Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 1

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

A drug manufacturing company presents the data on manufacturing of four new types of drugs that it started manufacturing in 2015. The first table shows the breakup of the manufacturing in each month (in thousand units) and the second table shows the share of the types of drugs being manufactured in each quarter as a percentage of the total manufactured drugs for that quarter.

Some parameters have been defined as under:

Quarter production efficiency = (Average monthly production of the drug in the quarter - Total average monthly production)/ Total average monthly production

Quarter comparison ratio = (Average monthly production of the drug in a quarter) / (Average monthly production of the drug in other quarter)

Quarter percent = (The total production in a quarter / Total production) x 100

Which of the following drug types has the lowest per month average production?

 

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 1

Consider the total drug production (in thousands) for each quarter.

Jan-Feb-Mar = 18 + 20 + 15 = 53; Apr-May-Jun = 17 + 19 + 15 = 51; Jul-Aug-Sep = 13 + 15 + 16 = 44; Oct-Nov-Dec = 19 + 18 + 15 = 52

The average monthly production for any drug type will be the weighted average of the total drug production.

For Pain Killers, total production = (27% of 53) + (45% of 51) + (34% of 44) + (31 % of 52)

= 14.31 + 22.95 + 14.96 + 16.12 = 68.34

Average monthly production of pain killers (in thousands)

= 68.34/12 = 5.695

Similarly, for Antibiotics, total production = (28% of 53) + (25% of 51) + (14% of 44) + (21 % of 52)

= 14.84 + 12.75 + 6.16 + 10.92 = 44.67

Average monthly production of antibiotics (in thousands) = 44.67/12 = 3.7225

For Vitamins, total production = (23% of 53) + (16% of 51) + (25% of 44) + (23% of 52)

= 12.19 + 8.16+ 11 + 11.96 = 43.31

Average monthly production of vitamins (in thousands) = 43.31/12 = 3.609

For Probiotic Capsules, total production = (22% of 53) + (14% of 51) + (27% of 44) + (25% of 52)

= 11.66 + 7.14 + 11.88 + 13 = 43.68

Average monthly production of probiotic capsules (in thousands) = 43.68/12 = 3.64

Thus, the least per month average production is for vitamins.

Hence, option 3.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 2

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

A drug manufacturing company presents the data on manufacturing of four new types of drugs that it started manufacturing in 2015. The first table shows the breakup of the manufacturing in each month (in thousand units) and the second table shows the share of the types of drugs being manufactured in each quarter as a percentage of the total manufactured drugs for that quarter.

Some parameters have been defined as under:

Quarter production efficiency = (Average monthly production of the drug in the quarter - Total average monthly production)/ Total average monthly production

Quarter comparison ratio = (Average monthly production of the drug in a quarter) / (Average monthly production of the drug in other quarter)

Quarter percent = (The total production in a quarter / Total production) x 100

Q.

Which drug shows the highest change in production from any one quarter to the next?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 2

Consider the total drug production (in thousands) for each quarter.

Jan-Feb-Mar = 18 + 20 + 15 = 53; Apr-May-Jun = 17 + 19 + 15 = 51; Jul-Aug-Sep = 13 + 15 + 16 = 44; Oct-Nov-Dec = 19 + 18 + 15 = 52

The average monthly production for any drug type will be the weighted average of the total drug production.

For Pain Killers, total production = (27% of 53) + (45% of 51) + (34% of 44) + (31 % of 52)

= 14.31 + 22.95 + 14.96 + 16.12 = 68.34

Average monthly production of pain killers (in thousands)

= 68.34/12 = 5.695

Similarly, for Antibiotics, total production = (28% of 53) + (25% of 51) + (14% of 44) + (21 % of 52)

= 14.84 + 12.75 + 6.16 + 10.92 = 44.67

Average monthly production of antibiotics (in thousands) = 44.67/12 = 3.7225

For Vitamins, total production = (23% of 53) + (16% of 51) + (25% of 44) + (23% of 52)

= 12.19 + 8.16+ 11 + 11.96 = 43.31

Average monthly production of vitamins (in thousands) = 43.31/12 = 3.609

For Probiotic Capsules, total production = (22% of 53) + (14% of 51) + (27% of 44) + (25% of 52)

= 11.66 + 7.14 + 11.88 + 13 = 43.68

Average monthly production of probiotic capsules (in thousands) = 43.68/12 = 3.64

Thus, the least per month average production is for vitamins.

