Direction: A toy-producing factory has a setup that requires 3 stages...
Let us start by manufacturing the first batch.
First machine will take 25 minutes and finish at 09:25. the other 2 stages happen after that and the table for batch 1 will look as follows:
Thus Batch 2 will start at 09:25 and finish at 09:50. Stage 2 can start only after 10:05 and will go till 10:45. Stage 3 will start from 10:45 and go till 11:15
For Batch 3, stage 1 will start at 09:50 to 10:15. Stage 2 can start after 10:45 and go till 11:25. Stage 3 can start at 11:25 and go till 11:55
For Batch 4, stage 1 will start at 10:30 to 10:55 as there is 15-minute maintenance. Stage 2 can start after 11:25 and go till 12:05.
Stage 3 can start at 11:25 and go till 11:55
Now for batch 5, stage 1 will start at 10:55 and go till 11:20. Stage 2 machine will undergo maintenance for 10 minutes as it manufactured 4 batches and can only start from 12:15 and will go till 12:55. Stage 3 will also undergo maintenance but it will be done from 12:35 to 12:50
Now for batch 6, stage 1 will start at 11:20 and go till 11:45. Stage 2 machine will available after 12:55 and will go till 13:35. Stage 3 will start from 13:35 and go till 14:05
Now for batch 7, stage 1 will start at 12:00 as it underwent 15 minutes maintenance and go till 12:25. Stage 2 machine will be available after 13:35 and will go till 14:15. Stage 3 will start from 14:15 and go till 14:45
Now for batch 8, stage 1 will start at 12:25 and go till 12:50. Stage 2 machine will available after 14:15 and will go till 14:55. Stage 3 will start from 14:55 and go till 15:25
Since stage 2 and stage 3 machine has manufactured 4 batches each they will undergo maintenance. Stage 2 will be available from 15:05 and stage 3 will be available from 15:40.
For batch 9, stage 1 will go from 12:50 to 13:15. Stage 2 will start from 15:05 and go till 15:45. Stage 3 will start from 15:45 to 16:15
For batch 10, stage 1 will go from 13:30 to 13:55. as it went maintenance for 5 minutes. Stage 2 will start at 15:45 and go till 16:25. Stage 3 will start from 16:25 to 16:55
We see that Batch 10 ends at 16:55. Any more batch will lead to completion after 17:00. Thus a total of 10 batches are made.
Batch 6 starts from 11:20 and ends at 14:05 which is 165 minutes

Direction: A toy-producing factory has a setup that requires 3 stages...
Calculation of time difference between batch 6 completion and factory start
In order to find the absolute difference in time when batch 6 was completed and when the factory began operating, we need to calculate the total time taken to produce 6 batches of toys.

Time taken for each stage
- Stage 1: 25 minutes per batch
- Stage 2: 40 minutes per batch
- Stage 3: 30 minutes per batch

Time taken for maintenance
- Stage 1: 15 minutes after every 3 batches
- Stage 2: 10 minutes after every 4 batches
- Stage 3: 20 minutes after every 4 batches

Calculation for batch 6
- For batch 1 to 3, Stage 1 runs continuously without maintenance
- For batch 4, Stage 1 goes down for maintenance for 15 minutes
- For batch 5, Stage 1 runs continuously
- For batch 6, Stage 1 goes down for maintenance for 15 minutes

Total time taken
- For stage 1: (25 minutes x 3 batches) + 15 minutes + (25 minutes x 2 batches) + 15 minutes = 130 minutes
- For stage 2: 40 minutes x 6 batches = 240 minutes
- For stage 3: 30 minutes x 6 batches = 180 minutes

Adding all stages together
Total time taken = 130 minutes (Stage 1) + 240 minutes (Stage 2) + 180 minutes (Stage 3) = 550 minutes

Calculation of time difference
The factory operates from 9 am to 5 pm, which is 8 hours or 480 minutes. The time difference is therefore 550 minutes (total time taken) - 480 minutes (factory operating time) = 70 minutes.
Therefore, the absolute difference in time when batch 6 was completed and when the factory began operating is 70 minutes.

Directions: Read the passage carefully and select the best answer out of the given four alternatives.What if globally designed products could radically change how we work, produce and consume? Several examples across continents show the way we are producing and consuming goods could be improved by relying on globally shared digital resources, such as design, knowledge and software. Imagine a prosthetic hand designed by geographically dispersed communities of scientists, designers and enthusiasts in a collaborative manner via the web. All knowledge and software related to the hand is shared globally as a digital commons. People from all over the world who are connected online and have access to local manufacturing machines can, ideally with the help of an expert, manufacture different commodities. There are no patent costs to pay for. Less transportation of materials is needed, since a considerable part of the manufacturing takes place locally; maintenance is easier, products are designed to last as long as possible, and costs are thus much lower.Take another example. Small-scale farmers need agricultural machines to support their work. Big companies rarely produce machines specifically for small-scale farmers. And if they do, the maintenance costs are high and the farmers have to adjust their farming techniques to the logic of the machines. Technology, after all, is not neutral. So the farmers decide to design the agricultural machines themselves. They produce machines to accommodate their needs and not to sell them for a price on the market. They share their designs with the world – as a global digital commons.Experts are now exploring the contours of an emerging mode of production that builds on the confluence of the digital commons of knowledge, software, and design with local manufacturing technologies. They call this model "design global, manufacture local" and argue that it could lead to sustainable and inclusive forms of production and consumption. It follows the logic that what is light (knowledge, design) becomes global while what is heavy (manufacturing) is local, and ideally shared. When knowledge is shared, materials tend to travel less and people collaborate driven by diverse motives. The profit motive is not totally absent, but it is peripheral. Decentralised open resources for designs can be used for a wide variety of things, medicines, furniture, prosthetic devices, farm tools, machinery and so on.There is now a new idea called cosmolocalism that comes partly from discourse on cosmopolitanism which asserts that each of us has equal moral standing, even as nations treat people differently. The dominant economic system treats physical resources as if they were infinite and then locks up intellectual resources as if they were finite. But the reality is quite the contrary. We live in a world where physical resources are limited, while non-material resources are digitally reproducible and therefore can be shared at a very low cost.However, there are some limitations too. A limitation of this new model is its two main pillars, such as information and communication as well as local manufacturing technologies. These issues may pertain to resource extraction, exploitative labour, energy use or material flows. A thorough evaluation of such products and practices would need to take place.Q. In 'People from all...ideally with the help of an expert', why do you think the author considers it ideal to take help of an expert?

DIRECTIONS for the question:Go through the graph and the information given below and answer the question that follows.In a factory there are six polishing machines - A, B, C, D, E and F. The factory produces item X. Polishing is the last step of manufacturing process. Each of the machines A, B, C, D, E and F takes 3, 2, 3, 1, 2 and 4 hours respectively to polish one unit of X, which is called one polish time. After polishing each unit the machines need a rest of 3, 1, 1, 2, 2 and 2 hours respectively. Every machine starts polishing at 6.00 a.m. and no machine works after 4.00 p.m. Each unit of item X needs to be polished exactly thrice. These three polishing should be done on three different machines. There should be a time gap of at least two hours between two successive polishings of a unit. The total time taken for an item to be polished is the time taken from the starting of the first polish to the end of the third polish. No polish time has any break in between. No machine takes more or less time than the stipulated rest time between two consecutive polishings in a day.If the total time taken for completion of polishing an item is the minimum possible, then what can be maximum possible value (in hours) of the sum of the time gaps between any two successive polishings? (in numerical valu e) Correct answer is '5'. Can you explain this answer?
