Detailed Solutions for (Set- 1 to 10)

Solution (1-50):
The solution of 1 is-

1). (b), males qualified candidates =264, so female qualified candidate from state A is 480-264 = 216
Ratio of male to female in not qualified = 2:1, so female who did not qualify = 1/3*168 = 56,
Ratio = 56/216 = 7/27.
96+48+192
2). (a), average number of candidates who did not qualify from state C, D and F = 3
= 112
480+432+312
Average number of candidate who qualified from state A, B, and E = 3
= 408
So the ratio = 112/408 = 14/51
468+96
3). (c), percentage of State B and C in unqualified category = 1200
∗ 100 = 47%
So central angle = 47*360/100 = 169.2°
4). (e), total number of qualified candidates from state A and D together = 480+600 = 1080
Percentage = (1080-216)/216 * 100 = 400%
5). (e), total number of qualified candidates from state D and F together = 600+240 = 840
Percentage = (840-648)/648*100 = 29.62%
The solution is- total students in each school as per the percentage given is

6). (d), total number of students who have enrolled for coaching institutes A and C together from school P =
20+70 = 90
Total number of students who have enrolled for the same institutes from school = 16+60 = 76
Ratio = 90:76 = 45:38
7). (b), female = 40%*180 = 72, 20% of female is from school Q = 14
Female from other school = 72-14 = 58
So the difference = 58-14 = 40
20+80+54+90
8). (b), average number of student = 4
= 61

20+16 8
9). (e), percentage = 70+40 ∗ 100 = 32 11 %
10). (c), percentage = (58-42)/58*100 = 27.58%
11). (c), academic books published by A = 28200/10 *7=19740, academic books published by D = 31200/13 * 8
= 19200
Required difference = 19740-19200 = 540
12). (b), number of books distributed by publisher E = 33800*79/100 = 26702
Number of books were given to each distributor by publisher Q = 26702/25 = 1068 (appox.)
13). (c), non-academic books published by F = 35700/17 *6 = 12600, none academic books published by G =
37800/18 *13 = 27300
Required average = (27300 + 12600)/2 = 19950
14). (b), total number of books published by P, Q, R = 31200+33800+35700= 100700, increased number of
books = 100700/100 * 130 = 130910
Total number of books published by A, B, C, D, E, F, G, = 28200+32200+29700+37800 = 127900
Decreased number of books = 127900/100 * 80 = 102320
Required average = (130910+102320)/7 = 33318
15). (d), total numbers of books distributed by publishers C and E = 29700*92% + 33800*79% = 54026.
The solution is
The number of candidates interviewed on Thursday by ONGC = 27, number of candidates interviewed by NTPC
on Thursday = 27-2 = 25
Number of candidates interviewed by NTPC on Friday = 134-119 = 15
Number of candidates interviewed by BEL on Tuesday = x
So no. of candidates interviewed by BEL = on Monday, Saturday = 0.9x
0.9x+x+45+32+10+0.9x = 171
2.8x=84
x= 30, 0.9x = 27
Total number of candidates interviewed by BHEL and Nalco on Wednesday = 1.2*15=18
The number of candidates interviewed by NALCO on Tuesday = y
25+y+5+27+28+45+30+25+30+36+y=315
Y = 32
The number of candidates interviewed by BHEL on Monday = 37
The filled table is

16). (d), number of candidates interviewed on Wednesday = 116

Number of candidates interviewed on Saturday = 109
Required percentage = 116*100/109 = 106.42%
17). (b), required percentage = 134*100/171 = 78.36%
18). (d), required difference = 37-27 = 10
19). (e), total number of candidates = 148+185 = 333
20). (a), total number of candidates interviewed by NALCO = 185
So x*134/100 = 185, x = 138.06%.

It is more than candidates interviewed by NTPC = 38.06%
21). (d), let the total number of students who passed from school F be x, then 28% of x = 336 or x = 1200, now,
let the total students passed from all school be y, then, 15% of y = 1200 or y =8000. Now total students passed
from school B = 22% of 8000 =1760. Therefore number of male students passed from school B = 60% of 1760 =
1056.
22). (c), we can say, 12% of x = 2400(x = total number of passed students in all schools or, x= 20000. Number of
female passed students from school C = 14% of 11% of 20000 = 308
Number of male passed students from school F = 72% of15% of 20000 = 2160.
Required ratio = 308:2160 = 77/540
23). (c), 11% of x = 1650( x = total number of passed students in all school or x = 15000. Total students passed
from school F = 15% of 15000 = 2250, total students passed from school A = 24% of 15000 = 3600.
In the year 2016, total students passed from school A = 116% of 2250 = 2610, total students passed from school
A = 124% of 3600 = 4464, total number of students passed in both school in 2008 = 2610+4464 = 7074
24). (a), it is given that, 68% of x = 306 (x = total number of A passed students ) or x = 450, now, 24% of y =
450(y= total number of passed students in all schools or, y = 1875
25). (b), total number of students who passed from school E = 16% of 1750 = 280, number of male students who
passed from school E = 55% of 280 = 154.
26). (a), total runs scored by R = 24*51 = 1224
Total runs scored by R in 21 matches = 21*(51-9) = 21*42 = 882 runs
Therefore runs scored by R in last # matches = 1224-882 = 342
So maximum runs scored by R in 22nd and 23rd matches = 139*2 = 278
So minimum possible runs scored by R in 24th match = 342-278 = 64
27). (e), total balls faced by O = 900
Therefore total balls faced by Q = 3/5 *900 = 540
Total runs of O = strike rate*total balls/100= 140*540 / 100 = 756
Therefore required % = (990-756)/990*100 = 23 7/11%
28). (d), total runs scored by batsman M in 22 matches = 22*56 = 1232
2∗𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 ∗100
Now, total number of balls faced by batsman M in tournament = 𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠
𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 (𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 11 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 +
𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑡𝑡 11 𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑐𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑠𝑠=2∗1232∗10083+7= 1600
29). (c), let the average runs scored by N = x
18𝑥𝑥
Then 153.6 = 18𝑥𝑥−402 ∗ 100 => 𝑥𝑥 = 64
30). (d), let, total matches played by batsman O = x
Now the strike rate = total runs scored*100/total faced off balls
110 = total runs scored*100/900, so total runs scored = 990
Now, total runs scored = total match played*average run
990 x*45, then x = 22, total matches played = 22.
31). (e), let, female number of students dropped out = x
Then, according to the question, [(350-90)+(200-x)]*25/100 = (350+200)*16/100
Then on solving we get x= 108
32). (d), according to the question, [(9x-30) + (8x-60)] = 4x+3x
Or, 10x= 90
So x = 9
Therefore number of total students (male +female) = 3x+4x = 7x = 7*9 = 63
33). (e), let, total enrolled students (male + female) = x
Number of students dropped out (male + female) = 3x/11
Therefore number of students (male + female) who complete the course = x-3x/11 = 8x/11

8𝑥𝑥

Therefore the percentage of students (male + female) who completed the course and got job = 11
∗ 100% =
𝑥𝑥
800
11
% = 72.72%
34). (a), let the number of enrolled male students from city C = x
And number of enrolled female students from city C = y
Percentage of number of students who got the job = number of students
96
25% = 96 => 1% =
25
96
100% = ∗ 100 = 384
25
Therefore number of total students (male + female) who complete the course = 384
Now, total number of enrolled students (male + female) = 384+52+20 = 456
According to the question, x+y = 456 and (x-52) = (y-20)
So equating both equation, we get x =244
Hence, number of enrolled male students from city C = 244
35). (e), total number of students (male + female) enrolled from city B = 270+210 = 480
Now, number of students who got the job = 480*40/100 = 192
But in these 192 students include the students also who dropped out.
Therefore required number of students (male + female) who got the job = 192-(33+32) = 127
36). (b), percentage of number of eligible voters in the village D, in the year 2015 = 60% + 20% = 80%
Number of actual voter registered in the year 2015 = 75%*80 = 60%
= 60-60/60 * 100 = 0%
37). (a), let the population of village D= x
And the population of village E = y
Now, according to the question,
𝑥𝑥 ∗ 60% ∗ 60% = 𝑦𝑦 ∗ 70% ∗ 75%
On solving we get x/y = 35/24
38). (a), let the population of village A = x
Now according to the question,
𝑥𝑥 ∗ 80% ∗ 70% ∗ 75% − 𝑥𝑥 ∗ 80% ∗ 70% ∗ 25% = 1400
Or, x*56/100 * ½ = 1400
On solving we get x = 5000
39). (a), let the total population of village B = x
Now according to the question, 𝑥𝑥 ∗ 60% ∗ 80% = 36%
Then on solving x =6/8
Now the percentage = 6/8*80% = 60%
80 90 80
40). (b), no of voters turnout in village = 12500 ∗ 100 ∗ 100 ∗ 100 = 7200
The solution can be represented in tabular form as

