In a bicycle race, the man who came two places in front of the last man finished one ahead of the man who came fifth. How many contestants were there?
...the man who came two places in front of the last man: Let the last three people in the race be x, y and z. This means our man is x and the last man is z and there is y in between them.
... finished one ahead of the man who came fifth: so x is one position ahead of the 5th guy, that means x is in the 4th position.
So if x is 4th position, y will be 5th position and z will be 6th position. So there are 6 people in the race

Tata Power whose core business is to generate, transmit and distribute electricity has made no money to investors in the last one decade. That is a big blunder considering it is one of the largest power generation companies in the country. One of the reasons is the company's huge debt levels which stood at ₹43,559 crore at the end of March 2021 compared to the company’s market capitalisation of ₹44,447 crore.
What is Telegram?
Telegram’s stand out feature is its encryption scheme that keeps messages and media secure in transit. The scheme is known as MTProto and is based on 256-bit AES encryption, RSA encryption, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The result of this complicated and technical-sounding jargon? A messaging service that claims to keep your data safe.Why do we say claims? When dealing with security, you always want to leave room for scrutiny, and a few cryptography experts have criticized the system. Overall, any level of encryption is better than none, but a level of discretion should always be observed with any online connected system, even Telegram.
