Following table shows the percentage population of six states below poverty line and proportion of male and female.

If the total population of state A is 5000 then what is the no. of females above poverty line in state A?
Total population of A=5000
Population of A below poverty line =16% => population of A above poverty line = 84% = 4200
Number of females above poverty line in A = $$\frac{4}{7}\cdot4200\ =2400$$
Following table shows the percentage population of six states below poverty line and proportion of male and female.

If the population of C&D together is 20000 what is the total no. of females below poverty line in the above states?
Since the individual populations of C and D aren't given , the number of females below poverty line cannot be determined.
Following table shows the percentage population of six states below poverty line and proportion of male and female.

If the population of males below poverty line in state C is 6000 & state E 1000 then what is the ratio of the total population of state C& E is
Let total population of C and E be 100x and 100y respectively.
Number of males below poverty line in C = $$\frac{3}{7}\cdot14x$$ = 6x = 6000 => x=1000
Number of males below poverty line in E = $$\frac{4}{5}\cdot25y$$ = 20y=1000=>y= 50
Hence ratio = 20:1
Following table shows the percentage population of six states below poverty line and proportion of male and female.

If in state F population of females below poverty line is 16000, then what is the population of males below poverty line in that state?
Let total population of F be 100x
Population below poverty line = 20x
Females below poverty line = $$\frac{3}{5}\cdot\ 20x=12x$$ = 16000
=> x= 1333.333
Males below poverty line = $$\frac{2}{5}\cdot\ 20x=8x$$ = 10666.66

=1702
Thus, the correct option is D.
Study the pie chart and table carefully to answer the questions that below:


What is the ratio of the total number of men to the total number of women working in all the departments together ?
Number of Men in HR= $$\ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times11\%\ of\ 4600=\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times\ \ \frac{\ 11}{100}\times\ 4600=253\ $$
Number of Men in Accounts=$$\ \frac{\ 3}{4}\times8\%\ of\ 4600=\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times\ \ \frac{\ 8}{100}\times\ 4600=276\ $$
Number of Men in Production= $$\ \frac{\ 3}{5}\times15\%\ of\ 4600=\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times\ \ \frac{\ 15}{100}\times\ 4600=414\ $$
Number of Men in IT= $$\ \frac{\ 1}{4}\times26\%\ of\ 4600=\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times\ \ \frac{\ 26}{100}\times\ 4600=299\ $$
Number of Men in Marketing= $$\ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times22\%\ of\ 4600=\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times\ \ \frac{\ 22}{100}\times\ 4600=506\ $$
Number of Men in Merchandising= $$\ \frac{\ 5}{6}\times18\%\ of\ 4600=\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times\ \ \frac{\ 18}{100}\times\ 4600=690\ $$
Total men= 253+276+414+299+506+690=2438.
Total Women= 4600-2438=2162.
Ratio of men and women= $$\ \frac{\ 2438}{2162}=\ $$= $$\ \frac{\ 53}{47}\ $$
Hence, Option C
Study the pie chart and table carefully to answer the questions that below:


The number of women in the merchandising department forms what per cent of the total number of employees in the organization ?
Total Employees =4600.
Total employees in Merchandising= 18% of 4600= 828.
Ratio of women and men= 1/5.
So, number of women= $$\ \frac{\ 1}{6}\times828=\ 138\ $$
% of women= $$\ \frac{\ 138}{4600}\times100=\ 3\%\ $$
Study the pie chart and table carefully to answer the questions that below:


What is the ratio of the number of men in the production department to the number of men in the marketing department ?
Total employees given= 4600
Total employees in production = 15% of 4600= 690.
Ratio of men and women in Production= 3:2
Number of men= $$\ \ \frac{\ 3}{5}\times\ 690=3\times\ 138=414$$
Total employees in Marketing= 22% of 4600= 22$$\times\ $$46= 1012.
Ratio of men and women in Production= 1:1
Therefore number of men= $$\ \frac{\ 1}{2}\times\ 1012=\ 506$$
So, Number of men in Production: Number of men in Marketing= $$\ \frac{\ 414}{506}=\ \frac{\ 9}{11}$$

