Practice Test: Pie Chart - 2 - CAT MCQ

The country which has the highest average price would have low quality and high value when compared to other countries..

Switzerland fits the above description.

Hence, option A is the answer.

Turkey has a value of 16% and a quantity of 15%.

The average price in Euro per kilogram for Turkey is  (16*5.760)/(15*1.055) which is nearly equal to 5.6.

Hence option D.

Total tonnes of transportation by both rail and road is about  31*12/100 = 3.72 million tonnes and total cost incured 18*30/100 = 5.4 .

Hence required value is 5.4/3.72 which is about 1.5.

Hence option B .

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.

If the costs per tonne of transport by ship, air and road are represented by P, Q and R respectively.

P = 10/9
Q = 7/11
R = 6/22

We can see that P>Q and Q>R  and P>R.

• 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

Let the amount of Royalty to be paid for these books be Rs. r.

Then, 20 : 15 = 30600 : r 

Clearly, marked price of the book = 120% of C.P.

Also, cost of paper = 25% of C.P

Let the cost of paper for a single book be Rs. n.

Then, 120 : 25 = 180 : n
