Directions: In a game of card cricket, there are cards placed on a table, each card having an identifiable front(F) and a back(B) side. The first card has number 1 on F and 2 on B, the second card has number 3 on F and 4 on B, and so on..... The nth card has 2n-1 on F and 2n on B. These cards are shuffled, such that the F of each card is on the top and the B of each card is on the bottom. The batsman picks up any random card in each turn. If the number on either F or B of the card has a single digit, the batsman is termed OUT. Else if the number on either F or B has every digit as the same(ex: 555, 66, 1111), the batsman is termed OUT. If none of the above conditions is met, the batsman is awarded some runs in the following way:
S1 = Sum of digits of the number on F
S2 = Sum of digits of the number on B
R(Runs awarded to the batsman) = Maximum(S1, S2)
After every turn, the card is put back into the deck, so that it can be picked again.
Each time the batsman picks a card, it is termed as a delivery(similar to cricket). Runs scored in each delivery keeps on adding to the total score of the batsman. So, the total score of a batsman is the sum of the runs scored by him/her in all the deliveries faced. The batsman keeps picking up cards till he/she is termed OUT. After the batsman is out, the second player follows the same till he/she is termed out. The player with a higher total score wins the game. Based on the information provided, answer the questions that follow.

Total number of cards = 393.
2 x 393 = 786 .i.e Highest number on any card
Cards on which he can get OUT are:
(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10), (11, 12), (21, 22), (33, 34), (43, 44), (55, 56), (65, 66), (77, 78), (87, 88), (99, 100), (111, 112), (221, 222), (333, 334), (443, 444), (555, 556), (665, 666), (777, 778)
Total = 21
Hence, probability = 21/393 = 7/131

Calculating the Probability of Anuj getting out on the first delivery:

Total number of cards: 393
- There are 393 cards in total in the deck.

Calculating the total number of cards that lead to Anuj getting out on the first delivery:
- Anuj will get out if the number on either F or B has a single digit.
- Single digit numbers from 1 to 9 are considered out.

Total number of cards with single digits:
- Since there are 9 single digit numbers, there are 9 cards that lead to Anuj getting out on the first delivery.

Calculating the probability:
- Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)
- Number of favorable outcomes = 9 (cards with single digits)
- Total number of outcomes = 393

Probability of Anuj getting out on the first delivery:
- Probability = 9 / 393
- Probability = 3 / 131
- Probability = 7/131
Therefore, the probability of Anuj getting out on the first delivery is 7/131.

Directions: Read the following case and answer the questions that follow:Mata Motors introduced an ambitious project in the year 2007 of launching a car that would only cost Rs. 1 lac. The basic ambition behind this scheme was to target the group of motor-cyclists and two-wheeler drivers in India. The company thought at the time that such a product would be highly attractive to the lower and the lower-middle classes as this would give them a chance of escaping lives on two-wheelers, and at the same time, enable the company to generate a foothold in the Indian market. The company first decided to set-up the plant in West Bengal and got into an MOU with the West Bengal government. The company was forcibly allocated land in Bandigram, and it started work on the plant. One year into the project, the company faced wide-scale protests against the forcible land acquisition, and ultimately it had to shift the plant to another state. The company lost 2 years in the process. Ultimately, the car which was meant to be launched in 2010, was launched in 2012. During these years, the international metal and oil market went through some wild fluctuations and this has meant that the company had to face rising raw material costs. This meant that the overall cost of the car went up by about 15% and meant that the 1 lac price point previously announced become clearly unviable. To add to the companies’ woes, the company’s suppliers for essential accessories and fittings such as lamps, seat covers etc. also asked for an increase in prices, and have started delaying or cancelling their deliveries. In the light of these events, even though the car was launched in the year 2012, very few deliveries have been made, and the enormous interest the car generated is beginning to dissipate. The customers who pre-booked the cars are unhappy that their cars have not been delivered, and the Matas are in a fix with respect to their suppliers as well the price of the car.From the above example, it can be concluded that the biggest challenge while dealing with a product targeting the lower and the lower middle class is