41). (b), for company S, total profit = (270-224) + (378-288) + (290-252) = 46+90+38= 174 crore
For company T. total profit = (216-160) + (294-216) + (348-294) = 56+78+54 = 188 crore
Therefore required difference = 188-174 = Rs. 14 crore.
42). (b), referring to the table it is clear that in 3013 the income of company T is the second lowest i.e. 267 crore
43). (c), profit gained by company S in 2011 = 336-320 = Rs. 16
Profit gained by company S in 2012 = 378-288 = Rs. 90
Required % = (90-16)/16*100 = 462.5%
44). (e), PROFIT % OF COMPANY s IN 2015 = [(392-287)/287*100] = 36.58%
Profit % of company T in 2015 = [(448-369)/369*100] = 21.4%
Required % = 36.58/21.4 * 100 ~ 171%
45). (a), profit gained by company T in 2011 = (288-192) = Rs. 96
Profit gained by company T in 2013= (260-168) = Rs. 92
Profit gained by company T in 2015 = (448-369) = Rs. 79
Total profit = 96+92+79 = Rs. 267 crore
46). (a), amount budgeted for Electricity and water & telephone bills = 32/100 * Rs. 57,69,190 ~ 18, 46,141
Funds utilized by Books and stationery, miscellaneous expenditure and Sports = 55/100* Rs. 3509190 ≈19,
89,687
Required ratio = 18, 46,141/1930054 ~ 1:1
47). (b), expenditure on miscellaneous, books and stationery and sports = 55%* Rs. 35,09,190 ~ Rs. 19,30,000
Amount budgeted for sports and Electricity = 33% * Rs. 57, 69, 190 =~ Rs. 19, 40, 000. After making all
combination this is closest to total expenditure on miscellaneous, books and stationery and sports.
48). (d), in the areas where the percentage of funds allocation is greater than or equal to percentage of funds
utilization, there funds utilization is definitely more than funds utilization. Such areas are Electricity, water &
telephone bill, Canteen and sports.
For books and stationery, funds allocation = 12% of Rs. 57, 69,190~ Rs. 6, 92,300
Funds utilized = 14% * Rs. 35, 09,190~Rs. 4, 91,290
For miscellaneous, funds allocation = 15% * Rs. 57, 69, 190~ Rs. 8, 65, 380
Funds utilized = 18% * Rs. 35, 09,190 = Rs. 6, 31, 650
Thus, for none of the areas the amount budgeted have been fully utilized.
49). (b), Amount budgeted for Books and stationery = 18%* 57, 69,190 ~10, 38,454, Amount budgeted for
books and stationery other than books = 35% of 10, 38, 454~3, 63,459. Total expenditure on Books and
stationery = 18% of 35, 09,190 = 6, 31,654. Total expenditure on books and stationery other than Books = 30% *
6, 31,654 = 1, 89,496. Required difference = 3, 63,459-1, 89,496 = 1, 73,963.
50). (a), total amount budgeted for sports = 23% * 57,69,190 = 13,26,913.7
10%increase takes place so value = 14, 59,605.07
19%∗35,09,190
Now percent = 14,59,605.07
∗ 100 ≈ 45.7%

Required percentage =( (11840 – 10000)/10000) * 100 = 18% (approx.)

77) Answer: B)
Total investment in electricity and thermal energy in both the districts in 1995 = (815.2 + 632.4 + 2065.8 +
1232.7) = 4746.1.
Total investment made in that year = 2923.1 + 7081.6 = 10004.7 ≈ 10000
Hence required percentage = (4746.1/10000) * 100 = 47% (approx.)

78) Answer: B)
Percentage increase in investment in electricity = (300/2070) * 100 = 14%
Percentage increase in investment in chemical= {(986.4 – 745.3)/745.31} x 100 = 240/745 = 32%
Percentage increase in investment in solar = (428.6/1792.1)
let’s take the approximate values = (430/1792) * 100 = 23%
And the Percentage increase in investment in nuclear = 507/1674
approximately = (500/1670 )x 100 = 23%
Clearly percentage increase in investment in chemical is the highest

79) Answer: C)
Total investment in Chittoor = 2923.1 + 3489.5 = 6412.6 ≈ 6410.
Total investment in Khammam = 7081.6 + 8352 ≈ 15430.
Required ratio = (15430/6410) = 2.4 times

80) Answer: B)
Solar energy in 1995 Increased by 20% = 468.1 / 100 * 110 = 561.72
Nuclear energy in 1996 decreased 15% = 2182.1 / 100 * 85 = 1854.785
561.72 + 1854.785 = 2416.505

Solution (81-85)
81) Answer: B)
Originally 4 people were scheduled for the fifth month to do coding
Therefore the cost for them (10000 × 4) = Rs. 40,000.
Now there is increase in number of men from 4 to 5 who are working on design in the fifth month.
Therefore the cost changes and the total cost for this would be (20000 × 5) = Rs.1,00,000.
Therefore the percentage change in the in the cost incurred in the fifth month = {(100000 – 40000)/40000} x 100
= 150%

82) Answer: A)
With the help of last question we will come to know that the coding stage is now completed in 6th, 7th and 8th
months.
We also know that the number of people employed in the 6th month is 5 and in the 8th month is 5 and by the
month 7th there are 5 people employed (from previous data).
Therefore by combining all the months we find that the total cost incurred in the coding stage = (5 + 5 + 4) ×
10000 = Rs.1,40,000.

83) Answer: B)
The difference in the cost will arise only because of the following months: 5, 6 and 8.
And we can compare the costs as given below
Original scheme New scheme

From the table it is shown that percentage growth is least for higher secondary books i.e. 26%.

88) Answer: B)
From the given table in answer we can see that the percentage growth rate is maximum for secondary level books
i.e.125%

89) Answer: D)
We can see that primary, secondary and higher secondary level books have all suffered from some sort of a
decrease at a certain point of time, and have not shown a consistent decline or increase. But on the other hand, all
the graduate level books have shown a consistent growth over the period.

90) Answer: C)
NO of books sold in 1979 = 196092
NO of books sold in 1980 = 207767
% increased in 1980 = 207767 – 196092 / 196092 * 100

Solution (96-100):

96) Answer: C)
Total expenditure = 52.1+267.5+196.4+209.5 = 725.5 lakhs.
If it has to be kept within 700 lakhs, the expenditures has to reduce by 25.5 laks.
So the expenditure reduced each year will be (25.5/4) = 6.375 lakhs.
Hence, percentage reduce for 1989 would be = (6.375/15) × 100 = 42.5%

97) Answer: B)

1989 = 95+70+15+25+25 = 230
1990 = 80+45+12+18+20 = 175
1991 = 75+60+16+21+18 = 190
Therefore proportion of these expenditures till 1990 = (2.1 + 230 + 175) / (2.1 + 230 + 175 + 190) = 0.6817.
This will also be the fraction of the total length of the line.

