Passage:
Alia, Badal, Clive, Dilshan, and Ehsaan played a game in which each asks a unique question to all the others and they respond by tapping their feet, either once or twice or thrice. One tap means "Yes", two taps mean "No", and three taps mean "Maybe".
A total of 40 taps were heard across the five questions. Each question received at least one "Yes", one "No", and one "Maybe."
The following information is known.
- Alia tapped a total of 6 times and received 9 taps to her question. She responded "Yes" to the questions asked by both Clive and Dilshan.
- Dilshan and Ehsaan tapped a total of 11 and 9 times respectively. Dilshan responded "No" to Badal.
- Badal, Dilshan, and Ehsaan received equal number of taps to their respective questions.
