    Answer the following question based on the information given below.A m...
    We have the following two constraints:
    1. The maximum number of tickets that a customer can buy is 5.
    2. Tickets are sold to each customer in such a way that the total cost is a multiple of hundred.
    Thus we can see that each of the 21 customers can buy tickets in the following ways only.
    As no type C tickets were sold, we can eliminate cases 2, 3, 6, 9 and 10.
    Also, as each of the customers had purchased at least one ticket of type B, we can eliminate case 7.
    Hence possible combinations are,
    Now, 21 people buy 26 tickets of type B. Hence no more than one person can buy the first combination of tickets.
    Hence two cases are possible,
    Case 1: No person buys the first combination.
    Case 2: Exactly one person buys tickets as in the first combination.
    Consider Case 1: As no person buys the first combination hence combinations
    2, 3, 4 and 5 in the table are possible.
    As 21 people buy 26 tickets hence the number of people buying 3rd and 5th combination is 5.
    The remaining 16 people will buy the 2nd and 4th combination.
    Let us assume that x tickets of type B and x tickets of type D were purchased in combinations 2 and 3.
    Let y tickets of type B and 2y tickets of type A be purchased in combination 4.
    Let z tickets of type B, z tickets of type A and z/2 tickets of type D be purchased in combination 5.
    Hence, x + y+ z = 26, and 2x + 3y + 5z/2 = 60 Now,
    2x + 3y + 5z/2 = 2(x + y + z) + y + z/2 = 52 + y + z/2 = 60
    Hence, y + z/2 = 8 2y + z = 16 Now, number of A type tickets sold are,
    2y + z
    Hence number of A type tickets left = 30 - 16 = 14 Consider case 2: 1 person buys the first combination.
    Hence remaining 20 persons buy tickets in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th combination.
    Let us assume that x tickets of type B and x tickets of type D were purchased in combinations 2 and 3.
    Let y tickets of type B and 2y tickets of type A be purchased in combination 4.
    Let z tickets of type B, z tickets of type A and z/2 tickets of type D be purchased in combination 5.
    Hence, x + y + z = 21, and 2x + 3y + 5z/2 = 55 Now,
    2x + 3y + 5z/2 = 2(x + y + z) + y + z/2 = 42 + y + z/2 = 55 
    Hence, y + z/2 = 13 2y + z = 26 Now, number of tickets of type A that are sold is 2y + z = 26 Hence number of A type tickets left = 30 - 26 = 4 Either 4 or 14 tickets of type A were still available.

    Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the given question.The system of managing a companys interaction with current and future customers is called Customer Relationship Management or CRM. It makes use of modern technology to organise, automate and synchronise the following four areas; sales, marketing, customer service and technical support.CRM is designed to track and measure marketing campaigns over a variety of networks. These systems can track customer analysis by customer clicks as well as sales. Specifically, these systems are used in call centres, social media, direct mail, data storage files, banks and customer data queries. One unique aspect of this is that it can assist in formulating customer profiles.The goal of these systems is to track customers and their responses, record these responses and store them in databases and then mine this data for information that will improve customer relations. The CRM system codifies the interactions between companies and their customers in order to maximise sales. They make use of analytics and key performance indicators to give users much information on where to focus their marketing and customer service to maximise revenues as well as to decrease idle and unproductive contact with customers. Contact channels such as contact centres make use of CRM software. The software helps to direct customers to the right agent or information channel (such as informational recordings or automated bill payment or appointment scheduling). One key feature of CRM software is that it can be used to identify and reward loyal customers over a period of time, which can enhance customer relationships.One common function that CRM software is used for is to synchronise suitable appointment dates, times and methods for customer contact. Once the appointments are saved in the systems calendar, the information regarding the appointment can be easily retrieved. It can pull up information on specific information and then send an automated message as a reminder to the involved persons.Because of modern technology, the environment often requires businesses to interact with each other via the web. Because of this, The Sweeny Group defines CRM as being all the tools, technologies and procedures that are required to manage, improve or facilitate sales, customer/technical support and all related interactions with customers, prospective customers and business partners throughout the entire venture. Based on this definition, it is assumed that CRM is involved in every business to business transaction.The general concept is that CRM systems were created for customer-centric businesses, but they can also apply to business to business environments. In this sense, they are used to streamline and improve customer management conditions. Both systems (business to customer, business to business) are not created equal and are different in application. This is because relationships between business to business take longer to come to fruition than the business to customer. With this in mind, all softwares used for CRM must be personalised and delivered at individual levels.Q.Which of the following can be said about the current status of the usage of CRM systems?
