Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.A to...
Given, the proportion of B.Tech students is 20% or 0.2
The proportion of B.Com and B.Sc students put together is 80% or 0.8
Let the proportion of 8.Com students be k.
The proportion of B.Sc students is (0.8 - k).
Let us consider the last column. The total number of students of neither dot net nor Java certification holders (i.e. 200'{' of total) constitutes 40% of B.Tech. 20% of B.Com and 10% of B.Sc.
40% of B.Tech + 20% of B.Com + 10% of B.Sc = 20% of Total
(0.4) (0.2) + k (0.2) + (0.8 - k) 0.1 = 0.2
k(0.1) = 0.04 --> k = 0.4.
The proportion of total applicants from B.Sc. background is 0.4.
We have the following values:
A = 2600 - 1200 - 800 = 600.
B = 600 + 600 + 400 - 1000 = 600
C = 2000 - 1200 + 200 - 400 = 600.
G = 5000 - 2600 + 1400 - 1000 = 2800.
D = 2200 - 400 - 600 = 1200.
E = 2800 - 600 - 600 = 1600.
F = 1400 - 600 - 200 = 600.
There are 600 B.Tech graduates who are freshers. Among the 600 B.Tech graduates who have dot net certification all of them also have Java certification and are freshers..
There are no experienced Dot NET certification holders among B.Tech graduates.
Hence, the correct option is (d).

DIRECTIONS for questions: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below. The capital city of the kingdom of Alami has the royal palace in the centre, with five fortifications, labelled F1 to F5, surrounding the palace. All the Alami soldiers are always present at the royal palace unless ordered to move to a fortification. An enemy kingdom Bagami planned to attack the royal palace and built camps around the fortifications. The Bagamis built seven camps - E1 to E7 - around the Alami fortifications and each Bagami camp had a certain number of soldiers. The soldiers from a given Bagami camp can attack only some of the fortifications, as indicated in the diagrambelow. However, all the soldiers from a single Bagami camp need not necessarily attack the same fortification. The Alami king came to know about this and was planning to send his soldiers to the fortifications.The following diagram shows the royal palace (P), fortifications (F1 to F5) and enemy (Bagami) camps (E1 to E7). The solid lines in the figure represent the respective fortification to which the Alami soldiers can be deployed from the palace. The dotted lines from each enemy camp represent the fortifications that the soldiers from that enemy camp can attack. The numbers inside each enemy camp represent the number of soldiers stationed in that camp.Assume that all the Bagami soldiers attack the fortifications that they are assigned to at the same time and each soldier will attack exactly one fortification. Also, a higher numerical strength in terms of soldiers will assure victory to any side in such a manner that, if, say, 10 Bagami soldiers attack a fortification with 11 Alami soldiers, all the Bagami soldiers will die and the fortification will remain safe, but with only 1 Alami soldier remaining alive. If the number of Bagami soldiers attacking a fortification is equal to the number of Alami soldiers at the fortification, all the soldiers belonging to both the sides will die but the fortification will remain safe. In a similar manner, if the number of Bagami soldiers attacking is in excess of the number of Alami soldiers, the fortification will be destroyed, but with only the excess number of Bagami soldiers remaining alive.Q. During the attack, if a total of 612 soldiers died on both the sides put together, what is the minimum number of fortifications that would not have been destroyed?
