A Product is supported each week by the same three Product supporters. Last month the first supporter took 440 calls, the second took 360 calls, and the third took 300 calls. This month the job will consists of 1500 calls. If the three supporters each increase their work proportionately, how many more calls will the second supporter take this month than last month ?

Correct Answer: 131 calls

Explanation:

1st supporter recieve 440 calls
2nd supporter recieve 360 calls
3rd supporter recieve 300 calls


So total calls = 1100 calls ;
Calls this month= 1500
So remaining calls to be distributed is 400


So Now Ratio 1st:2nd:3rd ==> 440:360:300
=> 22:18:15


Now No. of More Calls 2nd supporter will get => [18/(22+18+15)] x 400
=> (18/55) x 400
=> 131 Calls
So 131 more Calls than last month.
