Five friends meet every morning at Sree Sagar restaurant for an idli-vada breakfast. Each consumes a different number of idlis and vadas. The number of idlis consumed are 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8, while the number of vadas consumed are 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6. Below are some more facts about who eats what and how much?
i. The number of vadas eaten by Ignesh is three times the number of vadas consumed by the person who eats four idlis.
ii. Three persons, including the one who eats four vadas, eat without chutney.
iii. Sandeep does not take any chutney.
iv. The one who eats one idli a day does not eat any vadas or chutney. Further, he is not Mukesh.
v. Daljit eats idli with chutney and also eats vada.
vi. Mukesh, who does not take chutney, eats half as many vadas as the person who eats twice as many idlis as he does.
vii. Bimal eats two more idlis than Ignesh, but Ignesh eats two more vadas than Bimal.
Which one of the following statements is true?
Answer & solution
Daljit eats 5 idlis.
- B
Ignesh eats 8 idlis.
- C
Bimal eats 1 idli.
- D
Bimal eats 6 idlis.
From (i),
Number of vadas eaten by Ignesh is 6 and the person eating 4 idlis eats 2 vadas.
From (vii),
Number of vadas eaten by Bimal = 4
Number of idlis eaten by Bimal = 8
Number of idlis eaten by Ignesh = 6
Ignesh, Mukesh, Daljit and Bimal eat at least 1 vada and 1 idli.
∴ Sandeep doesn’t eat any vadas but eats 1 idli.
From (vi),
Number of vadas eaten by Mukesh = 2
Number of idlis eaten by Mukesh = 4
âââââââ
Daljit eats 5 idlis.
Hence, option (a).
