ANSWER KEY 2019
Graphs / Charts
1. c.) 2008
We're looking for a year in which over
2/3 of the students failed. In fact we're
looking for a year in which less than a
third of the students passed.
There are two years that match the
criteria: 2008 and 2010, but only 2008
appear as an optional answer.
2. c.) 30
This question looks for a percentage
rather than an absolute number.
Therefore, the number we choose for
carrying the calculation is arbitrary!
We could also just use x or any other
number. For example:
Call the number of students who took
the test X. The chart indicates that
40% of X passed the test, which is
0.4*X.
If a quarter of 0.4*X passed it in the
first trial, then three quarters passed it
in the second trial:
0.75*0.4*X=0.3*X. 0.3 is equal to
30%
Tip: Use the number 100! According to
the chart, out of the 100 students,
40% passed it in
one of the trials, which is equal to 40
students.
Out of the 40 students who passed the
exam, a quarter (25%), passed it on
the first trial.
That is: 40*0.25=10
Therefore, 30 students (40-10) passed
the second trial. These 30 make 30%
of the 100 who took the exam.
3. b.) 9,500,000
Chinese Insurance Stocks comprise
3.5% of all Insurance securities, which
leaves 26.5% of
Chinese bonds.
The total number of Insurance
securities is: 33,000,000+3,000,000=
36,000,000
Now we only need to calculate 26.5%
of 36,000,000: (36,000,000*0.265) =
9,540,000, which is approximately
9,500,000
-----------------------------------------------
4. c.) 1997
Return on sales in 1995 = 20/180 or
0.111 Return on sales in 1996 =
30/260 or 0.115 Return on sales in
1997 = 60/345 or 0.173 Return on
sales in 1998 = 55/420 or 0.130 So,
the highest return comes in 1997.
-----------------------------------------------
5. a.) once
Return on sales in 1992 = 12/130 or
0.09 Return on sales in 1993 = 18/135
or 0.13 Return on sales in 1994 =
19/140 or 0.13 Return on sales in
1995 = 20/180 or 0.111 Return on
sales in 1996 = 30/260 or 0.115
Return on sales in 1997 = 60/345 or
0.173 Return on sales in 1998 =
55/420 or 0.130 Return on sales
exceeds 15% only in 1997.
-----------------------------------------------
6. b.) twice
Profit growth exceeds 50% in 1996 i.e.
from 18 to 30 and in 1997 from 30 to
60.This is not happening in any other
year. Therefore answer is twice.
-----------------------------------------------
1998, you can do rough calculations by
taking 5.09% as 5% for 1997 and
5.82%
i.e. 6% approx. for 1998. After that,
calculate ratio as 5 × 25 × GDP : 6 ×
60 × GDP = 5x5 : 6x12 = 25 : 72
approximately. Hence answer is option
b.

7. d.) 1067 : 582 -----------------------------------------------

10. b.) 3.26

FEI for Malaysia in 1997 is 10.67 and 500 Japanese Yen before the reduction
FEI for Thailand in 1998 is 5.82. were worth = 500 x

So, Required ratio is = 10.67 : 5.82 = 0.007 = 3.5 Euro (the 0.007 figure

Convert 1/4% to plain fraction 1/4 %

Convert 1/4 % to decimal 1/4 % =

0.25% ÷ 100% = 0.0025
