  A train travels from Station A to Station E, passing through stations B, C, and D, in that order. The train has a seating capacity of 200. A ticket may be booked from any station to any other station ahead on the route, but not to any earlier station. A ticket from one station to another reserves one seat on every intermediate segment of the route. For example, a ticket from B to E reserves a seat in the intermediate segments B– C, C– D, and D–E. The occupancy factor for a segment is the total number of seats reserved in the segment as a percentage of the seating capacity. The total number of seats reserved for any segment cannot exceed 200. The following information is known. 1. Segment C– D had an occupancy factor of 952. Exactly 40 tickets were booked from B to C and 30 tickets were booked from B to E. 3. Among the seats reserved on segment D– E, exactly four-sevenths were from stations before C. 4. The number of tickets booked from A to C was equal to that booked from A to E, and it was higher than that from B to E. 5. No tickets were booked from A to B, from B to D and from D to E. 6. The number of tickets booked for any segment was a multiple of 10.

  A round table has seven chairs around it. The chairs are numbered 1 through 7 in a clockwise direction. Four friends, Aslam (A), Bashir (B), Chhavi (C), and Davies (D), sit on four of the chairs. In the starting position, Aslam and Chhavi are sitting next to each other, while for Bashir as well as Davies, there are empty chairs on either side of the chairs they are sitting on.
  The friends take turns moving either clockwise or counterclockwise from their chair. The friend who has to move in a turn occupies the first empty chair in whichever direction they choose to move. Aslam moves first (Turn 1), followed by Bashir, Chhavi, and Davies (Turns 2, 3, and 4, respectively). Then Aslam moves again followed by Bashir, and Chhavi (Turns 5, 6, and 7, respectively).
  The following information is known: 1. The four friends occupy adjacent chairs only at the end of Turn 2 and Turn 6. 2. Davies occupies Chair 2 after Turn 1 and Chair 4 after Turn 5, and Chhavi occupies Chair 7 after Turn 2.

  Aurevia, Brelosia, Cyrenia and Zerathania are four countries with their currencies being Aurels, Brins, Crowns, and Zentars, respectively. The currencies have different exchange values. Crown’s currency exchange rate with Zentars = 0.5, i.e., 1 Crown is worth 0.5 Zentars.
  Three travelers, Jano, Kira, and Lian set out from Zerathania visiting exactly two of the countries. Each country is visited by exactly two travelers. Each traveler has a unique Flight Cost, which represents the total cost of airfare in traveling to both the countries and back to Zerathania. The Flight Cost of Jano was 4000 Zentars, while that of the other two travelers were 5000 and 6000 Zentars, not necessarily in that order. When visiting a country, a traveler spent either 1000, 2000 or 3000 in the country’s local currency. Each traveler had different spends (in the country’s local currency) in the two countries he/she visited. Across all the visits, there were exactly two spends of 1000 and exactly one spend of 3000 (in the country’s local currency).
  The total “Travel Cost” for a traveler is the sum of his/her Flight Cost and the money spent in the countries visited.
  The citizens of the four countries with knowledge of these travels made a few observations, with spends measured in their respective local currencies:
  • Aurevia citizen: Jano and Kira visited our country, and their Travel Costs were 3500 and 8000, respectively.
  • Brelosia citizen: Kira and Lian visited our country, spending 2000 and 3000, respectively. Kira’s Travel Cost was 4000.
  • Cyrenia citizen: Lian visited our country and her Travel Cost was 36000.
