Q3. How many of the six persons got off the bus before the bus stopped at Secretariat?

Q4. Which of the following pairs of persons got off the bus at consecutive bus stops?

Kalyan, Kiran
Kiran, Krishna
Karan, Krishna
Karan, Kiran

Given that Krishna got off immediately after Kumar. From (vi). Krishna got off immediately before the person who got off at Dadar. Since Kumar was not the f‌irst to get off. he can be 2^nd, 3^rd or 4^th .Further. From (iii) and (vi). Kiran can be the 2^nd, 3^rd or 4^th person to get off the bus.

lf Kumar is 2^nd, Krishna will be 3^rd and the person who got off at Dadar will be 4^th. The person who got down at Dadar cannot be Kiran (since he got down at Egmore). Hence. Kiran's position cannot be f‌ixed in this case and therefore, this case is not possible.

If Kumar is 3^rd, Krishna will be 4^th and the person who got off at Dadar will be 5^th in this case. Kiran must be the 2^nd person to get off the bus. From (v), the person who got off at Brigade Road would be 6^th and Kalyan can only be 5^th, Karan can only be 1^st but this will violate condition (iv). Hence. this case is also not possible.

If Kumar is 4^th, Krishan will be 5^th and the person who got off at Dadar will be 5^th, Kiran cannot be 2^nd in this case because the person who got off at Brigade Road and Kalyan would not get off the bus in consecutive stops. Hence. Kiran has to be 3^rd. The person who got off at Brigade Road must be 2^nd and Kalyan must be the f‌irst person to get off the bus. Since Karan got off the bus after the person who got off at Saket. Kalyan must be the person who got off at Saket (since Karan cannot be the last person to get off the bus). From (ii). Kumar would have got off at Esplanade and Krishna would have got off at Secretariat. Keenhan would be the last person to get off the bus.

The following table presents this information:

Order	1	2	3	4	5	6
