X= % = 50%

Highest of these is 86.67% corresponding to institute R.

3. ANSWER : C

Explanation - Required difference = [(16% + 18%) of 5700] - [(8% + 10%) of 8550]

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

=

= Rs. 28680

Cost of Total Fruits at Shop B

=

= 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.

Expenditure on Machine and Electricity of Company A = $5000000×12100$ = Rs.600000 = 6 lakh

Therefore, Required % = $1080000-600000600000×100$  % = $4860×100$% = 80%

Hence expenditure of Company B is 80% more than Company A.
