IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 6

A drug peddler operated from four different locations to avoid the local police traps. He had named these places as Tea Stall, Coffee Stall, Milk Stall and Juice Stall. This drug peddler dealt in six different types of drugs: Cocaine, Heroin, Opium, Marijuana, Morphine and Darvon. To camouflage his operations he sold these drugs in pre-packed envelopes. Further to facilitate his operations he had got all of these drugs packed according to the order size. The different envelopes he used to denote different sizes were known as Chota, Medium, Bada, Vazir, and Badshah. Each of the drugs was available in all the sizes of envelopes.

However an intelligent officer, Karamchand from Narcotics department received certain pieces of information from one of his sources, Lily. Before raiding on to the premises Karamchand decided to completely analyze the piece of information he had with him.

The first chart gave the details of the number of envelopes mentioned as a percentage of the total number of envelopes.

His second source, Liliput gave him additional information that the number of Vazir envelopes, as a percentage of total number of envelopes in each of the location, is not more than 1% in Coffee and Milk stall.
His third source, Parma opined that all the envelopes containing one or the other of the three drugs - Cocaine, Heroin and Darvon - were only in one or the other of the three envelopes - Chota, Medium or Bada.

Q.

If the information from the 1st and 2nd source is considered, then what   could be the minimum percentage of Vazir envelopes as compared to the total number of envelopes, which Karamchand could expect in Tea stall?

Detailed Solution for IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 6

In Coffee Stall the total number of envelopes is 98 + 65 + 123 + 138 + 104 + 81 = 609. Since the number of Vazir envelopes as a percentage of total number of envelopes in each of the location is not more than 1% in Coffee and Milk stall, we have the maximum possible number of Vazir envelopes in Coffee Stall as 1% of 609. This implies that the maximum number of Vazir envelopes that could be found in Coffee stall would be 6.
Similarly, in Milk stall, since the total number of envelopes is 603, implying that the maximum number of Vazir envelopes here would be 6.

The total number of envelopes that we have at all the locations put together is 2400 (500, 609, 603 and 688) and total number of Vazir envelopes is 30% of 2400 = 720.
Now since we are supposed to minimize the number of Vazir envelopes in Tea Stall, all of the 688 envelopes in Juice stall should then belong to Vazir.
Total of Vazir envelopes at these three locations = 6 + 6 + 688 = 700. Hence the rest of 720 - 700 = 20 Vazir envelopes should be in Tea Stall.
Percentage of number of envelopes in Tea stall = 20/500 = 4%.
Hence, option 1.

IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 7

A drug peddler operated from four different locations to avoid the local police traps. He had named these places as Tea Stall, Coffee Stall, Milk Stall and Juice Stall. This drug peddler dealt in six different types of drugs: Cocaine, Heroin, Opium, Marijuana, Morphine and Darvon. To camouflage his operations he sold these drugs in pre-packed envelopes. Further to facilitate his operations he had got all of these drugs packed according to the order size. The different envelopes he used to denote different sizes were known as Chota, Medium, Bada, Vazir, and Badshah. Each of the drugs was available in all the sizes of envelopes.

However an intelligent officer, Karamchand from Narcotics department received certain pieces of information from one of his sources, Lily. Before raiding on to the premises Karamchand decided to completely analyze the piece of information he had with him.

The first chart gave the details of the number of envelopes mentioned as a percentage of the total number of envelopes.

His second source, Liliput gave him additional information that the number of Vazir envelopes, as a percentage of total number of envelopes in each of the location, is not more than 1% in Coffee and Milk stall.
His third source, Parma opined that all the envelopes containing one or the other of the three drugs - Cocaine, Heroin and Darvon - were only in one or the other of the three envelopes - Chota, Medium or Bada.

Q.

if the ratio of Vazir envelopes in Tea Stall and Juice Stall was 2 : 7, then  what could have been the difference in the number of envelopes other than Vazir envelopes in both these locations, assuming that information from the 1st and 2nd source is correct?

