Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the question that follows.
The famous VIP club of a particular city has five doors. The manager of club has hired some bouncers in order to prevent any type of chaos inside the club. All the bouncers are always present inside the club, unless ordered to move to a door. A competitor club's manager hired some bouncers to damage the club property and enter inside. The bouncers of the competitor club are gathered outside the club, sitting inside buses which are parked in the given pattern, M–1 to M–7. Each bus has a certain number of bouncers. The bouncers from a given bus can attack only some of the doors of the club, as indicated in the diagram below. However, all the bouncers from a single bus of the competitor club need not necessarily attack the same door. The manager has come to know about this and is planning to send his bouncers to the doors.
The following diagram shows the club doors (B–1 to B–5) and the competitor club's buses with bouncers (M–1 to M–7). The solid lines in the figure represent the respective club doors to which the bouncers can be deployed from the club. The dotted lines from each competitor bus represent the doors that the bouncers from that competitor club can attack. The numbers inside each competitor bus represent the number of bouncers inside the bus.

Assume that all the competitor club bouncers attack the club doors that they are assigned to at the same time and that each competitor club bouncer attacks exactly one club door. Also, a higher numerical strength in terms of bouncers will assure victory to any side in such a manner that, if say, 10 competitor club bouncers attack a club door with 11 bouncers, all the competitor club bouncers will be beaten and the club door will remain safe, but with only 1 bouncer remaining. If the number of competitor club bouncers attacking a club door is equal to the number of bouncers at the club door, all the bouncers belonging to both the sides will be beaten, but the club door will remain safe. In a similar manner, if the number of competitor club bouncers attacking is in excess of the number of bouncers, the club door will be destroyed, but with only the excess number of competitor club bouncers remaining not beaten.
If it is known that the competitor club is planning to send, from each bus, an equal number of bouncers to all the possible club doors, what is the minimum number of bouncers that will be injured during the attack if no club door should be destroyed?
  • a)
    500
  • b)
    550
  • c)
    618
  • d)
    625
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Directions: The passage below is followed by a question based on its content. Answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.Competitive intelligence, or CI for short, is all about collating information about your competitors, analyzing it and using the results to formulate plans and strategies to gain the competitive edge in the marketplace. Sadly, many people confuse this with spying or other cloak and dagger activities. Nothing could be further from the truth. Competitive intelligence uses legal and ethical methods in obtaining the information - anything else is not acceptable. Data must come from the public domain but this is not limited to published articles alone, indeed much information can come from interviewing people with experience or knowledge of the target companies. What is not acceptable is bugging, overhearing conversations behind closed doors or even attempting to gain trade secrets. Coca-Colas secret formula for example is a trade secret and no faithful CI practitioner would over attempt to discover it, but then Pepsi does not need to know what the formula is in order to compete effectively. CI practitioners abide by a strict code of ethics and these are far tighter than any legal constraints. If a method sounds in the least bit shady its not one that they would adopt.So where does the information come from? Information becomes available for a large number of reasons: financial information due to legal obligations and (in the case of public limited companies) duty to shareholders; product information to promote the company etc. This data emerges in from the annual reports, marketing material, applications for patents the list goes on. You must first have an understanding of why information becomes available, then think about where it might be obtained and then you can begin to work out how to obtain it. Its important to realize that information is very rarely held by only a few people. Normally the same information will be shared across a great number of sources and/or people. This is called the "information chain", and understanding it and following it is vital to the CI process. For example competitor prices are not only known by the company doing the selling but by the customers that have bought the product or service, so instead of trying to get the information from the competitor, try to get it from those that the competitor has already given it to! The information chain can be quite complex. Usually, actually obtaining the information is easy, it is thinking about where to get it from that is the difficult part. This can involve deep discussions in house and lateral thinking is a prized asset to have in this industry.Often the person who holds the information seems quite far removed from the heart of the matter - a company security guard for example. It is such people who not only have the knowledge, but they dont know how valuable it is and therefore dont mind divulging it. Interviewing to obtain information is a skill in itself, being too keen makes an interviewee very defensive and careful about their answers. One approach is to treat the most important question as the least significant; a question that it seems you wouldnt be bothered if it werent answered. Long pauses also yield fantastic results as people dont like silence and will fill in the gap, though this requires much self-constraint.Not all information comes from first party (or primary) sources, Indeed, not only is it sometimes quicker and easier to obtain from published (or secondary) sources where possible but it is also essential to conduct such searches before attempting to interview for further information. Company reports hold huge amounts of financial information about a company and they are available to anyone, for a small fee. But this is raw data and the accountants who drew them up usually hide sensitive information very well. A good CI practitioner is able to dissect these accounts, sorting through all the available data to produce some valuable analysed results. The rule of thumb is to start at the back and work to the front since much of the interesting data is in the "œnotes" section.Results dont always present themselves as a single definitive answer that is available from one or more sources (but always the same answer). Rather like a jigsaw puzzle, pieces must be gathered together, inspected to see where they each fit, until finally the bigger picture is revealed.Competitive intelligence is at its best when the results are used proactively. For example before committing large amounts of capital to a new development or research project, companies engage CI professionals. Being told that they will be beaten to market since the competitors are much further down the line, can save companies small fortunes and divert efforts to areas where they will be first to market.In conclusion there is not much information on a competitor that cant be obtained or calculated. Companies seem quite happy to spend many thousands of pounds "œpoaching" people from their competitors to gain information (which in itself can raise legal issues). They are then committed to employing that person in future years thereby increasing the expense year on year after the initial value of the information gained has worn off. Companies seem unaware that for a fraction of the price they could have had the same information supplied using methods that are both legal and ethical competitive intelligence.Q.Which of the following are prerequisites for a career in CI gathering?

In a similar manner, if the number of competitor club bouncers attacking is in excess of the number of bouncers, the club door will be destroyed, but with only the excess number of competitor club bouncers remaining not beaten.If it is known that the competitor club is planning to send, from each bus, an equal number of bouncers to all the possible club doors, what is the minimum number of bouncers that will be injured during the attack if no club door should be destroyed?a)500b)550c)618d)625Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?, a detailed solution for Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the question that follows.The famous VIP club of a particular city has five doors. The manager of club has hired some bouncers in order to prevent any type of chaos inside the club. All the bouncers are always present inside the club, unless ordered to move to a door. A competitor clubs manager hired some bouncers to damage the club property and enter inside. The bouncers of the competitor club are gathered outside the club, sitting inside buses which are parked in the given pattern, M–1 to M–7. Each bus has a certain number of bouncers. The bouncers from a given bus can attack only some of the doors of the club, as indicated in the diagram below. However, all the bouncers from a single bus of the competitor club need not necessarily attack the same door. The manager has come to know about this and is planning to send his bouncers to the doors.The following diagram shows the club doors (B–1 to B–5) and the competitor clubs buses with bouncers (M–1 to M–7). The solid lines in the figure represent the respective club doors to which the bouncers can be deployed from the club. The dotted lines from each competitor bus represent the doors that the bouncers from that competitor club can attack. The numbers inside each competitor bus represent the number of bouncers inside the bus.Assume that all the competitor club bouncers attack the club doors that they are assigned to at the same time and that each competitor club bouncer attacks exactly one club door. Also, a higher numerical strength in terms of bouncers will assure victory to any side in such a manner that, if say, 10 competitor club bouncers attack a club door with 11 bouncers, all the competitor club bouncers will be beaten and the club door will remain safe, but with only 1 bouncer remaining.
