Question 12:

Munna is the jigri of:
View Solution
Step 1: Identify Munna’s pattern
Munna got exactly 9 out of 10 answers correct. From the final answer key (last row — Sastry), we compare Munna’s row: \[ Sastry: \quad b \, d \, d \, c \, b \, d \, a \, c \, a \, b
Munna: \quad b \, d \, d \, c \, b \, d \, a \, c \, b \, b \]
Only mismatch is at Q9 ⇒ Munna changed this intentionally (as per passage).
Step 2: Find two students who can be jigri to Munna
A student’s answer key is copied from either one or two jigri(s). If two: identical ⇒ copied, else blank.
Let’s check whose answers closely match Munna except Q9.
Niran: b d d c b d a c b b (Only Q9 differs from Sastry)
Praveen: b d d c b d a c b b
These match Munna exactly ⇒ Both could be jigri.
Therefore, Munna is the jigri of Niran and Praveen. Quick Tip: When solving copying-based LR puzzles, first identify the student with only one error — that’s the original source. Then check identical copies (including errors) to trace jigris.
Who among the following is not the jigri of any of the ten students?

Who are the jigris of Chinky?
