Q. 07: Answer the following question on the basis of the information given below:
Mathematicians are assigned a number called Erdos number (named after the famous
mathematician, Paul Erdos). Only Paul Erdos himself has an Erdos number of zero. Any
mathematician who has written a research paper with Erdos has an Erdos number of 1. For
other mathematicians, the calculation of his/her Erdos number is illustrated below:
Suppose that a mathematicians X has co-authored papers with several other
mathematicians. From among them, mathematician Y has the smallest Erdos number. Let
the Erdos number of Y be y. Then X has an Erdos number y +1.Hence any mathematician
with no co-authorship chain connected to Erdos has an Erdos number of infinity.

In a seven day long mini-conference organised in memory of Paul Erdos, a close group of
eight mathematicians, call them A,B,C,D,E,F,G,and H, discussed some research problems. At
the beginning of the conference, A was the only participant who has an infinite Erdos
number. Nobody had an Erdos number less than that of F.
On the third day of the conference F co-authored a paper jointly with A and C. This reduced
the average Erdos number of the group of eight mathematicians to 3.The Erdos numbers of
B, D, E, G, and H remained unchanged with the writing of this paper. Further, no other coauthorship among any three members would have reduced the average Erdos number of the
group of eight to as low as 3.
At the end of the third day, five members of this group had identical Erdos numbers while
the other three had Erdos numbers distinct from each other.On the fifth day, Eco-authored a
paper with F which reduced the groups average Erdos number by 0.5.The Erdos numbers of
the remaining six were unchanged with the writing of this paper.No other paper was written
during the conference.
1) How many participants in the conference did not change their Erdos number during the
conference?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
e) 2
2) The person having the largest Erdos number at the end of the conference must have had
Erdos number (at that time)?
a) 5
b) 7
c) 9
d) 14
e) 15
3. How many participants had the same Erdos number at the beginning of the conference?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
e) cannot be determined
4. The Erdos number of C at the end of the conference was?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3

Q. 07: Answer the following questions on the basis of the information given below:
Two traders, Chetan and Michael, were involved in the buying and selling of MCS shares
over five trading days. At the beginning of the first day, the MCS share was priced at
Rs.100, while at the end of the fifth day it was priced at Rs.110. At the end of each day, the
MCS share price either went up by Rs.10, or else, it came down by Rs.10. Both Chetan and
Michael took buying and selling decisions at the end of each trading day. The beginning price
of MCS share on a given day was the same as the ending price of the previous day. Chetan
and Michael started with the same number of shares and amount of cash, and had enough
of both below are some additional facts about how Chetan and Michael traded over the five
trading days.Each day if the price went up, Chetan sold 10 shares of MCS at the closing
price. On the other hand, each day if the price went down, he bought 10 shares at the
closing price.
If on any day, the closing price was above Rs.110, then Michael sold 10 shares of MCS,
while if it was below Rs.90, he bought 10 shares, all at the closing price.
1) If Chetan sold 10 shares of MCS on three consecutive days, while Michael sold 10 shares
only once during the five days, what was the price of MCS at the end of day 3?
a) Rs.90
b) Rs.100
c) Rs.110
d) Rs.120
e) Rs.130
2) If Chetan ended up with Rs.1300 more cash than Michael at the end of day 5, what was
the price of the MCS share at the end of day 4?
a) Rs.90
b) Rs.100
c) Rs.110
d) Rs.120
e) Not uniquely determinable
3) If Michael ended up with 20 more shares than Chetan at the end of days 5, what was the
price of the shares at the and of day 3?
a) Rs.90
b) Rs.100
c) Rs.110
d) Rs.120
e) Rs.130
