Question Numbers (40 to 44): There are only three
female students – Amala, Koli and Rini – and only three
male students – Biman, Mathew and Shyamal – in a
course. The course has two evaluation components, a
project and a test. The aggregate score in the course is
a weighted average of the two components, with the
weights being positive and adding to 1.
The projects are done in groups of two, with each group consisting of a female and a male student. Both the group members obtain the same score in the project.
The following additional facts are known about the scores in the project and the test.
1. The minimum, maximum and the average of both project and test scores were identical – 40, 80 and 60, respectively.
2. The test scores of the students were all multiples of 10; four of them were distinct and the remaining two were equal to the average test scores.
3. Amala’s score in the project was double that of Koli in the same, but Koli scored 20 more than Amala in the test. Yet Amala had the highest aggregate score.
