There are 5 packers A,B,C,D,E in a company. They charge 66,52,46,32,28 $ for each item. The time taken to pack one item is 20, 24,30,40,48 minutes respectively. All items are sold at the end of the day. Each item gets a profit of 100$ and the packers are paid from this profit. If each works for 8 hours a day, which packer contributes the most to the net profit of the company?
1) B
2) A
3) C
4) D

• B contributes more to the net profit , even though A packs more.
  A takes 20 min for each which means in 8 hrs he can make (8*60=480)480/20=24 packs
  B takes 24 min for each which means in 8 hrs he can make (8*60=480)480/24=20 packs
  C takes 30 min for each which means in 8 hrs he can make (8*60=480)480/30=16 packs
  D takes 40 min for each which means in 8 hrs he can make (8*60=480)480/40=12packs
  E is not in options so I am leaving
  Now, A makes 24 and hence company earns 24*100=2400 but he charges 66 for each one so he charges 66*24=1584. hence profit for the company is 2400-1584=816
  Now, B makes 20 and hence company earns 20*100=2000 but he charges 52 for each one so he charges 52*20=1040. hence profit for the company is 2000-1040=960
  Similarly for C we have 864 and D 816. Hence B contributes for more profit

• profit to company is a function of 1.earning of worker and 2.his speed.
  lets hv a short solution. in one minute who gives how much profit.
  A gvs=(100-66)/20 = 1.7
  B gvs =(100-52)/24 = 2
  C gvs = (100-46)/30 =1.8
  D gvs =(100-32)/40 =1.7
  E gvs =(100-28)/48 =1.5
  so per minute B gives max to the company, now ans will b same for any no of working hours.

• suppose they have to pack 240 items
  A will pack 12 item/min and profit to organization =(100-66)*12=408$ profit each min
  same way B will pack 10 item/min profit =(100-52)*10=480$/min for C it is 512$/min , for D it is 408$/min and for E it is 360$/min as they all working for equal time so we should not multiply 8*60 min to each these
  so ans should be C contributing most

• PROFIT A PROVIDES=816..B PROVIDE 960..C PROVIDES 864..D PROVIDES 816..E PROVIDES 720..SO B GIVES MAX CONTRIBUTION

• B is the best because he contributes approximately (2*48)+24 dollars per hour for the company

• one who packs more will getmore profits so A contirbutes more since he packs 24 items which is more than the others and also irrespective of the item cost he given that 100 is theprofit oon each item so the answer is A
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(9)
• answer:B
  for A,in 20 minutes he packs 1 item,then in (8*60) i.e. 480 minutes he will pack 24 items.
  for each item profit is 100,so for 24 items profit is 24*100=2400
  for each item,A charges 66,then for 24 items he charges 24*66=1584
  then A's contribution is=2400-1584=816
  calculate in the same way for B,C and D
  then you will see B contributes the most.