98) Answer: B)
Total material cost = (95+80+75+70+45+60+15+12+16+25+18+21) = 532
Total labour cost = (2.1+25+20+18) = 65.1
Therefore the ratio = 532 : 65.1 = 8 : 1 (approximately)

99) Answer: B)
The costs that can be taken under the head “Materials” are : Cement, steel, Bricks and Other building materials.
The estimated cost in 1990 = 80 + 45 + 12 + 18 = 155
The estimated cost in 1991 = 75 + 60 + 16 + 21 = 172
Cost of material rises by 5%, Cost would rise by 0.05X (155 + 172) = Rs.16.35 lakhs.

100) Answer: B)
Amount spent till 1990 = Rs.725.5 lakhs Estimated Expenditure for 1991 = 209.5 lakhs.
Hence the increase in expenditure will be 209.5 on 725.5 = 28.87%.

Number of girls passed of College= (44*400)/100 =176 Number of girls passed of College B =(36*500)/100 =
180
% difference = [(180-176)/180]*100=20/9

130) Answer: D)
Number of girls passed from College A = Number of boys passed from College A = 200
Number of girls passed from College B = 48% = 240
Total passed=(240/200)*48=500
Number of boys passed=52% of 500 = 260
%=(260/200)*100=130%

Solution (131-135):
131) Answer: A)
Let analyse the graph before answering question.
Number of students in 1995 = 3000 [given]
Number of students in 1996 = 3000-250+350 = 3100
Number of students in 1997 = 3100-450+300 = 2950
Number of students in 1998 = 2950-400+450 = 3000
Number of students in 1999 = 3000-350+500 = 3150
Number of students in 2000 = 3150-450+400 = 3100
Number of students in 2001 = 3100-450+550 = 3200
Above analysis will help us solving problems for this line graph.
Lets be back on question now,
Percentage increase in strength of the school from 1997 to 1998 will be,
= ((3000−2950)/2950∗100)%=1.69%
So this is approx equal to 1.7%

132) Answer: C)
Number of students in 1995 = 3000 [given]
Number of students in 1996 = 3000-250+350 = 3100
Number of students in 1997 = 3100-450+300 = 2950
Number of students in 1998 = 2950-400+450 = 3000

136) Answer: A)
Production In Indonesia = 50 x 10/100 = 5 lakh tones
Difference= 5 x (73 – 27) /100 = 2.3 lakh tones

137) Answer: B)
Production of wheat by scientific method in
India= 50 x (18/100) x (32/100) = 2.88 lakh tones
Japan = 50 x (20/100) x (78/100) = 7.8 lakh tones
China= 50 x (22/100) x (70/100) = 7.7 lakh tones
Bangladesh= 50 x (8/100) x (20/100) = 0.8 lakh tones
Pakistan= 50 x (9/100) x (66/100) = 2.97 lakh tones
Indonesia= 50 x (10/100) x (73/100) = 3,65 lakh tones
Sri Lanka= 50 x (13/100) x (60/100) = 3.9 lakh tones
So Avrg = (2.88 + 7.8 + 7.7 + 0.8 + 2.97 + 3.65 + 3.9)/7 = 4.24 lakh tones

138) Answer: C)
Production by conventional method in Pakistan = 50 x (9/100) x (34/100) = 1.53 lakh tones
Production by scientific method in Japan= 7.8 lakh tones
Required ratio= 1.53 : 7.8 = 51 : 260

139) Answer: C)
Production of wheat in Sri Lanka by Conventional method= 50 x (13/100) x (40/100) = 2.6 lakh tones
Production in India by scientific method= 50 x (18/100) x (32/100) = 2.88 lakh tones
According to question, 2.88 X x = 2.6
x = 2.6/2.88 = 0.9 times

Difference = 7680– 7320 = 360

160) Answer: B)
The number of female is more than that of male in Medical, Banking and Teaching.
Total = 1209+1638+1560 = 4407
Solution (161-165):
161) Answer: B)
Total income = Rs.40 crore
Total Expenditure = Rs.39 crore
% of money is saved by the NGO = [(40-39)/40]*100 = 2.5%

162) Answer: A)
Decrease in Income = 15% of 40 crore
New Income = 85% of 40 crore = 34 crore
percentage of expenditure on midday meal = (5/39)*100 = 12.8%
New Expenditure after gradual decrease is expenditure with respect to income = (39/40)*34 = 33.15crore
Expenditure on midday meal = (12.8/100)*33.15 = 4.24 crore
Decrease in Expenditure on midday meal = 5 – 4.24 = 0.77 crore

163) Answer: D)
Expenditure on food for poor = 10 crore
Expenditure on food for mid-day meal programme = 5 crore
Total Expenditure = 15 crore
Grant from central Government = 30% of 40 crore = 12 crore
Ratio = 15:12 => 5:4

164) Answer: A)
General Expenses = 3 crore
Income from Investment = 10% of 40 crore = 4 crore
“General expenses” is x times “income from investment” then
3 = 4x
x = 3/4 = 0.75

165) Answer: C)
Grant from central government = 30% of 40 crore = 12 crore
After increase 10% = 110% of 12crore = 13.2 crore
foreign contribution = 20% of 40 crore = 8 crore
After 10% decrease in foreign contribution = 90% of 8 crore = 7.2 crore
Total increase in donation = [13.2 + 7.2] – [12 + 8] = 0.4 crore
Gradual increase in expenditure = (39/40)*40.4 = 39.39 crore
Gradual increase in A =(10/39)*39.4 = 10.10 crore
% increase = (0.10/10)*100 = 1%

Solution (166-170):
166) Answer: E)
The difference between the working females in Bangalore and the working males in Chennai = 32.5 ⎯ 22.5 = 10
lakh

167) Answer: B)
Income per working person = Total income of city / Number of working people in city
Income per working person in Delhi = 200
Crore x 36/100 / (30+25) Lakh = 72 / 55 = Rs.130.9
In Chennai = 200 x 16/100 / (22.5+17.5) Lakh = Rs.80
In Mumbai = 200 x 20/100 / (35+30) Lakh = Rs.61.53
In Kolkata = 200 x 14/100 / (30+32.5) Lakh = Rs.44.8
In Bangalore = 200 x 10/100 / (25+32.5) Lakh = Rs.34.78
In Jaipur = 200 x 4/100 / (17.5+25) Lakh = Rs.18.82
The income per working person in Jaipur is the minimum.

168) Answer: D)
Average number of working males = 1/6 × (30 + 22.5 + 35 + 30 + 25 + 17.5) = 26.66 lakh
Average number of working females = 1/6 × (25 + 17.5 + 30 + 32.5 + 32.5 + 25) =27.08 lakh
So, required sum = 26.66 + 27.08 = 53.75 lakh

169) Answer: A)
Total income of Delhi = [200 ×36/100] = Rs.72 Crore
Income per person = 72 Crore / 55 Lakh = Rs.130.9
So, required difference of income = 5 lakh × 130.9 = Rs.654.5 lakh
= Rs.6.545 Crore

170) Answer: C)
Required % = 30/25 × 100 = 120%
Solution (171-175):
171) Answer: C)
The number of people who died in train accidents in 2013 = 400 + 500 + 600 + 700 = 2200
The number of people who died in train accidents in 2011 = 100 + 200 + 600 + 700 = 1600
So, required % = 2200 – 1600 x 100 / 1600 = 37.5%

172) Answer: C)
Average number of people who died in train accidents in all states in 2008 = 1/4 × (100 + 200 + 300 + 500)
= 1100/4 = 275

173) Answer: B)
The number of deaths in train accidents in Bihar = 100 + 300 + 300 + 200 + 500 + 600 + 400 = 2400
Similarly, in UP = 500 + 600 + 500 + 700 + 600 + 700 + 600 = 4200
In Maharashtra = 200 + 400 + 100 + 100 + 300 + 400 + 300 = 1800
In Odisha = 300 + 200 + 700 + 600 + 400 + 500 + 200 = 2900
In UP the number of people who died in train accidents is the maximum.
Quicker method it is clear from the graph that the highest number of people died in UP.

