Ambani bought a total of 30 Aircraft, Lamborghini, and Bentley for Rs.136 million. He bought one Lamborghini more than Bentley. The cost of each Aircraft was Rs. 8 million each, Lamborghini was Rs. 3 million each and Bentley was Rs. 4 million each. How many Aircraft did he buy?

Calculation:

Let the number of Aircraft, Lamborghini and Bentley bought by Ambani be x, y, and z respectively.

According to the question:

x + y + z = 30      ----(i)

8x + 3y + 4z = 136      ----(ii)

From (ii) – (i) × 4, we get

4x – y = 16      ----(iii)

From (iii)

When y = 0 then x = 4

∴ z = (30 – 4 - 0)

⇒ z = 26

The other solutions are obtained by adding 1 repeatedly to x.

When x = 5 then y = 4

∴ z = (30 – 5 - 4)

⇒ z = 21

When x = 6 then y = 8

∴ z = (30 – 6 - 8)

⇒ z = 16

When x = 7 then y = 12

∴ z = (30 – 7 - 12)

⇒ z = 11

When x = 8 then y = 16

∴ z = (30 – 8 - 16)

⇒ z = 6

When x = 9 then y = 20

∴ z = (30 – 9 - 20)

⇒ z = 1

When x = 10 then y = 34

∴ z = (30 – 10 - 34)

⇒ z = -14

This is not possible.

Calculate results in a table.

Since he bought at least one of each thing and one more Lamborghini than Bentley.

So, 4th combination is the right combination.

No. of Aircrafts = 7 ; No. of Lamborghinis = 12 ; No. of Bentleys = 11

Ambani bought 7 Aircraft.

In the question below, a statement is given, followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the suggested course of action logically follow (s) for pursuing.

Courses of action: I. The company is planning not to increase the price of its vehicle despite significant rupee depreciation and wants to protect the attractive price of Urus for prospective buyers.  II. The super sports utility vehicle will drive volumes, super sports cars such as Huracan and Aventador will grow by 8-10%. The company feels an 8-10% growth in the segment is a realistic expectation in spite of the challenges.  III. More than 68% of Urus buyers are first-time Lamborghini buyers and makers are sure that this will have a positive rub-off effect on the super sports car segment too.