A factory is to commission two production lines. Production line 1 is to use existing technology. Production line 2 is to use the latest innovation in technology and, while promising to achieve considerable advances in productivity, it will take longer to start and is likely to experience teething problems. Graph indicates the productive record of each product line. Refer to the graph to answer the following
A. Can the duration of reported breakdown be established?
B. Can the loss of production be quantified?
As the graph representing production line 1 is showing a steady increase, the given graphs represent cumulative productions. The graph representing production line 2 is showing no change from the 4th month to 6th month so It was the period of breakdown.
As the graph representing production line 2 is not following any pattern, we cannot quantify the loss of production as the production in those months cannot be determined.
So Only A can be answered

Coefficient of variation is useful to study
In statistics, the coefficient of variation (COV) is a simple measure of relative event dispersion. It is equal to the ratio between the standard deviation and the mean. The most common use of the COV is to compare relative risk, although it can be applied to any type of quantitative likelihood or probability distribution.
There is another use and meaning of the COV. When interpreting mathematical models, COV is calculated as the ratio between root mean squared error and the mean of a separate dependent variable. This type of COV analysis is less common, but it can be constructive when determining if a model is a good fit for a specific task or type of analysis. It is used to measure disparity and consistency.
Answer the following questions based on the information given below.
A survey of movie goers from five cities A, B, C, D and E is summarized below. The first column gives the percentage of viewers in each city who watch less than one movie a week. The second column gives the total number of viewers who view one or more movies per week

How many viewers in the city C watch less than one movie a week?
The total number of moviegoers in a city = Number of people who watch less than 1 movie per week + Number of people who watch one or more movie per week
For city A, the percentage of viewers who watch less than one movie a week = 60, hence the percentage of viewers who view one or more movies per week = 100-60 = 40
=> 40% of the total number of viewers in A = 2400 => The total number of viewers = $$\ \frac{\ 2400\times\ 100}{40}$$ = 6000
=> The number of viewers who watch less than one movie a week = $$6000\times\ \frac{\ 60}{100}$$ =3600
Similarly, we can tabulate the data for the rest of the cities:
The viewers in the city C watch less than one movie a week = 13600

The following table gives cost data of select stock prices on 3rd Dec 2003 in two markets, BSE of India and NQE of Kya Kya island. Closing stock refers to the price at the close of trading hours and opening stock to the price at the beginning of the day. The currency of Kya Kya is # and the exchange rate is # = Rs 11.

Which share and which market showed the highest % increase on 3rd Dec 2003?
We will go by the options to check each one of them
Option A says SIFY on BSE.
% increase= $$\ \frac{\text{ Closing Price-Opening Price}}{\text{Opening Price}}\cdot100\%=\ \frac{\ 247-232}{232}\cdot100\%=\ \ \frac{\ 15}{232}\cdot100\%=6.465\%$$
Option B says INFY on NQE.
% increase= $$\ \frac{\text{ Closing Price-Opening Price}}{\text{Opening Price}}\cdot100\%=\ \frac{\ 10.5-9.5}{9.5}\cdot100\%=\ \ \frac{\ 1}{9.5}\cdot100\%=10.52\%$$
Option C says Wipro on NQE.
% increase= $$\ \frac{\text{ Closing Price-Opening Price}}{\text{Opening Price}}\cdot100\%=\ \frac{\ 6.5-5.5}{5.5}\cdot100\%=\ \ \frac{\ 1}{5.5}\cdot100\%=18.18\%$$
Option D says TCS on NQE
% increase= $$\ \frac{\text{ Closing Price-Opening Price}}{\text{Opening Price}}\cdot100\%=\ \frac{\ 40-40.5}{40.5}\cdot100\%=\ \ \frac{\ -0.5}{40.5}\cdot100\%=-1.23\%$$
So, Option C shows the highest increase.
The following table gives cost data of select stock prices on 3rd Dec 2003 in two markets, BSE of India and NQE of Kya Kya island. Closing stock refers to the price at the close of trading hours and opening stock to the price at the beginning of the day. The currency of Kya Kya is # and the exchange rate is # = Rs 11.

