# Data Interpretation Tables Questions [PDF] for MAH-CET

Question 1: In the table, the production and the sale (in 1000 tonnes) of a certain product of a company over5 years is given.

In which year(s) the production increases by more than 10% of that in the previous year?

a) 2018, 2019

b) 2017, 2018

c) 2019

d) 2016

Solution:

Percentage increase in production of 2016 compared to 2015 = $\frac{150}{1250}\times$100 = 12%

Percentage increase in production of 2017 compared to 2016 = $\frac{50}{1400}\times$100 = 3.57%

Percentage increase in production of 2018 compared to 2017 = $\frac{50}{1450}\times$100 = 3.44%

Percentage increase in production of 2019 compared to 2018 = $\frac{100}{1500}\times$100 = 6.67%

$\therefore$  Only in 2016, the production increases by more than 10% of that in the previous year.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

Question 2: Table shows District-wise data of number of primary school teachers posted in schools of a city.

a) 735

b) 771

c) 110

d) 545

Solution:

The total number of male teachers in the districts East, North, West taken together = 1650 + 1075 + 1280

= 4005

The total number of female teachers in the districts East and South = 2375 + 1085

= 3460

Required difference = 4005 – 3460

= 545

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

Question 3: Table shows the number of trees planted in 4 cities from 2016 to 2020.

In which city were maximum trees planted in 2016 and 2019 taken together?

a) Chandigarh

c) Pune

d) Kolkata

Solution:

Trees planted in Chandigarh in 2016 and 2019 together = 1800 + 2440 = 4240

Trees planted in Ahmedabad in 2016 and 2019 together = 2500 + 1950 = 4450

Trees planted in Pune in 2016 and 2019 together = 1800 + 1900 = 3700

Trees planted in Kolkata in 2016 and 2019 together = 2000 + 1600 = 3600

$\therefore$  In Ahmedabad, maximum trees planted in 2016 and 2019 taken together

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Question 4: Study the following table and answer the question:
Percentage of marks obtained by six students in five subjects A, B, C, D & E.

The average marks of Manju, Rekha and Abhi in subject B are?

a) 54

b) 60

c) 56

d) 62

Solution:

Marks obtained by Majnu in subject B = $\frac{85}{100}\times$80 = 68

Marks obtained by Rekha in subject B = $\frac{75}{100}\times$80 = 60

Marks obtained by Abhi in subject B = $\frac{65}{100}\times$80 = 52

The average marks of Manju, Rekha and Abhi in subject B = $\frac{68+60+52}{3}$

= $\frac{180}{3}$

= 60

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

d) 3550

Solution:

From the table,

Number of trees planted in Chandigarh in 2017 = 2500

Number of trees planted in Kolkata in 2020 = 1750

The total number of trees planted in Chandigarh in 2017 and in Kolkata in 2020 = 2500 + 1750

= 4250

Hence, the correct answer is Option C

Question 8: Study the following table and answer the question:
Number of students Appeared (A) and Passed (P) in an annual examination from four schools Q, R, S & T in five years (2014 to 2018)

The difference between the average number of students passed from school R in 2015 to 2017 and the number of students passed from school Q in 2015 is x. The value of x lies between:

a) 20 and 25

b) 35 and 40

d) 25 and 30

Solution:

The difference between the average number of students passed from school R in 2015 to 2017 and the number of students passed from school Q in 2015 is x.

x = 320 – ($\frac{285+294}{2}$)

x = 320 – 289.5

x = 30.5

x lies between 30 and 35.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C

Question 9: Study the following table and answer the question:

The total number of students passed from school S in 2014 and 2017 is what percent of 90% of the total number of students appeared from school T in 2015, 2016 and 2017? (correct to one decimal place)

a) 53.9

b) 54.8

c) 59.6

d) 57.4

Solution:

The total number of students passed from school S in 2014 and 2017 = 273 + 247 = 520

90% of the total number of students appeared from school T in 2015, 2016 and 2017 = $\frac{90}{100}\left(300+320+350\right)$

