During its festival week, from 10 October to 16 October, a shop calls a customer a ‘Festival Saver’ when, and only when, the customer (i) buys goods worth at least ₹2,000 in a single bill, (ii) on a date within the festival week, and (iii) pays in cash or by UPI, not by credit card. Which of the following customers is a Festival Saver?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Ravi buys goods worth ₹2,350 in one bill on 14 October and pays by UPI.
A customer is a Festival Saver only when all three conditions hold: (i) one bill of at least ₹2,000, (ii) a date from 10 to 16 October, (iii) payment in cash or by UPI.
Ravi’s single bill is ₹2,350 (at least ₹2,000), 14 October lies between 10 and 16 October, and he pays by UPI. All three conditions hold.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) Gita buys goods worth ₹1,200 and ₹1,100 in two separate bills on 12 October and pays both in cash. — Incorrect. Neither bill reaches ₹2,000 (₹1,200 and ₹1,100 are each less), so condition (i), a single bill of at least ₹2,000, fails.
Option (2) Farhan buys goods worth ₹3,000 in one bill on 18 October and pays in cash. — Incorrect. 18 October is after 16 October, outside the festival week, so condition (ii) fails.
Option (3) Lalit buys goods worth ₹2,500 in one bill on 11 October and pays by credit card. — Incorrect. Lalit pays by credit card, so condition (iii) fails.
