Q:

Three strategies P, Q and R have been initiated for cost cutting in a company producing respectively 20%, 30% and 10% savings. Assuming that they operate independently, what is the net saving achieved ?

A) 49.6% B) 50.4%
C) 33.67% D) 66.66%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 49.6%

Explanation:

As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.
If initial cost is Rs 100, then
20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80
further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56
further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4

Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.

A) 51/1221 B) 42/221
C) 1/221 D) 52/1245
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/221

Explanation:

Total Combination of getting a card from 52 cards = C152

Because there is no replacement, so number of cards after getting first card= 51

Now, Combination of getting an another card= C151


Total combination of getting 2 cards from 52 cards without replacement= (C152×C151


There are total 4 Ace in stack. Combination of getting 1 Ace is = C14

 

Because there is no replacement, So number of cards after getting first Ace = 3


Combination of getting an another Ace = C13

Total Combination of getting 2 Ace without replacement=C14×C13

Now,Probability of getting 2 cards which are Ace =C14×C13C152×C151 = 1/221.
