Average exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z in 1993

Average exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z in 1998

Let's solve this step by step:

Understanding the problem:

• We need to find the principal amount.
• The rate of interest is 16 2/3% per annum, which is equivalent to 50/3%.
• The time period is 2 years.
• The final amount (principal + interest) is Rs. 196.

Formula for compound interest:

• Amount (A) = Principal (P) * (1 + Rate/100)^Time

Substituting the values:

• 196 = P * (1 + 50/300)^2
• 196 = P * (7/6)^2
• 196 = P * 49/36

Solving for Principal (P):

• P = 196 * 36 / 49
• P = 144

Therefore, the principal amount is Rs. 144.

So, the correct answer is option 4: Rs. 144.

Ajay + Vijay = 1/28 and Ajay + Vijay + Manoj = 1/21.

original number – 10x + y
(10x + y) – (10y + x) = 27
9(x – y) = 27
x – y = 3
All the given options not follow the condition.

Let (a + b) = 6k, (b + c) = 7k and (c + a) = 8k.
Then, 2 (a + b + c) = 21k
2 × 14 = 21k
k = 28/21 = 4/3
(a + b) = (6 × 4/3) = 8
c = (a + b + c) - (a + b) = (14 - 8) = 6

Required ratio

Required percentage

Calculations:

The articles sold by company A in 2014 = 1,59,000

The articles sold by company B in 2014 = 1,48,000

Difference between articles sold by company A and company B in 2014 = 1,59,000 – 1,48,000 = 11,000

According to the question,

The number of articles sold by company B in 2015 = 11,000 × 178/100 = 19,580

Decrease in numbers = 1,48,000 – 19,580 = 1,28,420 

Decrease % = (1,28,420/1,48,000) × 100 = 86.77% ≈ 87% 

∴ The articles sold by company B in 2015 has decreased by approx 87% from previous year.

So the synonym of Inebriate is Drunken.

“Loiter” makes no sense in the given context. So, it also gets eliminated.
Only ‘litter’ makes perfect sense in the blank both grammatically and contextually. It is also a verb.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

By timeline, 8500 BC was before 5000 BC. So sentence C is likely to feature after sentence D in the paragraph.

Sentence D talks of cultivation of plants and domestication of animals that began in the Near East around 8500 BC. Sentence A carries this idea forward, explaining how fixed settlements and small towns came into being after people turned to farming.

Sentence B starts off with “their labors"?. Who does “their"? refer to? Sentence C, which talks of farmers who moved down to the river valleys of Mesopotamia and their efforts to build dykes and ditches, has the answer. So B follows C.

Special focus would be placed on supplying fortified rice to the 112 specially identified Aspirational Districts of the country.
• The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has revealed plans to make fortification mandatory for edible oil and milk but has not made it mandatory yet. The Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) is mulling over making fortification in edible oil with Vitamin A and D mandatory, in a bid to combat the malnutrition challenges including micronutrient deficiencies in India. In 2018, the regulator had set standards for fortification for five category of staples which includes wheat flour and rice (with iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid), milk and edible oil (with Vitamins A and D) and double fortified salt (with iodine and iron). The fortification norms are currently voluntary. In addition, it is intensifying its focus on local staples such as rice, wheat and salt. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
• The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) releases the STATE FOOD FORTIFICATION INDEX for different states and union territories of India. As per the recently released report Andhra Pradesh ranks first. Hence statement 3 is correct.
