All the first-year students in the computer science (CS) department in a university take both the courses (i) AI and (ii) ML. Students from other departments (non-CS students) can also take one of these two courses, but not both. Students who fail in a course get an F grade; others pass and are awarded A or B or C grades depending on their performance. The following are some additional facts about the number of students who took these two courses this year and the grades they obtained.
1
The numbers of non-CS students who took AI and ML were in the ratio 2:
5
2. The number of non-CS students who took either AI or ML was equal to the number of CS students.
3
The numbers of non-CS students who failed in the two courses were the same and their total is equal to the number of CS students who got a C grade in ML.
4
In both the courses, 50% of the students who passed got a B grade. But, while the numbers of students who got A and C grades were the same for AI, they were in the ratio 3: 2 for ML.
5
No CS student failed in AI, while no non-CS student got an A grade in AI.
6
The numbers of CS students who got A, B and C grades respectively in AI were in the ratio 3 : 5 : 2, while in ML the ratio was 4:5:2.

In the following, a year corresponds to 1st of January of that year.
A study to determine the mortality rate for a disease began in 1980. The study chose 1000 males and 1000 females and followed them for forty years or until they died, whichever came first. The 1000 males chosen in 1980 consisted of 250 each of ages 10 to less than 20, 20 to less than 30, 30 to less than 40, and 40 to less than 50. The 1000 females chosen in 1980 also consisted of 250 each of ages 10 to less than 20, 20 to less than 30, 30 to less than 40, and 40 to less than 50.
The four figures below depict the age profile of those among the 2000 individuals who were still alive in 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020. The blue bars in each figure represent the number of males in each age group at that point in time, while the pink bars represent the number of females in each age group at that point in time. The numbers next to the bars give the exact numbers being represented by the bars. For example, we know that 230 males among those tracked and who were alive in 1990 were aged between 20 and 30.

Pulak, Qasim, Ritesh, and Suresh participated in a tournament comprising of eight rounds. In each round, they formed two pairs, with each of them being in exactly one pair. The only restriction in the pairing was that the pairs would change in successive rounds. For example, if Pulak formed a pair with Qasim in the first round, then he would have to form a pair with Ritesh or Suresh in the second round. He would be free to pair with Qasim again in the third round. In each round, each pair decided whether to play the game in that round or not. If they decided not to play, then no money was exchanged between them. If they decided to play, they had to bet either Rs.1 or Rs.2 in that round. For example, if they chose to bet Rs.2, then the player winning the game got Rs.2 from the one losing the game.
At the beginning of the tournament, the players had Rs.10 each. The following table shows partial information about the amounts that the players had at the end of each of the eight rounds. It shows every time a player had Rs.10 at the end of a round, as well as every time, at the end of a round, a player had either the minimum or the maximum amount that he would have had across the eight rounds. For example, Suresh had Rs.10 at the end of Rounds 1, 3, and 8 and not after any of the other rounds. The maximum amount that he had at the end of any round was Rs.13 (at the end of Round 5), and the minimum amount he had at the end of any round was Rs.8 (at the end of Round 2). At the end of all other rounds, he must have had either Rs.9, Rs.11, or Rs.12.
It was also known that Pulak and Qasim had the same amount of money with them at the end of Round 4.

Pulak, Qasim, Ritesh, and Suresh participated in a tournament comprising of eight rounds. In each round, they formed two pairs, with each of them being in exactly one pair. The only restriction in the pairing was that the pairs would change in successive rounds. For example, if Pulak formed a pair with Qasim in the first round, then he would have to form a pair with Ritesh or Suresh in the second round. He would be free to pair with Qasim again in the third round. In each round, each pair decided whether to play the game in that round or not. If they decided not to play, then no money was exchanged between them. If they decided to play, they had to bet either Rs.1 or Rs.2 in that round. For example, if they chose to bet Rs.2, then the player winning the game got Rs.2 from the one losing the game.
At the beginning of the tournament, the players had Rs.10 each. The following table shows partial information about the amounts that the players had at the end of each of the eight rounds. It shows every time a player had Rs.10 at the end of a round, as well as every time, at the end of a round, a player had either the minimum or the maximum amount that he would have had across the eight rounds. For example, Suresh had Rs.10 at the end of Rounds 1, 3, and 8 and not after any of the other rounds. The maximum amount that he had at the end of any round was Rs.13 (at the end of Round 5), and the minimum amount he had at the end of any round was Rs.8 (at the end of Round 2). At the end of all other rounds, he must have had either Rs.9, Rs.11, or Rs.12.
It was also known that Pulak and Qasim had the same amount of money with them at the end of Round 4.
