Caselet based DI

Directions: Answer the questions based on the information given below.

There was a survey conducted about four basketball players. The survey included
data of about eight years of records of these players, including the total number
of shots taken by them.

Brian threw (P) shots out of which only (Q) % were a basket, which was 68 less
than the number of shots taken by Brandon that missed the basket, which in turn
was (R). (R) is 40% more than the total shots taken by Brandon that were a
basket. Total number of shots taken by Brandon is 384 which were (T) times of
that by Brian. Average number of shots taken by Brandon and Bryce together is
342 while number of total shots taken by Brampton is 48 less than total shots
taken by Bryce. Out of total number of shots taken by Brampton, (S) were baskets
while 83.33% missed the basket. Total shots taken by Brian and Brampton that
missed the basket are 294.

Note: Total number of shots taken is a sum of number of shots that were a basket
and number of shots that missed the basket.

Solution:

Hint: In a Caselet DI always try to note the exact given values first and then
solve according to clues given that are related to these values (if any).

In this question direct values given are,

Shots taken by Brandon = 384

Shots taken by Bryce = (342*2) – 384 = 684-384 = 300

Shots taken by Brampton = 300-48 = 252

Shots missed the basket by Brampton = 252*83.33% = 210

(S) = shots that were a basket for Brampton = 252-210 = 42

Shots missed the basket by Brian = 294-210 = 84

Shots that hit the basket: Shots that missed the basket (for Brandon) = 5:7

So, 5u +7u = 384

12u = 384

1u = 32

So, shots that were a basket for Brandon = 5*32 = 160

& shots that missed the basket for Brandon = (R) = 7*32 = 224

Now, shots that were a basket for Brian = 224-68 = 156

Total shots by Brian = (P) = 156+84 = 240

(Q) % = [156/240] *100 = 65%

(T) = [384/240] = 1.6

Player Total Shots Baskets Made Baskets Missed

Brian 240 156 84

Brandon 384 160 224

Bryce 300 - -

Brampton 252 42 210

Q1. P: R = 240:224 = 15:14

Q2. Required % = [(84-42)/42]*100 = 100%

Q3. Baskets by Bryce = R + 16 = 224 + 36 = 240

Basket missed = 300-240 = 40

% missed = 40/300% = 13.33%

Q4. X2 – (2.5T) X -96 = 0

X2 – (2.5*1.6) X -96 = 0

X2 – 4X -96 = 0

(x-12) (x+8) = 0

X = 12, -8

Sum = 12+ (-8) = 4

Q5. Shots Taken by Ben = 300*0.80 = 240

Shots that were a basket by Ben = 156*1.25 = 195

So, Shots that were a Basket by Ben = 240-195 = 45

Solutions:

Formulas required in this DI set:

Perimeter of a square = 4*(Length of side)

Cost Price = Selling Price – Profit

Selling Price = Marked Price – Discount

Profit % = [(Selling Price – Cost Price)/Cost price] %

Discount % = [(Marked Price – Selling Price)/Marked price] %

For Sheet A:

Ratio of sides of P and Q = 7:9

Difference = 2u = 24

= 1u = 12

Side length for P = 7*12 = 84

for Q = 9*12 = 108

Perimeter (which is equal to marked price) for P = 4*84 = 336

for Q = 4*108 = 432

Selling Price for P = Marked Price – Discount = 336-120 = 216

Selling Price for Q = Marked Price – Discount = 432-150 = 282

Cost Price for P = Selling Price – Profit = 216-100 = 116

Cost Price for Q = Selling Price – Profit = 282-130 = 152

E 1030 1140 1300

Q1. For sheets A and C of seller P

When there is no discount then Marked Price is the Selling price

Total Selling Price without Discount = 336+1848 = 2184

Total Selling Price with Discount = 216+1648 = 1864

Total Cost Price = 116+1398 = 1514

Difference in Profit % = [(2184-1514)/1514] % - [(1864-1514)/1514] %

= 44.25-23.11 = 21.14

Q2. Total Cost price of all sheets of

P = 116+184+1398+212+1330 = 3240

Q = 152+436+1734+506+1030 = 3858

Required % = [(3858-3240)/3858]* 100 = 618*100/3858 = 16.01% = 16%

Q3. For sheet D

When length of side is decrease, new length for

P = 128*0.75 = 96

Q = 224*7/8 = 196

New marked price for P = 96*4 = 384, For Q = 196*4 = 784

New selling price for P = 384-160 = 224, for Q = 784-200 = 584

Required Difference = 584-224 = 360

Q4. Average of original cost price of sheet E for P and Q = (1330+1030)/2 = 2360/2

