  • 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 ?


  • Options
  • A. 131 calls
  • B. 160 calls
  • C. 491 calls
  • D. 600 calls

  • 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.
