Question

A call center company had to arrange transportation for its employees. They asked for quotes from different provider agencies and the following are the options they got:

A. This option allows having uniform rate for day and night trips. This would cost you Rs.1000 per trip.

B. This option has differential fare for day and night trips. Day trips would cost 700 per trip and night trips would be charged 1200 per trip.

C. This option charges depending on the total distance covered in a trip. It charges Rs.800 per trip if trip distance is more than 50 KM and Rs.1100 if trip distance is less than 50 KM.

Option C would be preferable to Option B if:

1. If there are 3 day trips more than 50 KM
2. If there are 3 day trips less than 50 KM
3. If there are 4 day trips less than 50 KM and 1 night trip less than 50 KM
4. If there are 4 night trips less than 50 KM

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : If there are 4 night trips less than 50 KM

Calculation:

From the data,

In condition B day trip,

⇒ 700 per trip and night trip

⇒ 1200 per trip

In condition C more than 50 km trip

⇒ 800 per trip and less than 50 km

⇒ Rs. 1,100 per trip 

In condition B , 4 night package

⇒ 4 × 1200

⇒ Rs. 4,800

In condition C, 4 days less than 50 km trip

⇒ 4 × 1100

⇒ R.s 4,400

∴ Condition C is more preferable than B If there are 4 night trips less than 50 KM.