174) Answer: D)
The number of train accidents in 2014 = 200 × 18/100 = 36
The number of train accidents in 2012 = 200 × 14/100 = 28
So, required difference = 36 ⎯ 28 = 8

175) Answer: E)
The ratio of the number of deaths in 2010 to that in 2014 = (100 + 300 + 500 + 700) : (200 + 300 + 400 + 600) =
1600 : 1500 = 16 : 15

Solution (176-180):
176) Answer: B)
Productivity = Total Production / Area of agricultural land
Productivity of UP = (35 + 30 + 25) x 1000 / 2 Lakh x 30/100 = 90000 / 60000 = 1.5 tonnes per sq km
Productivity of MP = (30 + 32.5 + 27.5) x 1000 / 2 Lakh x 25/100 = 90000 / 50000 = 1.8 tonne per sq km
Productivity of Bihar = (22.5 + 25 + 27.5) x 1000 / 2 Lakh x 20/100 = 75000 / 40000 = 1.875 tonnes per sq km
Productivity of Odisha = (22.5 + 15 + 10) x 1000 / 2 Lakh x 5/100 = 47.5 x 1000 / 10000 = 4.75 tonnes per sq
km
Productivity of Haryana = (25 + 35 + 30) x 1000 / 2 Lakh x 8/100 = 90000 / 16000 = 5.625 tonnes per sq km
Productivity of Punjab = (40 + 30 + 35) x 1000 / 2 Lakh x 12/100 = 105000 / 24000 = 4.375 tonnes per
So, productivity of Haryana is the maximum

177) Answer: E)
Production of Punjab is maximum = 105000 tonnes

178) Answer: C)
Production of Wheat in Punjab = 40000 tonnes
Production of Maize in Odisha = 10000 tonnes
So, required % = 40000 – 10000 / 10000 × 100% = 300%

179) Answer: D)
The ratio of production of Rice in Bihar to the production of Wheat in Haryana = 25000 tonnes : 25000 tonnes =
1:1

180) Answer: A)
Income of MP from export of 40% of Rice at the rate of Rs.30 per kg = 32500 × 40/100 × 1000 × 30 = Rs.39
Crore
Income of UP from export of 30% of Rice at the rate of Rs.32 per kg = 30000 × 1000 × 30/100 × 32 = Rs.28.8
Crore
So, required ratio = 39 : 28.8 = 390 : 288 = 65 : 48
Solution (181-185):
181. Answer: (D)
DIFFERENCE = Rs. [(10% of 4.75) - (8% of 4.75)]
= Rs. (2% of 4.75) lakhs
= Rs. 0.095 lakhs

Detailed Solution for (Set- 41 to 50)

Solution (201-205):
201) Answer: D)
Required ratio = 5040/3360=1.5

202) Answer: A)
Foreign exchange reseryes in 1997-98 = 5040 million US $
Foreign exchange reserves in 1993-94 = 2520 million US $
Increase = (5040 — 2520) = 2520 million US $.
Percentage increase =[ (2520/2520) x 100)]% = 100%.

203) Answer: A)
There is an increase in foreign exchange reserves during the years 1992-93,
1994-95 1996-97 and 1997-98 as compared to previous year (as shown by
bar-graph).
The percentage increase in reserves during these years compared to previous
year are :
(i) For 1992-93 =[{(3720-2640)/2640 }* 100] % = 40.91%
(ii) F01‘ 1994-95 =[{(3360 - 2520)/2520}* 100] % = 33.33%
(iii) For 1996-97 =[{(4320 - 3120)/3120}*100] % = 38.46%
(iv) For 1997-98 =[{ (5040 - 4320)/4320}*100] % = 16.67%
Clearly, the percentage increase over previous year is highest for 1992-93.

204) Answer: D)
Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period
= [(2640 + 3720 + 2520 + 3360 + 3120+ 4320 + 5040 + 3120)] million US $
= 3480 million US $.
Foreign exchange reserves in 1996-97 = 4320 million US $.
Required Percentage = [( 4320/3480)*100)]% = 124.14% = 125%.

205) Answer: C)
Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period = 3480 million US$.
The country had reserves above 3480 million US $ during the years 1992-93, 1996-97 and 1997-98 ie., for 3
years and below 3480 million US$ during the years 1991-92, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-96 and 1998-99 ie., for5
years.
Hence, required ratio = 3 :5

215) Answer: B)

Solution (216-220):
216) C
Percentage of his expenditure spent on rent =15%
Percentage of his expenditure spent on transport and food =30%
⇒ 30%−15%=15% = Rs 4500
Monthly expenses:
= 100% = ( 100/15) X 4500
= Rs. 30,000

217) A
Let his monthly income be Rs x.
Original savings = Rs. ( 10/100)x
New Savings = ( 10/100)x + 20/100(10x/100)
= Rs. ( 12/100)x
Original expenditure = x – (10/100)x
= Rs. (90/100)x
New expenditure:
= (90/100)x – (20/100) ( 90x/100)

218) E
Expenditure on entertainment:
=20%of(35% of others)=7% of the total expenses⇒ 2100=7% of total expenses
Also education accounts for 20% of the total expenses.
⇒ Expenditure on education:

220) D
Decrease in expenditure on ‘others’:
=10,500−10,290= Rs 210⇒ initial expenditure on clothes:
= 210 (100/10)
= Rs. 2100

Total budget estimated (BE) for the given ministries
= 2430 + 5411 + 3465 + 5036
= 16342
Average =16342/4=4085.5
Total Revised estimated (RE)
= 2524 + 5285 + 5463 + 4360
= 17632
Average =17632/4=4408
Required difference = 4408 - 4085.5 = 322.5 cr

223) Answer: D)
Revised estimated Budget for Ministry of Agriculture and farmer’s welfare
= 44485 + 3587 = 48072
Revised estimated budget for Ministry of Health & family welfare = 38206 + 1482 = 39688
Total = 39688 + 48072

224) Answer: A)

225) Answer: C)

Solution (226-230):
226) Answer: c)
We shall first determine the number of cars of each model produced by the Company during the two years:
In 2000: Total number of cars produced = 3,50,000.
P = (30 – 0)% of 3,50,000 = 30% of 3,50,000 = 1,05,000
Q = (45 – 30)% of 3,50,000 = 15% of 3,50,000 = 52,500
R = (65 – 45)% of 3,50,000 = 20% of 3,50,000 = 70,000
S = (75 – 65)% of 3,50,000 = 10% of 3,50,000 = 35,000
T = (90 – 75)% of 3,50,000 = 15% of 3,50,000 = 52,500
U = (100 – 90)% of 3,50,000 = 10% of 3,50,000 = 35,000.
In 2001: Total number of cars produced = 4,40,000.
P = (40 – 0)% of 4,40,000 = 40% of 4,40,000 = 1,76,000
Q = (60 – 40)% of 4,40,000 = 20% of 4,40,000 = 88,000
R = (75 – 60)% of 4,40,000 = 15% of 4,40,000 = 66,000
S = (85 – 75)% of 4,40,000 = 10% of 4,40,000 = 44,000
T = (95 – 85)% of 4,40,000 = 10% of 4,40,000 = 44,000
U = (100 – 95)% of 4,40,000 = 5% of 4,40,000 = 22,000
Now, we shall solve the questions.
Total number of cars of models P, Q and T manufactured in 2000
= (105000 + 52500 + 52500) = 2,10,000.

227) Answer: B)
Using the above calculation, the percentage change (rise/fall) in production from 2000 to 2001 for various model
is:

∴ Minimum percentage rise/fall in production is in the case of model R.

228) Answer: A)
Required difference = 88000 – 52500 = 35500

229) Answer: B)
If the percentage production of P type cars in 2001 = percentage production of P type cars in 2000 = 30%
Then, number of P type cars produced in 2001 = 30% of 440000 = 132000.

