Question Details

Read the given information carefully and answer the question that follows.

The data below provides details about two categories of staff (loaders and drivers) across three logistics hubs: Hub X, Hub Y, and Hub Z.
For Hub X – the combined total of loaders and drivers is 80.
For Hub Y – the total number of loaders is 5 more than the total number of loaders in Hub Z.
For Hub Z – the total number of loaders is 10 less than the total number of drivers.
Note – the total number of drivers in Hub X is 25 less than the total number of loaders in Hub Y.
Total staff in Hub Z is 10 more than total staff in Hub X, and the total number of drivers across all three hubs is 110.

Find the average number of loaders in Hub X and Hub Z.

Correct Answer :

Option C

50

Solution :

The correct answer is 50.

Let us break down the given information step-by-step to find the required average:

1. Total staff in Hub X and Hub Z:
Total staff in Hub X = 80.
Given that the total staff in Hub Z is 10 more than the total staff in Hub X:

Total staff in Hub Z=80+10=90

2. Loaders and Drivers in Hub Z:
Let the total number of drivers in Hub Z be DZ and loaders be LZ.
Since the total staff in Hub Z is 90:

LZ+DZ=90

Given that the total number of loaders in Hub Z is 10 less than the total number of drivers in Hub Z:

DZ-LZ=10

Adding these two equations together:

2DZ=100DZ=50

Substituting DZ = 50 back into the total staff equation for Hub Z gives:

LZ=50-10=40

3. Loaders in Hub Y:
The total number of loaders in Hub Y is 5 more than the total number of loaders in Hub Z:

LY=40+5=45

4. Drivers and Loaders in Hub X:
The total number of drivers in Hub X is 25 less than the total number of loaders in Hub Y:

DX=45-25=20

Since the combined total of loaders and drivers in Hub X is 80:

LX+DX=80

LX+20=80LX=60

5. Average number of loaders in Hub X and Hub Z:
Number of loaders in Hub X (LX) = 60
Number of loaders in Hub Z (LZ) = 40

Average=60+402

Average=1002=50

Thus, the average number of loaders in Hub X and Hub Z is 50.
