:
D
From the given curve, it is evident that minimum share of income earned by top 1% of earners is lowest for the period 1970-90 and therefore in the same period, US witnessed lowest “Economic disparity”.

Question 3. In the bar graph shown here, the ratio of ‘Exchange-traded funds (Commodity)’ to ‘Exchange-traded funds (Fixed Income)’ was highest for which of the following years?

2008
2009
2010
2011

Discuss Question

Answer: Option B. -> 2009
:
B
Just by observation, you can be sure that 2008 can be eliminated. Now among 2010 and 2011, the ‘Equity’ part is same for both of them. To have a higher ratio value, the ‘commodity’ part should be higher and ‘Fixed Income’ part should be lower. Thus among these two years, we can again eliminate 2011. The following table will give you the approximate value for years 2009 & 2010.

\begin{matrix} Y e a r & C o m m o d i t y & F i x e d I n c o m e & R a t i o 2009 & 0.04 & 0.20 & 0.20 2010 & 0.02 & 0.16 & 0.125 \end{matrix}

We can see that the ‘commodity’ for 2010 is almost double that of ‘2009’ whereas the ‘fixed income’ part doesn’t have that much variation. Thus 2009 is the answer.

Question 4. In the oral healthcare market, Bolgate and Lipsudent are the market leaders. In the month of March, Bolgate and Lipsudent sold products worth Rs. x and Rs. 1.5x respectively.

Discuss Question

Answer: Option B. -> 2009
:
A
We will first try to represent the data in a tabular format.

\begin{matrix} M a r c h & A p r i l B o l g a t e & x & x + 2.5 x = 3.5 x L i p s u d e n t & 1.5 x & 1.5 x + 1.5 x = 3 x \end{matrix}

Now it will be easier to observe that (a) is the correct option.

9
18
20
Insufficient data
