Faizan Khan answered
Average annual exports of Company Z during the given period
= 1/7 x (60 + 90 + 120 + 90 + 60 + 80 + 100)
= Rs. ( 600 /7)crores
= Rs. 85.71 crores.
From the analysis of graph the exports of Company Z are more than the average annual exports of Company Z (i.e., Rs. 85.71 crores) during the years 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1999, i.e., during 4 of the given years.

Preeti Khanna answered
Number of Females in Company W = 3360 *(5/14) = 1200
Number of Post graduate employees in Company W = 3360 *(80/100) = 2688
Number of female post graduate employees in Company W = 2688 – 1488 = 1200
Required Percentage = (1200 * 100)/1200 = 100%

  • a)
    6:5

  • c)
    11:6     
  • d)
    16:15
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
The correct answer is D 
In 1999 , profit % of X = 50
profit% of Y = 60
Also , let their income in 1999 be i each and expenditure of X be x and that of Y be y.
For X ,
50 = (i - x)*100/x
1/2 = (i - x)/x
x/2 = i - x
i = 3x/2 (eq1)
For Y ,
60 = (i - y)*100/y
3/5 = (i - y)/y
3y/5 = i - y
i = 8y/5(eq 2)
Equating eq 1and 2 , we get
3x/2 = 8y/5
x/y = 16/15
x : y = 16:15

  • a)
    7:22       
  • b)
    14:19     
  • c)
    15:22     
  • d)
    27:35
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Dia Mehta answered
The correct answer is C 
Let the incomes in 2000 of Companies X and Y be 3x and 4x respectively.
And let the expenditures in 2000 of Companies X and Y be E1 and E2 respectively.
Then, for Company X we have:
65 =[( 3x - E1 )/E1]×100 =>65/100 = (3x/E1) - 1 
=> E1 = 3x×( 100/165 ) .... (i)
For Company Y we have:
50 = [(4x - E2 )/E2]x 100 =>50/100= (4x/E1) - 1 => E2 = 4x×( 100/150 ) .... (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get:
E1/E2=[3x ×(100/165)]/[4x×(100/150)]
E1/E2=15/22 (required ratio)
