Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT DILR Question from Analytical Reasoning question

Correct Option: C 

Solution:

Wonderful question. Let us first outline the overall variables.
500x + 200y + 100z = 5000. Or, 5x + 2y + z = 50.
If the preferred denomination is 500, we know that x > (y + z).
If the preferred denomination is 200, we know that y > (x + z).
If the preferred denomination is 100, we know that z > (y + x).
After this, we are off to the questions.

To start with, we want to have the maximum number of customers who can be serviced with the available Rs. 500 notes. In other words, we need to figure out the minimum number of Rs. 500 notes with which one customer can be serviced.
In other words, can we give a customer only one Rs. 500 note and meet all conditions.
CAT DI LR 2018 Slot 1
1 Rs. 500 note gives us Rs. 500. The remaining Rs. 4500 needs to delivered with Rs. 200 and Rs. 100 notes.
The best case scenario of 22 Rs. 200 and one Rs. 100 note, we have a total of 24 notes which is not possible.
With 2 Rs. 500 notes, we would have RS. 1000. 20 Rs. 200 notes make it 22 in total. Not possible again.
With 3 Rs. 500 notes, we would have RS. 1500. 17 Rs. 200 notes and one Rs. 100 note make it 21 in total. Not possible again.
With 4 Rs. 500 notes and 15 Rs. 200 notes, our conditions are met. So, the best case scenario involves 4 Rs. 500 notes.
So, with each customer being given 4 notes, we can service a maximum of 12 notes.
