Answer

1. Answer : 2


Explanation : Productivity = Total production/area of Agr.land 


Productivity of UP = [ (35000+30000+25000) / (30/100) ] = 300000  


Productivity of MP = [ (30000+37500+27500) / (25/100) ] = 380000  


Productivity of Bihar = [ (22500+27500+25000) / (20/100) ] = 375000 


Productivity of Odisha = [ (22500+15000+10000) / (5/100) ]= 950000  


Productivity of Haryana = [ (30000+25000+35000) / (8/100) ] = 1125000  


Productivity of Punjab = [ (40000+35000+30000) / (12/100) ] = 875000 


The Productivity of Haryana is the maximum.

Production of Maize in Odisha = 10000 tones


Required % = (40000 - 10000)/100 = 300% 


 


 


4. Answer : 4 


Explanation : The ratio of prodution of Rice in Bihar to the production of Wheat in Haryana = 25000 tonnes : 25000 tonnes = 1 : 1  


 


 


5. Answer : 1  


Explanation : Income of MP from export of 40% of Rice at the rate of Rs.30 per kg = Rs.39crore


Income of UP from export of 30% of Rice at the rate of Rs.32 per kg = Rs.28.8 crore 


Required ratio = 39 : 28.8 = 390 : 288 = 65 : 48

Q:

Modern : Antiquated :: Weak : ?

A) Strong B) Fragile
C) Inadequate D) Puny
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Strong

Modern is used to refer to something new whereas antiquated is used with respect to something old.

In other words, both terms are the opposite of each other.


From the above analysis, the missing word should be a word that represents the opposite of weak. Strong is used to with great influence. Therefore, the apt word is strong or any synonym of strong like potent, powerful, keen,...

Q:

3 men, 4 women and 6 children can complete a work in 7 days. A woman does double the work a man does and a child does half the work a man does. How many women alone can complete this work in 7 days  ?

A) 6 B) 9
C) 5 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7

Explanation:

Let 1 woman's 1 day work = x.

Then, 1 man's 1 day work = x/2 and 1 child's 1 day work  x/4.

So, (3x/2 + 4x + + 6x/4) = 1/7

28x/4 = 1/7 => x = 1/49

1 woman alone can complete the work in 49 days.

So, to complete the work in 7 days, number of women required = 49/7 = 7.

Q:

Ram sell his goods 25% cheaper than Shyam and 25% dearer than Bram. How much % is Bram's good cheaper than Shyam ?

A) 60% B) 40%
C) 50% D) 30%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40%

Explanation:

Lets say shyam sells at 100,

 

Since Ram sells 25% cheaper than Shyam,

 

Therefor Ram sells at less than 25% of100 or 75 rs.

 

Ram sells 25% dearer than Bram or 125% of Ram =100% of Bram or

 

125% of x (say x price of bram )=75rs.
or 100% of x =60rs.
hence price of bram is 60rs.

 

now Bram's good is cheaper than Shyam's as (100-60)x100/100% or 40%.

 

Hence Brams Good is 40% cheaper than that of Shyam's good.