Consider each type of medicine at a time and try to identify the highest percentage change by observation (as far as possible).

Pain Killer:

Consider the actual change in each quarter: Apr-Jun = 22.95 - 14.31 = 8.64, Jul-Sep = 7.99 and Oct-Dec =1.16

Observe that the actual change in Apr-Jun and Jul-Sep is nearly the same, but the base is smaller for Apr-Jun (14.31) compared to Jul-Sep (22.95).

Hence, the % change in Apr-Jun > % change in Jul-Sep

Similarly, observe that the base value in Jan-Mar and Jul- Sep is nearly same but the actual change is much higher in Apr-Jun (8.64) compared to Oct-Dec (1.16)

Hence, the % change in Apr-Jun > % change in Oct-Dec

Hence, just calculate the % change for Apr-Jun

% change = (8.64/14.31) * 100 = 60.38% (This is the highest quarter-on-quarter % change for pain killer).

Use this 60% as a reference for the next type of medicine.

Antibiotics:

Actual change in each quarter: Apr-Jun = 2.09, Jul-Sep =

6.59 and Oct-Dec = 4.76

Apr-Jun for Antibiotics has similar figures as Oct-Dec for

Pain Killers. Hence, it is definitely less than 60%.

The figures for Jul-Sep for painkillers become nearly half of figures in Apr-Jun. Hence, this is approximately a 50% change.

Hence, just check for Oct-Dec

% change = (4.76/6.16) x 100 = 77.27%

Now you can verify that no other drug in any quarter has such a high growth.

Hence, option 2.

Note: One way to verify this is to apply a 78% growth to each quarter i.e. where there is an increase, multiply by 1.78 and where there is a decrease, multiple by 0.22.

e.g. For Vitamins, Apr-Jun = 8.16. Now, 8.16 x 1.78 = 14.52. Since July-Sep value (i.e. 11) < 14.52, the growth is less than 78%

Similarly, for For Vitamins, Jan-Mar = 12.19. Now, 12.19 x 0.22 = 2.68. Since Apr-Jun value (8.16) > 2.68, the decrease is less than 78%.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 3

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

A drug manufacturing company presents the data on manufacturing of four new types of drugs that it started manufacturing in 2015. The first table shows the breakup of the manufacturing in each month (in thousand units) and the second table shows the share of the types of drugs being manufactured in each quarter as a percentage of the total manufactured drugs for that quarter.

Some parameters have been defined as under:

Quarter production efficiency = (Average monthly production of the drug in the quarter - Total average monthly production)/ Total average monthly production

Quarter comparison ratio = (Average monthly production of the drug in a quarter) / (Average monthly production of the drug in other quarter)

Quarter percent = (The total production in a quarter / Total production) x 100

Q.

Which drug has the highest quarter production efficiency, in any given quarter?

 

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 3

Quarter production efficiency = (Average monthly production in that quarter - Total average monthly production)/Total average monthly production

Total average monthly production for each type of drug has been found in one of the earlier solutions:

Pain Killers = 5.69, Antibiotics = 3.72, Vitamins = 3.61 and Probiotic Capsules = 3.64

Hence, for any given drug, quarter production efficiency will be the highest when its quarterly manfacturing is highest. Hence, instead of finding quarterly efficiency of each drug for each quarter, find it for each drug only for its highest manufacturing quarter.

