A. 1                       B. 2                       C. 3                       D. 4

Answer

1. ANSWER : D 


Explanation - The ratio of imports to exports for the years 1998 and 1999 are 1.25 and 1.40 respectively. 


Let the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. x crores.  


Then, the exports in the year 1998 = Rs. (500 - x) crores. 


 250500-x = 1.25 => x = 300 crores      [ Using ratio for 1998 ]  


Thus, the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. 300 crores. 


 


Let the imports in the year 1999 = Rs. y crores.  


Then, Imports in the year 1999 = y300=1.4 => y = 420= Rs. 420 crores.


 


2. ANSWER : C


Explanation - The imports are minimum proportionate to the exports implies that the ratio of the value of imports to exports has the minimum value.


Now, this ratio has a minimum value 0.35 in 1997, i.e., the imports are minimum proportionate to the exports in 1997. 


 


3. ANSWER : D 


Explanation - The graph gives only the ratio of imports to exports for different years. To find the percentage increase in imports from 1997 to 1998, we require more details such as the value of imports or exports during these years. 


Hence, the data is inadequate to answer this question. 


 


4. ANSWER : B 


Explanation -  Ratio of imports to exports in the year 1996 = 0.85. 


Let the exports in 1996 = Rs. x crores. 


Then , 272x = 0.85 => x = 320  


Exports in 1996 = Rs. 320 crores.  


 


5. ANSWER : D  


Explanation - The exports are more than the imports imply that the ratio of value of imports to exports is less than 1.Now, this ratio is less than 1 in years 1995, 1996, 1997 and 2000. 


Thus, there are four such years.

5. The quantity of Orange at Shop A is what percent more than that of Apple at Shop B ?

1. 161.52%     2. 195.5%     3. 182%         4. 190%         5. 171.42%

Answer

1. Answer : 1


Explanation :  Quantity of Guava at Shop A = 1200×10100 = 120 kg 


Quantity of Guava at Shop B = 1000×16100= 160 kg


Therefore, Required difference = 160 - 120 = 40 kg


 


2. Answer : 2


Explanation : Cost of Mango at Shop A = 30×1200×24100= Rs. 8640 


Cost of Apple = 40×1200×16100 = Rs. 7680 


Cost of Orange = 20×1200×20100 = Rs.4800 


Therefore, Required Ratio = 8640 : 6780 : 4800  = 9 : 8 : 5 


 


3. Answer : 3 


Explanation : Quantity of Mango at Shop B = 1000×24100 = 240 kg 


Quantity of Mango at Shop A =1200×24100 = 288 kg


 Therefore, Req % = 288×100240 = 120% of the quantity of Mango at Shop A


 


4. Answer : 4 


Explanation : Cost of total fruits at Shop A = Cost of Mango + Cost of Apple + Cost of Guava + Cost of orange + Cost of other fruits


 =1200×24100×30 + 1200×16100×40 + 1200×10100×18 + 1200×20100×20 + 1200×30100×15 


= Rs. 28680 


Cost of Total Fruits at Shop B


=1000×24100×30 + 1000×14100×40 + 1000×16100×18 + 1000×20100×20 + 1000×26100×15


= 7200 + 5600 + 2880 + 4000 + 3900 


= Rs. 23580


Therefore, Req.difference = 28680 - 23580 = Rs.5100


 


5. Answer : 5


Explanation: Quantity of Orange at Shop A = 1200×20100 = 240 kg 


Quantity of Apple at Shop B =1000×14100 = 140 kg


 Therefore, Req % = 240×100140 = 171.42% more than the quantity of Apple at Shop B.

A. 173                       B. 164                       C. 132                       D. 97

Answer

1. ANSWERS  : D  


Explanation-   Required difference = (128000 - 107000) = 21000.


 


2. ANSWERS  : C  


Explanation-  From the line-graph it is clear that the productions of Company X in the   years 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 are 119000, 99000, 141000, 78000, 120000 and 159000 and those of Company Y are 139000, 120000,100000, 128000, 107000 and 148000 respectively. 


Total production of Company X from 1997 to 2002 


= 119000 + 99000 + 141000 + 78000 + 120000 + 159000 


= 716000. 


and total production of Company Y from 1997 to 2002 


= 139000 + 120000 + 100000 + 128000 + 107000 + 148000 


= 742000. 


Difference = (742000 - 716000) = 26000.


 


3. ANSWERS  : A 


Explanation-  Average number of vehicles manufactured by Company X  


16×119000+99000+141000+78000+120000+159000 


 = 119333.


 


4. ANSWERS  : D  


Explanation-   The difference between the productions of Companies X and Y in various years are: 


 For 1997 (139000 - 119000)  = 20000. 


 For 1998 (120000 - 99000)  = 21000. 


 For 1999 (141000 - 100000)  = 41000. 


 For 2000 (128000 - 78000) = 50000. 


 For 2001 (120000 - 107000) = 13000. 


 For 2002 (159000 - 148000) = 11000. 


 Clearly, maximum difference was in 2000.
