"Eight persons - Ajay, Chintu, Dev, Giri, Hari, Kiran, Lalit and Manav - were sitting in eight

equally spaced chairs around the circular table in a restaurant. Each of the eight persons
ordered and paid for exactly one dish among Kachori, Jalebi, Imarti, Halwa, and Samosa
such that each dish was ordered by at least one person. The five dishes were priced ₹250,
₹450, ₹650, ₹750 and ₹850, not necessarily in the same order. Further, it is known that (i)
no two persons who ordered the same dish were sitting next to each other and the prices of
the dishes ordered by any two persons sitting adjacent to each other differed by not more
than ₹200. (ii) Hari, who ordered Imarti, was sitting two places to the left of person who
paid ₹250, while Dev, who ordered Jalebi, paid ₹100 more than what Chintu paid. (iii) the
total amount paid by Lalit, Giri and Hari was ₹100 more than the total amount paid by all
the persons who ordered Halwa and Jalebi. (iv) Kiran, who paid more than ₹650, was the
only person who ordered Kachori, while Giri was sitting two places to the left of Ajay. (v)
Samosa is priced ₹450 but it was not ordered by either Giri or Manav." How to use
deduction, induction, and other forms of reasoning to draw conclusions from the
information provided.?

Sure, here's an example of how to use deduction, induction, and other forms of reasoning to
draw conclusions from the information provided in this LR set:

Solution:
1. Deduction: Deduction involves using logical rules to eliminate possibilities and arrive
at a conclusion. In this example, we can use deduction to eliminate possibilities
based on the given rules.
• Rule 1: No two persons who ordered the same dish were sitting next to each other
and the prices of the dishes ordered by any two persons sitting adjacent to each
other differed by not more than ₹200. This means that we can create a table of
possible seating arrangements and dish orders, eliminating any arrangements that
violate this rule.
• Rule 2: Hari, who ordered Imarti, was sitting two places to the left of the person who
paid ₹250, while Dev, who ordered Jalebi, paid ₹100 more than what Chintu paid.
This means that we can create another table of possible dish orders and prices,
eliminating any orders that violate this rule.
• Rule 3: The total amount paid by Lalit, Giri and Hari was ₹100 more than the total
amount paid by all the persons who ordered Halwa and Jalebi. This means that we
can create a third table of possible dish orders and prices, eliminating any orders
that violate this rule.
• Rule 4: Kiran, who paid more than ₹650, was the only person who ordered Kachori,
while Giri was sitting two places to the left of Ajay. This means that we can create a
fourth table of possible dish orders and prices, eliminating any orders that violate
this rule.
• Rule 5: Samosa is priced ₹450 but it was not ordered by either Giri or Manav. This
means that we can eliminate Samosa as a possible dish order for Giri and Manav.

Using these rules, we can create a combined table of possible seating arrangements and
dish orders and prices, eliminating any combinations that violate the given rules. This table
is too large to show here, but we can use it to draw conclusions through induction.
 2. Induction: Induction involves using patterns to make generalizations about a larger
set of data. In this example, we can use induction to make generalizations based on
the given information.
• From the table, we can see that the only person who ordered Halwa and paid ₹450
or less is Chintu. This means that Chintu must have ordered Halwa and paid ₹250 for
it.
• We can also see that Lalit, Giri, and Hari ordered dishes whose prices sum up to
₹2000. This means that Lalit, Giri, and Hari must have ordered dishes with prices
₹750, ₹650, and ₹600 respectively.
• From the table, we can see that Dev paid ₹400 for Jalebi. This means that Chintu
paid ₹250, and Dev paid ₹100 more than that, so Dev must have ordered Jalebi.
• We can also see that Ajay must have ordered Imarti, and Manav must have ordered
either Kachori or Samosa.
• From the table, we can see that Kiran ordered Kachori and paid ₹850 for it, and Giri
must have ordered Samosa and paid ₹450 for it.

Therefore, we can infer that:

• Chintu ordered Halwa and paid ₹250 for it.
• Dev ordered Jalebi and paid ₹400 for it.
• Ajay ordered Imarti.
• Manav ordered either Kachori or Samosa.
• Kiran ordered Kachori and paid ₹850 for it.
• Giri ordered Samosa and paid ₹450 for it.
• Lalit, Giri, and Hari ordered dishes with prices

deduction, induction, and other forms of reasoning to draw conclusions from the
information provided and how to represent it in a tabular or matrix form ?
To draw conclusions from the information provided, we can use deduction, induction, and
other forms of reasoning. Let's start by creating a table to organize the information:
Person Dish Price Sitting position
Ajay
Chintu
Dev
Giri
Hari
Kiran
Lalit
Manav

From the given information, we can fill in some of the details in the table:
1. Each person ordered one dish among Kachori, Jalebi, Imarti, Halwa, and Samosa.
2. Each dish was ordered by at least one person.
3. The prices of the dishes were ₹250, ₹450, ₹650, ₹750 and ₹850.
4. No two persons who ordered the same dish were sitting next to each other.
5. The prices of the dishes ordered by any two persons sitting adjacent to each other
differed by not more than ₹200.

Using deduction, we can make some additional conclusions:

1. Since the prices of the dishes ordered by any two persons sitting adjacent to each
other differed by not more than ₹200, the person who paid ₹250 must be sitting
next to someone who paid ₹450 or ₹650.
2. From statement (ii), Dev paid ₹100 more than what Chintu paid, so Chintu paid
either ₹450 or ₹650, and Dev paid either ₹550 or ₹750.
3. From statement (iii), the total amount paid by Lalit, Giri and Hari was ₹100 more
than the total amount paid by all the persons who ordered Halwa and Jalebi. This
means that the total amount paid by Lalit, Giri, and Hari was either ₹1100 or ₹1250.
4. From statement (iv), Kiran paid more than ₹650 and was the only person who
ordered Kachori, so Kiran paid either ₹750 or ₹850.
5. From statement (v), Samosa is priced ₹450 but it was not ordered by either Giri or
Manav. Therefore, Samosa must have been ordered by either Ajay, Chintu, Dev, Hari,
Kiran, or Lalit.

Using induction, we can make some more deductions:

1. Since each person ordered one dish and no two persons who ordered the same dish
were sitting next to each other, there must be exactly one person who ordered each
dish.
2. From statement (ii), Dev ordered Jalebi, so Chintu did not order Jalebi. Therefore,
Chintu ordered either Halwa or Samosa.
3. From statement (iv), Kiran ordered Kachori and paid more than ₹650, so Kiran paid
₹750 for Kachori.
Using the above deductions, we can fill in more details in the table:
Person Dish Price Sitting position
Ajay Samosa ₹450
Chintu Halwa/Samosa ₹450/₨650
Dev Jalebi ₹650
Giri
Hari Imarti ₹750
Kiran Kachori ₹750
Lalit
Manav

We can now use further deductions to fill in more details in the table:
1. From statement (iii), the total amount paid by Lalit, Giri, and Hari was ₹100 more
than the total amount paid by all the persons who ordered Halwa and
