Test Level 1: Bar Graph - Question 1

Directions: The following graph shows the performance of FANTASTIC Ltd. over the given years. Refer to the graph to answer the question that follows.

Total Cost(TC) = Raw Material Cost + Labour Cost + Interest Cost
Profit = Revenue (R) - Total CostT (TC)
Shareholders Satisfaction = (Revenue - Total Cost)/Equity Base (EB)

Q. If the raw material, labour and interest costs for 1991 were in the ratio 7 : 2 : 3, then the raw material cost for 1991 was (in Rs. crore)

Detailed Solution: Question 1

For 1991, Total cost = Rs. 60 crore
When we divide 60 into ratio of 7 : 2 : 3, we get Rs. 35 crore, Rs. 10 crore, Rs. 15 crore.
Therefore, the raw material cost for 1991 was Rs. 35 crore.

Q. The growth rate of the number of students in government engineering colleges compared to that in private engineering colleges between 1988-89 and 1989-90 was

Detailed Solution: Question 15

Growth rate of the number of students in government engineering colleges between 1988-89 and 1989-90 =   100

= 50%
Growth rate of the number of students in private engineering colleges between 1988-89 and 1989-90 =   100 = 50%
Hence, the growth rate was equal.

Test Level 1: Bar Graph - Question 16

Directions: Study the given information and answer the following question.

The bar chart given below shows the production of different dress materials (in hundreds) from 6 cities during the years 2015 and 2016.

Q. What is the difference between the total production of dress materials in cities A, C and E together, and the total production of dress materials in cities B, D and F for the year 2016?

Detailed Solution: Question 16

Total production of dress materials in cities A, C and E together = 52,500 + 55,000 + 47,500 = 1,55,000
Total production of dress materials in cities B, D and F together = 32,500 + 47,500 + 40,000 = 1,20,000
Required difference = 1,55,000 – 1,20,000 = 35,000

Test Level 1: Bar Graph - Question 17

Directions: Study the given information and answer the following question.

The bar chart given below shows the production of different dress materials (in hundreds) from 6 cities during the years 2015 and 2016.

Q. The total production of dress materials in City E and City F for the year 2015 is what percent of the total production of dress materials in City C and City D for the same year?

Detailed Solution: Question 17

In 2015, Production of dress materials in City E and City F = 37,500 + 35,000 = 72,500
In 2015, Production of dress materials in City C and City D = 47,500 + 42,500 = 90,000
Required percentage = $\frac{72,500}{90,000}$  100 = 80.55%

Test Level 1: Bar Graph - Question 18

Directions: Answer the question based on the information given below.
The following chart shows the runs scored by Dravid in the year 2006-07.

Best = Highest score in any match

Average = Total runs scored/Number of outs

Q. If Dravid was out in all the innings he played, what is the minimum possible average can he have? (If his best is 118)

Detailed Solution: Question 18

Minimum possible number of runs
= 7  0 + 12  20 + 18  40 + 20  60 + 8  80 + 4  100 + 118 = 3318.
So, average =  

= 47.4.

Test Level 1: Bar Graph - Question 19

Directions: Answer the question based on the information given below.

The following chart shows the runs scored by Dravid in the year 2006-07.

Best = Highest score in any match

Average = Total runs scored/Number of outs

Detailed Solution: Question 19

Average = , it will become maximum if total runs scored is maximum.
The maximum possible runs he can score is
 19 + 12  39 + 18  59 + 20  79 + 8  99 + 5  120 = 4635 (Since best is 120).
Total number of outs = 7 + 12 + 18 + 20 + 8 + 5 = 70.
So, Average =  

= 66.21 ≈ 66.
