What best can be said about the number of satellites serving C?
Explanation:
Let number of satellites exclusively serving B be ‘10x’ and number of satellites serving O be ‘z’.
∴ number of satellites exclusively serving C = number of satellites exclusively serving S = 3a
As the number of satellites serving C = number of satellites serving S, the number of satellites serving C and B but not S = number of satellites exclusively serving S and B but not C = y (assume).
∴ 10x + 2y + 100 + 6x + 2z
= 1600 ⇒ 8x + y + z
= 750 … (i)
From (1), 10x + 2y + 100
= 6x + 2y + 2z + 200
∴ z = 2x – 50 … (ii)
Thus, the minimum value that ‘x’ can takes is 25.
From (i) and (ii),
10x + y = 800 ⇒ y = 800 – 10x
Thus, the maximum value that ‘x’ can takes is 80.
The number of satellites serving
C = 3x + y + z + 100 = 3x + (800 – 10x) + (2x – 50) + 100 = 850 – 5x
As value of ‘x’ is between 25 and 80, value of (850 – 5x) must be between 450 and 725.
Hence, option (c).