230) Answer: C)
Number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2000 = 15% of 350000
and number of S type car which remained unsold in 2001 = 15% of 440000
∴ Total number of S type cars which remained unsold
= 15% of (35000 + 44000) = 15% of 790000 = 118500.
Solution (231-235):

231) Answer: D)
Runs scored by 4’s = 13*4 = 52
Total 6’s = 10, Each player except Pujara hit at least a 6. And Kohli hit the maximum 6’s. So 6’s by Kohli = 4.
So runs scored by 6’s = 4*6 = 24
Total runs scored by 4’s and 6’s = 52+24 = 76
For these runs balls played are 13+4 = 17 …….(1)
So runs by 1’2 and 2’s = 148-76 = 72
1’s and 2’s runs ratio = 1 : 5
So 12 runs by 1’2 and 60(2*30) by 2’s
So balls for 1’s and 2’s = 12+30 = 42 ……..(2)
So total balls = 17+42 = 59
So number of white balls = 104 – 59 = 45

232) Answer: A)
Runs scored by 4’s = 11*4 = 44 ….(1)
by 6’s = 3*6 = 18 ……(2)
Total runs by 4’s and 6’s = 44+18 = 62
remaining runs = 81-62 = 19
By taking 1’s and 2’s he has scored these 19 runs. To minimize the number of balls Dhoni has to score more runs
taking 2’s. So he can score 18 runs by taking 2’s and 1 by taking a 1.
So balls for 1’s and 2’s = 9+1 = 10 …….(3)
So total balls (minimum) = 11+3+10 = 24

233) Answer: B)
Runs by 4’s = 2*4 = 8 ….(1)
Number of white balls = 6
So remaining balls = 21 – (2+6) = 13
So, to maximize his score in 13 balls, he can take 7 one’s and 6 two’s. ……(2)
So a maximum of 8 + 7*1 + 6*2 = 27 runs

234) Answer: E)
In order to find the minimum score of team, we have to find the minimum runs scored by Pujara.
he takes 2 four’s so 2*4 = 8 runs
So now 21-2 = 19 balls left. Now given that he faced 6 white balls, So now balls left = 19-6 = 13 balls. Now for
minimum runs, he should score more 1’s than 2’s
Since at least one 1’s and one 2’s is necessary so minimum runs on 13 balls is 1*12 + 2*1
So total min runs by Pujara = 2*4 + 1*12 + 2*1 = 22
So minimum score of team = 148+40+37+22+13+81 = 341

First find the maximum runs scored and minimum balls faced.
Minimum number of balls faced by Dhoni = 24
Maximum runs scored by Pujara = 2*12 + 1*1 + 4*2 = 33
Maximum runs scored by team = 148+40+37+33+13+81 = 352
Minimum number of balls faced = 104+55+42+21+5+24 = 251 balls or 251/6 = 41.5 overs
So maximum run rate = 352/41.5 = 8.48

Solution (236-240):
236) Answer: D)
First find each of the total products
A’s production is 10% above the target value of 1250.
So
A – 110/100 * 1250 = 1375
B – 116/100 * 1250 = 1450
C – 108/100 * 1250 = 1350
D – 112/100 * 1250 = 1400
E – 110/100 * 1250 = 1375
F – 118/100 * 1250 = 1475
Defective D products = 1/7 * 1400 = 200
Defective E products = 3/11 * 1375 = 375
So total = 200+375 = 575

237) Answer: A)
Non-Defective B products = 4/5 * 1450 = 1160
Non-Defective E products = 8/11 * 1375 = 1000
Defective A products = 2/11 * 1375 = 250
Defective F products = 1/5 * 1475 = 295
So required ans = (1160+1000) – (250+295) = 1615

238) Answer: C)
Defective A products = 250
Defective B products = 1/5 * 1450 = 290
So loss = 250*100 + 290*120 = Rs (25000 + 34800) = Rs 59800

239) Answer: B)
CP of C products = 1350 * 50 = Rs 67500
CP of E products = 1375 * 60 = Rs 82500
So total CP of C and E = 67500 + 82500 = Rs 1,50,000
Non-Defective C products = 7/9 * 1350 = 1050
So amount got by selling these Non-Defective C products = 1050*60 = Rs 63000
Non-Defective E products = 8/11 * 1375 = 1000
So amount got by selling these Non-Defective E products = 1000*80 = Rs 80000
So total SP of Non-Defective C and E products = 63000 + 80000 = Rs 1,43000
Defective C and E products are returned, so that is a loss.
So Loss % = (150000 – 143000)/150000 * 100 = 4.67%

240) Answer: D)
Defective A products = 250
Defective B products = 290
Defective C products = 300
Defective D products = 200
Defective E products = 375
Defective F products = 295
So penalty = (250+290+200)*5 + (300+375+295)*6 = 3700 + 5820 = Rs 9520

Detailed Solution for (Set- 51 to 60)
Solution (251-255):
251) Answer: D)
Total income of Companies M and N together
= (35 + 50) million US $
= 85 million US $
Total expenditure of Companies M and N together
= (45 + 40) million US $
= 85 million US $.
Therefore Percent Profit/Loss of companies M and N together
% Profit/Loss = ((85-85)/85)x100%= 0%.
Thus, there was neither loss nor profit for companies M and N together.

252) Answer: A)
Total income of all five companies
= (35 + 50 + 40 + 40 + 50) million US $
= 215 million US $.
Total expenditure of all five companies
= (45 + 40 + 45 + 30 + 45) million US $
= 205 million US $.
Therefore % Profit = ((215-205)/205)x100% = 4.88% ~= 5%.

253) Answer: D)

254) Answer: D)
Let the expenditure of Company R in 2000 be x million US $.
Then, expenditure of Company R in 2001 = ( 120/100xx) million US $.
Therefore 120x/100= 45 => x = 37.5.
i.e., expenditure of Company R in 2000 = 37.5 million US $.
Let the income of Company R in 2000 be I million US $.
Then, 10 = ((I-37.5)/37.5)x100 [ Ref %Profit in 2000 = 10%]
=> I - 37.5 = 3.75
=> I = 41.25
i.e., Income of Company R in 2000 = 41.25 million US $.

The differences between the amount invested in raw material and the value of sales of finished goods for various
years are:
For 1995 = Rs. (200 - 120) lakhs = Rs. 80 lakhs.
For 1996 = Rs. (300 - 225) lakhs = Rs. 75 lakhs.
For 1997 = Rs. (500 - 375) lakhs = Rs. 125 lakhs.
For 1998 = Rs. (400 - 330) lakhs = Rs. 70 lakhs.
For 1999 = Rs. (600 - 525) lakhs = Rs. 75 lakhs.
For 2000 = Rs. (460 - 420) lakhs = Rs. 40 lakhs.
Clearly, maximum difference was during 1997.

265) Answer: A)

Solution (266-270):
266) Answer: C)
Number of students who passed half-yearly exams in the school
= (Number of students passed in half-yearly but failed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both
exams)
= (6 + 17 + 9 + 15) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)
= 288.

 BASE INSTITUTE – NAMAKKAL | www.ibpsguide.com
Also, Number of students who passed annual exams in the school
= (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both
exams)
= (14 + 12 + 8 + 13) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)
= 288.
Since, the number of students passed in half-yearly = the number of students passed in annual exams. Therefore,
it can be inferred that both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level.
Thus Statements (a), (b) and (d) are false and Statement (c) is true.

267) Answer: D)
Since the classification of the students on the basis of their results and sections form independent groups, so the
total number of students in the class:
= (28 + 23 + 17 + 27 + 14 + 12 + 8 + 13 + 6 + 17 + 9 + 15 + 64 + 55 + 46 + 76)
= 430.

268) Answer: D)
Pass percentages in at least one of the two examinations for different sections are:

269). Answer: A)
Total number of students passed in annual exams in a section
= [ (No. of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams) + (No. of students passed in both exams) ]
in that section
Therefore Success rate in annual exams in Section A

272) Answer: B)
Total population of State S = 7 million.
Therefore Population above poverty line = [(100 - 19)% of 7] million
= (81% of 7) million = 5.67 million.
And so, the number of females above poverty line in State S
= (3/7)x5.67 million
= 2.43 million.

