Directions for question:

In 1985, seven infamous gangsters – Mr Ameen, Mr Bilal, Mr Cheena, Mr Davar, Mr Elias, Mr Fayaz and Mr Gawli – all of them chiefs of their respective underworld gangs, were candidates in the election for the position of the Head of all the underworld gangs in the business of extortion and gambling in Mumbai. 

The election was conducted in three rounds. In the first round, each of the chiefs of all the underworld gangs in the business of extortion and gambling in Mumbai cast three votes for three different candidates. The two candidates with the least votes were eliminated. In the second round, each of the chiefs eligible to cast a vote cast two votes for two different candidates. The two candidates with the least votes were again eliminated. In the third round, each of the chiefs eligible to cast a vote cast one vote for any one candidate.

A candidate in the election for the position of the Head of all the underworld gangs in the business of extortion and gambling in Mumbai, who was taking part in a given round, was not eligible to vote in that round. But once eliminated he became eligible to vote in the next rounds. All the other chiefs who were not candidates in the election were eligible to vote in all the rounds. In each of the three rounds, there were no absentees, and all the chiefs who were eligible for a particular round cast their votes.

In the first round a total of 129 votes were cast in all, and the top three candidates were Mr Bilal with 25 votes, Mr Gawli with 20 votes and Mr Ameen with 18 votes. In the second round, Mr Cheena received 8 votes more than he did in the first round, Mr Bilal was 3 votes behind Mr Cheena in the second place, and Mr Elias was in the third place with 15 votes. In the third round, Mr Cheena received the same number of votes he did in the first round and ended up winning the election. Mr Bilal finished last in the third round.

In the first round the top three candidates were Mr Bilal, Mr Gawli and Mr Ameen. In the second round, Mr Cheena and Mr Elias were also present. So, all these five chiefs were not eliminated in the first round. The rest two (Mr Davar and Mr Fayaz) were the ones who were eliminated in the first round.

In the second round, Mr Cheena received 8 votes more than he did in the first round, Mr Bilal was 3 votes behind Mr Cheena in the second place, and Mr Elias was in the third place with 15 votes. Thus Mr Cheena was the one to get the maximum votes in the second round, as two candidates had to get eliminated out of the five in round two. So, these three must have proceeded to the third round.

Hence, Mr Ameen and Mr Gawli must have been eliminated in the second round of the election.
