3. If amongst other countries, Switzerland accounted for 25% of the Indian tourist traffic, and
it is known from official Swiss records that a total of 25 lakh Indian tourists had gone to
Switzerland during the year, then find the number of 30-39 year old Indian tourists who
went abroad in that year ?
A) 18.75 lakhB) 25 lakhC) 50 lakhD) 75 lakh
ANSWER KEY :D) (75 lakh)
EXPLANATION :
Tourist traffic from other countries to Swiz is 20%.
Amongst this 20%, 25% of traffic from India.
So, 25% of 20% = 5% corresponds to the Indian traffic in Switzerland.
5 % corresponds to Switzerland's 25 lakh. Hence 15% will be 75 lakh.
4. What percentage of proteins of the human body is equivalent to the weight of its skin ?
A) 41.66 %B) 43.33 %C) 44.44 %D)Cannot be determined
ANSWER KEY :A) (41.66 %)

we are unaware of the break-up of the sales value and volume of companies compromising
the other categories.
8. Over the period 2005-2006, if sales (value-wise) of IBM PC's increased by 50% and of
Apple by 15% assuming that PC sales of all other computer companies remained the same,

over the same period ?
A) 16.1 %B) 18 %C) 14 %D) None of these
ANSWER KEY :A) (16.1 %)
EXPLANATION :
If we assume the total sales to be 100 in the first year, IBM's sales would go up by 50%
(from 28 to 42) contributing an increase of 14 to the total sales value.
Similarly, Apple's increase of 15% would contribute an increase of 2.1 to the total sales
value. The net change would be 14 + 2.1 on 100. (i.e., 16.1%)
9. In 2005, the average unit sale price of an IBM PC was approximately (in US$)
A) 3180 B) 2800 C) 393 D) 3080
ANSWER KEY :D) (3080)
EXPLANATION :
IBM accounts for 28% of the share by value and 10% of the share by volume.
28% of 1650000 = 28 x 1650000/100 = 462000
10% of 1500 = 10 x 1500/100 = 150
Therefore, average unit sale price = 462000/150 = 3080.

(approximately) should it increase the Market Borrowing to arrange for the shortage of
funds?
A) 4.5 %B) 7.5 %C) 6 %D) 8 %
ANSWER KEY : C) (6 %)
EXPLANATION :
 Shortage of funds arranged
through External = Rs. (11486 - 9695) crores

1995, 1996 - 1997, 1997 - 1998 as compared to previous year (as shown by bar-graph).
The percentage increase in reserves during these years compared to previous year are:
For 1992 - 1993 (3720 - 2640)
x 100 % = 40.91%.
= 2640
For 1994 - 1995 (3360 - 2520)
x 100 % = 33.33%.
= 2520
For 1996 - 1997 (4320 - 3120)
x 100 % = 38.46%.
= 3120
For 1997 - 1998 (5040 - 4320)

1998 and company Y in 1996?

A.2,00,000 tons
B.20,00,000 tons
C. 20,000 tons
D. 2,00,00,000 tons
E. None of these
Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Required difference
= [(45 - 25) * 1,00,000] tones
= 20,00,000 tons.
27 What is the ratio of the average production of company X in the
period 1998-2000 to the average production of company Y in the
same period?
A. 1:1
B. 15:17
C. 23:25
D. 27:29
E. None of these
Answer: Option C

Explanation:
 Average production of company X in the period 1998-2000 = [1/3 *
(25 + 50 + 40)] = (115/3) lakh tons. Average production of
company Y in the period 1998-2000 = [1/3 * (35 + 40 + 50)] =
(125/3) lakh tons. Required ratio = (115/3)/(125/3) = 115/125 =
23/25
28 What is the percentage increase in the production of company Y
from 1996 to 1999?
A. 30%
B. 45%
C. 50%
D. 60%
E. 75%
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Percentage increase in the production of company Y from 1996 to
1999
= [(40 - 25)/25 * 100]% = (15/25 * 100)% = 60%
29 The average production for five years was maximum for which
company?
A. X
B. Y
C. Z
D. X and Y both
E. X and z both
Answer: Option E

Explanation:

