A) Only C B) Only A & B
C) All are required D) None of the statements is required
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of the statements is required

Explanation:

From the given data,
(60 - 45)% = 12.5 + 4
15% = 16.5
=> 100% = ?
100% = 16.5 x 100/15 = 110

Hence, P = 45% of 110 = 45x110/100 = 49.5
Q = 50% of 110 = 55
R = 60% of 110 = 60 x 110/100 = 66
M = 12.5 + 49.5 = 62 or 66 - 4 = 62

 

Hence, no statement is required to answer.

This month the job will consists of 1500 calls. If the three supporters each increase their work proportionately, how many more calls will the second supporter take this month than last month ?

A) 131 calls B) 160 calls
C) 491 calls D) 600 calls
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 131 calls

Explanation:

1st supporter recieve 440 calls
2nd supporter recieve 360 calls
3rd supporter recieve 300 calls

So total calls = 1100 calls ;
Calls this month= 1500
So remaining calls to be distributed is 400

So Now Ratio 1st:2nd:3rd ==> 440:360:300
=> 22:18:15

Now No. of More Calls 2nd supporter will get => [18/(22+18+15)] x 400
=> (18/55) x 400
=> 131 Calls
So 131 more Calls than last month.
