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.

Average sales during second quarter =  

= 37.925

Total sales of company A = 118 + 127 + 130 + 143 + 170 + 182 + 256 + 290 + 343 + 367 + 389 + 410 = 2925
Total sales of company B = 127 + 165 + 180 + 196 + 210 + 213 + 254 + 276 + 312 + 323 + 343 + 353 = 2952
Sales of company B are more than sales of company A.

Sales of company A during each quarter:
First quarter: Jan to Mar:
Total sales = (118 + 127 + 130) = 375
Second quarter: Apr to Jun:
Total sales = (143 + 170 + 182) = 495
Third quarter: Jul to Sept:
Total sales = (256 + 290 + 343) = 889
Fourth quarter: Oct to Dec:
Total sales = (367 + 389 + 410) = 1166
So, the sales were maximum during the last quarter.

New bank credit in 1997 = 1/2 of 20 × 10⁹ = 10 × 10⁹
Bank credit per sick unit = (10 × 10⁹)/(30 × 1000) = Rs. 3 lakh (approx.)

Percentage increase = ((80 - 30)/30) × 100 = 166.67%

Total number of engineering students in 1989-90 = (180 + 120 + 70 + 40) × 100 = 410 × 100 = 41,000

Total number of engineering students in 1990-91 = (250 + 140 + 80 + 60)  100
= 530  100 = 53,000
Therefore, total number of engineering students in 1991-92 = 53,000  0.90 = 47,700
None of the options gives the required figure.

 In 2016, average production of dress materials in cities A, B and C =  

= 1,40,000/3
In 2015, average production of dress materials in cities D, E and F =  

= 1,15,000/3
Required percentage =  × 100 = 121.73%

Sales of East region in the first quarter = 20.4 (in 000's)
Sales of West region in the first quarter = 30.6 (in 000's)
Sales of North region in the first quarter = 45.9 (in 000's)
Sales of South region in the first quarter = 35.8 (in 000's)

Average sales of all regions in the first quarter =  (in 000's)

Range of sales = Maximum sales in east region - Minimum sales in east region = 90 - 20.4 = 69.6

Sales in March = 130
Sales in April = 143
So, percentage increase =  

= 10%

Difference = (25 - 20) × 100 crore = Rs. 500 crore

verage bank credit per sick unit = (31 × 109)/(80 × 1000) = Rs. 4 lakh (approx.)

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.

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

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 =   100 = 80.55%

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

= 47.4.

Average = , it will become maximum if total runs scored is maximum.
The maximum possible runs he can score is
7  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.

Total number of students who appeared for the exam from schools A, B and C = 3000 + 3250 + 2250 = 8500
Total number of students who appeared for the exam from schools D and E = 5500
Difference = 8500 - 5500 = 3000
Required percentage = (3000 × 100)/5500 = 54.5%
