Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

Integrative Negotiation corresponds to expanding resources for shared benefits; Distributive Negotiation corresponds to fixed-resource zero-sum allocation; De-escalation Mediation corresponds to neutral facilitation during tense situations; and Compromising Strategy corresponds to mutual concessions for a middle-ground resolution.
Each strategy is accurately matched according to core negotiation theory: Integrative negotiation creates joint value; Distributive negotiation handles fixed-sum competitive bargaining; De-escalation mediation neutralizes interpersonal conflict; and Compromising achieves a pragmatic middle ground through reciprocal concessions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the core goal of Integrative Negotiation
Recognize that integrative negotiation focuses on collaborative problem-solving to expand joint gains (Win-Win).
This aligns with creating shared benefits between community residents and project developers by reformulating project scope.
2
Analyze Distributive Negotiation in resource allocation context
Identify zero-sum dynamics where resources are strictly limited.
A fixed departmental budget scenario exemplifies zero-sum (Win-Lose) bargaining.
3
Examine the role of De-escalation Mediation
Link mediation to conflict stabilization and neutral intervention.
Neutral facilitation serves primarily to diffuse emotional tension during public unrest.
4
Differentiate Compromising from Integrative solutions
Understand that compromising involves splitting differences through trade-offs.
Securing mutual concessions to reach a quick middle-ground settlement defines compromising.

In the given numerical analogy, the second number is related to the first number following a specific mathematical rule. Which number replaces the question mark (?) to complete the analogy?

7:50::9:?7 : 50 :: 9 : ?
Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8282

Cevap

The number that completes the analogy is 8282.
The relationship in the first pair is established by squaring the first number and adding 11, since 72+1=49+1=507^2 + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50. Following the exact same mathematical rule for the second pair, squaring 99 and adding 11 gives 92+1=81+1=829^2 + 1 = 81 + 1 = 82. Therefore, 8282 is the correct completing number.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the rule relating the first pair 7:507 : 50
Observe that 72=497^2 = 49, and 49+1=5049 + 1 = 50. The pattern is n:n2+1n : n^2 + 1.
Identify the multi-step mathematical transformation mapping the input to the output.
2
Apply the identified rule (n:n2+1n : n^2 + 1) to the third number 99
Calculate 92+1=81+1=829^2 + 1 = 81 + 1 = 82.
Complete the analogy by executing the identical operation on the third term.

Five administrative officers—Anand, Divya, Farhan, Gita, and Hari—are assigned to three regional sectors (North, South, and East) such that every sector has at least one officer and no sector has more than two officers. Each officer holds exactly one designated role: either Field Auditor or Operations Lead. The assignments follow these conditions:

1. Anand is a Field Auditor, while Divya and Hari are Operations Leads.
2. Divya is assigned to the North sector.
3. Gita is assigned to the East sector as a Field Auditor.
4. Anand and Farhan are assigned to the same sector, but hold different roles.
5. Hari is not assigned to the East sector.

Based on the information above, which officer is an Operations Lead assigned to the South sector?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Farhan

Cevap

Farhan is an Operations Lead assigned to the South sector.
Farhan is the correct answer because Anand and Farhan have different roles (Anand is a Field Auditor, so Farhan is an Operations Lead) and they must be assigned together to the South sector to comply with the constraint that no sector exceeds two officers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the role of Farhan.
Farhan is an Operations Lead.
Anand is a Field Auditor, and Anand and Farhan hold different roles. Thus, Farhan must be an Operations Lead.
2
Determine the sector assignment for Anand and Farhan.
Anand and Farhan are assigned to the South sector.
Anand and Farhan must be in the same sector. Since North already contains Divya and East already contains Gita, putting Anand and Farhan in either North or East would result in 3 officers in that sector (exceeding the maximum allowed of 2). Therefore, Anand and Farhan must both be in the South sector.
3
Determine the sector assignment for Hari.
Hari is assigned to the North sector.
Hari cannot be in the East sector (given) and the South sector is already full with Anand and Farhan. Thus, Hari must be assigned to the North sector.
4
Verify the full allocation and identify the target officer.
South sector consists of Anand (Field Auditor) and Farhan (Operations Lead).
Farhan meets both criteria: holding the role of Operations Lead and being assigned to the South sector.

