Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
There are various sectors in India that are to be assessed for their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
The total population is over 1 billion which will increase to 1.46 billion by 2035 to cross China. The huge population will result in higher unemployment and deterioration of quality. Literacy, in India is yet another factor to be discussed. According to 1991 census, 64.8% of the population was illiterate. The major downtrend of education is due to child labour which has spread all over India and this should be totally eradicated by way of surveillance and a good educational system implemented properly by the Government. Pollution is one more threat to the environment and for the country’s prospects. This has been experienced more in urban areas mainly in metropolitan cities. The water pollution by the sewage seepage into the ground water and improper maintenance will lead to various diseases which in turn will affect the next generation. In most of the cities there is no proper sewage disposal. The Government has to take effective steps to control population which, in turn, will minimize the pollution. Poverty questions the entire strength of India’s political view and minimizes the energetic way of approach. The shortfall of rains, enormous floods, unexpected famine, drought, earthquake and the recent tsunami hit the country in a negative way. The proactive approach through effective research and analytical study helps us to determine the effects in advance. Proper allocation of funds is a prerequisite. In developed countries like. U.S., Japan precautionary methods are adopted to overcome this, but it has to be improved a lot in our systems. Increased population is one of the major reasons for poverty and the Government is unable to allocate funds for basic needs to the society. India has nearly 400 million people living below the poverty line and 90% of active population is in informal economy. The children are forced to work due to their poverty and differential caste system. They work in match industry for daily wages, as servants, mechanics, stone breakers, agricultural workers, etc. To prevent child labour, existing laws which favour the Anti Child Labour Act should be implemented by the Government vigorously. More population results in cheap cost by virtue of the demand supply concept. Most of the foreign countries try to utilize this factor by outsourcing their business in India with a very low capital. According to U.S., India is a “Knowledge pool” with cheap labour. The major advantage is our communication and technical skill which is adaptable to any environment. The cutting edge skill in IT of our professionals helps the outsourcing companies to commensurate with the needs of the consumers in a short span. The major competitors for India are China and Philippines and by the way of an effective communication and expert technical ability, Indians are ahead of the race. The major Metropolitan states are targeting the outsourcing field vigorously by giving various amenities to the outsourcing companies like tax concession, allotting land etc., to start their businesses in its cities without any hurdles. Thereby most of the MNCs prefer India as their destinations and capitalize the resources to maximize their assets. Infrastructure is another key factor for an outsourcing company to start a business in a particular city. It includes road, rail, ports, power and water. The increased input in infrastructure in India is very limited where China’s record is excellent. India in earlier days gave more importance to the development of industry and less importance to other departments. But the scenario has quite changed nowadays by allocating a special budget of funds for security. This is because of the frightening increase in terrorism all around the world especially emerging after the 9/11 terror attack in U.S. In the last ten years, budget towards the development of military forces is higher when compared to others. It shows that the threat from our neighbouring countries is escalating. India has to concentrate more on this security factor to wipe out the problem in the way of cross border terrorism. Making India, a developed country in 2020 is not an easy task. India has to keep in check a variety of factors in order to progress rapidly. To quote China as an example is that they demolished an old building to construct a very big port to meet future demands, but India is still waiting for things to happen. The profits gained by India through various sectors are to be spent for the development and welfare of the country. India’s vision for a brighter path will come true not only by mere words or speech, but extra effort needed at all levels to overcome the pitfalls.

For the following questions answer them individually
Tanvi started a business investing Rs. 45,000. After 8 months Anisha joined her with a capital of Rs. 52,000. At the end of the year the total profit was Rs. 56,165. What is the share of profits of Anisha ?
Solution
Tanvi invested Rs. 45,000 for 12 months
Anisha invested Rs. 52,000 for 4 months
Ratio of profit received by Tanvi and Anisha
= $$(45000 \times 12) : (52000 \times 4)$$
= $$(45 \times 3) : (52) = 135 : 52$$
Total profit = Rs. 56,165
$$\therefore$$ Anita's share of profit = $$\frac{52}{135 + 52} \times 56165$$
$$\approx 52 \times 300 = Rs. 15,600$$
By how much is 1/4 th of 428 smaller than 5/6 th of 216 ?
