Math Problem Statement
Four persons P, Q, R and S are playing a game of blindly picking the cards from a box. This box contains five cards, each of a different colour among Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and White, and these five cards fetch 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 points respectively. The game is being played in four rounds. In each round, each person randomly takes out one card from the box and places it back into the box. Based on the colour of the card, they have been given points as mentioned above. Further it is known that, 1. Each card was picked by at least one person and each card was picked a different number of times
IL. None of P. Q and R picked the same card in any two rounds and the maximum points scored by any of P. Q and R in all the four rounds put together are 12
Among the four rounds, the maximum points were scored in round III and P picked the white card in round III
iv. In each of rounds I, III and IV no two players picked the same card
v. The points scored by P and that by Q in all the four rounds put together are equal
vi. The green card was picked more times than the white card. The sum of the points scored by Pin round I and that scored by S in round IV is 5
vii. One of the five cards contributed a score of 20 to the total points scored in all the four rounds put together
