Section - E
Case study based questions are compulsory.

36. A car carrier trailer, also known as a car-carrying trailer, car hauler, or auto transport trailer, is a type of trailer
or semi-trailer designed to efficiently transport passenger vehicles via truck. Commercial-size car carrying trailers
are commonly used to ship new cars from the manufacturer to auto dealerships. Modern car carrier trailers can be
open or enclosed. Most commercial trailers have built-in ramps for loading and off-loading cars, as well as power
hydraulics to raise and lower ramps for stand-alone accessibility.

A transport company uses three types of trucks T1, T2 and T3 to transport three types of vehicles V1,V2 and V3 . The
capacity of each truck in terms of three types of vehicles is given below:
V1 V2 V3
T1 1 3 2
T2 2 2 3
T3 3 2 2
Using matrix method find:
(i) The number of trucks of each type required to transport 85, 105 and 110 vehicles of V1,V2 and V3 types
respectively.
(ii) Find the number of vehicles of each type which can be transported if company has 10, 20 and 30 trucks of
each type respectively.

37. Hindustan Pencils Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian manufacturer of pencils, writing materials and other stationery items,

and claims to be the largest pencil manufacturer in India.

Hindustan Pencils manufactures x units of pencil in a given time, if the cost of raw material is square of the
pencils produced, cost of transportation is twice the number of pencils produced and the property tax costs `
5000. Then,

38. OYO Rooms, also known as OYO Hotels & Homes, is an Indian multinational hospitality chain of leased and
franchised hotels, homes and living spaces. Founded in 2012 by Ritesh Agarwal, OYO initially consisted mainly
of budget hotels.

Data analyst at OYO say that during frequent trips to a certain city, a traveling salesperson stays at hotel A 50%
of the time, at hotel B 30% of the time, and at hotel C 20% of the time. When checking in, there is some problem
with the reservation 3% of the time at hotel A, 6% of the time at hotel B, and 10% of the time at hotel C. Suppose
the salesperson travels to this city.
(i) Find the probability that the salesperson stays at hotel A and has a problem with the reservation.
(ii) Find the probability that the salesperson has a problem with the reservation.
(iii) Suppose the salesperson has a problem with the reservation; what is the probability that the salesperson is
staying at hotel A?
