Question:
Anjali, Bipasha, and Chitra visited an entertainment park that has four rides. Each ride lasts one hour and can accommodate one visitor at one point. All rides begin at 9 am and must be completed by 5 pm except for Ride-3, for which the last ride has to be completed by 1 pm. Ride gates open every 30 minutes, e.g. 10 am, 10:30 am, and so on. Whenever a ride gate opens, and there is no visitor inside, the first visitor waiting in the queue buys the ticket just before taking the ride. The ticket prices are Rs. 20, Rs. 50, Rs. 30 and Rs. 40 for Rides 1 to 4, respectively. Each of the three visitors took at least one ride and did not necessarily take all rides. None of them took the same ride more than once. The movement time from one ride to another is negligible, and a visitor leaves the ride immediately after the completion of the ride. No one takes a break inside the park unless mentioned explicitly.
The following information is also known.
1. Chitra never waited in the queue and completed her visit by 11 am after spending Rs. 50 to pay for the ticket(s).
2. Anjali took Ride-1 at 11 am after waiting for 30 mins for Chitra to complete it. It was the only ride where Anjali waited.
3. Bipasha began her first of three rides at 11:30 am. All three visitors incurred the same amount of ticket expense by 12:15 pm.
4. The last ride taken by Anjali and Bipasha was the same, where Bipasha waited 30 mins for Anjali to complete her ride. Before standing in the queue for that ride, Bipasha took a 1- hour coffee break after completing her previous ride
What was the total amount spent on tickets (in Rs.) by Anjali? [This Question was asked as TITA]

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Anjali’s Rides:
Anjali took Ride-1 at 11 am after waiting 30 minutes (i.e., from 10:30 am).
It was the only ride where Anjali waited, meaning she started other rides immediately when the gates opened.
Cost Details:
By 12:15 pm, Anjali and Bipasha each spent Rs. 50.
- Ride-1: Rs. 20
- Remaining to reach Rs. 50: Rs. 30
- Ride-3: Rs. 30
Last Ride Information:
The last ride taken by Anjali and Bipasha was the same (Ride-4).
Bipasha waited 30 minutes for Anjali to finish this ride.
Bipasha took a 1-hour coffee break before queuing for Ride-4.
Additional Ride Needed:
Total spent so far: Rs. 20 + Rs. 30 + Rs. 40 = Rs. 90
Remaining to reach Rs. 140: Rs. 50
So Anjali must have taken Ride-2 (Rs. 50).
Final Summary:
Anjali’s rides:
- Ride-1 (Rs. 20)
- Ride-3 (Rs. 30)
- Ride-4 (Rs. 40)
- Ride-2 (Rs. 50)
Total Cost = \( 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 = \mathbf{140} \) rupees.

Top CAT Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR) Questions
- The local office of the APP-CAB company evaluates the performance of five cab drivers, Arun, Barun, Chandan, Damodaran, and Eman for their monthly payment based on ratings in five different parameters (P1 to P5) as given below:
P1: timely arrival
P2: behaviour
P3: comfortable ride
P4: driver's familiarity with the route
P5: value for money
Based on feedback from the customers, the office assigns a rating from 1 to 5 in each of these parameters. Each rating is an integer from a low value of 1 to a high value of 5. The final rating of a driver is the average of his ratings in these five parameters. The monthly payment of the drivers has two parts – a fixed payment and final rating-based bonus. If a driver gets a rating of 1 in any of the parameters, he is not eligible to get bonus. To be eligible for bonus a driver also needs to get a rating of five in at least one of the parameters. The partial information related to the ratings of the drivers in different parameters and the monthly payment structure (in rupees) is given in the table below:The following additional facts are known.P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 Fixed Payment Bonus Arun 4 Rs. 1000 Rs. 250 × Final Rating Barun 3 Rs. 1200 Rs. 200 × Final Rating Chandan 2 Rs. 1400 Rs. 100 × Final Rating Damodaran 3 Rs. 1300 Rs. 150 × Final Rating Eman 2 Rs. 1100 Rs. 200 × Final Rating
Arun and Barun have got a rating of 5 in exactly one of the parameters. Chandan has got a rating of 5 in exactly two parameters.
None of drivers has got the same rating in three parameters. - Ten musicians (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J) are experts in at least one of the following three percussion instruments: tabla, mridangam, and ghatam.

Due to a certain emergency situation, a few of the examinations could not be conducted for some students. Hence, some students missed one examination and some others missed two examinations. Nobody missed more than two examinations.
The board adopted the following policy for awarding marks to students. If a student appeared in all five examinations, then the marks awarded in each of the examinations were on the basis of the scores obtained by them in those examinations.
If a student missed only one examination, then the marks awarded in that examination was the average of the best three among the four scores in the examinations they appeared for.
If a student missed two examinations, then the marks awarded in each of these examinations was the average of the best two among the three scores in the examinations they appeared for.
The marks obtained by six students in the examination are given in the table below. Each of them missed either one or two examinations.English Hindi Mathematics Science Social Science Alva 80 75 70 75 60 Bithi 90 80 55 85 85 Carl 75 80 90 100 90 Deep 70 90 100 90 80 Esha 80 85 95 60 55 Foni 83 72 78 88 83

the land into twelve plots along three rows (X,Y,Z) and four Columns (1,2,3,4) as shown in the figure below:
The plots in rows X, Y, Z contained mango, teak and pine trees respectively. Each plot had trees in non-zero multiples of 3 or 4 and none of the plots had the same number of trees. Each daughter got an even number of plots. In the figure, the number mentioned in top left corner of a plot is the number of trees in that plot, while the letter in the bottom right corner is the first letter of the name of the daughter who got that plot (For example, Abha got the plot in row Y and column 1 containing 21 trees). Some information in the figure got erased, but the following is known:
1. Abha got 20 trees more than Chitra but 6 trees less than Dipti.
2. The largest number of trees in a plot was 32, but it was not with Abha.
3. The number of teak trees in Column 3 was double of that in Column 2 but was half of that in Column 4.
4. Both Abha and Bina got a higher number of plots than Dipti.
5. Only Bina, Chitra and Dipti got corner plots.
6. Dipti got two adjoining plots in the same row.
7. Bina was the only one who got a plot in each row and each column.
8. Chitra and Dipti did not get plots which were adjacent to each other (either in row / column / diagonal).
9. The number of mango trees was double the number of teak trees. - The Ministry of Home Affairs is analysing crimes committed by foreigners in different states and union territories (UT) of India. All cases refer to the ones registered against foreigners in 2016. The number of cases – classified into three categories: IPC crimes, SLL crimes and other crimes – for nine states/UTs are shown in the figure below. These nine belong to the top ten states/UTs in terms of the total number of cases registered. The remaining state (among top ten) is West Bengal, where all the 520 cases registered were SLL crimes.
The table below shows the ranks of the ten states/UTs mentioned above among ALL states/UTs of India in terms of the number of cases registered in each of the three category of crimes. A state/UT is given rank r for a category of crimes if there are (r―1) states/UTs having a larger number of cases registered in that category of crimes. For example, if two states have the same number of cases in a category, and exactly three other states/UTs have larger numbers of cases registered in the same category, then both the states are given rank 4 in that category. Missing ranks in the table are denoted by *.IPC crimes SLL crimes Other crimes Delhi * * * Goa * 4 * Haryana 8 6 * Karnataka 3 2 * Kerala * 9 * Maharashtra 3 4 8 Puducherry 13 29 * Tamil Nadu 11 7 * Telangana 6 9 8 West Bengal 17 * 16
