Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT DILR Question from Logical Reasoning question

Correct Option: C

Solution:

There are exactly 75 items of type e.
a=1,b=2,c=4,d=8, e=85. Here the maximum value of e= 85. Hence it can take the value 75.
An example of such case is a=1,b=2,c=4,d=18, e=75
Option B: There are exactly 30 items of type b.
a=1 b=30 and c=69. Hence this case is also possible.
Option C: There are exactly 45 items of type c.
Since the value of d should be at least 90, it means that d is not present because 45+90 will be more than 100(maximum number of
items). Only a,b and c are present.
The maximum value of b = 22 and a =1, but 45+22+1=68, which is less than 100. So this case is not possible.
Option D: There are exactly 60 items of type d.
d=60, c=30, b=9 and a=1. a+b+c+d=100. Hence this case is possible.
C is the answer.
