@MANOJ KUMAR JHA @KHUSHBOO @RAJAT here problem is that each person gives vote to a different person except himself. Oldest one is alresdy included among the 4 oldest. So now what are u thinking nw oldest of them
x6 - 3 votes
x6 gives give vote to other 2nd oldest that is x5 so x5 has 1 vote so nw if first two will two vote to x5 then the match is a draw..

ANSWER==> C
"each person vote to a different person"
now form the statement 1. oldest person get 3 votes because he can't vote himself according to the question. so we can't say the name of the winner from here.
now consider statement 2. oldest person get 2 votes from the youngest 2. again this statement can't declare the name of the winner.

but if we consider both of the statement then the oldest one gets 5 vote(3 votes from the oldest + 2 votes from the youngest). now it is very clear that oldest one wins.

what is the answer mind clearly .. and post your answers.. match is draw or x6 will win the match. Because if x6 get 3 votes he cannot get 4 vote because oldest 4 votes to the oldest but oldest is already in them so he can get 3 votes only x6 vote to second oldest which is x5 can anyone who have given the test exactly remenber the question?????

Let x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6 are 6 persons arranged in assending order i.e. x1 is youngest and x6 is oldest
CASE1-oldest four give vote to the oldest of them
i.e x6 gets 4 vote.
Remaing votes are 2
so x6 is winner.
statement 1 is sufficient to answer the question.
CASE2- youngest 2 give their votes to eldest person
so x1 and x2 gives vote to x6
Remaining votes are 4
Among these 4 votes anyone can get any no of votes
hence this option is not sufficient to answer who is winner

Hence ans:-A

3.both combine can solve

i.e in 1st case the oldest one can get max 3 votes coz he cannt vote to himself
and there is least probability of getting draw i.e remaining 3votes we cannt predict in 1st case

statement 1&2 combined can be used to solve the problem .
since the 4 older ones would vote for the oldest hence the oldest would get 3 votes, plus the youngest ones would also vote for the eldest hence the oldest would get 5 vote in total , which the maximum one can get.

A ,becoz 4 votes will make him the winner

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (4)  

rajat  (9 years ago)

the right answer is A as the first one says the 4 oldest person give vote to the oldest of them thus the oldest person gets 4 votes which is sufficient to make him the winner,
where as statement 2 says the youngest 2 gives vote to the eldest of them which leaves 4 vote unused or they can go in anyones favor making option A the correct answer
if one can give the other cannot

x6 gets 3 votes because he can't vote him self so the maximum possible of votes to other persons is 2 (self vote is not possible according to question) so ans a is sufficent we consider option b eldest got 2 votes so remaining persons has a chance to get 3 votes option b is sufficent so ans is a
