What was the number of gold collected by Umang?
U – Umang
V – Viren
X – Xavier
F – Falak
G – Eagan
We have
U + V + X + F + G = 100
And each one of U, V, W, X, F, G? 10
U = V + X and 3Y = 4Z
Now, U, V, X, F, G? 10
Also, U = V + X
X = Cube + 3
V, U = Square
and F : G = 4 : 3
This is possible only when
U = 36, V = 25, X = 11, G = 12, F = 16

the highest average is Rs. 136
Using the data from above question, the lowest average is Rs. 100.
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
IITs = 60; IIMS = 40
