Question Details

Anu, Bijay, Chetan, Deepak, Eshan, and Faruq are six friends. Each of them uses a mobile number from exactly one of the two mobile operators - Xitel and Yocel. During the last month, the six friends made several calls to each other.

Each call was made by one of these six friends to another. The table below summarizes the number of minutes of calls that each of the six made to (outgoing minutes) and received from (incoming minutes) these friends, grouped by the operators. Some of the entries are missing.

Also, there were no calls from:

i. Bijay to Eshan,

ii. Chetan to Anu and Chetan to Deepak,

iii. Deepak to Bijay and Deepak to Faruq,

Q) What was the duration of calls (in minutes) from Bijay to Anu?

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

50

Solution :

The correct answer is 50.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Identify the Operators and Users:
Based on the table in the image:

  • Xitel Operator Users: Anu and Bijay
  • Yocel Operator Users: Chetan, Deepak, Eshan, and Faruq

2. Analyze Xitel-to-Xitel Calls:
Since Anu and Bijay are the only two users of the Xitel operator, any call within the Xitel network must be between Anu and Bijay. Specifically:

  • Anu's outgoing calls to Xitel must be to Bijay.
  • Anu's incoming calls from Xitel must be from Bijay.

3. Calculate the Call Duration from Bijay to Anu:
Looking at the row for Anu:

  • Her Incoming minutes from Operator Xitel is given as 50.
Since Bijay is the only other user on the Xitel operator network, these 50 minutes of incoming calls to Anu must have originated from Bijay.

Thus, the duration of calls from Bijay to Anu is:

Duration (Bijay to Anu)=50 minutes
