Required ratio = 207 : 156 = 69 : 52. Therefore 4 distributors will lose their job.

The cost of production is more than the average cost For questions 21 to 25: The given information can be shown
in 2 years. as:

19. 1 New cost of production in 2013 (in thousand Rs.) R S T Total

= 1.25 × 625 = 781.25 A 1250 1250 2500 5000

C 3000 1500 1500 6000
Total cost of production in both the years (in thousand

 Required percentage =  100
800 21. 2 It is clearly evident from the table that city C casted
= 62.7%. maximum votes for candidate R.

22. 3 From the table we can conclude that, city B and city E
750  625 casted more votes for candidate S than candidate T.
20. 1 Profit % in year 2013 =  100 = 20%

23. 4 No two cities casted the same number of votes for
725  500 candidate R.
Profit % in year 2014 =  100 = 45%

24. 4 Total number of votes casted in favor of candidate
550  450 T = 5250 + 2500 + 1000 + 1500 = 10250.
Profit % in year 2015 =  100 = 22.2%

25. 2 Only city D casted over 2/3rd of their votes for
candidate T.
