Instructions

The graph shows Income and Expenditure(Rs. in lakhs) of a company.Study the graph and answer the questions.

Question 5

The expenditure from 2002 to 2003 increased by

Solution

expenditure in 2002 = 30

expenditure in 2003 = 40

%increase = $$\frac{40-30}{30}\times100=\frac{10}{30}\times100=33\frac{1}{3}$$%

so the answer is option A.

Question 6

The income in 2002 was equal to the expenditure in the year

Solution

Income in 2002 = 40 lakhs = Expenditure in 2003.

so the answer is option A.

Question 7

The number of years in which the income exceeds the average income is

Solution

Income in 2000 = 30lakhs

Income in 2001 = 50lakhs

Income in 2002 = 40lakhs

Income in 2003 = 60lakhs

Income in 2004 = 60lakhs

average income = $$\frac{30+50+40+60+60}{5}=\frac{240}{5}$$=48lakhs

income is more than 48lakhs in 2001, 2003 & 2006.

so the answer is option A.

Instructions

In the following questions, the following Bar Diagram shows the percentage of 7 coloured balls sold in 5 shops A, B, C, D and E. All the five shops sold an equal number of balls. Study the graph and answer all the questions.

Question 8

What percentage of total coloured balls is yellow balls?

Solution

Let us assume that each shop sells100 balls. Now, total number of balls = 500.
Total yellow balls = 20+5+15+0+30 = 70
Percentage = 70/500 = 14/100 = 14%.
Option C is the right answer.

Question 9

The ratio of total number of red balls sold to the total number of orange balls sold is :

Solution

Since all the shops sell the same number of balls, total number can be equated to total percentage (Since ratio is asked)
Total number of redballs sold = 0 + 35+0+ 20+ 45 = 100
Total number of orange balls sold = 30 + 30+ 35 + 50 = 145

Ratio = 100:145 = 20:29
Option D is the right answer.

Question 10

The difference between the sum of percentages of violet balls sold to the sum of percentages of blue balls sold is

Solution

Since all the shops sold equal number of balls and we are asked to find the ratio, we can directly use the percentages involved.
Total percentage of violet balls = 35+0+0+15+0 = 50
Total percentage of blue balls = 10+0+15+0+0 = 35
Difference in percentage = 15%

Option B is the right answer.

For the following questions answer them individually

Question 12

Among the equations x + 2y + 9 =0 ; 5x-4=0 ; 2y - 13 = 0; 2x- 3y = 0, the equation of the straight line passing through origin is

Solution

For a straight line to pass through origin, both of its x & y coordinates should be '0'.

(A) : 2x - 3y = 0

=> If x = y = 0, then L.H.S. = 0 = R.H.S

=> It passes through origin

(B) : x + 2y + 9 = 0

=> If x = y = 0, then L.H.S. = 9 $$\neq$$ R.H.S. = 0

=> It does not pass through origin

(C) : 5x - 4 = 0

=> If x = 0, then L.H.S. = -4 $$\neq$$ R.H.S. = 0

=> It does not pass through origin

(D) : 2y - 13 = 0

=> If y = 0, then L.H.S. = -13 $$\neq$$ R.H.S. = 0

=> It does not pass through origin

Ans - (A)

Question 14

If the total annual expenditure of family A is 30,000 then money spent on food, clothes and houserents is.

Solution

Total expenditure of family A = 30,000

Money spent on food = $$\frac{30}{100}$$ * 30,000 = 9,000

Money spent on clothes = $$\frac{15}{100}$$ * 30,000 = 4,500

Money spent on house rent = $$\frac{15}{100}$$ * 30,000 = 4,500

=> Total money spent on food, clothes and house rent = 9000+4500+4500

= 18,000

The pie chart given below shows the break-up of number of hours of teaching various subjects at an institute by Mr. Raghav.

Question 18

A new topic named Problem Solving was also introduced and it was decided that 10% time of all topics except Arithmetic will be devoted to it. What will be the central angle (in degrees) made by Problem Solving in the new pie chart?

Solution

Total time (in %) given to all topics except arithmetic = (100-46)% = 54%

=> Total time (in %) given to problem solving = $$\frac{10}{100}\times54=5.4\%$$

$$\therefore$$ Central angle = $$\frac{5.4}{100}\times360$$

= $$19.44^\circ$$

=> Ans - (C)

Question 19

If Data Interpretation and Modern Maths were taught for a combined time of 96 hours, then for how much time (in hours) were Number system and Geometry taught?

Solution

Time given to Data Interpretation and Modern Maths (in %) = 8+4 = 12%

Time given to Number system and Geometry taught (in %) = 23+6 = 29%

According to ques, => $$12\% \equiv 96$$ hours

=> $$29\% \equiv \frac{96}{12}\times29$$

= $$8\times29=232$$ hours

=> Ans - (D)

Question 20

Mr. Raghav taught Geometry for 36 hours. If the time taken in teaching Ratio consitutes one-fourth of the time for Arithmetic, then for how much time (in hours) did he taught the topic of Ratio?

Solution

Let total time taken = $$100x$$ hours

Time taken to teach Geometry = $$\frac{6}{100}\times100x=6x$$ hours

According to ques, => $$6x=36$$

=> $$x=\frac{36}{6}=6$$

=> Time taken to teach Arithmetic = $$\frac{46}{100}\times100x=46x$$ hours

= $$46\times6=276$$ hours

$$\therefore$$ Time required to teach ratio = $$\frac{276}{4}=69$$ hours

=> Ans - (C)

Question 21

If Mr. Raghav taught a total of 500 hours, then what is the difference in number of hours of teaching algebra and modern Maths?

Solution

Difference in time taken to teach algebra and modern Maths (in %) = 9-4 = 5%

Total time = 500 hours

=> Required time = $$\frac{5}{100}\times500$$

= 25 hours

=> Ans - (C)
