There are 5 friends of Swati namely Sumit, Rahi, Mitali, Sagar and Ta...

We have 6 brands and each brand has 2 or 3 candies. Therefore the minimum possible candies are 6 × 2 = 12 and the maximum possible candies are 6 × 3 = 18. The candies are equally distributed among 5 friends. So they must be multiple of 5. The number of candies range from 12 to 18. 15 is the only multiple of 5 in this range. Hence Swati had 15 candies with her of 6 brands

Let x brands have 2 candies of their brand and y brands have 3. Then we know that

2x + 3y = 15

X + y = 6 ⇒ x = 6 - y

2(6 - y) + 3y = 15

12 - 2 + 3y = 15

y = 3

⇒ x = 3

This gives us the clarity as there are 3 brands which have 3 candies each of their type and 3 brands with 2 candies each of their type. From the information given we infer -

• Only one friend has 1 brand, 3 have 3 brands. 1 friend remains.

• Rahi has a Revelgon.

• Sagar has Centre Fresh and Melody.

• Tanvi has 2 brands, which means she is the remaining friend.

• Mitali has 1 Revelgon and 1 Boomer.

• If there is Centre Fresh, there is Melody.

*From the above table we can see, that all brands have at least been once. Also these brands share other brands with them. Hence these are not the ones that stand alone. That is why the brand column has those numbers and clearly Sumit has 3 Juicy Jellies.

We have a minimum of 2 candies of a brand. Centre Fresh is not possible as above and thus only Rahi can have it. So Rahi will have Centre Fresh and Melody along with its Revelgon. From this inference we are able to conclude the following -

K - Kismis, B - Boomer, R - Revelgon, M - Melody. 4 cases are there as shown above.

Even if there are 4 cases, the number of Kismis is 3.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Answer the questions based on the following information :Rahul is sales manager of XYZ Computers Ltd. and looks after Delhi market. The company sells laptops in India. He is currently trying to select a distributor for coming five years. The distributor ensures that the products are accessible to the customers in the market. Market share of a company depends on the coverage by the distributor. The total profit potential of the entire laptop market in Delhi is Rs. 5 crores in the current year and present value of next four years’ cumulative profit potential is Rs. 15 crores. The first choice for Rahul is to enter into long-term contract with a distributor M/s Jayshree with whom XYZ company has done business in the past, and whose distribution system reaches 55 percent of all potential customers. At the last moment, however, a colleague suggests Rahul to consider signing a oneyear contract with other distributors. Distributors M/s Bola and M/s James are willing to be partner with Dubin. Although a year ago M/s Bola’s and M/s James’s coverage reached only 40 and 25 percent of customers respectively, they claim to have invested heavily in distribution resources and now expect to be able to reach 60 percent and 75 percent of customers respectively. The probability of M/s Bola’s claim and M/s James’s claim to be true is 0.60 and 0.20 respectively. The knowledge about distributors’ coverage will evolve over time. The assumption is that the true level of coverage offered by the new distributors could be discovered, with certainty, through a one-year trail, and this trail will reveal exactly one of the two levels of coverage: for example in case of M/s Bola – 40 percent (as it was last year) or 60 percent (as claime d). In addition, it is also assumed that whatever the coverage is for both distributors, it will not change over time. Rahul narrows down on three choices, which are as follows:Choice 1. Give a five year contract to the familiar distributor M/s Jayshree.Choice 2. Give a one year contract to the new distributor M/s Bola, and base next year’s decision to renew contract with M/s Bola on observed coverage for next four years or enter into a four years contract with M/s Jayshree.Choice 3. Give a one-year contract to the new distributor M/s James, and base next year’s decision to renew contract with M/s James on observed coverage for next four years or enter into a four years contract with M/s Jayshree..Q.If the distributor M/s James claims a coverage of 55% instead of 75% and probability of this claim to be true is 0.70 instead of 0.20 then which of the following statement is true?
