Question
If 2 staff members entered the precinct at 12:00 hrs and 13:00 hrs each, then at 15:00 hrs (refer to data from previous questions):
Answer: Option C
:
C
option c. 2 priests left after 3 hrs.
From the previous question, we know that 1 devotee left at 15:00 hrs (after 1 hr) and another 1 at 15:00 hrs (after 2 hrs). Thus options (a) and (d) are incorrect.
If 2 staff members left (after 3 hrs) at 15:00 hrs, then 2 staff members who entered at 13:00 hrs must have left (after 3 hrs) at 16:00 hrs and hence at 16:00 hrs no priest left (after 3 or 4 hrs). This is not possible as there are 3 priests who entered at 12:00 hrs and at least one of them left at 16:00 hrs (after 4 hrs) as not more than 2 could leave at the same time. Hence (b) is not true.
Thus, the only option possible is (c ).
