Directions for questions 24 to 26: These questions are
based on the following information.
The Indian rubber industry consists of three types of
manufacturing industries based on the produce namely:
Tyre, non – tyre and SSI products. They use at least one
and at most two inputs among natural rubber (N),
synthetic rubber (S) and reclaimed rubber (R). The
conversion factor (K) for different types of industries viz.
Tyre, non – tyre and SSI is 1000 tyres per MT (input),
2000 pieces per MT (input) and 2 MT per MT (input)
respectively. Further the following information is known.
(1) Each input i.e. N, S and R is allocated to at most two
types of industry.
(2) Only SSI can use any type of input but it prefers
reclaimed rubber over synthetic rubber, which in turn
is preferred over natural rubber.
(3) Synthetic rubber is not used by tyre manufacturing
industries, which has only one input in common with
non – tyre manufacture.
(4) A total of 680 MT was used as inputs together by
the three types of manufactures.
(5) 2,00,000 tyres were manufactured and SSI output
amounted to 160 MT.
24. If 120 MT of reclaimed rubber was available for use,
what can be the input mix of the tyre manufacturers?
(A) 4 parts S, 1 part N
(B) 4 parts N, 1 part S
(C) 4 parts R, 1 part N
(D) 4 parts N, 1 part R
25. If 120 MT of reclaimed rubber, 260 MT of natural
rubber are available and the tyre manufacturers
used four parts of natural rubber and one part of
reclaimed rubber, what is the amount of other input
other than natural rubber of non-tyre manufactures?
(A) 200 MT R (B) 100 MT S
(C) 300 MT R (D) 300 MT S
26. If reclaimed rubber available is 50 MT and synthetic
rubber is 130 MT, how much of natural rubber is
required?
(A) 300 MT
(B) 400 MT
(C) 500 MT
(D) Cannot be determined
