Capgemini Company Numerical Ability Arithmetic

Ten coins are distr. Among 4 people P, Q, R, S such that one of them gets a coin, another gets 2 coins, 3rd gets 3 coins, and 4th gets 4 coins. It is known that Q gets more coins than P, and S gets fewer coins than R
a. If the no. of coins distr. To Q is twice the no. distr. to P then which one of the following. is necessarily true?
i. R gets even no. of coins
ii. R gets odd no. of coins
iii. S gets even no. of coins
iv. S gets odd no. of coins

b. If R gets at least two more coins than S which one of the following is necessarily true?
i. Q gets at least 2 more coins than S
ii. Q gets more coins than P
iii. P gets more coins than S
iv. P and Q together get at least five coins

c. If Q gets fewer coins than R, then which one of the following is not necessarily true?
i. P and Q together get at least 4 coins
ii. Q and S together get at least 4 coins
iii.R and S together get at least 5 coins
iv.P and R together get at least 5 coins

Read Solution (Total 5)

a. If the no. of coins distr. To Q is twice the no. distr. to P then,
iv. S gets ODD no. of coins is necessarily true

b. If R gets at least two more coins than S
ii. Q gets more coins than P is necessarily true

c. If Q gets fewer coins than R, then
i. P and Q together get at least 4 coins is not necessarily true.

a. Q has twice the number of coins as P, so P,Q can be P,Q -> (1,2) / (2,4) then corresponding S, R can be S, R -> (3,4) / (1,3).

In both cases, S is odd, but R is even in first case and odd in second. So option (4) is correct.
b.it is clear from the information given in the main instruction, Q gets more coins than P.
c.Q and R can't be 1 as they both are more than P and S respectively.

Q = 2, R = 3 or 4,Then,
P,Q -> 1,2
S,R -> 3,4

Q = 3, R = 4, Then
P,Q -> 1,3 2,3
S,R -> 2,4 1,4

We can see from options that except option (1), all options are correct. Option (1) is incorrect because in case I, P + Q = 3, not 4.