Detailed Solution for IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 7

Let the number of Vazir envelopes in Tea Stall and Juice Stall be 2x and lx respectively.
Then, the envelopes which are not Vazir in Tea stall = 500 - 2x and in Juice stall = 688 - lx.
Let the total number of Vazir envelopes in Coffee and Milk stall bey.
Now, from the solution to the previous question, we have the total number of Vazir envelopes as 720. 2jc + lx +y = 720 andy < 12. 9x + y = 720.
For x to be an integer y has to be a multiple of 9 less than 12, hence y = 9

∴x = 79
Hence the required difference would be: 500 - 2x - (688 - 7x) = 5x - 188 = 5 x 79-188 = 207.
Hence, option 3.

IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 8

A drug peddler operated from four different locations to avoid the local police traps. He had named these places as Tea Stall, Coffee Stall, Milk Stall and Juice Stall. This drug peddler dealt in six different types of drugs: Cocaine, Heroin, Opium, Marijuana, Morphine and Darvon. To camouflage his operations he sold these drugs in pre-packed envelopes. Further to facilitate his operations he had got all of these drugs packed according to the order size. The different envelopes he used to denote different sizes were known as Chota, Medium, Bada, Vazir, and Badshah. Each of the drugs was available in all the sizes of envelopes.

His second source, Liliput gave him additional information that the number of Vazir envelopes, as a percentage of total number of envelopes in each of the location, is not more than 1% in Coffee and Milk stall.
His third source, Parma opined that all the envelopes containing one or the other of the three drugs - Cocaine, Heroin and Darvon - were only in one or the other of the three envelopes - Chota, Medium or Bada.

Q.

What could be the ratio of Chota, Medium and Bada envelopes containing the drugs Opium, Marijuana and Morphine in that order, if information from 1st and 3rd source is believed to be true?

Detailed Solution for IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 8

t is known that the envelopes containing one or the other of the three drugs: Cocaine, Heroin and Darvon, were in one or the other of the three envelopes: Chota, Medium and Bada only.

Total number of envelopes containing one or the other of the above three  drugs would be: 384 + 367 + 402 = 1153.

Since the total number of envelopes is 1200 (Chota, Medium and Bada), the number of same envelopes for other drugs would be: 1200 - 1153 = 47.
Then we have x + y + z = 47. (x: Chota envelopes for other drugs, y: Medium envelopes for other drugs and z: Bada envelopes for other drugs) Now looking at the options, only option 3 fits in.
Hence, option 3.

IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 9

Q.

f the Chota envelopes containing Opium, Marijuana and Morphine are the maximum possible, then the number of envelopes of Opium in Coffee Stall that are not Chota, Medium or Bada cannot be less than____

(Assume information from 1st and 3rd source to be true.)

Detailed Solution for IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 9

The maximum possible number of Chota envelopes containing Opium, Marijuana and Morphine can be 47, as seen in the solution to the previous 

In order to minimise the number of envelopes containing Opium that do not belong to any of the Chota, Medium or Bada envelope, we must maximise the number of envelopes of Opium that are contained in Chota envelopes.
The total number of Opium envelopes at Coffee stall is 123.
Hence the required answer = 123 - 47 = 76.
Hence, option 2.

Q.

The number of envelopes of how many of the mentioned drugs is less than the average number of envelopes per variety of the mentioned drugs? 

Detailed Solution for IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 10

The total number of envelopes is 2400. Hence the average number of envelopes for each drug would be 400.
The number of envelopes of Cocaine, Heroin and Morphine is less than the average number of envelopes per variety for each drug.
Hence, option 2.

IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 11

Q.

What is the maximum possible number of Badshah envelopes at the Coffee stall?

Detailed Solution for IIFT Data Interpretation MCQ Quiz - 3 - Question 11

We know all the envelopes containing one or the other of the three drugs- Cocaine, Heroin and Darvon- were in one or the other of the three envelopes: Chota, Medium and Bada only.
Hence, in order to maximise the number of Badshah envelopes at the Coffee stall, we assume that the rest of the drugs are present in only Badshah sizes.

Hence, the maximum number of Badshah envelopes at the Coffee stall is 123 + 104+ 138 = 365
Hence, option 4.
