Answer

1. Answer : 4

Explanation : Required Percentage = $\frac{100 - 50}{50} \times 100$ = 100%

2. Answer : 4

Explanation : The average production of P = $\frac{60 + 90 + 50 + 100 + 80}{5}$ = 76

The average production of Q = $\frac{50 + 70 + 70 + 80 + 100}{5}$ = 74

The average production of R = $\frac{70 + 80 + 90 + 70 + 70}{5}$ = 76

Maximum average production = P and R both

3. Answer : 2

Explanation : The percentage rise in 2010 = $\frac{70 - 50}{50} \times 100$ = 40%

The percentage rise in 2011 = $\frac{70 - 70}{70} \times 100$ = 0%

The percentage rise in 2012 = $\frac{80 - 70}{70} \times 100$ = 14.28%

The percentage rise in 2013 = $\frac{100 - 80}{80} \times 100$ =25%

4. Answer : 2

Explanation : The percentage of production of Company R to production of Company Q

in 2009 = $\frac{70}{50} \times 100$ = 140

in 2010 = $\frac{80}{70} \times 100$ = 114.28

in 2011 = $\frac{90}{70} \times 100$ = 128.57

in 2012 = $\frac{70}{80} \times 100$ = 87.5

in 2013 = $\frac{70}{100} \times 100$ = 70

5. Answer : 1

Explanation : Average production of company P during the years 2011 to 2013 = $\frac{50 + 100 + 80}{3}$ = $\frac{230}{3}$

Average production of company Q during the years 2011 to 2013 = $\frac{70 + 80 + 100}{3}$ = $\frac{250}{3}$

Required ratio = 23 : 25
