Question 1: Study the following graph and answer the question that follows.

What is the total ratio of the revenue of the company in 2016 and 2018 to that of the total expenditure in 2015 and 2017 respectively?

a) 143:105

b) 130:103

c) 115:114

d) 105:143

1) Answer (A)

Solution:

Total revenue of the company in 2016 and 2018 = 340 + 375 = 715

Total expenditure of the company in 2015 and 2017 = 250 + 275 = 525

Required Ratio = 715 : 525

i.e; 143 : 105

Hence, option A is correct.

Question 2: Study the following graph and answer question that follows.

The expenditure of the company in 2016 is what percentage more then the average revenue (per year) in 2014, 2015 and 2018 (correct to the nearest integer)?

a) 3%

b) 5%

c) 6%

d) 4%

2) Answer (A)

Solution:

Expenditure of the company in 2016 = 320

Average revenue in 2014,2015 and 2018

$\therefore\frac{\left(revenue\ in\ 2014+revenue\ in\ 2015+revenue\ in\ 2018\right)}{3}$

$\therefore\frac{\left(260+300+375\right)}{3}$

= 311.67

Required percentage = $\frac{\left(320-311.67\right)}{311.67}$

$=2.67\simeq\ 3\%$

Hence, option A is correct

Question 3: 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

3) Answer (D)

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

a) 725

b) 850

c) 1000

d) 915

8) Answer (D)

Solution:

Number of employees working in department A = x = $\frac{64.2^{\circ\ }}{360^{\circ\ }}\times9000$ = 1605

x = 1605

Number of employees working in department C = $\frac{72^{\circ\ }}{360^{\circ\ }}\times9000$ = 1800

Number of employees working in department E = $\frac{93^{\circ\ }}{360^{\circ\ }}\times9000$ = 2325

The total number of employees working in departments C and E = y = 1800 + 2325 = 4125

y = 4125

y – 2x = 4125 – 2(1605) = 4125 – 3210 = 915

Hence, the correct answer is Option D
