Directions for question:

In the year 2002, on 1st January, the now nationally renowned advertising Creative Consultants Mr Piyush Pandey, Mr Archit Gadyar, Mr Sonal Dabral and Ms Nikita Goswami had started their professional career simultaneously on the same day from the famed advertising agency of M/S Ogilvy & Mather, at their Kolkata branch, as Junior Probationary Content Creators.

As has always been the norm for probationary joiners in the Content Creation Department of M/S Ogilvy & Mather, they were given as target an exorbitantly difficult task of creating a single content per day per individual, irrespective of weekends or holidays, for exactly four months from January 2002 to April 2002. They were strictly forbidden to create more than a single content per day. However, if partial content was created, it would be taken into consideration in the form of a fraction of the total content. Their confirmation would depend on the performance during this period.

On later becoming the Creative Director of M/S Ogilvy & Mather at their Head Office in Mumbai in July 2022, Mr Piyush Pandey came across an old record of their performance in their four probationary months, as documented by the HR department in 2002.

It was in the form of a table that provided the data for the number of contents they had individually created monthly from January to April 2002, as a decimal of the total number of contents that was the target in those four months together.

The documented record was as shown below :

The maximum content that Mr Piyush Pandey could have created in the four months together was 100.

Hence,

His achievements in the four months were :

January 2002 = 0.18*100 = 18

February 2002 = 0.28*100 = 28

March 2002 = 0.29*100 = 29

April 2002 = 0.25*100 = 25

 

The maximum content that Mr Archit Gadyar could have created in the four months together was 62.

Hence,

His achievements in the four months were :

January 2002 = 0.50*62 = 31

February 2002 = 0.25*62 = 15.50

March 2002 = 0.15*62 = 9.30

April 2002 = 0.10*62 = 6.20

 

The maximum content that Mr Sonal Dabral could have created in the four months together was 70.

Hence,

His achievements in the four months were :

January 2002 = 0.25*70 = 17.50

February 2002 = 0.40*70 = 28

March 2002 = 0.15*70 = 10.50

April 2002 = 0.04*70 = 2.80

 

The maximum content that Ms Nikita Goswami could have created in the four months together was 67.67.

Hence,

Her achievements in the four months were :

January 2002 = 0.15*66.67 = 10

February 2002 = 0.10*66.67 = 6.67

March 2002 = 0.30*66.67 = 20

April 2002 = 0.45*67.67 = 30

 

From the above data it can be seen that in January 2002 all four of them created at least ten contents each.