Solution
To find : $$(\frac{5}{6} \times 216) - (\frac{1}{4} \times 428)$$
= $$(5 \times 36) - (107)$$
= $$180 - 107 = 73$$
One-third of a number is 96. What will 67% of that number be ?
Solution
Let number = $$3x$$
Acc. to ques, => $$\frac{1}{3} \times 3x = 96$$
=> $$x = 96$$
Number = $$3 \times 96 = 288$$
$$\therefore$$ 67% of the number = $$\frac{67}{100} \times 288$$
= $$192.96$$
In a class of 35 students and 6 teachers, each student got sweets that are 20% of the total number of students and each teacher got sweets that are 40% of the total number of students. How many sweets were there ?
Solution
Number of students = 35 and number of teachers = 6
Sweets received by each student = $$\frac{20}{100} \times 35 = 7$$
Sweets received by each teacher = $$\frac{40}{100} \times 35 = 14$$
$$\therefore$$ Total sweets = $$(35 \times 7) + (6 \times 14)$$
= $$245 + 84 = 329$$
Prithvi spent Rs. 89,745 on his college fees, Rs.51,291 on Personality Development Classes and the remaining 27% of the total amount he had as cash with him. What was the total amount ?
Solution
Let the total amount with Prithvi = $$Rs. 100x$$
% amount spent = $$73 \%$$ = $$\frac{73}{100} \times 100x = 73x$$
Total amount spent = 89,745 + 51,291 = 1,41,036
=> $$73x = 141036$$
=> $$x = \frac{141036}{73} = 1932$$
$$\therefore$$ Total amount = $$100 \times 1932 = Rs. 1,93,200$$
The compound interest accrued on an amount of Rs. 22,000 at the end of two years is Rs. 5,596.8. What would be the simple interest accrued on the same amount at the same rate in the same period ?
Solution
C.I. = $$Rs. 5,596.8$$
=> $$P [(1 + \frac{R}{100})^T - 1] = 5596.8$$
=> $$22,000 [(1 + \frac{R}{100})^2 - 1] = 5596.8$$
=> $$[(1 + \frac{R}{100})^2 - 1] = \frac{5596.8}{22000} = 0.2544$$
=> $$(1 + \frac{R}{100})^2 = 0.2544 + 1 = 1.2544$$
=> $$1 + \frac{R}{100} = \sqrt{1.2544} = 1.12$$
=> $$\frac{R}{100} = 1.12 - 1 = 0.12$$
=> $$R = 0.12 \times 100 = 12 \%$$
$$\therefore S.I. = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$$
= $$\frac{22000 \times 12 \times 2}{100}$$
= $$220 \times 24 = Rs. 5,280$$
The product of two successive numbers is 4032. Which is the greater of the two numbers ?
Solution
Let the two successive numbers = $$x , (x + 1)$$
Product = $$x \times (x + 1) = 4032$$
=> $$x^2 + x - 4032 = 0$$
=> $$x^2 + 64x - 63x - 4032 = 0$$
=> $$(x - 63) (x + 64) = 0$$
=> $$x = 63$$
$$\therefore$$ Larger number = $$x + 1 = 63 + 1 = 64$$
The ages of Sonal and Nitya are in the ratio of 9 : 5 respectively. After 8 years the ratio of their ages will be 13 : 9. What is the difference in years between their ages ?
Solution
Let Sonal's age = $$9x$$ years
=> Nitya's age = $$5x$$ years
Acc. to ques, => $$\frac{9x + 8}{5x + 8} = \frac{13}{9}$$
=> $$81x + 72 = 65x + 104$$
=> $$16x = 104 - 72 = 32$$
=> $$x = \frac{32}{16} = 2$$
$$\therefore$$ Difference in ages = $$9x - 5x = 4x$$
= $$4 \times 2 = 8$$ years
30 men can do a piece of work in 16 days. How many men would be required to do the same work in 20 days ?
Solution
Using : $$M_1 D_1 = M_2 D_2$$
30 men can do a piece of work in 16 days
=> $$M_1 = 30 , D_1 = 16$$ and $$D_2 = 20$$
Let $$M_2$$ men finish the same work in 20 days
=> $$30 \times 16 = M_2 \times 20$$
=> $$M_2 = \frac{480}{20} = 24$$
The profit earned after selling an article for Rs. 1,516 is the same as loss incurred after selling the article for Rs. 1,112. What is the cost price of the article ?
Solution
Let C.P. = $$Rs. x$$
Case 1 : If S.P. = $$Rs. 1,516$$
=> Profit = $$S.P. - C.P. = (1516 - x)$$
Case 2 : If S.P. = $$Rs. 1,112$$
=> Profit = $$C.P. - S.P. = (x - 1112)$$
Acc. to ques, => $$1516 - x = x - 1112$$
=> $$2x = 1516 + 1112 = 2628$$
=> $$x = \frac{2628}{2} = Rs. 1,314$$

Study the following riraph carefully and answer the questions given below : Units of Raw Material Manufactured and Sold by a Company Over the Years (Units in Crores)
What is the average number of units sold over the years ?
Solution
Number of units sold over the years
= 3.5 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 6.5 = 22 crores
=> Required average = $$\frac{22}{5}$$ crores
= 4.4 crores = 4,40,00,000
What is the respective ratio of the difference between the number of units manufactured and sold in the year 2005 to the difference between the number of units manufactured and sold in the year 2006 ?
Solution
Number of units manufactured in the year 2005 = 5.5
Number of units sold in the year 2005 = 5
=> Difference = 5.5 - 5 = 0.5
Number of units manufactured in the year 2006 = 5
Number of units sold in the year 2006 = 3
=> Difference = 5 - 3 = 2
$$\therefore$$ Required ratio = 0.5 : 2 = 5 : 20
= 1 : 4
What is the respective ratio of the number of units manufactured in the year 2003 to the number of units manufactured in the year 2007 ?
Solution
Number of units manufactured in the year 2003 = 4.5
Number of units manufactured in the year 2007 = 7
=> Required ratio = 4.5 : 7 = 45 : 70
= 9 : 14
What is the approximate per cent increase in the number of units sold in the year 2007 from the previous year ?
Solution
Number of units sold in the year 2007 = 6.5
Number of units sold in the year 2006 = 3
=> Required % increase = $$\frac{6.5 - 3}{3} \times 100$$
= $$\frac{350}{3} = 117.33 \%$$
$$\approx 117 \%$$
What is the difference between the number of units manufactured and the number of units sold over the years ?
Solution
Number of units manufactured over the years
= 4.5 + 5 + 5.5 + 5 + 7 = 27 crores
Number of units sold over the years
= 3.5 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 6.5 = 22 crores
=> Required difference = 27 - 22 = 5 crores
= 5,00,00,000

=> Required ratio = 775 : 625 = 31 : 25
What is the respective ratio of total number of students studying B.Sc B.A and B.Com. in all the Colleges together ?
Solution
Total number of students studying B.Sc in all the Colleges together
= 375 + 350 + 325 + 400 + 450 = 1900
Total number of students studying B.A in all the Colleges together
= 300 + 325 + 350 + 475 + 350 = 1800
Total number of students studying B.Com. in all Colleges together
= 450 + 480 + 350 + 450 + 250 = 1980
=> Required ratio = 1900 : 1800 : 1980
= 95 : 90 : 99
Number of students studying B.Com in College C forms approximately what percent of the total number of students studying B.Com. in all Colleges together ?
Solution
Number of students studying B.Com in College C = 350
Total number of students studying B.Com. in all Colleges together
= 450 + 480 + 350 + 450 + 250 = 1980
=> Required % = $$\frac{350}{1980} \times 100$$
= $$17.67 \% \approx 17 \%$$
Number of students studying B.A in College B forms what per cent of total number of students studying all the disciplines together in that College? (rounded off two digits after decimal )
Solution
Number of students studying B.A in College B = 325
Total number of students studying all the disciplines together in College B = 325 + 350 + 480 = 1155
=> Required % = $$\frac{325}{1155} \times 100 = 28.13 \%$$
Each question below is followed by two statements A and B. You are to determine whether the data given in the statement is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers.
Give answer a: if the statement A alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement B alone is not sufficient.
Give answer b: if the statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement A alone is not sufficient.
Give answer c: if both statements A and B together are needed to answer the question.
Give answer d: if either the statement A alone or statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer e: if you cannot get the answer from the statements A and B together, but need even more data.
Is A an odd number?
