Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 26

Direction: The given line graph shows the monthly savings (in Rs.) of a man in 8 months of the year 2017. Study the line graph and answer the questions that follow.

Q. If the ratio of his savings in the first six months and the last six months is 8 ∶ 7, then what is his savings in the last 4 months of the year?

Detailed Solution for Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 26
Total savings in first 6 months

= 12800 + 16200 + 16800 + 15600 + 13200 + 11600 = Rs. 86200

Ratio of savings = 8 : 7

⇒ 86200: (Savings in last 6 months) = 8 : 7

⇒ Savings in last 6 months =(7/8) × 86200 = Rs. 75425

Now,

Savings in the month of July & August = 14000 + 15200 = Rs. 29200

∴ Savings in the last 4 months = 75425 − 29200 = Rs. 46225

Hence, the correct option is (D).

Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 27

Direction: The given line graph shows the monthly savings (in Rs.) of a man in 8 months of the year 2017. Study the line graph and answer the questions that follow.

Q. If the savings in the month of October is 125% of the average savings of May and June, then the savings in October is how much less than the savings in February?

Detailed Solution for Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 27
Savings in May = Rs. 13200

Savings in June = Rs. 11600

Average savings in May & June = (13200+11600)/2 = Rs. 12400

Savings in October = 125% of 12400 = Rs. 15500

Now, savings in February = Rs. 16200

∴ Required difference = 16200 − 15500 = Rs. 700

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 28

Direction: The given line graph shows the monthly savings (in Rs.) of a man in 8 months of the year 2017. Study the line graph and answer the questions that follow.

Q. If the ratio of the savings of January and November is ∶4∶5 and that of August and December is ∶19 ∶ 18, then what is the ratio of the savings of November and December?

Detailed Solution for Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 28
Savings of January = Rs. 12800

Ratio of savings of January & November = 4 : 5

⇒ 12800/(Savings of November) = 4/5

Savings of November = (5/4) × 12800 = Rs. 16000

Similarly,

Savings of August = Rs. 15200

Ratio of savings of August & December = 19 : 18

⇒ 15200/(Savings of December) = 19/18

Savings of December = (18/19) × 15200 = Rs. 14400

Hence, the correct option is (E).

Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 29

Direction: The given line graph shows the monthly savings (in Rs.) of a man in 8 months of the year 2017. Study the line graph and answer the questions that follow.

Q. Considering the monthly savings of the man in the past 8 months, approximately what will be his total savings of the year?

Detailed Solution for Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 29
Total savings in past 8 months

= 12800 + 16200 + 16800 + 15600 + 13200 + 11600 + 14000 + 15200 = Rs. 115400

Average monthly savings = 115400/8 = Rs. 14425

On an average, if he saves Rs. 14425 in a month,

∴ His total savings of the year = 12 × 14425 = Rs. 173100

Hence, the correct option is (D).

Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 30

Direction: The given line graph shows the monthly savings (in Rs.) of a man in 8 months of the year 2017. Study the line graph and answer the questions that follow.

Q. If his savings in the month of September is 10.4% more than that in July, then his savings in the month of September is what percentage less than that in March?

Detailed Solution for Goa PCS Pre-Screening Mock Test- 2 - Question 30
Savings in July = Rs. 14000

∵ Savings in September is 10.4% more than that in July.

⇒ Savings in September = (100 + 10.4)% of 14000 = 1.104 × 14000= Rs. 15456

Now,

Savings in March = Rs. 16800

Decrease in savings of March & September = 16800 − 15456 = Rs. 1344

Percentage decrease

= (1344/16800) × 100 = 8%

∴ The savings in the month of September is 8% less than that in March.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