280.I) Answer: D)

Solution (281-285):

281). B) In 2007-08 = (99100−88600)/88600×100 = 11.86% increase

In 2008-09 = (99100−97500)/97500×100 = 1.6% increase
In 2009-10 = (104500 − 97500)/97500 = 7.17% increase
In 2010-11 = (116100−104500)/104500 = 11.10% increase

282). C) Profit = Income - Expenditure

Profit in 2006-07 = 88600 - 86000 = Rs. 600 crore
In 2007-08 = 99100 - 87500 = Rs. 11600 cr
In 2008-09 = 975OO - 785OO = Rs. 19000 cr
In 2009-10 = 104500 - 95000 = Rs. 9500 cr
In 2010-11 = 116100 - 105000 = Rs. 11100 cr
Hence the profit of the Railways in 2008-09 is the maximum.

283). C) Average income of the Railways by Passenger trains

= (25800+30500+28800+35500+36100)/5 = 156700/5 = 31340
Hence there are three years in which there is less income than the average income earned by Passenger trains.

284). A) Required percentage = 68600/156700 = 43.77% = 44%

285). C) Required Ratio = 97500/104500 = 195/209 = 195 : 209

CI earned under Silver Scheme of DENA Bank
= 48000 { (1 + 9/100)^2 –1) }
= (48000 × 0.1881) = 9028.8
Total interest earned by Mr. Anand
= (5700 + 9028.8) = 14728.8
Answer is: a)

312). Let the principal be x, Interest accrued from UCO Bank = x × 2 × 9/100 = 9x/50
Interest accrued from IDBI Bank = 9.5x/50
= 9.5x/50 + 9x/50 = 14800

316). Answer: 2)
Total expenditure of School B = 1000000 x 95/100 = Rs. 950000 = Rs. 9.5 lakh.
Therefore, Expenditure on teachers of School A = 1000000 x 30/100 = Rs. 300000 lakh = Rs. 3 lakh
Expenditure on non-teaching staff of School à B = 950000 x 20/100 = Rs.190000 = Rs. 1.9 lakh

 BASE INSTITUTE – NAMAKKAL | www.ibpsguide.com
Therefore, Reqd. difference = (3 lakh – 1.9 lakh) = Rs. 1.1 lakh

317). Answer: 4)
Given total expenditure of School A = Rs. 10 lakh
Total expenditure of School B = 1000000 x 100 / 80 = Rs. 1250000 = Rs. 12.5 lakh
Therefore, Expenditure of School B on tour =1250000 x 12 / 100 = 150000 = 1.5 lakh
Expenditure of School A on tour = 1000000 x 10 / 100 = Rs. l lakh
Therefore, Reqd. ratio = 150000: 100000 = 3: 2

318). Answer: 4)
Salary of all the teachers in School A = 1000000 x 30 / 100 = Rs. 300000
Number of new teachers = 60 x 30 / 100 = 18
Number of old teachers = (60 –18) = 42
Let the salary of an old teacher be Rs. x.
Salary of a new teacher = x × 60 / 100 = 3x / 5
Now, salary of principal =Rs. 11x / 10
So, x × 41 + 11x/10 + 3x × 18 / 5 = 300000
(410x +11x+ 54x) / 10 = 300000
or, 475x= 300000 x 10
x = 300000 x10 / 475 à x = Rs. 6315.78
Salary of a new teacher = 6315.78 × 3 / 5 = 3789.47

319). Answer: 5)
In summer vacation there is no expenditure on sports, tour, electricity and lab.
The remaining expenditure = expenditure on teacher + non-teaching staff + others
= 30 + 15 + 14 = 59%
Therefore, Expenditure reduces by (100 – 59 =) 41%

320). Answer: 3)
In School B, the expenditure on non-teaching staff = 12 x 20/100 = 2.4 lakh
Expenditure on each non-teaching staff = 240000 / 50 = Rs. 4800
After removing 30% the number of non-teaching staff= 50 x 70 / 100 = 35
Salary of 35 non-teaching staff = 35 x 4800 = Rs.168000 =1.68 lakh
Therefore, Reduction in expenditure = 2.4 lakh – 1.68 lakh = 0.72 lakh = Rs. 72000
Therefore, Percentage reduction in total expenditure = 72000 /1200000 x 100 = 6%

324). Option C)

325). Option B
Profit= Rs. 36
CP = 20+ 3 + 2 = Rs. 25
SP = 36+25 = Rs. 61
SP is reduced by 12.5% = 61 × (87.5/100)
= Rs. 53.37
Approx = Rs. 53
Solution (326-330):

326). Debt service ratio = Debt servicing cost / National Income

To bring down the ratio from 8% to 7.5%, national income must rise by 8 / 7.5,
Ie, 16 / 15 times, ie by 1 / 15 × 100 = 6.67%
All other income except Agriculture remains constant.
Agricultural income should rise by 6.67 / 23 × 100 = 29%.
Answer: b)

327). External borrowing = 9% of resources available.

65% of external borrowings spent on industrial development
= 65 / 100 × 9% = 5.85% of total resources.
Assuming the budget to be a zero-deficit one, ie rupee earned - rupee spent = 0, we find the proportion of foreign
finance (external borrowings) in industrial development
= 5.85 / 14 × 100 = 42%.
Answer: c)

328). Again, assuming a zero-deficit budget, 18% of rupee earned = 123,000 million.
Extra money pumped = 32% - 23% = 9%, which is 18% = 1,23,000
Extra money pumped = 1,23,000 × (9/18) = Rs 61,500 million.
Answer: c)

329). Internal borrowings are decreased by 50%.

Internal borrowings = 0.5 × 17 = 8.5
External borrowings cannot be increased.
Rupee earned by other resources should increase by (8.5 / 74) × 100 = 11.5%
Answer: a)

330). Total spend on agriculture and industry = 32 + 14 = 46%

Required reduction = 9 / 32 × 100 = 28.13%
Answer: e)

Solution (331-335):

331). Required no. of college students=8.52 cr × (18/100) × (19/100) × (30/100) = 0.0874152 crore = 874152
Required no. of corporate persons=8.52 cr × (18/100) × (17/100) × (20/100) = 0.0521424 crore = 521424
Required difference = 874152 – 521424 = 352728
Answer: d)

332). Required %=[8.52 × (20/100) × (19/100) × (40/100)] / [8.52× (22/100) × (25/100) × (30/100)] ×

(18/100) × (20/100)
= [(8.52×18×20) / (100×100×100) ] (22+20+17)
= (8.52×18×20×59)/(100×100×100) = 0.1809648 crore
=1809648
Total number of persons in others category who read Economic Times from city A and E together
= 8.52 (18/100) × (17/100) × (10/100) + 8.52 × (23/100) × (17/100) × (10/100)
=[(8.52×17×10) / (100×100×100) ] (23+18)
= (8.52×17×10×41)/(100×100×100) = 593844

Answer: b)

Solution (341-345):

341). Time taken by boat A to travel 200 km = [200 / (18 – 10)] = 25 hrs
Time taken by boat B to travel 312 km = [312 / (14 + 12)[ = 12 hrs
:. Reqd difference = (25 – 12) = 13 hours
Answer: d)

342). Total distance travelled by Shyam = 1000 km

Distance covered by boat A = 1000 × (40 / 100)
= 400 km
Time taken by boat A = [400 / (18 – 10)[ = 50 hours
Time taken by boat B = {[1000 × (18 / 100)] / (14 – 12)} = 90 hours
Time taken by boat C = {[1000 × (26 / 100)] / (10 – 6)} = 65 hours
Time taken by boat D = {[1000 × (16 / 100)] / (14 – 10)} = 40 hours
:.Total time taken by Shyam = (50 + 90 + 65 + 40) = 245 hours
Answer: b)

343). Speed of boat C after 40% increase in its speed = [10 × (140 / 100)] = 14 kmph
Speed of stream after 20% decrease = [6 × (80 / 100)] = 4.8 kmph
Now, time taken by boat C = [200 / (14 – 4.8)] = (200 / 9.2) = 21 17/23 hours
Time taken by boat previously = 200 / (10 – 6)

