Understanding the Initial Investment
The initial investment from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) is 33%. This percentage represents the portion of total investments made by FIIs in a given market or asset.
Doubling the Investment
If the investment from FIIs doubles next year, we need to calculate the new total investment.
- Current FII investment: 33%
- If this amount doubles, the new investment will be 33% x 2 = 66%.
Calculating the New Percentage
To determine the new percentage of FII investment in relation to the total investment:
1. Assume the total investment is 100 units.
2. Current FII investment: 33 units.
3. New FII investment after doubling: 66 units.
4. Total investment remains the same at 100 units.
Now, the new percentage of FII investment can be calculated as:
- New FII investment percentage = (New FII investment / Total investment) x 100
- New FII investment percentage = (66 / 100) x 100 = 66%.
Conclusion
Thus, after doubling their investment, FIIs will make up 66% of the total investment, making the correct answer option 'C'.

3. New FII investment after doubling: 66 units.

Now, the new percentage of FII investment can be calculated as:
- New FII investment percentage = (New FII investment / Total investment) x 100
- New FII investment percentage = (66 / 100) x 100 = 66%.
Conclusion
Thus, after doubling their investment, FIIs will make up 66% of the total investment, making the correct answer option 'C'.
Total revenues are Rs. 1800 crores. Overall profit margin is 10%. The division with the largest revenue has the least profit margin but not the least profits. The division with the profit margin higher than all others generates the least profit. Exactly one division has the same profit margin as the overall Company. Company D generates more profits than Company E.

- Total revenues are Rs. 1800 crores.
- Overall profit margin is 10%
- Overall profit is Rs. 180 crores.
- Exactly one division has the same profit margin as the overall Company. So, for this division, share of revenues should be equal to share of profits. Or, one of Company A or D has a profit margin of 10%
- Let us also compute absolute profit numbers the 5 numbers are Rs. 35 crores, Rs. 40 crores, Rs. 25 crores, Rs. 30 crores and Rs. 50 crores
- The division with the largest revenue has the least profit margin but not the least profits: So, E has the least profit margin but not the least profits. Company D generates more profits than Company E, so Company E does not generate the least profit either
- So, Company E should generate profits of Rs. 35 crores or Rs. 40 crores.
- Now, this is the critical statement - "The division with the profit margin higher than all others generates the least profit? Company C has the least revenue, and by a distance. So, it is possible that division C should have the highest profit margin. The lowest profit margin for division C should be 16.67%, Now, if the Rs. 25 crore profit were for any other division, the profit margin of that division would be less than 16.67%. This tells us that the Rs. 25 crore profit is made by division C at a profit margin of 16.67%.
- So this is where we stand now
- The three missing profit numbers are Rs. 50 crores, Rs. 40 crores and Rs. 35 crores
- Company E did not generate profit of Rs. 50 crores. So, the Rs. 50 crore profit number should have been seen by either B or D. If it had been D, then D would also have had a profit margin of 16,67%. But this is not possible as the question says - "The division with the profit margin higher than all others generates the least profit. The above statement tells us that no company apart from C had a profit margin of 16.67% or more. So, Company B should have seen a profit of Rs. 50 crores.
- Company D generates more profit than E so E should have seen a profit of 35 crores and D a profit of Rs 40 crores
- Therefore, the Profit that Company A made is equal to 30 crores

- Identify the emissions data:
• 2005: 500 million metric tons
• 2009: 800 million metric tons
• Total growth: 800 – 500 = 300 (60% increase over 4 years). - Calculate year‑on‑year growth rates:
• 2005–2006: (600 – 500) / 500 ≈ 20%
• 2006–2007: (650 – 600) / 600 ≈ 8.33%
• 2007–2008: (700 – 650) / 650 ≈ 7.69%
• 2008–2009: (800 – 700) / 700 ≈ 14.29% - Compute the arithmetic mean of annual growth rates:
(20% + 8.33% + 7.69% + 14.29%) / 4 ≈ 50.31% / 4 ≈ 12.5775%
Rounded to two decimal places: 12.57%.

If dealer T sold an equal number of each model, then for each model his share would be 4.2%.
Hence his share would be maximum for the model which had least share among the total sales.
The least share is for Zen which is 9%
Hence, the maximum share that T can have for any model = 4.2/9 × 100
= 46.67% which on rounding off becomes 47%.
Hence the required integral value to be entered is 47.

| | Iq Funda answered |
If the number of swifts sold by R and S is to be minimum, R and S should sell a maximum number of Baleno and Zen.
The share of R and S in total sales is 40%.
So even if they sell all Baleno’s and Zen that will account to only 24%, so they together will sell 16% Swifts.
The total share of swifts is 27% so they sold 16%.
Hence percentage share would be 16/27 × 100
= 59.25% which on rounding off becomes 59%. So correct answer is 59.

Pie charts are most appropriate for nominal or ordinal categorical data.
They visually depict the relative sizes of different categories, making it easy to understand their proportions.

To calculate the central angle for each category in a pie chart, divide the category value by the total and multiply by 360.
This gives the angle that corresponds to the category's proportion of the total.

| | Iq Funda answered |
We have to minimize the number of dealers who sold Wagon R.
So to minimize the number of dealers, the dealers who have largest share in total sales should have maximum share of Wagon R.
So if we assume that Q and R sold Wagon R the maximum number of Wagon R’s they can sell is 25% of 51 which is equal to 12.75%.
But the overall share of Wagon R is 16% so there should be at least 1 more dealer who sells Wagon R.
Hence the correct answer is 3.

 | Innovative Classes answered |
Cheapest mode of transport will be the one which will have highest transport volume and comparatively lowest cost.
We can figure out from the graph that Road have wide gap with very less costs.
For Road, Cost = 6/22
For Rail, Cost = 12/9
For Pipeline, = 65/49
For Ship, Cost = 10/9
Lowest cost is for road.
