When I read that averages are going to be distinct but the sum will be same, I used the magic square formula. I drew a sample square on the side. It helped me decipher that if a box has an average of 9, the average of other 2 boxes in that row/column can only be either 1 and 5 or 2 and 4. It helped me narrow down the pairs. That helped me solve the numbers much faster. Although, that didn't occur to me in the actual CAT exam, only ocurred to me now when I actually read the question, rather than just breezing through it. A very good question.
Valid argument. But as per the question the total score on day 5=18, which atleast requires each score to be 6. And if that's the case than C's unique maximum score can't be 6 it has to be more than that
Given - Mean of the box are distinct integer So to get mean as integer number of 3 values it should be multiple of 3 if it's not then we'll get decimal number
Why in the 3rd set the increase in two consecutive years same as for A same as it it clearly written the no two consecutive years have same increase or decrease !!!
It says no firm raised the same amount of money in consecutive years that means like we can't have 2 2 or 3 3 or 4 4. It doesn't mean that increase shouldn't be the same.
I had same doubt the problem here is usually cat paper specify this thing but here they have not also when you say between 1 and 9 it means from 2-8 but when you say between 1 to 9 it means 1 and 9 are included. However I think cat paper should have specified this thing also if you read further in an example they mentioned 1 rank and gave 8 points to it which added further confusion whether it 1 and 9 are included or not.
Hello sir in the first row and forst coloim you jave put 117 as the asnwer , it can be 216 also ryt ? Please help me out As if we put 216 , both the conditions are satisfied !
Because if we put 126 , then Only one condition satisfies, which is Minimum 1coin in sack, and as per the table 2 , there are two asterisk given hence it must satisfy the condition ii) or iii) or all three which can't be done with 126

23:40 sir, on day5, A can have: 5/4/3 and B: 7/8/9 (thay all add up to 12)
its bcoz its given unique highest score , and it cannot be repeated. 9 is only once used on day 2 by chatur..
@@anant.k thanks bro, mb
18:05 score should be 2,3,4,5,6,7,8. 1 and 9 are not inclusive. Then how chaturs max score is 9 ?

WIsh I had a teacher like him
Sir why each box sum has to be multiple of 3?
Given - Mean of the box are distinct integer
So to get mean as integer number of 3 values it should be multiple of 3 if it's not then we'll get decimal number
Only then mean can be a distinct integer
But each ride was of 1 hr why are we taking it for 30 min
Why in the 3rd set the increase in two consecutive years same as for A same as it it clearly written the no two consecutive years have same increase or decrease !!!
Yes same doubt
It says no firm raised the same amount of money in consecutive years that means like we can't have 2 2 or 3 3 or 4 4.
It doesn't mean that increase shouldn't be the same.
How can score be 9 if it is mentioned that balls are between 1 and 9?
why not? consider 1,3,5 to be the balls. They add upto 9.
both inclusive
bro both the balls are inclusive

Didn't even read the coin set in exam... And literally one of the easiest set of cat23... FML
Happens to the best of us, Kundan! :)
