MAT 2003 Question Paper

25% of funding = $$\frac{25}{100}\times 30,300$$

= Rs. 7575 crore which is nearly equal to amount of External Assistance.

=> Ans - (B)

Angle of the segment formed at the centre of the pie chart, representing Cess/Market borrowing

= $$\frac{16846}{30300}\times360^\circ$$

= $$200.15\approx 200\%$$

=> Ans - (D)

Commission charged by the outsourced agency = 10% and cost of project = Rs. 1690 crore

=> Amount permitted to be collected = $$1690+(\frac{10}{100}\times1690)$$

= $$1690+169=1859$$ crore

=> Ans - (B)

Percentage increase in foreign tourist arrivals during the period :

2001-2002 = Number of tourists decreased (no need to calculate)

2000-2001 = $$\frac{2699-2505}{2505}\times100\approx8\%$$     [MAX]

1999-2000 = $$\frac{2505-2397}{2397}\times100\approx4\%$$

1996-1997 = $$\frac{2334-2190}{2190}\times100=6.5\%$$

=> Ans - (B)

The estimated foreign exchange earnings decreased from the period 2000-01 to 2001-02, thus first and third options are eliminated, hence the estimated foreign exchange earnings have been steadily increasing from the period 1995-96 to 2000-01.

=> Ans - (B)

Number of tourists who arrived in 2000-01 were 2699 lakhs and those who arrived in 2001-02 were 2423 lakhs, and thus the arrival dropped by 10.2 percent.

Thus, the data given in the table supports the above statement.

=> Ans - (A)

Number of delayed projects during the years :

(A) : 1991 = 189

(B) : 1994 = 210

(C) : 1997 = 239     [MAX]

(D) : 1996 = 234

=> Ans - (C)

Cost over-run during the year

1991 = 61.6%     [MAX]

1994 = 57.5%

1997 = 45%

=> Ans - (A)

Number of delayed projects in the years :

(A) : 1990 and 1992 are 194 each

(B) : 1989 and 2001 are 174 each

Thus, projects delayed are same in both set of years.

=> Ans - (C)

The percentage cost over-runs have been the same in the years 2000 and 2001, i.e. 36%. It simply implies that the cost over-runs have been the same for both years.

=> Ans - (A)
