Question 14. Among Tea and Coffee, which crop witnessed higher export (in terms of volume) for the period 1989-1992?
  1.    Tea
  2.    Coffee
  3.    Cannot be determined
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Coffee
:
B
Shortcut: Except 1990, we can see that for each of the year between 1989-1992, coffee has higher exports as compared to tea. And for 1990, the higher production of coffee is compensated by much higher production of tea in other months. Conventional: We can calculate the exact export data for each year and then compare the two. We will still get the same answer
Question 15. If Dell’s revenue in 2009 was 120 million rupees and Sony’s revenue grew at the rate of 25% from 2009 to 2011, Find the ratio of Sony’s revenue in 2009 to that of DELL in 2010?
  1.    Less than 1
  2.    Greater than 2
  3.    between 1 and 2
  4.    Cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> between 1 and 2
:
C
Dell’s revenue in 2011 was 180mn. Then Sony’s revenue in 2011 was 270mn and Sony’s revenue grew at 25% from 2009 to 2011. Sony’s revenue in 2009 = 216mn and Dell’s revenue in 2010 = 150 mn.
Question 16. In which of the following years, was the difference in the productions of Companies X and Y, the maximum among the given years ?
  1.    1997
  2.    1998
  3.    1999
  4.    2000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2000
:
D
The difference between the productions of Companies X and Y in various years are:
For 1997 (139000 - 119000) = 20000.
For 1998 (120000 - 99000) = 21000.
For 1999 (141000 - 100000) = 41000.
For 2000 (128000 - 78000) = 50000.
For 2001 (120000 - 107000) = 13000.
For 2002 (159000 - 148000) = 11000.
Clearly, maximum difference was in 2000. (From the graph, we can be sure that answer is either 1999 or 2000. So we need to calculate only for those two years)
Method-2
Visually,for the year 1997, there is a difference of 1( number of rows)
For 1998, 1
For 1999, 2
For 2001, 2.5 So the highest is for 2000
Question 17. The graph shown at the right indicates the time taken by five people to travel various distances. On average, which person travelled the fastest?

  1.    Vinay
  2.    Ashank
  3.    Divya
  4.    Mohit
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Divya
:
C
In this case, by observation we can conclude that Divya and Swapnil have covered the maximum distance. Also Divya and Vinay have taken the least time. Obviously, Divya has to be the fastest
Conventional Solution: - Average Speed = DistanceTime
The Graph Shown At The Right Indicates The Time Taken By Fiv...
Divya is the fastest.
Question 18. If the binder’s charges amount to 6000, then the expenses on the cost of promotion would have been what percentage of the profit if the revenue was 300% higher than the content development cost___
 Discuss Question

:
Given 10% = 6000
So content development cost,30%= 18000
So Revenue= 4×18000=72000 (Since, it is given that content development cost is 300% higher)
Total cost = 60000
So profit = 12000
Promotion cost = (20100×60000=12000)
So promotion cost is 100% of the profit.
Question 19. The following graph gives earnings of Mr. X on different days.On which pair of days was the average earnings the highest?

  1.    Mon ,Tues
  2.    Tues, Wed
  3.    Thurs ,Friday
  4.    Tues, Fri
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Tues, Fri

Question 20. The person who conducted the survey, by mistake, did not include some players. When they were included, the number of players who played cricket increased by 40% and while the number of hockey players saw an increase of 100%. If the number of players in all other games remained constant, what will be the degree of the tennis players in the corrected graph?
  1.    350
  2.    500
  3.    450
  4.    550
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 450
:
C
Let total number of players = 100
The number of players who played cricket = 25 and number of players who played hockey = 10
The number of players who played cricket increased by 40% and while the number of hockey players saw an increase of 100%, now total number of players who played cricket = 35 and total number of players who played hockey = 20, Now total number of players = 120
Angle made by the players who played tennis = 15120 × 360 =450.