As a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) managing relief operations following flash floods, you have received three heavy amphibious earthmovers. Four critical sites in your sub-division urgently require assistance:

1. Site P: Bridge debris removal connecting the main district hospital to surrounding villages; structural collapse is imminent within 3 hours if uncleared.
2. Site Q: Main road blockade isolating 50 families; essential rations will run out within 24 hours.
3. Site R: Agricultural canal embankment breach threatening to flood 200 acres of commercial crops within 12 hours.
4. Site S: Private resort access road blocked with 15 high-profile tourists demanding immediate clearance.

Based on objective administrative principles of life safety, public welfare, and crisis urgency, which resource allocation plan should you implement?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Deploy one earthmover to Site P, one to Site Q, and one to Site R, while keeping Site S on standby.

Cevap

Deploy one earthmover to Site P, one to Site Q, and one to Site R, while keeping Site S on standby.
The correct response allocates the three available machines strictly based on objective criteria: time-sensitivity and public impact. Site P threatens hospital access within 3 hours, Site R threatens significant economic loss within 12 hours, and Site Q involves essential supply lines for 50 families within 24 hours. Allocating one unit to each of these three locations addresses all high-priority public emergencies while placing non-critical private requests on standby.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate site urgency based on time-to-impact and threat severity.
Site P poses an immediate threat (3 hours) to hospital connectivity and critical life safety. Site R poses a 12-hour threat to major livelihoods. Site Q poses a 24-hour threat to isolated families. Site S involves non-critical discomfort.
Administrative resource allocation in emergencies prioritizes preservation of life and critical health infrastructure first.
2
Match available resources (3 earthmovers) to priority sites.
One unit is assigned to Site P (highest urgency/impact), one to Site R (medium urgency/high loss), and one to Site Q (sustained relief access).
Since three units are available, assigning one unit to each of the three public-interest emergency sites maximizes welfare and mitigates risk.
3
De-prioritize low-risk or private interest demands.
Site S is placed on standby until critical public infrastructure and life-safety hazards are mitigated.
Public service ethics demand equal treatment based on objective vulnerability rather than political or profile-based pressure.

In a department of 150150 administrative officers, a survey was conducted regarding specialized training in three skills: Cyber Security (CC), Data Analytics (DD), and Disaster Management (MM). The survey revealed the following data:
- 7575 officers are trained in Cyber Security
- 6565 officers are trained in Data Analytics
- 5555 officers are trained in Disaster Management
- 3030 officers are trained in both Cyber Security and Data Analytics
- 2525 officers are trained in both Data Analytics and Disaster Management
- 2020 officers are trained in both Cyber Security and Disaster Management
- 1010 officers are trained in all three areas

Based on this information, which of the following statements are correct?

Geçerli olan tümünü seçin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The number of officers trained only in Cyber Security is 3535.; The number of officers who are not trained in any of these three subjects is 2020.

Cevap

The statements confirming that 3535 officers are trained only in Cyber Security and that 2020 officers are not trained in any of the three subjects are correct.
The statement specifying that 3535 officers are trained only in Cyber Security is correct because 75(20+10+10)=3575 - (20 + 10 + 10) = 35. The statement specifying that 2020 officers are not trained in any of the three subjects is also correct because the total union of officers with at least one training is 130130, leaving 150130=20150 - 130 = 20.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the number of officers trained in exactly two areas and all three areas
Only Cyber Security and Data Analytics = 3010=2030 - 10 = 20; Only Data Analytics and Disaster Management = 2510=1525 - 10 = 15; Only Cyber Security and Disaster Management = 2010=1020 - 10 = 10; All three = 1010.
To avoid double-counting the triple-intersection region (1010), it must be subtracted from each pairwise intersection.
2
Calculate officers trained in only one area
Only Cyber Security = 75(20+10+10)=3575 - (20 + 10 + 10) = 35; Only Data Analytics = 65(20+15+10)=2065 - (20 + 15 + 10) = 20; Only Disaster Management = 55(10+15+10)=2055 - (10 + 15 + 10) = 20.
Subtract all overlapping regions from the total count of each individual set.
3
Find the total number of officers trained in at least one subject (Union of 3 sets)
Total trained = 35+20+20+20+15+10+10=13035 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 15 + 10 + 10 = 130.
Sum up all seven mutually exclusive regions.
4
Determine the number of officers not trained in any of the three subjects
None = 150130=20150 - 130 = 20.
Subtract the total in the union from the total population of officers (150150).

