    An air conditioner (AC) company has four dealers – D1, D2, D3 and D4 in a city. It is evaluating sales performances of these dealers. The company sells two variants of ACs – Window and Split. Both these variants can be either Inverter type or Non-inverter type. It is known that of the total number of ACs sold in the city, 25% were of Window variant, while the rest were of Split variant. Among the Inverter ACs sold, 20% were of Window variant.

    The following information is also known: 1. Every dealer sold at least two window ACs.
    2. D1 sold 13 inverter ACs, while D3 sold 5 Non-inverter ACs. 3. A total of six Window Non-inverter ACs and 36 Split Inverter ACs were sold in the city.4. The number of Split ACs sold by D1 was twice the number of Window ACs sold by it.5. D3 and D4 sold an equal number of Window ACs and this number was one-third of the number of similar ACs sold by D2.6. D2 and D3 were the only ones who sold Window Non-inverter ACs. The number of these ACs sold by D2 was twice the number of these ACs sold by D3.
    7. D3 and D4 sold an equal number of Split Inverter ACs. This number was half the number of similar ACs sold by D2.

    In a coaching class, some students register online, and some others register offline. No student registers both online and offline; hence the total registration number is the sum of online and offline registrations. The following facts and table pertain to these registration numbers for the five months – January to May of 2023. The table shows the minimum, maximum, median registration numbers of these five months, separately for online, offline and total number of registrations. The following additional facts are known.

    1. In every month, both online and offline registration numbers were multiples of 10.
    2. In January, the number of offline registrations was twice that of online registrations.
    3. In April, the number of online registrations was twice that of offline registrations.
    4. The number of online registrations in March was the same as the number of offline registrations in February.
    5. The number of online registrations was the largest in May.

    There are only three female students – Amala, Koli and Rini – and only three male students – Biman, Mathew and Shyamal – in a course. The course has two evaluation components, a project and a test. The aggregate score in the course is a weighted average of the two components, with the weights being positive and adding to 1.

    The projects are done in groups of two, with each group consisting of a female and a male student. Both the group members obtain the same score in the project.

    The following additional facts are known about the scores in the project and the test.

    1. The minimum, maximum and the average of both project and test scores were identical – 40, 80 and 60, respectively.
    2. The test scores of the students were all multiples of 10; four of them were distinct and the remaining two were equal to the average test scores.
    3. Amala's score in the project was double that of Koli in the same, but Koli scored 20 more than Amala in the test. Yet Amala had the highest aggregate score.
    4. Shyamal scored the second highest in the test. He scored two more than Koli, but two less than Amala in the aggregate.
    5. Biman scored the second lowest in the test and the lowest in the aggregate.
    6. Mathew scored more than Rini in the project, but less than her in the test.

    A visa processing office (VPO) accepts visa applications in four categories – US, UK, Schengen, and Others. The applications are scheduled for processing in twenty 15-minute slots starting at 9:00 am and ending at 2:00 pm. Ten applications are scheduled in each slot.


    There are ten counters in the office, four dedicated to US applications, and two each for UK applications, Schengen applications and Others applications. Applicants are called in for processing sequentially on a first-come-first-served basis whenever a counter gets freed for their category. The processing time for an application is the same within each category. But it may vary across the categories. Each US and UK application requires 10 minutes of processing time. Depending on the number of applications in a category and time required to process an application for that category, it is possible that an applicant for a slot may be processed later.


    On a particular day, Ira, Vijay and Nandini were scheduled for Schengen visa processing in that order. They had a 9:15 am slot but entered the VPO at 9:20 am. When they entered the office, exactly six out of the ten counters were either processing applications, or had finished processing one and ready to start processing the next.


    Mahira and Osman were scheduled in the 9:30 am slot on that day for visa processing in the Others category.
    The following additional information is known about that day.1. All slots were full.2. The number of US applications was the same in all the slots. The same was true for the other three categories.3. 50% of the applications were US applications.4. All applicants except Ira, Vijay and Nandini arrived on time.5. Vijay was called to a counter at 9:25 am.

