IIFT 2010

Let the number of professors, associate professors and assistant professors be x, y and z respectively and their average ages be a, b
and c respectively.
xa + yb + zc = 2160 -------------------(1)
Average age =36
x+y+z=60
xa + yb = 39 (x + y)

∴ 11(yb + zc) = 360(y + z)
3(xa + zc) = 110(x + z)
x(a + 1) + y(b + 6) + z(c + 7) = 2160 + 5*(60) -------(2) [ Average increases by 5]
Eq 2- Eq 1
We get x+6y+7z=300
Lets solve the options one by one
Option A: x = 16 , y = 24, z = 20
16+6*24+7*20=300 which satisfies the equations.
So either A or C can be the answer.
Now check for the values of a, b, c
a=45, b=35, c=30
ax+by+cz = 45*16+35*24+30*20
=2160
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
