At a management school, the oldest 10 dorms, numbered 1 to 10, need to be repaired urgently. The following diagram represents the estimated repair costs (in Rs. Crores) for the 10 dorms. For any dorm, the estimated repair cost (in Rs. Crores) in an integer. Repairs with estimated cost Rs. 1 or 2 Crores are considered light repairs, repairs with estimated cost Rs. 3 or 4 are considered moderate repairs and repairs with estimated cost Rs. 5 of 6 Crores are considered extensive repairs. Bar chart (Estimated repair cost in Rs. Crores : number of dorms): 1 : 2 (light), 2 : 1 (light), 3 : 3 (moderate), 4 : 1 (moderate), 5 : 1 (extensive), 6 : 3 (extensive). Further, the following are known: 1. Odd – numbered dorms do not need light repair; even-numbered dorms do not need moderate repair and dorms, whose numbers are divisible by 3, do not need extensive repair. 2. Dorms 4 to 9 all need different repair costs, with Dorm 7 needing the maximum and Dorm 8 needing the minimum.
