A salesman sells two kinds of trousers: cotton and woolen. A pair of cotton trousers is sold at 30% profit and a pair of woolen trousers is sold at 50% profit.

What will be his overall profit?
(a) 37.5% (b) 40% (c) 41%
(d) 42.33% (e) NOTA

An interesting Question:
If a, b, c, d are integers, then find number of all quadruplets (a, b, c, d) such that a*b*c*d = 1050.
Note:- a, b, c, d can be negative also.
1050=5^2 * 7 * 3 * 2*1 = 5*5*7*3*2*1
we have a product of six numbers.
FOr the entire product to be positive:
1)all six are positive=1 way
2)two of the six are negative.6c2=15 ways
3)four of six are negative=6c4=15 ways
4) all 6 negative=1 way
so in all 32 cases are possible.
Now again,
consider only the product of 5*5*7*3*2
4 numbers can be selected from this set of 5 in 5 ways.
the remaining number can be put in any of the four boxes in four ways.
so making it 5*4=20 ways
so total possible set of four numbers = 20*32= 640....
Again, if the set of four numbers has something like 5,5,x,y
the number of ways the fifth number can be distributed is only 3!(Putting in any box of 5 is the same)...We have not taken this into account.
So from the total reduce this factor.
SO total ways =640-3=637

Economist: Every business strives to increase its productivity, for this increases profits for the owners and the likelihood that the business will survive. But not all efforts to increase productivity are beneficial to the business as a whole. Often, attempts to increase productivity decrease the number of employees, which clearly harms the dismissed employees as well as the sense of security of the retained employees.
Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main conclusion of the economist’s argument?
- If an action taken to secure the survival of a business fails to enhance the welfare of the business’s employees, that action cannot be good for the business as a whole.
- Decreasing the number of employees in a business undermines the sense of security of retained employees
- There is no business that does not make efforts to increase its productivity.
- Only if the employees of a business are also its owners will the interests of the employees and owners coincide, enabling measures that will be beneficial to the business as a whole.
- Some measures taken by a business to increase productivity fail to be beneficial to the business as a whole

During his time as a product manager on Apple's PowerBook team, Anthony Simmons along with his team was gearing up to launch a new product. As part of testing, he had found that a very small sample size was flawed and could be harmful. He was under tremendous pressure to make a decision on whether or not to hold off bringing the product to market. And there were good arguments on both sides. On the one hand, the defected sample size was small and not statistically significant, and millions of dollars would be lost by holding off shipment. On the other hand, Simmons believed the long-term impact risk was high.
In such a situation, Simmons can maintain the customer base and uphold the reputation of the company by:
1. Delay the launch and hire a consultant to look into the matter.
2. Launch the product and make a public announcement about the shortcoming so that clients can get their products checked at the after-sales centres. On checking, the defective products can be taken back.
3. Go ahead with the launch and hope the customers don’t notice the flaw.
4. Take a long-term perspective and delay the launch of the product.
