c. 4
d. 5
2. In the above question 1, what is the final value of X?
a. 6
b. 20
c. 72
d. 360
3. In the above question 1, what is the final value of Y?
a. 4
b. 5
c. 6
d. 20
4. If the value of N is changed to 500, what would be the final value of X?
a. 360
b. 500
c. 560
d. 2160
5. If X = 2 and Y = 3, what should be the minimum value of N such that final value of Y is 7?
a. 300
b. 360
c. 720
d. 860

Solution:
1. Step 1: X = 6, Y = 3
Step 2: X = 18, Y = 4
Step 3: X = 72, Y = 5
Step 4: X = 360, Y = 6
Machine will stop.
Option c.
2. Option d.
3. Option c.
4. Step 1: X = 6, Y = 3
Step 2: X = 18, Y = 4
Step 3: X = 72, Y = 5
Step 4: X = 360, Y = 6
Step 5: X = 2160, Y = 7
Option d.
5. Step 1: X = 6, Y = 4
Step 2: X = 24, Y = 5
Step 3: X = 120, Y = 6
Step 4: X = 720, Y = 7
The minimum value should be 121. But, as the closest option is 300, we can mark it as our answer. Option a.
6. The order will be R-V-P-A-S-T and D would float from the 2nd to the 6th position so, option d is the only possible scenario.
7. Worst case, both D and S would come above R and so, Raman could be fourth at maximum. Option c.
8. The situation is not possible as V and P will always score above A. Option d.
9. R-S-V-P-A-T would be fixed and D would float from the 2nd position to the 6th position. So, only option a could be true.
10. The only possible situation is when S is first and A last. So, option a is correct.
