Waec Model Questions Vol1 2022 Government Question 14

A pressure‑group has a total annual budget of ₦2,000,000. It allocates 40 % of the budget to lobbying activities, 35 % to media campaigns, and the remainder to research. Each research report costs ₦250,000. The group gains influence points as follows: for every ₦100,000 spent on lobbying it gains 5 points, for every ₦100,000 spent on media it gains 3 points, and each research report yields a fixed 4 points. The group needs at least 100 influence points to affect policy.\n\n(a) With the given allocation, how many influence points can the group achieve?\n(b) If the target of 100 points cannot be met, can the group reach the target by re‑allocating funds from media to lobbying (keeping the total budget unchanged) while still funding the same number of research reports? State whether it is possible, and if not, explain why.