Pain Killers (Apr-Jun) = 22.95/3 = 7.65

Quarter efficiency = [(7.65 - 5.69)/5.69] x 100 =

(1.96/5.69) x 100 = 34.45%

Antibiotics (Jan-Mar) = 14.84/3 = 4.95

Quarter efficiency = [(4.95 - 3.72)/3.72] x 100 =

(1.23/3.72) x 100 = 33.06%

Vitamins (Jan-Mar) = 12.19/3 = 4.06

Quarter efficiency = [(4.06 - 3.61 )/3.61 ] x 100 = (0.45/3.61) x 100 = 12.47%

Probiotic Capsules (Oct-Dec) = 13/3 = 4.33

Quarter efficiency = [(4.33 - 3.64)/3.64] x 100 = (0.69/3.64) x 100 = 18.97%

Hence, the highest quarter production efficiency is for Pain Killers in Apr-Jun

Hence, option 4.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 4

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

A drug manufacturing company presents the data on manufacturing of four new types of drugs that it started manufacturing in 2015. The first table shows the breakup of the manufacturing in each month (in thousand units) and the second table shows the share of the types of drugs being manufactured in each quarter as a percentage of the total manufactured drugs for that quarter.

Some parameters have been defined as under:

Quarter production efficiency = (Average monthly production of the drug in the quarter - Total average monthly production)/ Total average monthly production

Quarter comparison ratio = (Average monthly production of the drug in a quarter) / (Average monthly production of the drug in other quarter)

Quarter percent = (The total production in a quarter / Total production) x 100

Q.

Which quarter has the second highest quarter percent?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 4

Quarter percent = total production for a quarter/total production for the year.

Total production for each quarter is independent of medicine type and has been found for each quarter:

Jan-Mar = 53; Apr-Jun = 51; Jul-Sep = 44; Oct-Dec = 52

Since the total annual production is same in all four calculations, the quarter with the highest production (i.e. 53) will have the highest quarter percent.

Hence, option 1.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 5

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

A drug manufacturing company presents the data on manufacturing of four new types of drugs that it started manufacturing in 2015. The first table shows the breakup of the manufacturing in each month (in thousand units) and the second table shows the share of the types of drugs being manufactured in each quarter as a percentage of the total manufactured drugs for that quarter.

Some parameters have been defined as under:

Quarter production efficiency = (Average monthly production of the drug in the quarter - Total average monthly production)/ Total average monthly production

Quarter comparison ratio = (Average monthly production of the drug in a quarter) / (Average monthly production of the drug in other quarter)

Quarter percent = (The total production in a quarter / Total production) x 100

Q.

The quarter comparison ratio for Vitamins is the least for which of the following two quarters?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 5

Solve this option by option.

Since each quarter has the same number of months, ratio of average monthly production per quarter is the same as ratio of total production of that type per quarter.

Option 1: Jan-Mar & Jul-Sep = 12.19/11 >1

Option 2: Apr-Jun & Jan-Mar = 8.16/12.19 < 1

Option 3: Jul-Sep & Apr-Jun = 11/8.16 > 1

Opion 4: Jul-Sep & Jan-Mar = 11/12.19 < 1

Since the least value is required, options 1 and 3 are eliminated.

In options 2 and 4, the denominator is the same while option has the smaller numerator.

Hence, the value in option 2 is the smallest.

Hence, option 2.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 6

Answer the following question based on the information given below.
The chart below shows the break-up of the total salary expenditure of a company in 2011-12 in its five departments. There are no other departments in this company. The total salary paid out is Rs. 1,200 lakh.

The chart below shows the highest salary for any employee and average salary per employee for each department in 2011-12. All figures in the chart are in Rs. lakhs.


The chart below shows the contribution of salary expenditure to total expenditure for some fiscal years.

Q.

What could be the maximum number of people in the M&A department that earn the highest possible salary package for that department?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 6

Total salary paid out in M&A department = (60/360) * 1200 = Rs. 200 lakhs.

