Data Insights (DI) Butler 2023-24 [Question #142, Date: Dec-05-2023] [Click here for Details]
A prep school in Europe is soliciting donations from its alumni for its scholarship fund. The total number of the school’s alumni is A, and a donation of €1 per month for one year from each alumnus will fund exactly S full tuition scholarships for the upcoming school year.
In terms of A and S, select the expression that represents how many full-tuition scholarships will be funded if half the alumni donate €1.50 per month each for one year, and select the expression that represents how many alumni must donate €1.50 per month each for one year in order to fund collectively exactly 1.5S full-tuition scholarships for the upcoming school year. Make only one selection in each column.

Language of the question is tricky but its very easy if we try to solve it logically.
if A people €1 per month than
total amount is 12*1*A= €12A
which is equals to S (total scholarship)
12A=S.....A=S/12
1st question (Scholarships funded)
Now if half the alumni donate €1.50 per month each for one year
= (A/2)*1.5*12= 18A
NOW..... 18A= 18*(S/12)
18A= (3/4)S
2nd question (Alumni donating)
how many alumni must donate €1.50 per month each for one year in order to fund collectively exactly 1.5S full-tuition scholarships
as we know tha 12A=1*S
so for 1.5S....
1.5S=1.5*(12A)= 18A
So for 1.5S Scholarships it require 18A amount of donation
which will be collected if every alimini (A) donates = 18A/12A= 1.5 per month
So the ans is A
if A people €1 per month than
total amount is 12*1*A= €12A
which is equals to S (total scholarship)
12A=S.....A=S/12
1st question (Scholarships funded)
Now if half the alumni donate €1.50 per month each for one year
= (A/2)*1.5*12= 18A
NOW..... 18A= 18*(S/12)
18A= (3/4)S
2nd question (Alumni donating)
how many alumni must donate €1.50 per month each for one year in order to fund collectively exactly 1.5S full-tuition scholarships
as we know tha 12A=1*S
so for 1.5S....
1.5S=1.5*(12A)= 18A
So for 1.5S Scholarships it require 18A amount of donation
which will be collected if every alimini (A) donates = 18A/12A= 1.5 per month
So the ans is A

Amount per each Scholarship: \(\frac{A*1}{S} = \frac{A}{S}\)
How many full-tuition scholarships will be funded if half the alumni donate €1.50 per month each for one year
Total donated: \(\frac{3}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * A = \frac{3A}{4}\)
=> Number of scholarships: \(\frac{3A}{4} \div \frac{A}{S}= \frac{3A}{4} * \frac{S}{A} = \frac{3}{4} * S\)
How many alumni must donate €1.50 per month each for one year in order to fund collectively exactly 1.5S full-tuition scholarships
Total amount to be donated: \((\frac{3}{2} * S) * \frac{A}{S} = \frac{3}{2} * A\)
Total number of alumni to donate €1.50 per month: \(\frac{3A}{2} \div \frac{3}{2} = A\)
