Eight friends: Ajit, Byomkesh, Gargi, Jayanta, Kikira, Manik, Prodosh and Tapesh are going to
Delhi from Kolkata by a flight operated by Cheap Air. In the flight, sitting is arranged in 30
rows, numbered 1 to 30, each consisting of 6 seats, marked by letters A to F from left to right,
respectively. Seats A to C are to the left of the aisle (the passage running from the front of the
aircraft to the back), and seats D to F are to the right of the aisle. Seats A and F are by the
windows and referred to as Window seats, C and D are by the aisle and are referred to as
Aisle seats while B and E are referred to as Middle seats. Seats marked by consecutive letters
are called consecutive seats (or seats next to each other). A seat number is a combination of
the row number, followed by the letter indicating the position in the row; e.g., 1A is the left
window seat in the first row, while 12E is the right middle seat in the 12th row.

Cheap Air charges Rs. 1000 extra for any seats in Rows 1, 12 and 13 as those have extra
legroom. For Rows 2-10, it charges Rs. 300 extra for Window seats and Rs. 500 extra for Aisle
seats. For Rows 11 and 14 to 20, it charges Rs. 200 extra for Window seats and Rs. 400 extra
for Aisle seats. All other seats are available at no extra charge.

of them did not pay any additional amount for his/her choice of seat.

rows in increasing order of row numbers; but all of them paid different amounts for their
choices of seat. One of these amounts may be zero.

Q6 – Games & Tournament

Directions for Ques 1 to 8 : 128 players take part in a Grand Slam tennis tournament. The tournament is
scheduled to be held in seven rounds and in each round, in a match between two players, the winner
advances to the next round and the loser is eliminated. The players who take part in the tournament are
seeded from 1 to 128, with seed 1 being the top seed, seed 2 next and so on. The matches are scheduled in

seeded player and so on. An upset is said to happen when a lower-seeded player beats a higher-seeded