The maximum possible salary that a person can get in M7A = Rs. 35 lakhs.

200 = 35(5) + 25

Hence, a maximum of 5 people can get the maximum possible salary in M&A.

Hence, option 1.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 7

Answer the following question based on the information given below.
The chart below shows the break-up of the total salary expenditure of a company in 2011-12 in its five departments. There are no other departments in this company. The total salary paid out is Rs. 1,200 lakh.

The chart below shows the highest salary for any employee and average salary per employee for each department in 2011-12. All figures in the chart are in Rs. lakhs.


The chart below shows the contribution of salary expenditure to total expenditure for some fiscal years.

Q.

The expenditure on salaries for the HR department is the same in 2010-11 and 2011-12. The salary expenditure on HR in 2010-11 forms what percentage of the total expenditure of the company in that fiscal?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 7

The salary expenditure on HR can be found for 2010-11. However, the total expenditure of the company is not known for 2010-11.

Hence, the required percentage cannot be found.

Hence, option 4.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 8

Answer the following question based on the information given below.
The chart below shows the break-up of the total salary expenditure of a company in 2011-12 in its five departments. There are no other departments in this company. The total salary paid out is Rs. 1,200 lakh.

The chart below shows the highest salary for any employee and average salary per employee for each department in 2011-12. All figures in the chart are in Rs. lakhs.


The chart below shows the contribution of salary expenditure to total expenditure for some fiscal years.

Q.

What is the total expenditure of the company per employee for the year 2011-12 (in Rs. lakhs)?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 8

Total salary expenditure in 2011-12 (Rs. 1,200 lakhs) is 25% of the total expenditure of the company for that fiscal.

Total expenditure of the company in 2011-12 = 1200/0.25 = Rs. 4,800 lakhs.

Total salary expenditure on HR = (90/360) * 1200 = Rs. 300 lakhs

Average salary expenditure per employee in HR = Rs. 1 lakh

Number of employees in HR = 300/1 = 300

Similarly, find for each department.

Finance: Total = (60/360) * 1200 = Rs. 200 lakhs and average = Rs. 0.8 lakhs

Number of employees = 200/0.8 = 250

M & A: Total = (60/360) * 1200 = Rs. 200 lakhs and average = Rs. 1.6 lakhs

Number of employees = 200/1.6 = 125

IT: Total = (30/360) * 1200 = Rs. 100 lakhs and average = Rs. 0.5 lakhs

Number of employees = 100/0.5 = 200

Marketing: Total = (120/360) x 1200 = Rs. 400 lakhs and average = Rs. 2 lakhs

Number of employees = 400/2 = 200

Total employees = 300 + 250 + 125 + 200 + 200 = 1075

Average expenses per employee = 4800/1075 = Rs. 4.465 lakhs

Hence, option 1.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 9

Answer the following question based on the information given below.
The chart below shows the break-up of the total salary expenditure of a company in 2011-12 in its five departments. There are no other departments in this company. The total salary paid out is Rs. 1,200 lakh.

The chart below shows the highest salary for any employee and average salary per employee for each department in 2011-12. All figures in the chart are in Rs. lakhs.


The chart below shows the contribution of salary expenditure to total expenditure for some fiscal years.

Q.

If the income has constant income as well as constant expenditure on salary each year, which year is the most profitable?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 9

Since the income is constant, the year with least total expenditure will be most profitable.

Since salary expenditure is constant, the year in which it contributes the most (in %) to total expenditure, will have least total expenditure.

Since the percentage contribution of salary to total expenditure is most in 2010-11 (40%), this year has the least total expenditure, and hence, the highest profitability.

Hence, option 3.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 10

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

A telecom company - XYZ - recently conducted a market survey over three years which asked people to rate their company on different parameters. The data obtained was then put in a chart as shown below:

Q.