A forest conservation officer starting from a watchtower walks 5 km5\text{ km} due North. She then turns 135135^\circ clockwise and walks 42 km4\sqrt{2}\text{ km}. Next, she turns 4545^\circ counter-clockwise and walks 8 km8\text{ km} straight. Finally, she turns 9090^\circ counter-clockwise and walks 4 km4\text{ km} to reach a research station. What is the shortest straight-line distance between the watchtower and the research station, and in which direction is the research station relative to the watchtower?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 13 km13\text{ km}, North-East

Cevap

The research station is 13 km13\text{ km} away from the watchtower in the North-East direction.
The net horizontal displacement along the East-West axis is 4+8=12 km4 + 8 = 12\text{ km} East, and the net vertical displacement along the North-South axis is 54+4=5 km5 - 4 + 4 = 5\text{ km} North. Applying the Pythagorean theorem yields a direct direct distance of 122+52=13 km\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13\text{ km}. Because both net displacement coordinates are positive, the research station lies to the North-East of the starting watchtower.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up a Cartesian coordinate system with the starting watchtower at (0,0)(0, 0).
Initial position: (0,0)(0, 0), facing North.
Establishing standard coordinate axes (xx-axis for East/West, yy-axis for North/South) simplifies vector calculation.
2
Calculate position after the first leg (5 km5\text{ km} North).
Position: (0,5)(0, 5), facing North (9090^\circ relative to positive xx-axis).
Moving 5 km5\text{ km} North adds 55 units along the positive yy-axis.
3
Calculate position after turning 135135^\circ clockwise and walking 42 km4\sqrt{2}\text{ km}.
New orientation is South-East (45-45^\circ). Displacement components are Δx=42cos(45)=4 km\Delta x = 4\sqrt{2}\cos(-45^\circ) = 4\text{ km} East, Δy=42sin(45)=4 km\Delta y = 4\sqrt{2}\sin(-45^\circ) = -4\text{ km} North (South). Position becomes (0+4,54)=(4,1)(0 + 4, 5 - 4) = (4, 1).
Turning 135135^\circ clockwise from North points facing to South-East.
4
Calculate position after turning 4545^\circ counter-clockwise and walking 8 km8\text{ km}.
New orientation is due East (00^\circ). Displacement Δx=8 km\Delta x = 8\text{ km}, Δy=0\Delta y = 0. Position becomes (4+8,1+0)=(12,1)(4 + 8, 1 + 0) = (12, 1).
Turning 4545^\circ counter-clockwise from South-East realigns facing direction to East.
5
Calculate position after turning 9090^\circ counter-clockwise and walking 4 km4\text{ km}.
New orientation is due North (9090^\circ). Displacement Δx=0\Delta x = 0, Δy=4 km\Delta y = 4\text{ km}. Final position becomes (12,1+4)=(12,5)(12, 1 + 4) = (12, 5).
Turning 9090^\circ counter-clockwise from East points facing to North.
6
Compute direct shortest distance and final cardinal orientation relative to origin (0,0)(0, 0).
Shortest distance d=122+52=144+25=169=13 kmd = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{144 + 25} = \sqrt{169} = 13\text{ km}. Since both x=12>0x = 12 > 0 and y=5>0y = 5 > 0, the final direction relative to the watchtower is North-East.
The Pythagorean theorem gives straight-line displacement in a 2D Euclidean plane.

Read the following information carefully and answer the question that follows:

In a family of seven members—U,V,W,X,Y,Z,U, V, W, X, Y, Z, and TT—spanning three generations:
ZZ is the father of WW and has only two children.
WW is the brother of VV.
UU is the mother-in-law of YY, who is married to VV.
TT is the child of YY.
XX is the sibling of TT.

