Neco Model Questions Vol1 2024 Civic Education Question 48

Three armed groups - A, B and C - are in conflict with the government. Their minimum demands are:\n\n- Group A: at least \(30\%\) of resource X.\n- Group B: at least \(40\%\) of resource Y.\n- Group C: at least \(20\%\) of resource Z.\n\nThe government possesses: X = 100 units, Y = 120 units, Z = 80 units.\n\nIf at least two groups receive **half or more** of their demand, the probability of renewed conflict falls to \(10\%\); otherwise it remains at \(60\%\). The government wants to keep the conflict probability at \(\le 20\%\) while using the smallest total amount of resources. Determine which groups should be given resources, how much of each resource should be allocated, the total resources used, and the resulting conflict probability.
