All questions of Column/Bar Graphs for Mechanical Engineering Exam

Out of the two bar graphs provided below, one shows the amounts (in Lakh Rs.) invested by a Company in purchasing raw materials over the years and the other shows the values (in Lakh Rs.) of finished goods sold by the Company over the years.
In which year, the percentage change (compared to the previous year) in the investment on Raw materials is same as that in the value of sales of finished goods?
  • a)
    1996
  • b)
    1997
  • c)
    1998
  • d)
    1999
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Manoj Ghosh answered
The differences between the amount invested in raw material and the value of sales of finished goods for various years are:

For 1995,

= Rs. (200−120) lakhs 
= Rs.80 lakhs.
For 1996,

= Rs. (300−225) lakhs 
= Rs.75 lakhs.
For 1997,

= Rs. (500−375) lakhs 
= Rs.125 lakhs.
For 1998,

= Rs. (400−330) lakhs 
= Rs.70 lakhs.
For 1999,

= Rs. (600−525) lakhs 
= Rs.75 lakhs.
For 2000,

= Rs. (460−420) lakhs 
= Rs.40 lakhs.
Clearly, maximum difference was during 1997

For which of the following years, the percentage rise/fall in production from the previous year is the maximum for Company Y?
  • a)
    1997
  • b)
    1998
  • c)
    1999
  • d)
    2000
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ishani Rane answered
Percentage change (rise/fall) in the production of Company Y in comparison to the previous year, for different years are:
For 1997 = [(35 - 25)/25x 100]% = 40%.
For 1998 = [ (35 - 35)/35 x 100]% = 0%.
For 1999 = [ (40 - 35)/35 x 100 ]% = 14.29%.
For 2000 = [(50 - 40)/40 x 100]% = 25%.
Hence, the maximum percentage rise/fall in the production of Company Y is for 1997.
