Venkat, a stockbroker, invested a part of his money in the stock of four companies - A, B, C and D. Each of these
companies belonged to different industries, viz., Cement, Information Technology (IT), Auto, and Steel, in no
particular order. At the time of investment, the price of each stock was Rs.100. Venkat purchased only one stock of
each of these companies. He was expecting returns of 20%, 10%, 30%, and 40% from the stock of companies A, B, C
and D, respectively. Returns arc defined as the change in the value of the stock after one year, expressed as a
percentage of the initial value. During the year, two of these companies announced extraordinarily good results.
One of these two companies belonged to the Cement or the IT industry, while the other one belonged to either the
Steel or the Auto industry. As a result, the returns on the stocks of these two companies were higher than the
initially expected returns. For the company belonging to the Cement or the IT industry with extraordinarily good
results, the returns were twice that of the initially expected returns. For the company belonging to the Steel or the
Auto industry, the returns on announcement of extraordinarily good results were only one and a half times that of
the initially expected returns. For the remaining two companies, which did not announce extraordinarily good
results, the returns realized during the year were the same as initially expected.

Two traders, Chetan and Michael, were involved in the buying and selling of MCS shares over five trading days. At
the beginning of the first day, the MCS share was priced at Rs.100, while at the end of the fifth day it was priced at
Rs.110. At the end of each day, the MCS share price either went up by Rs.10, or else, it came down by Rs.10. Both
Chetan and Michael took buying and selling decisions at the end of each trading day. The beginning price of MCS
share on a given day was the same as the ending price of the previous day. Chetan and Michael started with the same
number of shares and amount of cash and had enough of both. Below are some additional facts about how Chetan
and Michael traded over the five trading days.
l Each day if the price went up, Chetan sold 10 shares of MCS at the closing price. On the other hand, each day if

the price went down, he bought 10 shares at the closing price.

l If on any day, the closing price was above Rs.110, then Michael sold 10 shares of MCS, while if it was below

Rs.90, he bought 10 shares, all at the closing price.

An ATM dispenses exactly Rs. 5000 per withdrawal using 100, 200 and 500 rupee notes. The
ATM requires every customer to give her preference for one of the three denominations of notes.
It then dispenses notes such that the number of notes of the customer’s preferred denomination
exceeds the total number of notes of other denominations dispensed to her.
Q 1: In how many different ways can the ATM serve a customer who gives 500 rupee notes as
her preference?