 If the final rating of a parameter is given by (0.714 x Rating of 2015) + (0.571 x Rating of 2014) + (0.362 x Rating of 2013), which of these parameters will have the best final rating?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 10

Connectivity: (0.714)(3.8) + (0.571 )(3.2) + (0.362)(4.7) = 2.698 + 1.8272 + 1.7014 = 6.2266

Call-drop: (0.714)(3) + (0.571 )(4.2) + (0.362)(5) = 2.142 + 2.3982 + 1.81 =6.3502

Tariffs: (0.714)(5) + (0.571 )(4.5) + (0.362)(3.8) = 3.57 + 2.5695 + 1.3756 = 7.5151

Offers: (0.714)(3.1) + (0.571 )(4.8) + (0.362)(5.2) = 2.2134 + 2.7408 + 1.8824 = 6.8336

Hence, option 3.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 11

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 14

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

To assess the quality of education that was being imparted by the local schools in the state, the education ministry had assigned the project to an external research agency to find out the details of the students who had passed in the recently held state wide examinations.

The survey was carried out across Class VIII, Class IX and Class X students of the state. To speed up the survey, the areas from where these students came were categorized into three zones: Zone A, Zone B and Zone C. The number of students sampled in each zone was 1000. The survey form was a simple four question paper in which the participant had to fill in the answer applicable to him.

The questions asked were:

Did you pass in Class VIII?

Did you pass in Class IX?

Did you pass in Class X?

Have you failed in your examination?

The answers to all the questions were to be in either YES or NO. There was no other answer possible.

The survey report was presented in the following format. The percentages as shown mean the percentage of students who answered YES to that particular question.

In the above charts, only the creator of the questionnaire knew what the options A, B, C and D meant.

In Zone C, he knew from looking at the above charts that 220 students of all the participants in the survey had failed in the examination. And further more, in all the three zones put together, the difference between the number of students who had passed in Class IX and those who had passed in Class X was 100.

Q.

If in Zone A where the number of students who had passed in  Class VIII was minimum possible, then which of the following statements can be definitely concluded?

a.    The maximum number of students had passed in Class IX in Zone B.

b.     The minimum number of students had passed in Class X in Zone B.

c.     The minimum number of students had passed in Class X in Zone C.

d.    The maximum number of students had passed in Class IX in Zone A.

e.    The minimum number of students had failed in all classes put together in Zone A.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 14

Tabulating the data from the chart we have the following data table:

Now since we have that 220 students of all the participants in the survey had failed in the examination. And further more, in all the three zones put together, the difference between the
number of students who had passed in Class IX and that in Class X was 100.

This would hold good only for the following cases:

Since in Zone A where the number of students who had passed in Class VIII was minimum possible, then selection of Option A in the survey form would have indicated that the participant had passed in Class VIII since this is the least number. According to either of the case 3 or 4, this could be true and the two classes i.e. IX and X should be indicated by either B or C but their exact order cannot be concluded. Further selection of option C in the survey form indicated that the students have failed in all the three classes in that zone. Hence none of the statements except e can be concluded.

Hence, option 3.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 15

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

To assess the quality of education that was being imparted by the local schools in the state, the education ministry had assigned the project to an external research agency to find out the details of the students who had passed in the recently held state wide examinations.

The survey was carried out across Class VIII, Class IX and Class X students of the state.

The survey form was a simple four question paper in which the participant had to fill in the answer applicable to him.

The questions asked were:

Did you pass in Class VIII?

Did you pass in Class IX?

Did you pass in Class X?

Have you failed in your examination?

The answers to all the questions were to be in either YES or NO. There was no other answer possible.

The survey report was presented in the following format. The percentages as shown mean the percentage of students who answered YES to that particular question.

In the above charts, only the creator of the questionnaire knew what the options A, B, C and D meant.

In Zone C, he knew from looking at the above charts that 220 students of all the participants in the survey had failed in the examination. And further more, in all the three zones put together, the difference between the number of students who had passed in Class IX and those who had passed in Class X was 100.

