Nagu bought a new bike and went for a drive,riding at a uniform speed on a highway. At 9 am he passed a milestone. He turned his head back and read the number on the milestone.He continued driving and at 10 am, he passed another milestone. Again he turned his head back and saw that the number was the reverse of the number on the first milestone. He continued driving and at 11 am he passed a third milestone.Again, he turned his head back to note the number. The sum of the digits of the number on this milestone was equal to the sum of the digits of the number on the first milestone. Which of the following is the speed at which he travelled?(Assume that the numbers he saw were increasing)

A two digit number is divisible by 3 and 4 and the difference between its unit's digit and tens digit is equal to 4. Then the number is? 

The doubt here is whether we should consider this as absolute difference(two answers then) or just difference(only one answer)? what should be done in this case or similar cases when it isn't specified?

In the questions below, each question has two statements A and B following it. Mark your answer as


(1)  if the question can be answered from A alone but not from B alone.

(2)  If the question can be answered from B alone but not from A alone. 

(3)  if the question can be answered from A alone as well as from B alone. 

(4)  if the question can be answered from A and B together but not from any of them alone. 

(5)  if the question cannot be answered even from A and B together. 

A certain number of players participated in a tournament, played according to the following rules. The number of players at any stage is denoted as N. 

(i)  if N is even, the players are grouped into N/2 pairs.The players in every pair play against each other.The resulting winners move on to the next round. 

(ii)  If N is odd one player is allowed to move on to the next round. He is said to be given a bye. The remaining N - 1 players are grouped in to (N-1)/2 pairs who play against each other. The resulting winners move on to the next round. The players who lose are eliminated from the tournament. From the rules above, it follows that if there are N players in a round, then N/2 players move on to the next round if N is even and (N-1)/2 players move on to the next round if N is odd.This process continues until the final round,which is played between two players. The winner in this round is the champion.

1) Find the number of matches played by the champion. 

A.  In the first round, there were 169 players.

B.  The champion was given a bye only once.

2) The number of players in the first round was M where 129

A.  One player received a bye while moving fromthe third to the fourth round.

B.  Only one player received a bye in the entiretournament.
