For questions 1 to 3: Four of the
amounts spent by the five women are Rs.2234, Rs.1193, Rs.1340 ad Rs.2517. Two
cases arise:
amounts spent by the five women are Rs.2234, Rs.1193, Rs.1340 ad Rs.2517. Two
cases arise:
(i) The lowest amount spent is
Rs.1193(by Chellamma): Then, the fifth amount will be Rs(1193 + 1378) =
Rs.2571, which will then be the highest amount and is spent by Shahnaz. As
Archana arrived before Chellamma, so she must have spent Rs.2234. This implies
Helen spent Rs.2517 and Dhenuka spent Rs.1340, which is a contradiction. Hence,
this case is not possible.
Rs.1193(by Chellamma): Then, the fifth amount will be Rs(1193 + 1378) =
Rs.2571, which will then be the highest amount and is spent by Shahnaz. As
Archana arrived before Chellamma, so she must have spent Rs.2234. This implies
Helen spent Rs.2517 and Dhenuka spent Rs.1340, which is a contradiction. Hence,
this case is not possible.
(ii) The highest amount spent is
Rs.2517 (by Shahnaz): Then the fifth amount will be Rs.(2517 – 1378) = Rs.1139.
Since it is the lowest amount, it will be spent by Chellamma. Further analysis
leads to the following table:
Rs.2517 (by Shahnaz): Then the fifth amount will be Rs.(2517 – 1378) = Rs.1139.
Since it is the lowest amount, it will be spent by Chellamma. Further analysis
leads to the following table:
| Order of arrival | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Name | Archana | Chellamma | Dhenuka | Helen | Shahnaz |
| Amount spent | Rs.2234 | Rs.1139 | Rs.1193 | Rs.1340 | Rs.2517 |
For questions 4 to 6: From
statement (i), possible number of vadas consumed by Ignesh is 6, being the only
multiple of 3.Therefore, another person had 4 idlis and 2 vadas. From statement
(vii), Bimal had (6 – 2) = 4 vadas. Using these inferences and statements (ii),
(iii) and (vi), we get that Bimal, Sandeep and Mukesh do not have chutney,
while Ignesh and Daljit consume chutney. From (iii) and (iv), Sandeep has only
one idli and no vada. From (vii), Bimal has two more idlis than Ignesh. This
implies that Bimal can have either 6 or 8 idlis.

one idli and no vada. From (vii), Bimal has two more idlis than Ignesh. This
implies that Bimal can have either 6 or 8 idlis.
If Bimal had 6 idlis, then Ignesh
had 4 idlis. This contradicts statement (i). Therefore, Bimal had 8 idlis and
Ignesh had 6 idlis. Mukesh has half the number of idlis as one other person and
the only number satisfying this is 4. Therefore, he must have 2 vadas. These
inferences can be summarised in the table below:

Ignesh had 6 idlis. Mukesh has half the number of idlis as one other person and
the only number satisfying this is 4. Therefore, he must have 2 vadas. These
inferences can be summarised in the table below:
| | Idli | Vada | Chutney |
| Ignesh | 6 | 6 | Yes |
| Bimal | 8 | 4 | No |
| Sandeep | 1 | 0 | No |
| Mukesh | 4 | 2 | No |
| Daljit | 5 | 1 | Yes |