Q.

If the number of students who had passed in Class X in all zones put together is minimum possible, then which of the given statements is definitely false?

a. Of all the students who had passed in Class IX in all the zones put together, the minimum were from Zone A.

b. Of all the students who had passed in Class VIII in all the zones put together, the minimum were from Zone B.

c. Of all the students who had failed in all classes put together, the minimum were from Zone A.

d. Of all the students who had failed in all classes put together, the maximum were from Zone B.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 15

Going by the statement when the number of students who had passed in all Class X in all zones put together is minimum possible, then option A in the survey form must indicate the number of students who had passed in Class X. Accordingly, only Case 1 would remain valid.

Hence statement c is definitely false.

Hence option 2.

The answers to all the questions were to be in either YES or NO. There was no other answer possible.

The survey report was presented in the following format. The percentages as shown mean the percentage of students who answered YES to that particular question.

In the above charts, only the creator of the questionnaire knew what the options A, B, C and D meant.

In Zone C, he knew from looking at the above charts that 220 students of all the participants in the survey had failed in the examination. And further more, in all the three zones put together, the difference between the number of students who had passed in Class IX and those who had passed in Class X was 100.

Q.

If in Zone B, the number of students who had passed in Class VIII was minimum possible, then which of the following statements is definitely true?

a. In Zone A, the number of students who failed in either Class IX or Class X was 9.33% of total surveyed students.

b. In Zone C, the number of students who failed in either Class VIII or Class X was 19% of total surveyed students.

c. In Zone B, the number of students who failed in Class IX or Class VIII was 63.5% of students surveyed from that zone.

d. In Zone C, the number of students who failed in either Class IX or Class X was 43% of students surveyed from that zone.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 16

If in Zone B, the number of students who had passed in Class VIII was minimum possible, then it can be concluded that option A in the survey form must indicate the number of students who had passed in class VIII. Hence options B and D should then indicate the number of students who had passed in Class IX and Class X.

Now, the sum of number of students in options B and D would be same as the number of students who were placed in neither option A nor C and same would also hold good for any other combination as well.

Looking into various options and verifying each option it can be concluded that statement d is true.

Hence, option 4.

Q.

If 18.5% of students passed in class VIII in Zone B, what is  the total number of students who passed in class X across the three Zones

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 18

As 18.5% passed in Class VIII in Zone B, it indicates Case 1 or Case 2, either of which will give a different number of students passed in Class X.

Hence, the number cannot be uniquely determined.

Hence, option 4

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 19

Three persons A, B, and C together have to finish a task. It takes 75 minutes  for them to finish one-fourth of the task. A and C together take 75% of theMarks time taken by A and B together to finish the task. C takes 300 minutes lessthan B to finish the task. What is the time taken by A alone to finish the task?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 19

Since A, B and C take 75 minutes to finish one-fourth of a task, they take 300 minutes i.e. 5 hours, to complete the entire task.

Let the total work be some multiple of 5, say 25 units.

Let a, b and c be the amount of work done by A, B and C per hour.

a + b + c = 25/5 = 5 units/hour ... (i)

A and C together take 75% of the time taken by A and B together to finish the task.

Substituting this value of a in (i),

3c-4b + b + c = 5

4c —3b = 5 ... (ii)

C takes 300 minutes less than B to finish the task i.e. C takes 5 hours less

Substituting the value of c from (ii) in (iii)

156 + 25 - 206 = 362 + 56

362+ 106-25 = 0

6 = 5/3 or-15

b has to be positive as it corresponds to amount of work done by B per hour i.e. b = 5/3

Substituting this value in (iii), c = 5/2

Substituting the value of b and c in (i),

Hence, option 4.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 24

In a group, there are 2 adults and 3 children. An adult is at least 18 years old.

