= (272 + 240 + 236 + 256 + 288) - (200 + 224 + 248 + 272 + 260)
= 88.
3.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Number of Managers working in the Company:
In 1995 = 760.
In 2000 = (760 + 280 + 179 + 148 + 160 + 193) - (120 + 92 + 88 + 72 + 96)
= 1252.
Percentage increase in the number of Managers
(1252 - 760)
= x 100 % = 64.74%.
760
Number of Technicians working in the Company:
In 1995 = 1200.
In 2000 = (1200 + 272 + 240 + 236 + 256 + 288) -
(120 + 128 + 96 + 100 + 112)
= 1936.
Percentage increase in the number of Technicians
(1936 - 1200)
= x 100 % = 61.33%.
1200
Number of Operators working in the Company:
In 1995 = 880.
In 2000 = (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248) -
(104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144)
= 1444.
Percentage increase in the number of Operators
(1444 - 880)
= x 100 % = 64.09%.
880
Number of Accountants working in the Company:
In 1995 = 1160.
In 2000 = (1160 + 200 + 224 + 248 + 272 + 260) -
(100 + 104 + 96 + 88 + 92)
= 1884.
Percentage increase in the number of Accountants
(1884 - 1160)
= x 100 % = 62.41%.
1160
Number of Peons working in the Company:
In 1995 = 820.
In 2000 = (820 + 184 + 152 + 196 + 224 + 200) -
(96 + 88 + 80 + 120 + 104)
= 1288.
Percentage increase in the number of Peons
(1288 - 820)
= x 100 % = 57.07%.
820
Clearly, the percentage increase is maximum in case of Managers.
4.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Total number of employees of various categories working in the Company in 1997

are:
Managers = (760 + 280 + 179) - (120 + 92) = 1007.
Technicians = (1200 + 272 + 240) - (120 + 128) = 1464.
Operators = (880 + 256 + 240) - (104 + 120) = 1152.
Accountants = (1160 + 200 + 224) - (100 + 104) = 1380.
Peons = (820 + 184 + 152) - (96 + 88) = 972.
Pooled average of all the five categories of employees working in the Company in
1997

(450 - 450)
For 2001 = x 100 % = 0%.
450
Clearly, the maximum percentage rise/fall is for 1997.
3.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Important data noted from the given graph:
In 1996 : Number of students left = 250 and number of students joined = 350.
Therefore, the numbers of students studying in the school (i.e., strength of the
school) in various years:
In 1995 = 3000 (given).
In 1996 = 3000 - 250 + 350 = 3100.
In 1997 = 3100 - 450 + 300 = 2950.
In 1998 = 2950 - 400 + 450 = 3000.
In 1999 = 3000 - 350 + 500 = 3150.

In 2000 = 3150 - 450 + 400 = 3100.
In 2001 = 3100 - 450 + 550 = 3200.
Percentage increase in the strength of the school from 1997 to 1998

Year Managers Technicians Operators Accountants Peons

Total number of Peons working in the Company in 1999

In 2000 = (760 + 280 + 179 + 148 + 160 + 193) - (120 + 92 + 88 + 72 + 96)

Percentage increase in the number of Managers

In 2000 = (1200 + 272 + 240 + 236 + 256 + 288) -

(120 + 128 + 96 + 100 + 112)

In 2000 = (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248) -

(104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144)

Percentage increase in the number of Operators

In 2000 = (1160 + 200 + 224 + 248 + 272 + 260) -

(100 + 104 + 96 + 88 + 92)

Percentage increase in the number of Accountants

In 2000 = (820 + 184 + 152 + 196 + 224 + 200) -

(96 + 88 + 80 + 120 + 104)

Clearly, the percentage increase is maximum in case of Managers.

Total number of employees of various categories working in the Company in 1997

Managers = (760 + 280 + 179) - (120 + 92) = 1007.

Technicians = (1200 + 272 + 240) - (120 + 128) = 1464.

Operators = (880 + 256 + 240) - (104 + 120) = 1152.

Accountants = (1160 + 200 + 224) - (100 + 104) = 1380.

Peons = (820 + 184 + 152) - (96 + 88) = 972.

= (104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144)

= (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248)

4. In which year was the percentage of production of Company Z to the

5. What is the percentage increase in the production of Company Y from 1996 to

Percentage change (rise/fall) in the production of Company Y in comparison to the

Hence, the maximum percentage rise/fall in the production of Company Y is for

Average production of Company X in the period 1998-2000

Average production of Company Y in the period 1998-2000

The percentages of production of Company Z to the production of Company Z for

Clearly, this percentage is highest for 1996.

5. Royalty on the book is less than the printing cost by:

B. Paper Cost and Royalty

C. Binding Cost and Printing Cost

9. Which two expenditures together have central angle of 108°?

B. Printing Cost and Paper Cost

C. Royalty and Promotion Cost

D. Binding Cost and Paper Cost

Clearly, marked price of the book = 120% of C.P.

Let the cost of paper for a single book be Rs. n.

For the publisher to earn a profit of 25%, S.P. = 125% of C.P.

Also Transportation Cost = 10% of C.P.

Let the S.P. of 5500 books be Rs. x.

= 5% of the total expenditure.

From the given chart it is clear that:

Paper Cost - Printing Cost = (25% - 20%) of the total expenditure

= 5% of the total expenditure.

Clearly, S.P. of the book = 105% of C.P.

= 30% of the total expenditure.

Binding Cost + Transportation Cost = (20% + 10%) of the total expenditure

= 30% of the total expenditure.

1. The number of students studying in the school during 1999 was?

B. 1998 and 2000

D. 1996 and 2000

Clearly, the maximum percentage rise/fall is for 1997.

In 1995 = 3000 (given).

In 1996 = 3000 - 250 + 350 = 3100.

In 1997 = 3100 - 450 + 300 = 2950.

In 1998 = 2950 - 400 + 450 = 3000.

In 1999 = 3000 - 350 + 500 = 3150.

In 2001 = 3100 - 450 + 550 = 3200.

Percentage increase in the strength of the school from 1997 to 1998
