CAT Previous Year Paper | CAT DILR Questions | Question 11

CAT 2022 DILR saw a change in patter. Unlike the previous years, all the four sets had 5 questions this year. There were 6 TITA Qs this year. Atleast two sets were doable in each slot and one of the four sets was extremely tough. Choice of Sets became a crucial factor. Overall this section was at a medium to high level of difficulty.

The management of a university hockey team was evaluating performance of four women players - Amla, Bimla, Harita and Sarita for their possible selection in the university team for next year. For this purpose, the management was looking at the number of goals scored by them in the past 8 matches, numbered 1 through 8. The four players together had scored a total of 12 goals in these matches. In the 8 matches, each of them had scored at least one goal. No two players had scored the same total number of goals.

Explanatory Answer

Total goals = 12. We know that 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10. This is the minimum if each player scores a different number of goals. So, we are looking at either
1 + 2 + 3 + 6
or 1 + 2 + 4 + 5.
Two players have scored 1 and 2 goals each for sure.
