Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Given Information: 

• Balaram is the third person to enter Room 101.
• Erina was allotted either Room 102 or Room 103.
• Three persons entered a room before Fatima, meaning Fatima and Akil entered Room 101.
• Ganeshan entered Room 102 with only one other person.
• This means only Erina entered Room 103.
• Chitra was the last person to enter a room, so she entered Room 102 with Ganeshan.
• Divya was the second person to enter Room 101.

Reasoning:

Since Room 101 already includes Akil (1st), Divya (2nd), Balaram (3rd), and Fatima (later), it is certain that Divya entered Room 101.

Answer: Definitely Room 101

Answer 2

Given Information: 

• Balaram is the third person to enter Room 101.
• Erina was allotted either Room 102 or Room 103.
• Three persons entered a room before Fatima, meaning Fatima and Akil entered Room 101.
• Ganeshan entered Room 102 with only one other person.
• This means only Erina entered Room 103.
• Chitra was the last person to enter a room, so she entered Room 102 with Ganeshan.
• Divya was the second person to enter Room 101.

Reasoning:

From the arrangement, Room 102 had only two people: Ganeshan and Chitra. Since Chitra was the last person to enter, Ganeshan must have been the first in Room 102. Therefore, no one entered Room 102 before Ganeshan.

Answer: No one

Answer 3

The correct answer is (B): 

• Balaram is the third person to enter Room 101.
• Erina was allotted either Room 102 or Room 103.
• Three persons entered the room before Fatima. Hence, Fatima and Akil entered Room 101.
• Ganeshan entered Room 102 with only one other person. This implies that only Erina entered Room 103.
• Chitra was the last person to enter a room, hence she entered Room 102 with Ganeshan.
• Divya was the second person to enter Room 101.

From this information, we know:

• Room 101: Akil (1st), Divya (2nd), Balaram (3rd), Fatima (4th)
• Room 102: Ganeshan, Chitra
• Room 103: Erina (only person)

Since Divya and Balaram entered before Fatima, and Ganeshan also entered before Chitra, we can say that Divya, Balaram, and Ganeshan entered before Chitra and Fatima in some order. Hence, Erina entered the room before all of them.

Answer: 7:45 am

Answer 4

The correct answer is (B):

• Balaram is the third person to enter Room 101.
• Erina was allotted either Room 102 or Room 103.
• Three persons entered the room before Fatima, which means Fatima and Akil entered Room 101.
• Ganeshan entered Room 102 with only one other person. Therefore, only Erina entered Room 103.
• Chitra was the last person to enter a room. Thus, Chitra entered Room 102 with Ganeshan.
• Divya was the second person to enter Room 101.

From the above information, the room entry order is reconstructed as follows:

• Room 101: Akil (1st), Divya (2nd), Balaram (3rd), Fatima (4th)
• Room 102: Ganeshan and Chitra
• Room 103: Erina

From the entry times:

• Ganeshan entered at 7:10 am
• Divya entered at 7:15 am
• Balaram entered at 7:25 am

Answer: 7:25 am