    501.

    How many UK applications were scheduled on that day?

     

    Answer : A

    Video Explanation

    Explanatory Answer

    There are 20 slots of 15 minutes each from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. There are ten counters in the VPO.
    From the given information and condition (1), Total number of applications scheduled = 10 × 20 = 200
    From condition (3), Number of US applications = 100. Number of application for rest 3 categories = 100.
    From condition (2), Number of US applications for each slot = 100/20 = 5. Similarly, number of applications of rest 3 categories for each slot = 100/20 = 5.
    The processing time for an application is the same within each category. But it may vary across the categories.
    Depending on the number of applications in a category and time required to process an application for that category,
    it is possible that an applicant for a slot may be processed later.
    The information can be shown in the table below. 

        

    Step 2:


    On a particular day, Ira, Vijay and Nandini were scheduled for Schengen visa processing in that order. They had a 9:15
    AM slot but entered the VPO at 9:20 AM i.e., they had delayed by 5 minutes.
    So at least 3 people were scheduled for each slot for a Schengen visa.
    Mahira and Osman were scheduled in the 9:30 AM slot on that day for visa processing in the Others category

    So at least 2 people were scheduled for each slot for an Others category visa.
    Total applications on that day = 200
    US applications = 100
    So there are 5 applications of US out of total 10 in one time slot.
    There were 3 applications of Schengen and 2 applications of Others in 1 time slot.
    Hence, there are 0 applications of UK in one time slot. 

    502.

    What is the maximum possible value of the total time (in minutes, nearest to its integer value) required to process all applications in the Others category on that day?

     

    Answer : 200

    Video Explanation

    Explanatory Answer

    There are 20 slots of 15 minutes each from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. There are ten counters in the VPO.
    From the given information and condition (1), Total number of applications scheduled = 10 × 20 = 200
    From condition (3), Number of US applications = 100. Number of application for rest 3 categories = 100.
    From condition (2), Number of US applications for each slot = 100/20 = 5. Similarly, number of applications of rest 3 categories for each slot = 100/20 = 5.
    The processing time for an application is the same within each category. But it may vary across the categories.
    Depending on the number of applications in a category and time required to process an application for that category,
    it is possible that an applicant for a slot may be processed later.
    The information can be shown in the table below. 

        

    Step 2:

    On a particular day, Ira, Vijay and Nandini were scheduled for Schengen visa processing in that order. They had a 9:15
    AM slot but entered the VPO at 9:20 AM i.e., they had delayed by 5 minutes.
    So at least 3 people were scheduled for each slot for a Schengen visa.
    Mahira and Osman were scheduled in the 9:30 AM slot on that day for visa processing in the Others category.
    So at least 2 people were scheduled for each slot for an Others category visa. 

        

    503.

    Which of the following is the closest to the time when Nandini's application process got over?

     
    Option D is the correct answer.

    Video Explanation

    Explanatory Answer

    There are 20 slots of 15 minutes each from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. There are ten counters in the VPO.

    From condition (3), Number of US applications = 100. Number of application for rest 3 categories = 100.
    From condition (2), Number of US applications for each slot = 100/20 = 5. Similarly, number of applications of rest 3 categories for each slot = 100/20 = 5.
    The processing time for an application is the same within each category. But it may vary across the categories.
    Depending on the number of applications in a category and time required to process an application for that category,

    Which of the following statements is false?

     

    Option D is the correct answer.

    Video Explanation

    Explanatory Answer

    There are 20 slots of 15 minutes each from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. There are ten counters in the VPO.
    From the given information and condition (1), Total number of applications scheduled = 10 × 20 = 200
    From condition (3), Number of US applications = 100. Number of application for rest 3 categories = 100.
    From condition (2), Number of US applications for each slot = 100/20 = 5. Similarly, number of applications of rest 3 categories for each slot = 100/20 = 5.
    The processing time for an application is the same within each category. But it may vary across the categories.
    Depending on the number of applications in a category and time required to process an application for that category,
    it is possible that an applicant for a slot may be processed later.
