ANSWER KEY AND EXPLANATIONS
1. (c) We can easily solve this problem by checking 7. (b) Esha> Dinesh > Bharat ... (i)
the options. Average annual expenses for A = Dinesh >Charu>Aman>Fulwa .... (ii)
(105+185+100+120+110)/5 = 124. Bharat >Aman .... (iii)
Average annual expenses for B = After combining equations (i), (ii) and (iii), we
(135+115+130+125+135)/(5 )=128 get that Esha has climbed the highest position.
Average annual expenses for C =
(165+155+190+100+100)/5 = 142 Hints (Q.8-Q.10):
Average annual expenses are the maximum
for company C. Women Men
2. (b) By checking the options we can see that Fiza Ram
average annual revenue is the maximum for Kavita Shyam
the David
year 2012. Peter
3. (c) Revenue of company C in 2012 = 180 Rahim
Revenue of company C in 2015 = 120
Percentage decline in the revenue = (180- 8. (b) Peter, Shyam and Rahim is become feasible if
120)/180 ×100=33.33% Shyam is there & Ram is not there Shyam&
4. (c) Average revenue of A in 2011, 2012, 2013 = Rahim together If Peter no David No David, no
(120+135+165)/3 = 140 Kavita.
Average revenue of B in 2013, 2014, 2015 = 9. (c) Shyam, Rahim, Fiza, David Shyam and Rahim
(165+150+165)/3 = 160 together Shyam with no Ram David without
Difference = (160 - 140) × 1000 = 20,000. Peter Fiza with David’s demand
5. (b) By checking the options we can see that the 10. (d) If Kavita
rise in profit is the maximum for 2013. =>david is there => No Peter => No Ram
6. (d) is the correct answer. Hence (a) is not possible If Kavita then David,
no Peter no Ram. Fiza will be the fourth
member . Again not possible A group of 4
cannot be possible.
So, none of the options is correct
