11. We need to find the minimum and maximum possible values Solutions for questions 17 to 20:
of students in school C who prefer non-vegetarian food and
prefer watching Football. 17. According to the question, all the LOCAL and STD calls have
Total students = 400 to be made such that the amount paid should be minimum.
Students who prefer non vegetarian food = 140 If customers have the choice from all the four companies,
Students who prefer watching Football = 208 then they will go for the service which is cheapest.
The minimum and maximum possible values are 0 and 140. For LOCAL calls, DATACOM is the cheapest but from
So both 156 and 194 are not possible. DATACOM only 2.75 lakh calls can be made.
Choice (D) Similarly cheapest STD charges are when using AIRSIM and
2.0 lakh calls can be made from AIRSIM and the rest
Solutions for questions 12 to 16: 1.5 lakh calls should be made using the second cheapest
service (APPLE).
Let the total gross income of all the five persons be100 x and So, total amount spent on STD calls is
the total tax paid by all the five persons be 100 y. 2 × 3.25 + 1.5 × 3.5 = `11.75 lakh.
∴ A’s income is 12x and he pays a tax of 9.33 y. Total amount spent on local calls is
B’s income is 15x and he pays a tax of 13.33 y. 2.0 × 2.75 2.25 × 2.5 2.5 × 1.25
C’s income is 18x and he pays a tax of 17.33 y. + + = 5.5 + 2.5(3.5)
DATACOM APPLE AIRCOMM
= 5.5 + 8.75 = 14.25
∴ For an income of 3x (15 − 12, 18 − 15), one has to pay a
Therefore total amount spent = 11.75 + 14.25 = `26 lakh.
tax of 4y(13.33 − 9.33, 17.33 − 13.33).
Choice (C)
That is, for an income of 1x, one has to pay a tax of
1.33 y.
18. When the charges of the companies are compared the
But for an income of 12x, A is paying a tax of only 9.33 y.
difference between the ISD charges is more compared to the
difference in the LOCAL charges. Therefore, ISD calls
∴ A’s income consists of some part which is taxed at 20% should be made first from the cheapest service.
and some part which is taxed at 10%, i.e. up to some point, 1 lakh ISD calls should be from APPLE
for an income of 1x, one has to pay a tax of .667y and beyond
Amount for ISD charges = 1 × 6 = 6 lakh
that for an income of 1x, one has to pay a tax of 1.33 y. Since
For Local calls: 2.75 lakhs calls can be made from
for an income of 12x, one has to pay only 9.33 y as tax, the
DATACOM at the rate of 2 rupees. 3 lakh calls can be made
only possibility is that for the first 10x, one pays a tax at 10%
from APPLE at the rate of 2.25 rupees. The remaining
(.667y) and for the remaining 2x, one pays a tax at 20% (1.33 y).
0.75 lakhs calls can be made from either of AIRSIM or
As for an income up to `10,000, the tax rate is 10%.
AIRCOMM at the rate of 2.5 rupees.
10x = 10000 or x = 1000. Total charges for LOCAL calls
∴ The income and the taxes paid by different persons are = 2 × 2.75 + 3 × 2.25 + 0.75 × 2.5 ≅ 14.13 lakh.
as follows:
Total (LOCAL+ ISD) charges = (14.13 + 6) lakh
= 20.13 lakh. Choice (B)

14. To find the least savings of C, we have to find the maximum New ISD charges per unit call for various companies
possible expense for person C. It is given that for each AIRCOMM = 10.33, AIRSIM = 13.5, DATACOM = 10.5,
person, the expenses were less than his net income. APPLE = 10
Comparing the net income and the pie chart for breakup of The second cheapest ISD charges are for AIRCOMM
expenses, we can find that the maximum expense of person Choice (A)
A can be `10,600, in which case the expenses of C would
be `13,250. As the maximum expense of C is `13,250, his 20. Revenue of AIRCOMM = 2.5 × 1.25 + 4.5 × 0.7 + 8.0 × 0.3
savings would be at least 15,400 − 13,250 = `2,150. = 8.68 lakhs
Choice (A) Revenue of AIRSIM = 2.5 × 1.5 + 3.25 × 0.4 + 9.5 × 0.1
= 6 lakhs
15. The minimum savings of C is `2,150 (from the previous Revenue of DATACOM = 2.0 × 1.75 + 3.5 × 0.8 + 6.5 × 0.2
question) and the savings of persons B, D and E would = 7.6 lakhs
definitely be more than this. Choice (B) Revenue of APPLE = 2.25 × 2.0 + 3.5 × 1.6 + 6.0 × 0.4
= 12.5 lakhs
16. As the tax rate is 10% till any amount up to `10,000 and The company with the highest sales revenue is APPLE.
20% for an amount more than `10,000, then for all persons Choice (D)
with income less than `20,000, the net income would be
more than 85% of the gross income. Choice (D)