A. A multiplied by an odd number is equal to an odd number.
B. A is not divisible by 2.
Solution
Statement A : A number when multiplied by an odd number results in an odd number, this can only be possible iff the number is an odd number.
Thus, yes, A is an odd number.
Statement A alone is sufficient.
Statement B : Any number which is not divisible by 2 is an odd number.
Thus, A is an odd number.
Statement B alone is also sufficient.
$$\therefore$$ Either statement alone is sufficient.
The ages of Pradumn and Gunit are in the ratio of 7 : 5 . What is the age of Pradumn.
A. The ages of Pradumn and Nandini are in the ratio of 3 :1.
B. After 7 years the ratio of Pradumn’s and Aviral’s ages will be 4: 3.
Solution
Let age of Pradumn = $$21x$$
=> Age of Gunit = $$15x$$
Statement A : Ratio of Pradumn and Nandini's age = 3 : 1
Since, Pradumn's age = $$21x$$
=> Nandini's age = $$7x$$
We cannot find Pradumn's exact age. Thus, this statement alone is insufficient.
Similarly, statement B alone is not sufficient.
Even if we combine both statement,the same problem arises.
Thus, both statements even together are not sufficient.
What is the salary of B, in a group of A, B , C and D whose average salary is Rs. 62,880?
A. Total of the salary of A and C is exact multiple of 8.
B. Average of the salary of A. C and D is Rs. 61,665.
Solution
Average salary of the 4 persons = Rs. 62,880
=> Total salary = $$A + B + C + D = 62,880 \times 4 = 2,51,520$$ -----------(i)
Statement A : There is no information about the salary of D. Thus, we can't find the salary of B
Statement A alone is not sufficient.
Statement B : Average of A,C and D = Rs. 61,665
=> $$A + C + D = 61,665 \times 3 = 1,84,995$$ ----------------(ii)
Subtracting eqn (ii) from (i)
=> $$B = 2,51,520 - 1,84,995 = 66,525$$
Thus, statement B alone is sufficient.
What is the three digit number?
A. The three digit number is divisible by 9.
B. The first and the third digit is 6.
Solution
Statement A : The three digit number is divisible by 9. There are many possibilities.
Statement B : First and last digit of the number is 6. There are still many possibilities = 606,616,626,...
Combining both statements, we get that the number is of the form = $$6 x 6$$
For the number to be divisible by 9, $$6 + x + 6 = (12 + x)$$ should be divisible by 9.
The only possibility is if $$x = 6$$
Three digit number = 666
Thus, both statements are required to answer the question.
What is the profit earned by selling a printer for Rs. 3,000?
A. The cost price of 6 such printers is equal to selling price of 5 such printers.
B. 20% profit is earned by selling each printer.
Solution
S.P. = $$Rs. 3,000$$
Statement A : Let C.P. of 1 printer = $$Rs. x$$
=> $$6x = 5 \times 3000$$
=> $$x = 5 \times 500 = Rs. 2,500$$
=> Profit = $$3,000 - 2,500 = Rs. 500$$
Thus, statement A is sufficient.
Statement B : Profit % = 20 %
Let C.P. of 1 printer = $$Rs. x$$
=> $$x + \frac{20}{100} x = 3000$$
=> $$\frac{6 x}{5} = 3000$$
=> $$x = 5 \times 500 = Rs. 2,500$$
=> Profit = $$3,000 - 2,500 = Rs. 500$$
Thus, statement B is sufficient.
$$\therefore$$ Either statement alone is sufficient.
Study the following information carefully to answer the questions.
The teachers’ colony has 2800 members, out of which 650 members read only English newspaper. 550 members read only Hindi newspaper and 450 members read only Marathi newspaper. The number of members reading all the 3 newspapers is 100. Members reading Hindi as well as English newspaper are 200. 400 members read Hindi as well as Marathi newspaper and 300 members read English as well as Marathi newspaper.
Find the difference between number of members reading English as well as Marathi newspaper and the number of members reading English as well as Hindi newspaper.
