A total of 5000 applicants, from three different backgrounds - B.Tech, B.Com and B.Sc - applied for jobs in a certain software company. In the table given below, for the applicants from each background, the number of applicants who were experienced and the number of applicants having different types of certifications are given as a percentage of the total number of applicants from that background.
For example, according to the table above, 40% of the applicants from B.Tech background experienced, while 60% of the applicants from B.Tech background hold a Java certification.
It was observed that some of the applicants with experience did not have any certification, but all those without any experience (i.e., freshers) had either a dot NET or a Java certification or both. Further 20% of the total applicants are from B.Tech. background. The total number of applicants who have both a dot NET and a Java certification is 1400, of which 200 are from B.Com background.
How many applicants from B.Sc. background are experienced?
  • a)
    1400
  • b)
    800

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.
D = 1200.
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 Bagamicamp 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. If it is known that the Bagami king is planning to send an equal number of soldiers from each enemy camp to all the possible fortifications from that enemy camp, what is the number of soldiers that will be killed during the attack, if no fortification
