Directions for question:
In the singing reality show Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa 2018 (Bengali) telecast in the ZEE Bangla Television Channel, five of the contestants made it to the final rounds. They were Ankita, Bablu, Chinmoy, Debarati and Enakshi. The final round would be judged by five eminent Bengali singers and music directors namely Mr Bappi Lahiri, Mr Arijit Singh, Ms Asha Bhosle, Mr Kedar Bhattacharya (Kumar Sanu) and Mr Srikanta Acharya.
Our story is based on the points awarded to the finalists by the judges in the final round.
The following table shows row-wise the number of points given to any three finalists out of the five by a particular judge, the points given being written within brackets beside the name of the finalist. The last right hand column with the heading of ‘ % ’ is the sum of the points earned by the three finalists as a percentage of the sum of the points earned by all the five finalists from the same judge mentioned at the extreme left of the row. All the points given by each judge to the five finalists were distinct, non-negative integers which were multiples of 2.
Judge | Finalists | % | ||
Mr. Bappi Lahiri | Ankita (18) | Bablu (10) | Chinmoy (12) |
80 |
Mr. Arijit Singh | Ankita (8) | Debarati (16) | Enakshi (12) | 90 |
Ms. Asha Bhosle | Chinmoy (22) | Debarati (12) | Enakshi (14) | 80 |
Mr. Kedar Bhattacharya | Ankita (14) | Debarati (16) | Enakshi (4) | 85 |
Mr. Srikanta Acharya | Ankita (6) | Bablu (16) | Chinmoy (10) | 80 |

The possibilities of points given can be depicted as below
Judge | Ankita | Bablu | Chinmoy | Debarati | Enakshi | Total points |
Mr. Bappi Lahiri | 18 | 10 | 12 | 2,4,6,8 | 8,6,4,2 | 50 |
Mr. Arijit Singh | 8 | 0,4 | 4,0 | 16 | 12 | 40 |
Ms. Asha Bhosle | 2,4,8,10 | 10,8,4,2 | 22 | 12 | 14 | 60 |
Mr. Kedar Bhattacharya | 14 | 0,6 | 6,0 | 16 | 4 | 40 |
Mr. Srikanta Acharya | 6 | 16 | 10 | 0,8 | 8,0 | 40 |
Ms Asha Bhosle gave 8 points to Ankita.
Also, Mr Arijit Singh and Mr Kedar Bhattacharya gave the same number of points to Chinmoy. But that can only be 0.
So Bablu can get 4 from Ms Asha Bhosle, 4 from Mr Arijit Singh and 6 from Mr Kedar Bhattacharya.
Hence, if Ms Asha Bhosle gave 8 points to Ankita, and Mr Arijit Singh and Mr Kedar Bhattacharya gave the same number of points to Chinmoy, the number of points Bablu earned in the final round of Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa 2018 (Bengali)
= 10+4+4+6+16
= 40
