Question 5

Direction: 8 questions are arranged in 4 orders to create 4 sets of a question paper. This jumbling of questions is done in such a way that no question happens to be at the same question number in any pair of two sets. The sets thus formed are named as A, B, C and D. Further, it is also known that:

(i) Third question of B, sixth question of D, seventh question of A and fifth question of C are all same.

(ii) Any question out of the first three questions of B, C and D is not the first or second question in A

(iii) First question of C, sixth question of B and eighth question of D are all same.

(iv) Fifth question of A, sixth question of C and third question of D are all same.

(v) First question of B, fifth question of D and third question of A are all same.

(vi) First question of A is eighth question of B and fifth question of B is fourth question of D

(vii) Second question of B is sixth question of A

At most for how many questions, out of the eight, their question numbers can be uniquely identified in all the four sets?
