A plot of land must be divided between four families. They want their individual plots to be similar in shape, not necessarily equal in area. The land has equally spaced poles, marked as dots in the below figure. Two ropes, R1 and R2, are already present and cannot be moved.

What is the least number of additional straight ropes needed to create the desired plots? A single rope can pass through three poles that are aligned in a straight line.

A jigsaw puzzle has 2 pieces. One of the pieces is shown above. Which one of the given option for the missing piece when assembled will form a rectangle? The piece can be moved. rotated or flipped to assemble with the above piece.

Six students P, Q, R, S, T and U, with distinct heights, compare their heights and make the following observations:

Observation I : S is taller than R.

Observation II : Q is the shortest of all.

Observation III : U is taller than only one student.

IV : T is taller than S but is not the tallest.

The number of students that are taller than R is the same as the number of students shorter than ________.

If P = 3, R = 27, T = 243, then Q + S = ______.