Based on the given information, how is TT related to WW?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Cannot be determined

Cevap

The relationship cannot be determined because the gender of TT is not specified.
The correct answer is 'Cannot be determined'. WW is the brother of VV, who is married to YY. TT is the child of YY (and VV). Since WW is the sibling of TT's parent, TT is WW's sibling's child (nephew or niece). However, because no statement specifies the gender of TT, it is impossible to uniquely determine whether TT is a nephew or a niece.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the generation structure and parentage of WW and VV.
ZZ is the father of WW and VV. Thus, WW and VV are siblings belonging to the second generation.
Establishing the parents identifies the sibling group in generation two.
2
Determine the relation between V,Y,V, Y, and TT.
YY is married to VV, and TT is the child of YY. Therefore, VV and YY are the parents of TT.
Since TT is the child of YY, TT is also the child of YY's spouse VV.
3
Relate TT to WW.
WW is the brother of VV (who is TT's parent). This makes WW the uncle of TT, and TT the child of WW's sibling.
A child of one's sibling is either a nephew or a niece.
4
Evaluate the gender of TT.
The clues state 'TT is the child of YY', but do not specify whether TT is male or female.
Without knowing TT's gender, we cannot distinguish between nephew (male) and niece (female).

During a tense public consultation regarding a controversial urban redevelopment project, a Municipal Commissioner presents an impact report. The citizens in attendance are highly distrustful of the municipal body due to past unfulfilled promises. When a local leader sharply interrupts the presentation, the Commissioner maintains steady eye contact, lowers their vocal pitch, and calmly states, "I understand your urgency, and I will address that specific point as soon as I complete this section." An administrative trainee observing the session is asked to evaluate the communication dynamics.

Which of the following evaluations by the trainee accurately applies the principles of the communication process?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The citizens' historical distrust acts as psychological noise that distorts their decoding of the Commissioner's objective data.

Cevap

The evaluation stating that the citizens' historical distrust acts as psychological noise that distorts their decoding process.
The correct answer accurately identifies that preconceived distrust is an internal mental state. In the communication process model, internal states that hinder the receiver's ability to objectively interpret (decode) a message are classified as psychological noise.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the nature of the citizens' distrust.
Distrust is an internal, cognitive, and emotional state.
Communication barriers must be correctly categorized to understand their impact. Internal emotional states classify as psychological noise, not physical or environmental noise.
2
Evaluate the Commissioner's non-verbal communication techniques.
Lowering the vocal pitch is identified as paralinguistics, while eye contact is kinesics.
Differentiating between how something is said (vocalics/paralinguistics) and body language (kinesics) is essential for accurate communication analysis.
3
Assess the Commissioner's interpersonal response style to the interruption.
The response was respectful, clear, and firm, which defines assertiveness.
Distinguishing between assertive boundary-setting and aggressive dominance prevents the misinterpretation of professional conflict resolution.

In a specific coding system, the word PARDON is written as MRWUZS. Following the exact same logical transformation rule, what is the code for the word POSTURE?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: HIXGVLS; hixgvls

Cevap

HIXGVLS
The code is determined by applying two transformation rules based on letter positions followed by a string reversal. Letters at odd positions (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th) undergo a +3+3 forward alphabetical shift, while letters at even positions (2nd, 4th, 6th) are replaced by their reverse alphabetical partner (27alphabetical position27 - \text{alphabetical position}). For the word POSTURE, this yields the intermediate string SLVGXIH. Reversing this intermediate string produces the final code HIXGVLS.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the position-based transformation rules for each letter of the original word.
Letters at odd positions (1st, 3rd, 5th...) are shifted forward by +3+3 positions in the English alphabetical series. Letters at even positions (2nd, 4th, 6th...) are replaced by their reverse alphabetical partner (where position index sum equals 2727).
For PARDON: P (1st, odd) \rightarrow S; A (2nd, even) \rightarrow Z; R (3rd, odd) \rightarrow U; D (4th, even) \rightarrow W; O (5th, odd) \rightarrow R; N (6th, even) \rightarrow M. The intermediate string is SZUWRM.
2
Identify the final structural modification step.
The intermediate letter sequence is reversed from right to left.
Reversing SZUWRM character-by-character gives MRWUZS.
3
Apply the odd/even position rules to the target word POSTURE.
P (1st, odd) +3+3 \rightarrow S; O (2nd, even) 2715=1227-15=12 \rightarrow L; S (3rd, odd) +3+3 \rightarrow V; T (4th, even) 2720=727-20=7 \rightarrow G; U (5th, odd) +3+3 \rightarrow X; R (6th, even) 2718=927-18=9 \rightarrow I; E (7th, odd) +3+3 \rightarrow H. Intermediate string is SLVGXIH.
Odd indices shift by +3+3, and even indices transform to reverse alphabetical complements.
4
Reverse the intermediate sequence to obtain the final coded answer.

