(CAT 2003(R))

Shown below is the layout of major streets in a city.



Two days (Thursday and Friday) are left for campaigning before a major election, and the city
administration has received requests from five political parties for taking out their processions along the following routes.
Congress: A-C-D-E              BJP: A-B-D-E               SP: A-B-C-E

Mastermind

(CAT 2003(R)) Recently, the answers of a test held nationwide were leaked to a group of unscrupulous people. The investigative agency has arrested the mastermind and nine other people A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I in this matter. Interrogating them, the following facts have been obtained regarding their operation. Initially the mastermind obtains the correct answer-key. All the others create their answer-key in the following manner. They obtain the answer-key from one or two people who already possess the same. These people are called his/her ‘sources’. If the person has two sources, then he/she compares the answer-keys obtained from both sources. If the key to a question from both sources is identical, it is copied, otherwise it is left blank. If the person has only one source, he/she copies the source’s answers into his/her copy. Finally, each person compulsorily replaces one of the answers (not a blank one) with a wrong answer in his/her answer key. The paper contained 200 quest