Two years ago, the age of the eldest person from the group equals the sum of the current ages of the children. The current age of the youngest adult is 6 less than the sum of the current ages of the children. Three years ago, the ratio of the ages of the children was 1:2:4. There are exactly 3 adults in the group after 3 years. What is the sum of the current ages of the members of the group, if all ages are integral?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 24

Currently there are 2 adults in the group and 3 years later there are exactly 3 adults in the group.

Thus the eldest child in the initial group could be 15, 16 or 17 years old. Also, 3 years before, the ratio of the ages of the children was 1:2:4.

3 years ago, ages of the children are 3, 6 and 12 (to get the ratio 1:2:4)

Current ages of children are 6, 9 and 15.

Sum of the ages of children = 30

Two years ago,  the age of eldest person from the group equals the sum of the current ages of the children.

30 = £-2 or £ = 32

The current age of the youngest adult is 6 less than the sum of the current ages of the children.

30 = Y+ 6 or Y= 24

​Sum of the current ages of the group = 30 + 32 + 24 = 86

Hence, option 4.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 25

A gorilla eats an orange, an apple, a mango, a peach and a guava one by one at random. What is the probability that it eats the apple before eating the mango and guava

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 25

The 5 fruits can be eaten in 5! = 120 ways.

The apple has to be the first, second or third fruit to be eaten.

Case 1: The apple is eaten first.

Since the apple just has to be eaten before the mango and guava (and the relative order of the mango and guava is unimportant), the remaining four fruits can be eaten in 4! = 24 ways.

Case 2: The apple is eaten second.

Now, the mango and guava can be eaten third, fourth or fifth in 3C2 ways ie. 3 ways.

Also, the order of the mango and guava can be interchanged, they can be eaten in 3 x 2 = 6 ways.

The remaining two fruits can be eaten in 2! = 2 ways.

Total ways = 6x2=12 ways

Case 3: The apple is eaten third.

The mango and guava have to be fourth and fifth (in any order). Since their order can be interchanged, they can be eaten in 2 ways.

The remaining two fruits can be eaten in 2! = 2 ways.

otal ways = 2x2 = 4 ways

Total number of ways in which the apple is eaten before the mango and guava = 24 + 12 + 4 = 40

Hence, option 1.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 26

In a class of 56 students, each student studies at least one out of 3 languages - German, Spanish and French. 24 students study German, 28 students study Spanish and 30 students study French. 4 students study German and Spanish, but not French. 6 students study German and French, but not Spanish. 4 students study all the three languages. How many students study Spanish and French but not German?

 

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 26

The given data can be represented as shown below:

24 students study German.

4 + 4 + 6 + a = 24

a = 10 (i)

28 students study Spanish.

4 + 4 + b + d— 28

b + d = 20... (ii)

30 students study French.

6 + 4 + c + d = 30

c + d = 20... (iii)

From (ii) and (iii), b = c........ (iv)

The total number of students in the class = 56

24 + b + d + c = 56

b + d + c = 32 (v)

From (iii) and (v), b = 12 and then from (ii), d = 8

Thus, the number of students who study Spanish and French, but not German = 8

Hence, option 1.

Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 27

There are three types of fruits at a fruit shop - apples, bananas and oranges. All apples cost the same, all bananas cost the same and all oranges cost the same. The total cost of apples, bananas and oranges is Rs. 2160. The average cost of each fruit is Rs. 36. The average cost of apples and bananas is Rs. 39, of bananas and oranges is Rs. 360/11 and of apples and oranges is 110/3. Were apples Rs. 1 costlier, bananas Rs. 6 costlier and oranges Rs. 7 costlier, the total average would be Rs. 41. What is the number of apples, bananas and oranges and the cost of each unit of these respective fruits?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for IIFT - 12 - Question 27

The data in the question gives us six equations in six unknowns, which are difficult to solve. So we evaluate options instead.We can see that only option 1 satisfies the fact that the total cost is Rs. 2160. Hence, option 1.