= 873

Required percentage = $\frac{520}{873}\times100$

= 59.6(approximately)

Hence, the correct answer is Option C

Question 10: Study the following table and answer the question:
Number of students enrolled for Vocational Courses (VC) in institutes A, B, C, D, E & F.

a) 43.2

b) 42.8

c) 43.8

d) 44.6

Solution:

The total number of students enrolled for VC in institutes D and F in 2014 = 125 +165 = 290

The total number of students enrolled for VC in institutes A, B and C in 2018 = 205 + 220 + 225 = 650

Required percentage = $\frac{290}{650}\times$100

= 44.61(approximately)

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

Question 11: Study the following table and answer the question:
Number of students enrolled for Vocational Courses (VC) in institutes A, B, C, D, E & F.

d) 85

Solution:

The average number of students enrolled for VC in institute F in 2015, 2017 and 2018 = $\frac{230+220+210}{3}$ = 220

The average number of students enrolled for VC in all the six institutes in 2014 = $\frac{110+120+140+125+150+165}{6}$ = $\frac{810}{6}$ = 135

Required difference = 220 – 135 = 85

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

= $\frac{\frac{150}{100}\left[92+80+74+84\right]}{4}$

= $\frac{\frac{150}{100}\left[330\right]}{4}$

= $\frac{495}{4}$

= 123.75

Hence, the correct answer is Option C

Question 15: In the table, production and sale (in 1000 tonnes) of a certain product of a company over 5 years is given. Study the table and answer the question.

a) 2016, 2018

b) 2019

c) 2015, 2016

d) 2015, 2019

Solution:

In 2015, percentage of sales of the production = $\frac{1000}{1250}\times100$ = 80%

In 2016, percentage of sales of the production = $\frac{1290}{1400}\times100$ = 92.14%

In 2017, percentage of sales of the production = $\frac{1100}{1450}\times100$ = 75.86%

In 2018, percentage of sales of the production = $\frac{1450}{1500}\times100$ = 96.67%

In 2019, percentage of sales of the production = $\frac{1390}{1600}\times100$ = 86.875%

$\therefore$  In 2015 and 2019, sale is 80% or more but less than 90% of the production.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

Question 16: The table shows the daily income (in ₹) of 50 persons.
Study the table and answer the question:

What is the percentage of persons earning ₹250 or more?

a) 52

b) 68

c) 32

d) 48

Solution:

Number of persons earning less than ₹200 = 12

Number of persons earning between ₹200 and ₹250 = 26 – 12 = 14

Number of persons earning between ₹250 and ₹300 = 34 – 26 = 8

Number of persons earning between ₹300 and ₹350 = 40 – 34 = 6

Number of persons earning between ₹350 and ₹400 = 50 – 40 = 10

Percentage of persons earning ₹250 or more = $\frac{8+6+10}{50}\times100$ = 48%

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

Question 17: Study the following table and answer the question:
Percentage of marks obtained by six students in five subjects A, B, C, D & E.

The total marks obtained by Amit in subjects A, B and C is what percent less than the total marks obtained by Vikram in subjects B, C, D and E?

a) 42

b) 35

c) 40

d) 38

Solution:

Total marks obtained by Amit in subjects A, B and C = $\frac{64}{100}\times75+\frac{65}{100}\times80+\frac{80}{100}\times100$ = 48 + 52 + 80 = 180

Total marks obtained by Vikram in subjects B, C, D and E = $\frac{70}{100}\times80+\frac{73}{100}\times100+\frac{84}{100}\times50+\frac{86}{100}\times150$ = 56 + 73 + 42 + 129 = 300

Required percentage = $\frac{300-180}{300}\times100$ = 40%

Hence, the correct answer is Option C

a) 41:56

b) 43:56

c) 42:55

d) 3:4

Solution:

Number of students studying Science in institutes C and D taken together = 36 + 48 = 84

Number of students studying Computer Science in institutes A and E taken together = 57 + 55 = 112

Required ratio = 84 : 112

= 3 : 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option D
