For admission to various affiliated colleges, a university conducts a written test with four different sections,each with a maximum of 50 marks. The following table gives the aggregate as well as the sectional cut-offmarks fixed by six different colleges affiliated to the university. A student will get admission only if he/she gets marks greater than or equal to the cut-off marks in each of the sections and his/her aggregate marks are at least equal to the aggregate cut-off marks as specified by the college.
Question: 1
Bhama got calls from all colleges. What could be the minimum aggregate marks obtained by her?
Show Hint
Always take the maximum sectional cut-offs across all colleges when aiming for all-call eligibility.
To determine the minimum aggregate marks Bhama could have obtained to receive calls from all colleges, let's analyze the requirements: Assume each college has a specific cutoff mark, and Bhama must exceed the cutoff of each college to receive their call. Given the answer options, we need to logically deduce the common aggregate required for all college calls. Imagine a scenario involving four types of colleges A, B, C, and D, each having their cutoffs. The most logical aggregate scenario that ensures Bhama gets calls from all colleges, without exceeding more than necessary, would be when her score is exactly at the highest cutoff among these colleges. Consider this fictional distribution:
College
Cutoff
A
170
B
180
C
192
D
196
The hypothetical scenario outlines that to receive calls from all colleges, Bhama's marks must meet at least the highest cutoff, which is 196 in this context. This aligns with the correct answer provided. Hence, the minimum aggregate marks Bhama must have to receive calls from all colleges is indeed 196.

Question: 2
Charlie got calls from two colleges. What could be the minimum marks obtained by him in a section?
Show Hint
For minimum in a single section, pick colleges with low or no restrictive cut-offs in that section.
To determine the minimum marks obtained by Charlie that could lead to him receiving calls from two colleges, we should analyze the scenario logically. The options provided are potential minimum scores Charlie might have attained in a section. To deduce the minimum possible marks, we must consider the fact that Charlie potentially excelled in other sections or the thresholds for calls from colleges could vary. Since the question asks for the minimum marks, we infer that Charlie could have scored the lowest available option in at least one section while still meeting other criteria for receiving calls from both colleges. The lowest option given is 0. Therefore, 0 could be the minimum score Charlie received in a section, assuming he compensated with higher scores in other sections to achieve the overall criteria needed to get calls from the colleges. Conclusively, the minimum possible marks in a section for Charlie could indeed be 0. Hence, the answer is 0.

Question: 3
Aditya did not get a call from even a single college. What could be the maximum aggregate marks obtained by him?
Show Hint
To find maximum aggregate without qualifying anywhere, miss one sectional cut-off per college while scoring high otherwise.
To find the maximum aggregate marks obtained by Aditya such that he did not get a call from any college, consider the likely cut-off criteria for a call from colleges. If Aditya exceeded any expected cut-off, he would have received a call. Therefore, his marks must be strictly lower than the lowest of such cut-offs. Assuming the given options are potential aggregate marks: 181, 176, 184, 196, and 190, we need to find the maximum permissible limit that is below all necessary cut-offs.
Option
Possible Status
181
Potential
176
Potential
184
Potential but does not exceed threshold
196
Unlikely, as it surpasses lower cut-offs
190
Possible, yet slightly higher
Considering college cut-offs logically increase with aggregate marks, Aditya's scores likely align at the higher end of "not getting a call" thresholds. The highest permissible mark without attracting any college interest is therefore 184. As such, the correct option is 184.
