5. First statement is true as the sales of only Fashion 12. Let the cost of an ornament be at
Lulukkas = 4x
decreased and increased in alternate years.
Hanisq = 5x
To check statement (2) more calculation is involved. So we Krishna = 3x
first check the statement (3). Meenu = 6x
In every year the sales of Slick is the least so the total sales Amount spent on gold
of Slick is not the highest for the given period. 15 60 x
Lulukkas =  4x 
So we can eliminate choices (B), (C) and (D). 100 100
So choice (A) is correct. Choice (A) 25 125 x
Hanisq =  5x 

P, Q, R and S respectively. Let the sales of Fashion, Krishna =  3x 
Style-100, CD-60 and Slick be a, b, c and d respectively. 100 100
We know that S > Q > P > R. The total sales value of 25 150 x
Meenu =  6x 
Fashion and Slick = aP + dS. 100 100
Total sales value of style-100 and CD-60 = bQ + cR. The least amount is spent by Krishna. Choice (D)
We know that P > R and S > Q so aP + dS > bQ + cR when

14. Let the cost of ornaments be 2x and 3x. 18. Consumption of rice in 2014 = 105 million tonnes
Therefore, the ratio of the amount spent by Hanisq and
Export of rice in 2017 = 75 million tonnes

15. The highest percentage difference for Lulukkas and 19. Export of rice in 2014 = 70 million tonnes
Krishna under any head is for the gold used. If the selling Export of wheat in 2014 = 75 million tonnes
price per watch by Lullukas and Krishna is x and y The difference = 5 million tonnes Choice (A)
respectively,
0.10y > 0.15x 20. For what, we need to only check for 2016 as in other years,
y 15
> the production is decreasing or remaining the same while
x 10 the consumption is increasing.
 y is at least 50% more than x. Choice (B)
Consumption is increasing.
Solutions for questions 16 to 20:
