Using the numbers of different electronic components in PCBs and assemblies, we can see the following
Assembly 1: Uses PCBs 1, 2 and 4
Assembly 2: Uses PCBs 2, 4 and 4
Assembly 3: Uses PCBs 3 and 4
Assembly 4: Uses PCBs 1, 3, 4 and 5
From the options, we can see that if the device contains one PCB2, two PCB3s and four PCB4s, then the
number of diodes will be 63 and the number of transistors will be less than 80. Hence [3].
Solution : Form equations smartly. Get all unknowns in terms of one particular variable. Fill the
table. Whenever they say the values in the table are natural numbers , we have to make use of this
fact and decide on the minimum value of the unknown variable.. ----- Such questions are asked
many times in mocks and have a gud chance of appearing in the real cat.

Solution:
There are 10 wrestlers with average MI of 9, the minimum MI of 8 and the maximum MI of 11. Therefore, the
sum of the MI of the 10 wrestlers is 10 9 = 90. There is at least one wrestler with MI of 8 and there is at least
one wrestler with MI of 11. We can maximize the number of wrestlers having MI of at least 9.5 if we have the
distribution of MI similar to that given below:
8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 11
Therefore, we can have in all 5 wrestlers having MI of at least 9.5
There are 10 wrestlers with average MI of 9.5, the minimum MI of 9 and the maximum MI of
10.5. Therefore the sum of the MI of the 10 wrestlers is 10 9.5 = 95. There is at least one wrestler with MI
of 9 and there is at least one wrestler with MI of 10.5. We can maximize the number of wrestlers having MI of
at least 9.5 if we have the distribution of MI similar to that given below:
9 ,9, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 10.5
Therefore we can have in all 8 wrestlers having MI of at least 9.5
Therefore the required answer is 5 + 8 = 13.
Hence [2]
It can be seen that no women wrestlers having weight of 56 kg or less will have MI of 8 or more. We have to
minimize the number of women wrestlers having weight of 57 kg or more and MI of at least8.
There are 8 wrestlers with average MI of 8, the minimum MI of 6.5 and the maximum MI of 8.5. Therefore the
sum of their MI is 8 8 = 64. There is at least one wrestler with MI of 6.5 and there is at least one wrestler with
MI of 8.5. The sum of the MI of these two wrestlers is 6.5 + 8.5 = 15. The sum of MI of the
remaining 6 wrestlers is 49. We have to minimize the number of wrestlers with MI of at least 8.
If the MI of all the remaining 6 wrestlers is 7.5, we will have accounted for total MI of 6 7.5 = 45 and we have
yet to account for excess MI of 4. In order to ensure that minimum wrestlers have MI of at least 8, we can
distribute the excess MI of 4 among 4 wrestlers. Therefore we have the following distribution:
There are 10 wrestlers with average MI of 9, the minimum MI of 7.5 and the maximum MI of
9.5. Therefore the sum of their MI is 10 9 = 90. There is at least one wrestler with MI of 7.5 and there is at
least one wrestler with MI of 9.5. The sum of the MI of these two wrestlers is 7.5 + 9.5 = 17. The sum of MI of
the remaining 8 wrestlers is 90 17 = 73. We have to minimize the number of wrestlers with MI of at least 8.
If we assign MI of 7.5 to all the remaining 8 wrestlers, we would have accounted for total MI of 8 7.5 = 60.
We have yet to account for the excess MI of 13 among 8 wrestlers. If we assign excess MI of 2 each to 6 of
these 8 wrestlers and excess MI of 1 to one wrestler, we will have the following:
7.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5