Solution
People who read only English = $$a = 650$$
Similarly, $$c = 550$$
$$g = 450$$
People who read all three newspapers = $$e = 100$$
Also, people who read English and Hindi = $$b + e = 200$$
=> $$b = 200 - 100 = 100$$
Similarly, $$d = 200$$
$$f = 300$$
Number of members reading English as well as Marathi newspaper = $$d + e$$
= $$200 + 100 = 300$$
Number of members reading English as well as Hindi newspaper = $$b + e$$
= $$100 + 100 = 200$$
=> Required difference = $$300 - 200 = 100$$
How many members read at least 2 newspapers ?
Solution
People who read only English = $$a = 650$$
Similarly, $$c = 550$$
$$g = 450$$
People who read all three newspapers = $$e = 100$$
Also, people who read English and Hindi = $$b + e = 200$$
=> $$b = 200 - 100 = 100$$
Similarly, $$d = 200$$
$$f = 300$$
Members who read at least two newspapers = $$b + d + e + f$$
= $$100 + 200 + 100 + 300 = 700$$
Find the number of members reading Hindi newspaper.
Solution
People who read only English = $$a = 650$$
Similarly, $$c = 550$$
$$g = 450$$
People who read all three newspapers = $$e = 100$$
Also, people who read English and Hindi = $$b + e = 200$$
=> $$b = 200 - 100 = 100$$
Similarly, $$d = 200$$
$$f = 300$$
Members who read Hindi newspaper = $$b + c + e + f$$
= $$100 + 550 + 100 + 300 = 1050$$
How many members read only one newspaper ?
Solution
People who read only English = $$a = 650$$
Similarly, $$c = 550$$
$$g = 450$$
People who read all three newspapers = $$e = 100$$
Also, people who read English and Hindi = $$b + e = 200$$
=> $$b = 200 - 100 = 100$$
Similarly, $$d = 200$$
$$f = 300$$
Members who read only 1 newspaper = $$a + c + g$$
= $$650 + 550 + 450 = 1650$$
Find the number of members reading no newspaper.
Solution
People who read only English = $$a = 650$$
Similarly, $$c = 550$$
$$g = 450$$
People who read all three newspapers = $$e = 100$$
Also, people who read English and Hindi = $$b + e = 200$$
=> $$b = 200 - 100 = 100$$
Similarly, $$d = 200$$
$$f = 300$$
Number of people who do not read any newspaper = $$h$$
Here, $$a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h = 2800$$
=> $$650 + 100 + 550 + 200 + 100 + 300 + 450 + h = 2800$$
=> $$h = 2800 - 2350 = 450$$

What is the respective ratio of the number of computers manufactured by companies A and C together to the number of computers sold by companies A and C together ?
Solution
Number of computers manufactured by companies A and C together = 10 + 7.5 = 17.5
Number of computers sold by companies A and C together = 7.5 + 5 = 12.5
=> Required ratio = 17.5 : 12.5
= 175 : 125 = 7 : 5
What is the difference between the average number of computers manufactured by all the companies together and the average number of computers sold by all the companies together ?
Solution
Total number of computers manufactured by all the companies together
= 10 + 15 + 7.5 + 22.5 + 30 = 85 lakhs
Total number of computers sold by all the companies together
= 7.5 + 12.5 + 5 + 17.5 + 25 = 67.5 lakhs
Difference = 85 - 67.5 = 17.5 lakhs
=> Required average = $$\frac{17,50,000}{5} = 3,50,000$$
The number of computers sold by company B are what per cent of the number of computers manufactured by company B ? (rounded off to two digits after decimal)
Solution
Number of computers sold by company B = 12.5
Number of computers manufactured by company B = 15
=> Required % = $$\frac{12.5}{15} \times 100$$
= $$\frac{250}{3} = 83.33 \%$$
The number of computers manufactured by company D are what per cent of the number of computers manufactured by company E ?
Solution
Number of computers manufactured by company D = 22.5
Number of computers manufactured by company E = 30
=> Required % = $$\frac{22.5}{30} \times 100$$
= $$7.5 \times 10 = 75 \%$$
The number of computers manufactured by company B are approximately what per cent of the number of computers manufactured by all the companies together ?
Solution
Number of computers manufactured by company B (in lakhs) = 15
Number of computers manufactured by all the companies together (in lakhs)
= 10 + 15 + 7.5 + 22.5 + 30 = 85
=> Required % = $$\frac{15}{85} \times 100$$
= $$17.64 \% \approx 18 \%$$
