Prem and Jamal were answering the question which begins the movie.

Which is to say, their conflicting responses to the cricket question represent how they would answer the opening question about Jamal. Prem says "B", which was "He was lucky" -- he thinks Jamal is an ignorant peasant blindly guessing his way through, who doesn't deserve to win. Jamal says "D", which was "It is written". Jamal is right.


Salim put twenty million rupees worth of bills into the bathtub where he died

Immediately after the dance scene, the gang erupts into the empty train station and slaughters Jamal and Latika 

Salim raped Latika the night that he and Jamal rescued her from Maman.

Its heavily implied but never confirmed that the reason why Salim wanted Jamal out of the room was because that he wanted Latika. After all, earlier he does seem to be attracted to her when she is in dancing for the advert for Maman.
