Comprehension
There are six companies, 1 through 6. All of these companies use six operations, A through F. The following graph shows the distribution of efforts put in by each company in these six operations
Question: 1
Suppose effort allocation is inter-changed between operations B and C, then C and D, and then D and E. If companies are then ranked in ascending order of effort in E, what will be the rank of company 3?

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Original effort for company 3 in E = 21.8%. After swaps:
- Swap B and C: B (16.4) ↔ C (10.9) → E unchanged.
- Swap C and D: New C = 16.3, D = 10.9.
- Swap D and E: New E = 16.3 (old D).
Ranking E across companies after swaps puts company 3 in 4th place.
- Swap C and D: New C = 16.3, D = 10.9.
- Swap D and E: New E = 16.3 (old D).
Ranking E across companies after swaps puts company 3 in 4th place.

A new technology is introduced in company 4 such that the total effort for operations B through F get evenly distributed among these. What is the change in the percentage of effort in operation E?
A new technology is introduced in company 4 such that the total effort for operations B through F get evenly distributed among these. What is the change in the percentage of effort in operation E?
Show Hint
When redistributing evenly, divide the total among the new number of categories and compare with original values.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
For company 4: Sum of B–F = 10.3 + 8.2 + 11.2 + 28.6 + 23.4 = 81.7. Equal distribution among 5 operations = 81.7 / 5 ≈ 16.34% each. Original E = 28.6%. Change = 16.34 – 28.6 ≈ -12.3%.

- Operation E in company 4
- Operation F in company 5
- Operation E in company 5

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Removing B, C, D redistributes their total equally to A, E, F in each company. For company 4: B+C+D = 10.3 + 8.2 + 11.2 = 29.7. Each of A, E, F gains 29.7 / 3 = 9.9. New E = 28.6 + 9.9 = 38.5, the highest among all adjusted values.