Arbitrage means buying in one market and selling simultaneously in another market. If Mr. Ghosh Babu were to buy a share at the opening price on one exchange and be able to sell it at the opening price on the other exchange, on which share does he make maximum % profit?
First we convert the currency of Kya Kya into Rs. by multiplying the values to 11 and we can get the following table:

In SIFY, profit made by him= $$\ \frac{\ 232-231}{231}\cdot100\%=0.43\%$$
In INFY, profit made= $$\ \frac{\ 105-104.5}{104.5}\cdot100\%=0.47\%$$
In WIPRO, profit made= $$\ \frac{\ 60.5-60}{60}\cdot100\%=0.83\%$$
In TCS, Profit made= $$\ \frac{\ 450-445.5}{445.5}\cdot100\%=1.01\%$$
Therefore, max profit is made in TCS share
The following table gives cost data of select stock prices on 3rd Dec 2003 in two markets, BSE of India and NQE of Kya Kya island. Closing stock refers to the price at the close of trading hours and opening stock to the price at the beginning of the day. The currency of Kya Kya is # and the exchange rate is # = Rs 11.

In an M&A deal SIFY is purchased by its parent company SATYAM which purchases 15% of SIFY’s equity shares. Total SIFY’s equity shares is 1 million. How much does Satyam pay in Rs. for the stake if 50% of its purchases were on BSE’s opening price and balance on BSE’s closing price?
Given, total shares of SIFY= 1000000
Shares purchased by SATYAM= 15% of 1000000= 150000.
Now, 50% of the shares were purchased at BSE's opening price i.e. Rs. 232 and 50% of the shares were purchased at BSE's closing price, Rs. 247.
So, total amount paid by SATYAM= 75000*(232)+ 75000(247)= Rs. 75000(479)= Rs. 35925000 which is close to Rs. 36 millions.
The following chart presents the data collected for an on-line job portal InfiniteJobs.com. For each Question, there are two Statements, each of which could be either True or False. Choose one of the following options as an answer:

Statement X: The percentage increase in number of Registrations from 2004 to 2005 is higher for Managerial candidates than for Technical candidates
Statement Y: The overall Registrations have grown by more than 25%
Considering statement X,
Percentage increase for Managerial candidates= $$\ \frac{\ \left(45292-19236\right)}{19236}\cdot100=\ \ \frac{\ 26056}{19236}\cdot100=135.45\%$$
Percentage increase in Technical candidates= $$\ \frac{\ \left(63298-61205\right)}{61205}\cdot100=3.3\%$$
Therefore statement X is true.
Considering statement Y,
Total registrations in 2004= 61205+19236= 80441.
Total registrations in 2005= 63298+45292= 108690.
So, growth in the overall number of registrations= $$\ \frac{\ \left(108690-80441\right)}{80441}\cdot100=35.11\%$$, which is greater than 25%.
So, both statement X and Y are true.

For Managerial jobs in 2004, the number of candidates offered jobs as a proportion of the number of CV’s posted=$$\ \frac{\ 48}{15389}=0.00312$$
So, statement X is false.
Evaluating Y,
In technical category in 2004, the number of candidates offered jobs as a proportion of the candidates shortlisted=$$\ \frac{\ 181}{684}=0.2646$$
In Managerial category in 2004, the number of candidates offered jobs as a proportion of the candidates shortlisted=$$\ \frac{\ 48}{138}=0.3478$$
So, statement Y is also false.
Hence, option D.

Study the sector wise sales of a group of companies for the financial year 2004 - 2005 and answer the following questions.


This group of companies operates in multiple sectors. The holding company has decided to closely monitor minimum number of sectors (not exceeding 5) contributing together a major part (at least 80%) of sales of the group. Identify the correct set of sectors
Engineering, Material, Services and CIS contributes around 81% of market share.
Study the sector wise sales of a group of companies for the financial year 2004 - 2005 and answer the following questions.


The average profit against the sales across the sectors is 10% while the profit margin of engineering is 12% and CIS, 20%. What is the average profit across the remaining sectors?
Let us represent the sales revenue in terms of 'k'.
Total sales revenue = 100k
Sales revenue from Engineering = 31k
Sales revenue from CIS = 19k
Remaining revenue from other sectors = 50k
Profit margin = Profit/Revenue
Let the profit margin of remaining sectors be x%.
So the eqn is:
10*100k = x*50k + 12*31k + 20*19k
after cancelling 'k' from both sides, we get:
=> x = 4.94% (answer)