For company

X = [1/5 * (30 + 45 + 25 + 50 + 40)] = 190/5 = 38

For company
Y = [1/5 * (25 + 35 + 35 + 50 + 40)] = 185/5 = 37
For company
Z = [1/5 * (35 + 40 + 45 + 35 + 35)] = 190/5 = 38 Average
production of five years in maximum for both the companies X and
Z.
10 In which year was the percentage of production of company Z to the
production of company Y the maximum?
A. 1996
B. 1997
 C. 1998
D. 1999
E. 2000
Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The percentage of production of company Z to the production of

company Z for various years are:

For 1996 = (35/25 * 100)% = 140%

For 1997 = (40/35 * 100)% = 114.29%
For 1998 = (45/35 * 100)% = 128.57%
For 1999 = (35/40 * 100)% = 87.5%
For 2000 = (35/50 * 100)% = 70%
Clearly, this percentage is highest for 1996.
31 The following bar graph shows the percent profit or loss of a
company is given by Income and Expenditures(in million US $) of
five companies in the year 2001.

Profit/Loss % = (Income - Expenditure)/Expenditure * 100

Which company earned the maximum percentage profit in the year

2001?
A. M
B. N
C. P
D. Q
E. R
Answer: Option D
 Explanation:

From M = [(30 - 45)/45 * 100]% = -33.33% i.e. %Loss = 33.33%

From N = [(50 - 40)/40 * 100]% = 25% i.e. %Profit = 25%

From P = [(40 - 45)/45 * 100]% = -11.11% i.e. %Loss = 11.11%

From Q = [(40 - 30)/30 * 100]% = 33.33% i.e. %Profit = 33.33%

From R = [(50 - 45)/45 * 100]% = 11.11% i.e. %Profit = 11.11%

Clearly, the company Q earned maximum profit in 2001.

32 The companies M and N together had a percentage profit / loss of :
A. 12% lossB. 10% lossC. 10% profitD. 12% profitE. There was no
loss or profit
Answer: Option E

Explanation:

Total income of companies M and N together = (35 + 50) million

US $ = 85 million US $

Total expenditure of companies M and N together = (45 + 40)

million US $ = 85 million US $
Percent Profit / Loss companies M and N together
% Profit / Loss = [(85 - 85)/85 * 100) = 0%
33 In 2001 what was the approximate percentage of profit / loss of all
the five companies taken together?
A. 5% profit
B. 6.5% profit
C. 4% loss
D. 7% loss
E. 10% profit
Answer: Option A

Explanation:
 Total income of all five companies = (35 + 50 + 40 + 40 + 50) =
215 million US $

Total expenditure of all five companies = (45 + 40 + 45 + 30 + 45)

= 205 million US $ % Profit = [(215 - 205)/205 * 100]% = 4.88% ≈
5%
34 If the income of company Q in 2001 was 10% more than its income
in 2000 and the company had earned a profit of 20% in 2000, then
its expenditure in 2000(in million US $) was :
A. 28.28
B. 30.30
C. 32.32
D. 34.34
E. 36.36
Answer:D
Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the income of company Q in 2000 = x million US $

Then, income of Company Q in 2001

= (110/100 x) million US $
110/100 x = 40 => x = (400/11)
i.e. income of company Q in 2000 = (400/11) million US $.
Let the expenditure of company Q in 2000 be E million US $. Then,
20 = [(400/11) - E]/E * 100 [% Profit = 20%]
=> 20 = [(400/11E) - 1] * 100
=> E = 400/11 * 100/120 = 30.30
Expenditure of company Q in 2000 = 30.30 million US $.
35 For company R, if the expenditure had increased by 20% in year
2001 from year 2000 and the company had earned a profit of 10%
in 2000, what was the company's income in 2000(in million US $)?
A. 35.75
B. 37.25
C. 38.5
D. 41.25
E. 42.75
Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Let the expenditure of company R in 2000 be x million US $.

Then, expenditure of company R in 2001

= (120/100 x) million US $.
120/100 x = 45 => x = 37.5
i.e. expenditure of company R in 2000 = 37.5 million US $.
Let the income of company R in 2000 be I million US $.
Then, 10 = (I - 37.5)/37.5 * 100 [% Profit in 2000 = 10%]
=> I - 37.5 = 3.75 => I = 41.25
i.e. Income of company R in 2000 = 41.25 million US $.
