:
(i) The rank of T is not worse than that of any other trainee at the branch X.
(ii) The rank of T is not worse than that of any other trainee at the branch Y.
A transfer of any trainee from any branch to any other branch is called a shift.
During the course of the year, it was found that the branch at Bangalore had the maximum growth in business, owing to which the
company ensured that all the trainees ended up being transferred to the Bangalore branch by the end of the year.
9. If the number of management trainees recruited was three, what was the minimum number of shifts that were made by
the end of the year?
(1) 4
(2) 5
(3) 6
(4) 7
Additional directions for questions 10 and 11:
After the first year, all the management trainees recruited in the first year ceased to be trainees and became managers and none of
them could be transferred any more. Further, at the beginning of the second year, the company opened one more branch at
Chennai and again recruited M management trainees, all of who were recruited only at the Hyderabad branch. These trainees were
subsequently ranked from 1 to M and some of them were transferred to the other branches following the same procedure as that
followed in the first year (mentioned above).
However, due to a severe resource crunch at the Mumbai branch during the second year, the company ensured that all the
management trainee ended up being transferred to the Mumbai branch by the end of the second year.
10. If the number of management trainees recruited in the second year was four, what was the minimum number of shifts
that were made in the second year
(1) 8
(2) 9
(3) 10
(4) 11
11. If the number of management trainees recruited in the second year was five, what was the minimum number of shifts
that were made in the second year?

Niranjan, a faculty member in reasoning, entered a classroom containing exactly n students. As all the students were new to him,
he decided to familiarize himself with each student by name. To make this a fun filled exercise he followed the following process:
He would call out the names of exactly m students (m n) from the register containing all the n names and ask them to stand up,
all at the same time, once he finished calling out the m names. He would then memorize, that group of m names, the group of m
students who stood up, the rest of the names in the register and the group of students sitting down and then ask the students to sit
down. Thereby he associated the group of m names with the group of students who stood up and the remaining names with the
group of students sitting down. Since all the m students stand up together, it is not possible for him to figure out the respective
names of the m students. However, he intended to repeat this process of calling out m names for exactly k times, by the end of
which, he would be able to recognize each of the n students in the class by name. Assume that all students whose names were in
the register were present in the class and that every student whose name was called stoop up without fail.
21. If m = 4 and k = 3, then n can at most

Mr. Goldfinger had a safe with L locks. The safe could be opened only if all the L keys corresponding to the L locks were
available. As he was planning to go abroad for a short while, he employed a team of guards to look after his safe. He also made D
duplicates of each of these L keys and kept the original set of L keys with himself. For each lock, he gave the D duplicate keys to
different guards such that no guard got more than one key for that lock. In this manner, he distributed all the duplicate keys of all the

locks among his guards so that any three guards, together, could open the safe but no two of them together, could open it. Further
the number of keys given to each guard was the same.