:.Difference = [50 – 21 17/23] = [28 (6 / 23)] hours
Answer: a)

344). New speed of boat D = [14 × (110 / 100)] = 15.4 kmph

Time taken to travel 500 km = [500 / (15.4 – 10)] = 92.59
Time taken to travel 1500 km = [1500 / (15.4 – 10)] = 277.77
Required percentage = 92.59 / 277.77 × 100 = 33.33% ≈ 33%

Answer: b)

345). Time taken by boat C = [x km / (10 + 6)]

Time taken by boat D = [x km / (10 + 14)]
Reqd ratio = (x / 16) : (x / 24) = 3 : 2
Answer: e)

Solution (346-350):
346). In 2010 – 11 = [(99100 – 88600) / 88600] × 100 = 11.85% increase
Similarly, in 2011 –12 = [(99100 – 97500) / 99100] × 100 = 1.6% decrease
In 2012 –13 = [(104500 – 97500) / 97500] = 7.17% increase
In 2013 –14 = [(116100 – 104500) / 104500] × 100 = 11.10% increase
Answer: b)

347). Profit = Income –Expenditure

Profit percentage = Profit / Expenditure × 100
Profit in 2009 – 10 = 88600 – 86000
= Rs. 2600 crore
Reqd. % = 2600 / 86000 × 100 = 3.02%
Similarly, in 2010 – 2011 = 99100 – 87500
= Rs. 11600 cr
Reqd. % = 11600 / 87500 × 100 = 13.25%
In 2011 –12 = 97500 – 78500
= Rs. 19000 cr
Reqd. % = 19000 / 78500 × 100 = 24.20%
In 2012 –13 = 104500 – 95000
= Rs. 9500 cr
Reqd. % = 9500 / 95000 × 100 = 10%
In 2013 –14 = 116100 –105000
= Rs. 11100 cr
Reqd. % = 11100 / 105000 × 100 = 10.57%
Hence the profit % of the Railways in 2011 – 12 is the maximum
Answer: c)

348). Average income of the Railways by Passenger trains

= (25800 + 30500 + 28800 + 35500 + 36100) / 5
= 156700 / 5 = 31340
Hence there are three years in which there is less income than the average income earned by Passenger trains.
Average expenditure of the Passenger + Goods carriage trains
= (86000 + 87500 + 78500 + 95000 + 105000) / 5
= 452000 / 5 = 90400
Hence there are two years in which there is more expenditure than the average expenditure earned by Passenger
and Goods carriage trains.

380). Total points scored from 3-pointers = 13 × 3 = 39
Total points scored from 2-pointers = 23 × 2 = 46
Required percentage = [(46-39)/46] × 100 = 15.21% ≈ 15%.
Answer: c)

Solution (381-385):

381). From graph (iii)

(Price of Bajaj/Price of Toyota) = (2/3); (Price of Maruti/Price of Bajaj) = (5/8); (Price of Honda/Price of
Maruthi) = 2; (Price of M & M / Price of Honda) = 1.1
If price of Bajaj car is 8x, then prices of Toyota, Maruti, Honda and M&M cars are 12x, 5x, 10x and 11x
respectively.
From graph (i),
Percentage shares of Honda and Toyota are 12.5% each while those of Bajaj, M&M and Maruti are 25% each.
Sales of M&M cars (in value) in 2004 = 11x × (25/100) × 50000 = 137500
Total sales (in value) = (8x + 11x + 5x) × (25/100) × 50000 + (12x + 10x) × (12.5/100) ×50000
= (24x + 11x) × (25/100) ×50000 = 35x× (25/100) ×50000 = 437500
Percentage share of sales of M&M cars = 137500 / 437500 × 100 = 31.428% ≈ 31%.
Answer: a)

382). (Sales of Toyota in November 2003 / Sales of Toyota in March 2004)

= [(20/100) × 55000] / [(12.5/100) ×50000]
= 220/125 = 44/25 = 1.76
Sales of Toyota in December 2003 / Sales of Toyota in February 2004
= [(18/100) × 65000] / [(12.5/100) ×60000]
= 1170/750 = 117/75 = 1.56
Required difference = 1.76 – 1.56 = 0.2
Answer: c)

383). If a Honda car costs Rs 2.5 lakhs,

Then a Bajaj car will cost  Honda / Maruti = 2  Maruti = 2.5/2 = 5/4
Maruti / Bajaj = 0.625  Bajaj = 5/ (4 × 0.625) = 2 lakhs
Sales of Bajaj cars in March 2004 = (25/100) ×50000×2 = 25000 lakhs.
Answer: c)

384). Ratio of price of all the given companies is

Toyoto : Bajaj : Maruti : Honda : M & M
3:2
8:5
1:2
10 : 11
= (3 × 8×1×10) : (2×8×1×10) : (2×5×1×10) : (2×5×2×10) : (2×5×2×11)
= 240 : 160 : 100 : 200 : 220 = 12 : 8 : 5 : 10 : 11
Volumes of production of Toyota, Bajaj, Maruti, Honda and M&M in March 2004 are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 2 : 1 : 2
Let x be present in the ratio of the price of each of the cars.
Average price in March 2004 = (12x×1+ 8x×2 + 5x×2 + 10x×1 + 11x×2) / (1+2+2+1+2) = 70x/8 = 8.75x
Therefore the prices of Toyota, Honda and M&M are greater than the average price of all cars in March 2004.
Answer: c)

385). From Graph (iii) : Ratio of market prices is Bajaj : M&M = 8x : 11x
11x – 8x = 3x = 1,08,000
x = 36,000

Now market price of Maruti = 5x = 180,000
Market price of Honda = 10x = 3,60,000
Required percentage = (3,60,000 - 180,000) / 3,60,000 × 100
= 180,000 / 3, 60,000 × 100
Required percentage = 50%.
Quicker Approach:
Ratio of price of Honda to Maruti = 2 : 1
Required ratio = (2-1)/2 × 100 = 50%
Note: There is no need of the cost of Bajaj car in March 2004.
Answer: b)
Solution (386-390):

386). Average price of Tomato in July

= 1 / 4 × (16 + 24 + 32 + 40) = 28 per kg
Average price of Tomato in August
= 1 / 4 × (16 + 32 + 48 + 56) = 38 per kg
Average price of Tomato in September
= 1 / 4 × (8 + 24 + 40 + 56) = 32 per kg
Average price of Tomato in October
= 1 / 4 × (8 + 16 + 48 + 56) = 32 per kg
Average price of Tomato in November
= 1 / 4 × (24 + 32 + 48 + 56) = 40 per kg
Average price of Tomato in December
= 1 / 4 × (32 + 40 + 48 + 56) = 44 per kg
In December the average price of Tomato per kg is the maximum and in July the average price of Tomato is the
minimum.
Answer: a)

387). Average price of Tomato in Mumbai

= 1 / 6 × (40 + 56 + 56 + 48 + 56 + 40)
= `49.33 kg
Average price of Tomato in Pune
= 1 / 6 × (32 + 16 + 24 + 16 + 24 + 56)
= `28 per kg
Average price of Tomato in Nagpur
= 1 / 6 × (16 + 32 + 8 + 56 + 48 + 48)
= `34.66 per kg
Average rate of Tomato in Thane
= 1 / 6 × (24 + 48 + 40 + 8 + 32 + 32)
= `30.66 per kg
Thus the maximum average price is in Mumbai.
Answer: a)

388). Total sale of Tomato in October

= 500 × 15 / 100 = 75 tonnes
Total sale of Tomato in November = 500 × 12 / 100 = 60 tonnes
Total income in a month = (average rate that month in all cities × total quantity)
Total income in October = 32 × 75 × 1000 = `2400000
Total income in November = 40 × 60 × 1000 = `2400 000
Required difference = 2400000 – 2400000 = 0

