Correct Option - 2

Detailed Solution:

The order of the house is given to us, it is orange, white, black and pink, now it is given that P1 stay in between P4 and P2. Hence P1 cannot stay at corner houses i.e in the orange and pink house, the same thing applied for P2 as well. Now from given condition about their salaries we can complete the following table

Name	Orange	White	Black	Pink	Salary
P1	×	√	×	×	20000
P2	×	×	√	×	100000
P3	×	×	×	√	40000

If a win carries an award of Rs. 150 and a loss carries of Rs. 100, what is the largest difference in prize money earned among the four?

Vishal Baghel

We get the following table of earnings:

Persons	Win Total	Average
P	36 * 150 + 14 * 100 = 6800	136
Q	34 * 150 + 21 * 100 = 7200	131
R	23 * 150 + 36 * 100 = 6850	116
S	30 * 150 + 30 * 100 = 6000	100

Now we can see that the largest difference

= Maximum – Minimum = Rs. 7500 – Rs. 6800

= Rs. 700
