Q13 LOGICAL PUZZLES

A, B, C and D collected one-rupee coins following the given pattern.

Together they collected 100 coins.

Each one of them collected even number of coins.

Each one of them collected at least 10 coins.

No two of them collected the same number of coins.

If A collected 54 coins, then the difference in the number of coins between the one who collected maximum number of coins and the one who collected the second highest number of coins must be at least

a. 12

b. 24.

c. 30

d. None of these

if A collected 54 coins, remaining will be 46.

Now B,C,D must have atleast 10,12,14 coins

So remaining coins will be 10

So difference between maximum and second maximum should be least when second

highest will be as maximum as possible.

i.e. difference = 54-(14+10) = 30
