Comprehension
A new airlines company is planning to start operations in a country. The company has identified ten different cities which they plan to connect through their network to start with. The flight duration between any pair of cities will be less than one hour. To start operations, the company has to decide on a daily schedule.
The underlying principle that they are working on is the following:
Any person staying in any of these 10 cities should be able to make a trip to any other city in the morning and should be able to return by the evening of the same day
CAT/2017.1
Question . 92
Suppose three of the ten cities are to be developed as hubs. A hub is a city which is connected with every other city by direct flights each way, both in the morning as well as in the evening. The only direct flights which will be scheduled are originating and/or terminating in one of the hubs. Then the minimum number of direct flights that need to be scheduled so that the underlying principle of the airline to serve all the ten cities is met without visiting more than one hub during one trip is:
Explanatory Answer
Method of solving this CAT DILR Question from Analytical Reasoning question
Consider 3 cities A,B and C to be the hub cities. So, any flight from hub city and towards hub city are direct flights.
Also, it has to satifsy the underlying principle of the airline.
For the moment, let us forget about the underlying principle.
In the first step, forget about the flights between the three hub cities.
Consider only one hub city, say A. So, it will have direct flights with 7 other non hub cities D,E,F,G,H,I and J.
As observed in the previous question, in order to satisfy the underlying principle, 4 flights should be connected to each of the 7 seven cities. So, a total of 7 * 4 = 28 flights are to be operated per hub city.
Similarly, the other two hub cities B and C will have 28 flights each to the other 7 non-hub cities.
Therefore, the total no. of flight will be 28 + 28 + 28 = 84.
But, we still have to account for the flights between the hub cities.
The three cities can be connected by direct flights.
Similarly, if we account for the flights between any two hub cities, a total of 4 flights will have to be operated between the cities such that they satisfy the underlying principle.
For 3 such parirs (AB, BC and AC), we have 4 * 3 = 12 flights.
Total number of flights to be operated = 84 + 12 = 96 flights.
The question is "minimum number of direct flights that need to be scheduled so that the underlying principle of the airline to serve all the ten cities is met without visiting more than one hub during one trip is:"
Hence, the answer is "96".
Choice C is the correct answer.
