In a recent comprehensive survey of 500 employees, a company examined commuting preferences and the factors influencing transportation choices to work. The survey identified four main modes of transportation: Car, Bus, Bicycle, and Walking. Each mode revealed distinct reasons cited by employees for their preferences.
Among respondents, 40% favored commuting by Car. Key reasons included convenience and speed (60%), comfort (30%), and flexibility (10%). 25% of employees preferred the Bus. Reasons for choosing this mode included cost-effectiveness (50%), environmental concerns (30%), and availability (20%). Bicycle commuting was preferred by 20% of the surveyed employees. Reasons included health benefits (40%), environmental concerns (30%), and cost-effectiveness (30%). The remaining employees chose Walking as their preferred mode. They cited proximity to work (50%), health benefits (30%), and environmental concerns (20%) as their primary reasons.

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Given that
40% prefer Car,
25% prefer Bus,
20% prefer Bicycle.
Remaining preference for Walking can be calculated as: Walking=100%−(40%+25%+20%)=15%
Therefore, 15% of 500 employees prefer Walking:
Number of employees=0.15×500=75
(B) 75

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
From the data, 30% of Car users cited comfort as their reason:
Percentage of Car users citing comfort = 30%
Percentage of Car users = 40%
Number of Cars users citing comfort = 30% of 40% of 500 = 60
(C) 60
Percentage of Car users citing comfort = 30%
Percentage of Car users = 40%
Number of Cars users citing comfort = 30% of 40% of 500 = 60
(C) 60

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Initially, 25% of employees prefer Bus, which is 25% of 500:
Number of employees preferring Bus = 0.25×500 =125
After 20 employees switch from Bus to Bicycle:
Number of employees preferring Bicycle = 125+20 = 145
(D) 145
Number of employees preferring Bus = 0.25×500 =125
After 20 employees switch from Bus to Bicycle:
Number of employees preferring Bicycle = 125+20 = 145

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Among Bus users, 50% cited cost-effectiveness and 30% cited environmental concerns:
Ratio of cost-effectiveness to environmental concerns
=\(\frac{50\%}{30\%}\)
=\(\frac{5}{3}\)
=5:3
Ratio of cost-effectiveness to environmental concerns
=\(\frac{50\%}{30\%}\)
=\(\frac{5}{3}\)

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Number of employees who preferred Bus:
25% of 500 employees
= \(0.25 \times 500\) = 125 employees
Number of employees who preferred Bicycle:
20% of 500 employees
= \(0.20 \times 500\) = 100 employees
Total number of employees preferring Bus or Bicycle:
= 125 (Bus) + 100 (Bicycle)
= 225 employees
Percentage of total respondents:
= \(\bigg(\frac{225 }{ 500}\bigg) \times 100% \)= 45
25% of 500 employees
= \(0.25 \times 500\) = 125 employees
Number of employees who preferred Bicycle:
20% of 500 employees
= \(0.20 \times 500\) = 100 employees
Total number of employees preferring Bus or Bicycle:
= 125 (Bus) + 100 (Bicycle)
= 225 employees
Percentage of total respondents:
= \(\bigg(\frac{225 }{ 500}\bigg) \times 100% \)= 45

- Two students, Amiya and Ramya are the only candidates in an election for the position of class representative. Students will vote based on the intensity level of Amiya’s and Ramya’s campaigns and the type of campaigns they run. Each campaign is said to have a level of 1 if it is a staid campaign and a level of 2 if it is a vigorous campaign. Campaigns can be of two types, they can either focus on issues, or on attacking the other candidate.
If Amiya and Ramya both run campaigns focusing on issues, then
• The percentage of students voting in the election will be 20 times the sum of the levels of campaigning of the two students. For example, if Amiya and Ramya both run vigorous campaigns, then $20 × (2+2)\%$, that is, $80\%$ of the students will vote in the election.
• Among voting students, the percentage of votes for each candidate will be proportional to the levels of their campaigns. For example, if Amiya runs a staid (i.e., level 1) campaign while Ramya runs a vigorous (i.e., level 2) campaign, then Amiya will receive \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the votes cast, and Ramya will receive the other \(\frac{2}{3}\).
The above-mentioned percentages change as follows if at least one of them runs a campaign attacking their opponent.
• If Amiya runs a campaign attacking Ramya and Ramya runs a campaign focusing on issues, then $10\%$ of the students who would have otherwise voted for Amiya will vote for Ramya, and another $10\%$ who would have otherwise voted for Amiya, will not vote at all.
• If Ramya runs a campaign attacking Amiya and Amiya runs a campaign focusing on issues, then $20\%$ of the students who would have otherwise voted for Ramya will vote for Amiya, and another $5\%$ who would have otherwise voted for Ramya, will not vote at all.
• If both run campaigns attacking each other, then $10\%$ of the students who would have otherwise voted for them had they run campaigns focusing on issues, will not vote at all.- CAT - 2024
