A few salesmen are employed to sell a product called TRICCEK among households in various housing complexes. On each day, a salesman is assigned to visit one housing complex. Once a salesman enters a housing complex, he can meet any number of households in the time available. However, if a household makes a complaint against the salesman, then he must leave the housing complex immediately and cannot meet any other household on that day. A household may buy any number of TRICCEK items or may not buy any item. The salesman needs to record the total number of TRICCEK items sold as well as the number of households met in each day. The success rate of a salesman for a day is defined as the ratio of the number of items sold to the number of households met on that day. Some details about the performances of three salesmen - Tohri, Hokli and Lahur, on two particular days are given 
below.
  1. Over the two days, all three of them met the same total number of households, and each of them sold a total of 100 items.
  2. On both days, Lahur met the same number of households and sold the same number of items.
  3. Hokli could not sell any item on the second day because the first household he met on that day complained against him.
  4. Tohri met 30 more households on the second day than on the first day. 5. Tohri’s success rate was twice that of Lahur’s on the first day, and it was 75% of Lahur’s on the second day.

    Analysis of Tohri's sales performance:

    To find out how many TRICCEK items were sold by Tohri on the first day, we need to analyze the given information carefully.

    - Total items sold: Since each of the three salesmen sold a total of 100 items over the two days, Tohri must have sold 50 items on each day (100 items in total).

    - Households met: Tohri met 30 more households on the second day than on the first day. Let's assume he met x households on the first day. Therefore, on the second day, he met (x+30) households.

    - Success rate: Tohri's success rate was twice that of Lahur's on the first day, and it was 75% of Lahur's on the second day. Let's assume Tohri's success rate on the first day was 2a (where a is Lahur's success rate on the first day) and on the second day was 0.75a.

    - Calculation:
    - On the first day, Tohri sold 50 items meeting x households with a success rate of 2a.
    - On the second day, Tohri sold 50 items meeting (x+30) households with a success rate of 0.75a.

    Now, we can set up two equations using the above information and solve for x (number of households met by Tohri on the first day) and a (Lahur's success rate on the first day).

    By solving these equations, we find that Tohri met 40 households on the first day and sold 40 items.

    Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questionsAs opera becomes more popular in America the scarcity of theaters and the unconscionably costly logistics of the lyric stage make it difficult to meet the demand. Many a good—sized and well—to—do community would be able to operate and maintain a modest but live opera theater, but are unwilling to do so because it would unfavorably compare with the splendors of New York's Metropolitan Opera.It is not realized that the rich operatic culture of Italy and Germany is mainly due to their many small municipal theaters which alternate repertory theater with opera. These circumstances have led to concert or "semi—staged " performances which, formerly an exception, now occupy entire companies expressly formed for this purpose. However, stage music, real operatic music, often fails to exert its full power in the frozen formality of the concert platform. In a true opera the particular charm and power of the music does not come through without staging and acting, for gesture is an expression of feeling, and the decor and costumes summarize the external aspects, providing a vision of the whole action. Both are to a considerable degree determined by the music, but they also complement it.An opera is a play in music. If it is presented in concert version, then it should not offer a half—hearted gesture towards the theater. Indeed, the "partly staged " performances are even more unsatisfactory than the concert variety. The tenor is all excited, but you do not know why; the soprano is obviously dying, but she remains on her feet. Nor does the stationary chorus, its members turning the pages of their scores without looking at the person they sing about, contribute to the illusion.Different aesthetic laws of governance apply to concert music and theatrical music, for they are incongruous worlds calling for an entirely different sort of imagination from both performers and audience. Opera is theater, the most involved, elaborate, and exciting form of theater. The Italian term "opera " is far more inclusive than its English interpretation, for it embraces not only the musical score but the whole theater, "the work. "Without the stage, paucity of musical ideas immediately becomes evident, often painfully so. Take for instance Richard Strauss, some of whose late operas are being performed in concerts. Strauss was a composer who knew every facet of the lyric stage as few have known it, yet what can be quite pleasant on the stage, even if it is not particularly inventive, appears bare and contrived when removed from its natural habitat.Some may say that the end justifies the means. I can see merit in the concert performance of an opera which otherwise could not hope to be heard, or of one deficient in true theatrical qualities yet of genuine musical value. But neither Strauss, nor Bellini, nor Donizetti qualifies for such a role. Even if we forget the vital function of staging, it is practically impossible, for purely musical reasons, to present such a work on the concert platform. The large orchestra belongs in the pit; when placed on the stage, together with the singers, it makes their position almost untenable, even when led by an experienced opera conductor.Q. The author discusses "opera " in a very particular way in the fourth paragraph of the passage. Implicit in the author's discussion of the term is the idea that

    Directions: The following question is based on the given set of conditions. Choose the response that most accurately and completely answers the question.Seven bands were scheduled to perform during a week-long music festival at XLRI. The festival began on a Monday evening and ended on the Sunday evening. Each day, only one band performed. Each band performed only once. The organising committee had the task of scheduling the performances of the seven bands - Cactus, Axis, Enigma, Boom, Fish, Dhoom and Bodhi Tree. The festival schedule followed the following conditions:The performance of Bodhi Tree, the home band of XLRI, did not precede the performance of any other band. Among the visiting bands, three were rock bands and the other three were fusion bands. All three bands of the same genre were not allowed to perform consecutively. Boom, which was a rock band, refused to perform immediately before or after Fish. Meet, who was a lead vocalist with a rock band, refused to perform after Angelina. Angelina, the only female lead vocalist in the music fest besides Bony, was with the band Enigma. Angelina refused to perform after Thursday citing personal reasons. Ali, who was the lead vocalist of a rock band, was not with the band Dhoom, and did not perform on Saturday. Sid, the lead vocalist of the rock band Cactus, could perform only on Monday. Rupam, the only male among the lead vocalists of the fusion bands, was with Fish and performed on Wednesday. None of the bands performed in absence of their lead vocalist.Q.How many times from Monday to Saturday did the fusion band and rock band perform consecutively? Correct answer is '3'.
