P(A) = Probability that Ajay gets a knife throwing ticket = Ajay gets in 1st draw + Ajay and Mohan don't get in 1st and 2nd draw x Ajay gets in 3rd draw + ...

Ajay getting in 1st draw = x/(x+y)

Ajay and Mohan not getting in 1st 2 draws = [y/(x+y)]² so P(A) = x/(x+y) + [y/(x+y)]² * [x/(x+y)] + [y/(x+y)]4 * [x/(x+y)] + ..

= (x/(x+y)) / (1-[y/(x+y)]²) = (x+y)/(x+2y)

Following similar approach for Mohan,

P(M) = (y/(x+y)) * (x/(x+y)) + [y/(x+y)]³ * [x/(x+y)] + [y/(x+y)]⁵ * [x/(x+y)] + ..

= y/(x+2y)

P(A)/P(M) = (x+y)/y

(a) P(A) = 4P(M) or (x+y)/y = 4 - this gives us x:y = 3:1 . So (a) is correct.

(b) P(A) = 5P(M) or (x+y)/y = 5 - this gives us x:y = 4:1, or y:x = 1:4 . So (b) is correct.

(d) P(M) is always less than P(A) from the equation. So. (d) is incorrect.

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?
