The table given below shows the amount, in grams, of carbohydrate, protein, fat and all other nutrients, per 100 grams of nutrients in seven foodgrains. The first column shows the foodgrain category and the second column its codename. The table has some missing values. The following additional facts are known. 1. Both the pseudo-cereals had higher amounts of carbohydrate as well as higher amounts of protein than any millet. 2. Both the cereals had higher amounts of carbohydrate than any pseudo-cereal. 3. All the missing values of carbohydrate amounts (in grams) for all the foodgrains are non-zero multiples of 5. 4. All the missing values of protein, fat and other nutrients amounts (in grams) for all the foodgrains are non-zero multiples of 4. 5. P1 contained double the amount of protein that M3 contains.

Read the passage or information below

The air-conditioner (AC) in a large room can be operated either in REGULAR mode or in POWER mode to reduce the temperature. If the AC operates in REGULAR mode, then it brings down the temperature inside the room (called inside temperature) at a constant rate to the set temperature in 1 hour. If it operates in POWER mode, then this is achieved in 30 minutes. If the AC is switched off, then the inside temperature rises at a constant rate so as to reach the temperature outside at the time of switching off in 1 hour. The temperature outside has been falling at a constant rate from 7 pm onward until 3 am on a particular night. The following graph shows the inside temperature between 11 pm (23:00) and 2 am (2:00) that night. The following facts are known about the AC operation that night. • The AC was turned on for the first time that night at 11 pm (23:00). • The AC setting was changed (including turning it on/off, and/or setting different temperatures) only at the beginning of the hour or at 30 minutes after the hour. • The AC was used in POWER mode for longer duration than in REGULAR mode during this 3-hour period.

Read the passage or information below

The figure below shows a network with three parallel roads represented by horizontal lines R-A, R-B, and R-C and another three parallel roads represented by vertical lines V1, V2, and V3. The figure also shows the distance (in km) between two adjacent intersections. Six ATMs are placed at six of the nine road intersections. Each ATM has a distinct integer cash requirement (in Rs. Lakhs), and the numbers at the end of each line in the figure indicate the total cash requirements of all ATMs placed on the corresponding road. For example, the total cash requirement of the ATM(s) placed on road R-A is Rs. 22 Lakhs. The following additional information is known. 1. The ATMs with the minimum and maximum cash requirements of Rs. 7 Lakhs and Rs. 15 Lakhs are placed on the same road. 2. The road distance between the ATM with the second highest cash requirement and the ATM located at the intersection of R-C and V3 is 12 km.