Average of new cost price of sheet E for P and Q = (1330-250+1030-260)/2 =

1850/2

Required % = (1850/2) / (2360/2) = 185/236 = 78% (aprox)

Q5. Required ratio = (1330+1398+212) : (506+152+436) = 2940:1094 = 1470:547

Solutions:

Q1. Quantity I

1 hour of work of leak (without tap) = 1/16

1 hour of work of leak (with tap) = 1/24

1 hour of work of tap = 1/16 – 1/24 = 1/48

Hence, the tank can be filled by the tap in 48 hours

Capacity of tank = 48 * 30L = 1440L

Quantity II

Let the conical tank have ‘a’ L of wine

So, cylindrical tank will have = ‘a+700’

Now,

(a-300)*2 = (a+700-300)

2a – 600 = a + 400

A = 1000 L

Q1>Q2

Q2. Quantity I

Time taken to complete one round by:

P = 144/6 = 24 minutes

Q = 144/9 = 16 minutes

R = 144/18 = 8 minutes

So, required time = LCM of 24, 16 and 8 = 48 minutes

Quantity II

Distance covered in 3 hours and 36 minutes [3(3/5) hours] = 5 *18/5 = 18 km

So, time taken at 24 km/hr = [18/24] * 60 = 45 minutes

Q1>Q2

Q3. Let the Father’s present age be ‘F’ years and Son’s present age be ‘S’ years.

Now, given

F-7 = 5(S-7)

F - 5S = -28

3S – 5S = -28

S = 14

So, Rate of interest = 14 * 50% = 7%

Interest accrued after % years = 36000*5*7% = Rs. 12,600

Q4. Given

P(A) = 3/7 and P(B) = 4/11

We know, P(A) +P(B) + P(C) = 1

So, P(C) = 1 – [3/7]-[4/11] = 1-[61/77] = 16/77

Q5.

Let the CP of each article be Rs ’x, then Total Sales

1.2x + [1.2x + 110] = 1.25(x+x)

2.4x + 110 = 2.5x

x = Rs. 1100

Only option C fits.

Q3.

Eq 1: 21x – 55 = 85-7x

28x = 140

X=5

Eq 2: (y+194)1/2 – (64)1/2 = (36)1/2

(y+194)1/2 = 6+8 = 14

(y+194) = 196

Y=2
X>Y

Q4. X= 24, 9

Y= 13, 15
So, no relation can be established

Q5. X= 951/62
Y= 515/62
So, 𝑥 > 𝑦

Answers:

1. C
2. D
3. B
4. D
5. B

Solutions:

Q1.

Z-4 = 50

Z+6 = 60

1.5Z-6 = 75

1.5Z+14 = 95

Pattern formed:

50+10 = 60

60+15 =75

75+20 = 95

95+25 = 120

Q2. We call the pattern seen in this series as FIP (Frequently used pattern) as it is
one of the most asked pattern in banking exams, i.e. Difference between terms
follows the pattern of product of consecutive integers.

21 + (4*5) = 41
41 + (5*6) = 71

71 + (6*7) = 113

113 + (7*8) = 169

169 + (8*9) = 241

Similarly, the new formed series will be

63, 83(a), 113(p), 155(z), 211(r), 283

Only option A & C are correct as

[(63+83)*0.5]+40 = 73+40 = 113

Q3. The pattern followed here is:

32*2.5 = 80

80*2.5 = 200

200*2.5 = 500

Doing so we will see, the 9th term is = 19531.25 * 2.5 = 48828.125

Q(4-5).

Series I:

18 × 2 – 8 = 28

28 × 2 – 16 = 40

40 × 2 – 24 = 56

56 × 2 – 32 = 80

80 × 2 – 40 = 120 (X)
Series II:

8² + 28 = 92

10² – 15 = 85

12² + 28 = 172

14² – 15 = 181

16² + 28 = 284

18² – 15 = 309 (Y)

Series III:

3³ + 2 = 29

4³ + 3 = 67

5³ + 5 = 125

6³ + 7 = 223

7³ + 11 = 354

8³ + 13 = 525 (Z)

Q4. A series that follows the pattern of series I starting with 32 will be

32, 56, 96, 168, 304

Sum of 1st five terms = 656

Q5. (Z+Y) – (Y+X) = Z – X = 525-120 = 405