Person P matches North-East; Person Q matches South-East; Person R matches North-West; Person S matches South-West.
Each person's movement path consists of an initial cardinal direction displacement followed by a single 9090^\circ turn. Analyzing each turn relative to their facing direction yields coordinates in four distinct ordinal quadrants: Person P at (+10,+10)(+10, +10) [North-East], Person Q at (+10,10)(+10, -10) [South-East], Person R at (10,+10)(-10, +10) [North-West], and Person S at (10,10)(-10, -10) [South-West].

A hill district administration observes a sharp increase in nocturnal traffic accidents and wildlife collisions along a 15-kilometer mountain highway stretch. An administrative inquiry reveals that roadside commercial eateries regularly dump untreated organic food waste into open roadside gorges at night, attracting wild animals onto the carriageway. Concurrently, the municipal authority lacks an evening waste collection mechanism in that stretch, leaving commercial establishments with no compliant disposal option. As the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), which of the following qualitative problem-solving interventions directly mitigates the underlying cause-and-effect drivers while maintaining administrative proportionality?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Institute a mandatory evening municipal waste-collection route for highway eateries with designated sealed storage bins, paired with regulatory penalties for unauthorized gorge dumping.

Cevap

The optimal course of action is to institute a mandatory evening municipal waste-collection route for highway eateries with designated sealed storage bins, paired with regulatory penalties for unauthorized gorge dumping.
Establishing a dedicated evening municipal waste-collection service alongside sealed storage bins directly removes the food source that attracts wildlife to the highway. Coupling this service with targeted regulatory penalties enforces compliance without resorting to disproportionate economic disruption, successfully resolving the underlying qualitative cause-and-effect cycle.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary qualitative cause-and-effect chain
Lack of evening waste collection leads eateries to dump organic waste in open gorges, which subsequently attracts wild animals onto the highway carriageway, causing collisions.
Effective administrative problem solving requires tackling the primary driver rather than secondary symptoms.
2
Evaluate alternative intervention strategies for operational efficacy and administrative proportionality
Providing an accessible waste collection mechanism resolves the institutional gap, while enforcement deters illegal dumping.
Purely punitive measures disrupt economic activity unnecessarily, while purely reactive wildlife scaring ignores the root cause.
3
Select the intervention that closes the cause-and-effect loop sustainably
Combining infrastructure provision with targeted enforcement ensures long-term compliance and removes the attractant permanently.
Proportional and multi-pronged administrative actions yield sustainable public safety outcomes.

Cevap: Activate the local Incident Command System, broadcast an immediate targeted evacuation order for low-lying floodplain zones via public address systems, and direct emergency transport to shift pilgrims to pre-designated temporary relief shelters.

Cevap

Activate the local Incident Command System, broadcast an immediate targeted evacuation order for low-lying floodplain zones via public address systems, and direct emergency transport to shift pilgrims to pre-designated temporary relief shelters.
The correct response combines immediate statutory command (activating the Incident Command System), clear public communication, and structured evacuation to pre-designated safe zones within the critical 45-minute timeframe. This adheres strictly to standard disaster management guidelines.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the immediate threat and time window.
Recognize that a 45-minute window requires immediate, structured, and lawful emergency execution.
In rapid-onset flood situations, administrative delay or informal management leads to preventable loss of life.
2
Invoke statutory emergency response protocols.
Activate the Incident Command System (ICS) and pre-established evacuation plans.
Statutory disaster management frameworks empower local executive magistrates to take immediate, organized control.
3
Execute public warning and safe evacuation to designated shelters.
Use public address systems and designated transport to move people safely to high ground.
Clear public communication ensures orderly movement without panic while utilizing pre-planned emergency shelter infrastructure.

A municipal engineer begins inspecting a road pipeline from point AA by walking 12 m12\text{ m} towards the East. She then turns to her right and walks 5 m5\text{ m} to reach point BB. What is the shortest direct distance between point AA and point BB, and in which direction is point BB relative to point AA?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 13 m13\text{ m}, South-East

