In a bustling city known for its thriving tech industry, three talented sales professionals, Alex, Emma, and Liam, were entrusted with the task of promoting an innovative software solution called LinkPro to various businesses. Each week, they were assigned different territories to cover. Once a sales professional enters in a particular territory, he can meet any number of businessmen and any businessman can buy any number of software or may not buy any software. The success rate of a sales professional for a week is defined as the ratio of the number of software sold to the number of businessmen visited in that week. Some details about their performances are given below:
(i) Over the course of two weeks, the number of businessmen visited by Alex, Emma and Liam are in the ratio 2 : 5 : 4, however each of them sold 80 software.
(ii) Emma's success rate for week-1 is 2/3 but Alex's success rate for the same week is 7/3, however altogether, all the three visited 81 businessmen in week-1.
(iii) Emma sold 56 software in week-2.
(iv) Alex visited 10 more businessmen in week-2 than week-1. However all the sales professionals visited more number of businessmen in week-2 as compared to week-1.
(v) Liam visited the number of businessmen in week-1 and week-2 in the ratio 3 : 5 and sold software in the ratio 1 : 3.

Analysis:
Given information:
- Alex, Emma, and Liam sold 80 software each over two weeks.
- The number of businessmen visited by Alex, Emma, and Liam are in the ratio 2:5:4.
- Emma's success rate for week-1 is 2/3 and Alex's success rate for the same week is 7/3.
- All three visited 81 businessmen in week-1.
- Emma sold 56 software in week-2.
- Alex visited 10 more businessmen in week-2 than week-1.
- All the sales professionals visited more businessmen in week-2 compared to week-1.
- Liam visited businessmen in week-1 and week-2 in the ratio 3:5 and sold software in the ratio 1:3.

Solution:
1. Calculate the number of businessmen visited by each:
- Let the number of businessmen visited by Alex, Emma, and Liam be 2x, 5x, and 4x respectively.
- Total businessmen visited in week-1 = 2x + 5x + 4x = 11x = 81
- x = 81/11 = 7
2. Determine the number of software sold by each in week-1:
- Alex sold 80 software in two weeks, so in week-1, he sold 80 - 56 = 24 software.
- Emma sold 80 software in two weeks, so in week-1, she sold 56 software.
- Liam sold 80 software in two weeks, so in week-1, he sold 80 - 24 - 56 = 0 software.
3. Find the number of businessmen visited by Alex in week-2:
- Since Alex visited 10 more businessmen in week-2 than week-1, the number of businessmen visited by Alex in week-2 = 2(7) + 10 = 24
4. Calculate the number of software sold by Alex in week-2:
- Alex's success rate for week-1 is 7/3, so the number of software sold by Alex in week-1 = (7/3) * 24 = 56
- Total software sold by Alex in two weeks = 80, so the number of software sold by Alex in week-2 = 80 - 56 = 24
Therefore, Alex sold 24 software in week-2.

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the q...
Over the course of two weeks, the number of businessmen visited by Alex, Emma and Liam are in the ratio 2 : 5 : 4, however each of them sold 80 software.
Let number of businessmen visited by Alex = 2x,
Number of businessmen visited by Emma = 5x,
Number of businessmen visited by Liam = 4x

Liam visited the number of businessmen in week-1 and week-2 in the ratio 3 : 5 and sold software in the ratio 1 : 3.
Software sold by Liam in week-1 = × 80 = 20
Software sold by Liam in week-2 = × 80 = 60
Number of businessmen visited by Liam in week-1 = × 4x = 
Number of businessmen visited by Liam in week-2 = × 4x =

Emma sold 56 Software in week-2.
So, the number of software sold by Emma in week-1 = 80 – 56 = 24

Alex visited 10 more businessmen in week-2 than week-1.
Let the number of businessmen visited by Alex in week-1 and week-2 be 'a' and 'b', respectively.
b – a = 10
b + a = 2x
On solving, we get
b = x + 5,
And a = x – 5

Success rate of Emma for week -1 is 2/3.
Let number of businessmen visited by Emma in week-1 = t
So, 
t = 36

Altogether they visited 81 businessmen in week-1.
So,( x – 5) + 36 +  = 81
On solving, we get
x = 20

Success rate of Alex for week-1 is 7/3.
Let the number of software sold by Alex in week -1 is y.
So, 
y = 35
Therefore, the final table will be:

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given More and more companies, government agencies, educational institutions and philanthropic organisations are today in the grip of a new phenomenon: ‘metric fixation’. The key components of metric fixation are the belief that it is possible - and desirable - to replace professional judgment (acquired through personal experience and talent) with numerical indicators of comparative performance based upon standardised data (metrics); and that the best way to motivate people within these organisations is by attaching rewards and penalties to their measured performance.The rewards can be monetary, in the form of pay for performance, say, or reputational, in the form of college rankings, hospital ratings, surgical report cards and so on. But the most dramatic negative effect of metric fixation is its propensity to incentivise gaming: that is, encouraging professionals to maximise the metrics in ways that are at odds with the larger purpose of the organisation. If the rate of major crimes in a district becomes the metric according to which police officers are promoted, then some officers will respond by simply not recording crimes or downgrading them from major offences to misdemeanors. Or take the case of surgeons. When the metrics of success and failure are made public - affecting their reputation and income - some surgeons will improve their metric scores by refusing to operate on patients with more complex problems, whose surgical outcomes are more likely to be negative. Who suffers? The patients who don’t get operated upon.When reward is tied to measured performance, metric fixation invites just this sort of gaming. But metric fixation also leads to a variety of more subtle unintended negative consequences. These include goal displacement, which comes in many varieties: when performance is judged by a few measures, and the stakes are high (keeping one’s job, getting a pay rise or raising the stock price at the time that stock options are veste d), people focus on satisfying those measures - often at the expense of other, more important organisational goals that are not measured. The best-known example is ‘teaching to the test’, a widespread phenomenon that has distorted primary and secondary education in the United States since the adoption of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.Short-termism is another negative. Measured performance encourages what the US sociologist Robert K Merton in 1936 called ‘the imperious immediacy of interests … where the actor’s paramount concern with the foreseen immediate consequences excludes consideration of further or other consequences’. In short, advancing short-term goals at the expense of long-range considerations. This problem is endemic to publicly traded corporations that sacrifice long-term research and development, and the development of their staff, to the perceived imperatives of the quarterly report.Q. Of the following, which would have added the least depth to the author’s argument?