Cevap

The shortest direct distance between point AA and point BB is 13 m13\text{ m}, and point BB lies in the South-East direction relative to point AA.
The engineer moves 12 m12\text{ m} East and then turns right (South) to walk 5 m5\text{ m}. The straight-line distance forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle with perpendicular sides of 12 m12\text{ m} and 5 m5\text{ m}, calculated as 122+52=13 m\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13\text{ m}. Since point BB lies to the East and South of point AA, its position relative to point AA is South-East.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the direction of movement.
Initial movement is 12 m12\text{ m} East. Turning right while facing East leads to facing South, followed by walking 5 m5\text{ m} South.
A right turn relative to East points directly South.
2
Identify the relative cardinal direction of point BB from point AA.
Point BB is displaced Eastward and Southward from point AA, placing it in the South-East quadrant relative to point AA.
Combining an Eastward vector with a Southward vector results in a South-East displacement.
3
Calculate the direct straight-line distance using the Pythagorean theorem.
Distance=122+52=144+25=169=13 m\text{Distance} = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{144 + 25} = \sqrt{169} = 13\text{ m}.
The perpendicular legs of 12 m12\text{ m} and 5 m5\text{ m} form a right-angled triangle where the hypotenuse represents the direct distance.

Cevap: MKTJP\text{MKTJP}

Cevap

The letter-group that completes the analogy is MKTJP\text{MKTJP}.
The pattern follows a two-step rule: first, replace each letter with its opposite letter in the reverse alphabetical order (such that the sum of positional values equals 27), and second, shift each obtained letter forward by +2+2 positions in the standard alphabet. Applying this to PRISM\text{PRISM}: P(16)\to K(11)+2=M+2 = \text{M}, R(18)\to I(9)+2=K+2 = \text{K}, I(9)\to R(18)+2=T+2 = \text{T}, S(19)\to H(8)+2=J+2 = \text{J}, M(13)\to N(14)+2=P+2 = \text{P}, producing MKTJP\text{MKTJP}.

In a state revenue department consisting of 200200 inspectors, assignments are carried out across three specialized sectors: Taxation (TT), Customs (CC), and Financial Intelligence (FF). A departmental survey revealed that 105105 inspectors handle Taxation, 9090 handle Customs, and 8585 handle Financial Intelligence. Furthermore, 4545 inspectors handle both Taxation and Customs, 4040 handle both Customs and Financial Intelligence, and 3535 handle both Taxation and Financial Intelligence. If 1515 inspectors do not work in any of these three sectors, how many inspectors are engaged in EXACTLY TWO of the three sectors?

Cevap: 45

Cevap

45 inspectors are engaged in exactly two of the three sectors.
The option stating 45 is correct. By using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the total number of inspectors operating in at least one sector is 20015=185200 - 15 = 185. Solving 185=(105+90+85)(45+40+35)+TCF185 = (105 + 90 + 85) - (45 + 40 + 35) + |T \cap C \cap F| yields TCF=25|T \cap C \cap F| = 25. To find those in exactly two sectors, we subtract 25 from each pairwise intersection (4525=2045-25=20, 4025=1540-25=15, 3525=1035-25=10), yielding a total of 20+15+10=4520 + 15 + 10 = 45.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the total number of inspectors working in at least one sector
TCF=20015=185|T \cup C \cup F| = 200 - 15 = 185
Inspectors who work in at least one sector equal the total inspectors minus those in none of the sectors.
2
Apply the Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion to find the number of inspectors in all three sectors
TCF=T+C+F(TC+CF+TF)+TCF185=105+90+85(45+40+35)+TCF185=280120+TCFTCF=25|T \cup C \cup F| = |T| + |C| + |F| - (|T \cap C| + |C \cap F| + |T \cap F|) + |T \cap C \cap F| \Rightarrow 185 = 105 + 90 + 85 - (45 + 40 + 35) + |T \cap C \cap F| \Rightarrow 185 = 280 - 120 + |T \cap C \cap F| \Rightarrow |T \cap C \cap F| = 25
The standard set identity relates the union of three sets with their individual sizes and overlapping regions.
3
Calculate the inspectors working in EXACTLY two sectors for each pairwise combination
Taxation and Customs only: 4525=2045 - 25 = 20; Customs and Financial Intelligence only: 4025=1540 - 25 = 15; Taxation and Financial Intelligence only: 3525=1035 - 25 = 10
Inspectors in all three sectors are included in every pairwise intersection and must be subtracted to isolate those in exactly two sectors.
4
Sum the counts of inspectors in exactly two sectors
20+15+10=4520 + 15 + 10 = 45
Adding these disjoint sets gives the total count of inspectors working in exactly two sectors.