389). Total sale of Tomato in July = 500 × 25 / 100 = 125 tonnes
Total sales in Pune in July = 125 × 35 / 100 = 43.75 tonnes
Its total cost = 43.75 × 1000 × 32 = 1400000
Total sale of Tomato in September = 500 × 26 / 100 = 130 tonnes
Total sales in Thane in September = 130 × 55 / 100 = 71.50 tonnes
Its total cost = 71.50 × 1000 × 40 = 2860000
Required difference = 2860000 – 1400000
= 1460000
Answer: e)

390). Price of Tomato in July, August and September in Mumbai = `40 + 56 + 56 per kg
= 152 kg
Price of Tomato in September, October and November in Nagpur = `8 + 56 + 48 per kg
= 112 kg
Required % = 152 × 100 / 112 = 135.71% ≈ 136%
Answer: a)

Solution (391-395):

391). DIFFERENCE = [4.75 × (1+(10/2/100)]2 - 4.75 × (1+8/100)

= [4.75 × (105/100)]2 – 4.75 × (108/100)
= 5.236 – 5.13
= 0.106 lakhs
= 10600
Answer: d)

392). Let the amounts invested in 2002 in Companies P and Q be Rs. 8x and Rs. 9xrespectively.
Then, interest received after one year from Company P = Rs. (6% of 8x)
= Rs. (48x/100)
and interest received after one year from Company Q = Rs. (4% of 9x)
= Rs. (36x/100)
Required ratio = 4/3 = 1.33
Let the amounts invested in 2001 in Companies P and Q be Rs. 13x and Rs. 15xrespectively.
Then, interest received after one year from Company P = Rs. (6.5% of 8x)
= Rs. (52x/100)
and interest received after one year from Company Q = Rs. (8% of 9x)
= Rs. (72x/100)
Required ratio = 52/72 = 13/18 = 0.722
Required difference = 1.33 – 0.722 -= 0.611
Answer: d)

393). Let amount invested in company P be Rs. x and the amount invested in company Q will be Rs. (30 – x).
Then,
7.5/100 × x × 1 + 9/100 × (30 – x) × 1 = 2.43
0.075x + 2.7 – 0.9x = 2.43
- 0.015x = - 0.27
x = 270 / 15 = 18 lakhs
Answer: d)

394). Amount received from Company P after one year (i.e., in 1999) on investing Rs. 12 lakhs in it
= Rs. [12 + (8% of 12)] lakhs
= Rs. 12.96 lakhs.
Amount received from Company P after one more year i.e ., in 2000 on investing Rs. 12.96 lakhs in it

 BASE INSTITUTE – NAMAKKAL | www.ibpsguide.com
= Rs. [12.96 + (10% of 12.96)] lakhs
= Rs. 14.256 lakhs.
Appreciation received on investment during the period of two years
= Rs. (14.256 - 12) lakhs
= Rs. 2.256 lakhs = Rs. 2, 25,600
Answer: c)

395). Amount received from Company Q after one year on investment of Rs. 5 lakhs in the year
1996
= Rs. [5 + (6.5% of 5)] lakhs
= Rs. 5.325 lakhs.
Amount received from Company P after one year on investment of Rs. 5.325 lakhs in the year 1997
= Rs. [5.325 + (9% of 5.325)] lakhs
= Rs. 5.80425 lakhs
= Rs. 5, 80, 425
Answer: b)

Solution (396-400):

396. Average population (in thousands) of both the towns in 1994

= (45 + 44 + 48 + 45)/2
= 182 / 2 = 91 and
Average population (in thousands) of both the towns in 1998
= (50 + 47 + 50 + 47)/ 2
= 194 / 2 = 97
:. Required percentage increase = (97-97) / 91 × 100
= 6.59%
≈ 7%.
Answer: c)

397. No. of males in X and Y together

= 45 + 44 + 47 + 44 + 50 + 47 + 47 + 48 + 50 + 47
= 469 thousand
No. of females in X and Y together
= 45 + 48 + 47 + 49 + 47 + 48 + 50 + 50 + 47 + 50
= 481 thousand
Required percentage = 469 / 481 × 100

Answer: b)

398. Population of X and Y in 1996 and 1998

= (50 + 47 + 47 + 48 + 50 + 50 + 47 + 47) × 1000 = 386000
Population of X and Y in 1994 and 1995
= (45 + 44 + 48 + 45 + 47 + 47 + 44 + 49) × 1000 = 369000
Now, 386 × 1000 = x × 369 × 1000
:. x = (386/369) = 1.046
Answer: a)

399. Average number of females for

Detailed Solution for (Set- 81 to 90)

Solution (401-405):
401). Answer: D)
Since the investment in 2011 is for the entire year,
Ratio of return of Amar, Akbar and Anthony = 7500:9000:12000 = 5:6:8
Return of Akbar = 42500 x 6/5 = Rs 51000
Return of Anthony = 42500 x 8/5 = Rs 68000
Required difference = 68000-51000 = Rs 17000

402). Answer: C)
Amar's return in 2012 = 86700-(25500+27200) = 34000
Suppose Amar invested for n months.
Ratio of profit realized by Amar and Anthony = 6000n : 4000x12 = n:8
n:8 = 34000:27200 = 10:1
Thus, n = 10

403). Answer: B)
Since the investment in 2013 is for the entire year, ratio of investment = ratio of return.
Akbar's monthly investment in 2013 = 5000 x 1.5 = Rs 7500
Amar's return = 45000 x 5500/9000 = 27500
Akbar's return = 45000 x 7500/9000 = 37500
Total return = 27500+37500+45000 = Rs 110000

404). Answer: E)
Since the investment in 2014 is for the entire year, ratio of investment = ratio of return.
Suppose Anthony invested Rs N.
6000:N = 31500:25200 = 5:4
=> N = 4800
So, Amar invested 4800 x 3/2 = 7200
Total investment = 7200+6000+4800 = Rs 18000

405). Answer: A)
Suppose the amounts invested by Amar, Akbar and Anthony are A, B and C respectively.
Ratio of investment x time = ratio of return
For Amar and Akbar, 12A:8B = 40500:40500 = 1:1
=> A:B = 2:3
For Akbar and Anthony
8B:8C = 40500:36000 = 9:8
=> B:C = 9:8
Hence A:B:C = 6:9:8

Component Expenditure
Advertisement 5400000
Material Prep 2100000
Printing 4500000
Salary 10800000
Admin Cost 3000000
Others 4200000

Now using the table we can calculate the expenses in 2012 and 2014.
For example the increase in expenditure in advertisement from 2012 was 35%. Hence expenditure in 2012 =
5400000 x 100/135 = 4000000
And from 2013 to 2014 it was 10%. Hence expenditure in 2014 = 5400000 x 1.1 = 5940000
Similarly we can calculate the expenses in other categories as well.
Component Expenditure
2012 2013 2014
Advertisement 4000000 5400000 5940000
Material Prep 2000000 2100000 2100000
Printing 4000000 4500000 5400000
Salary 10000000 10800000 13500000
Admin Cost 30000000 3000000 3450000
Others 3750000 4200000 5040000
Total 26750000 30000000 35430000

Expenditure in 2012 = 26750000

Expenditure in 2013 = 30000000
% increase = (3000-2675)/2675 x 100 = 12.15%

427). Answer: A)
This can be identified without even doing actual calculation. The increase in expenditure on advertisements was
35% from 2012 to 2013 and 10% from 2013 to 2014.

428). Answer: D)
Required % = 4000000/26750000 x 100 = 14.95%

429). Answer: B)
Suppose there were 4n employees in 2012
So the average salary = 10000000/4n = 2500000/n
Now there are 5n employees in 2014
Average salary = 13500000/5n = 2700000/n
Percentage increase = (27-25)/25 x 100 = 8%

430). Answer: B)
Required percentage = 5940000/35430000 x 100 = 16.77%

Solution (431-435):

431) Answer: B)
Number of females in a province = (% share of the province in total population) * (fraction of female population
in that province) Doing the above calculation for:
Number of females in Ghana = (25)*(1/5) = 5% of total population
Number of females in Kanha = (15)*(2/5) = 6% of total population
Number of females in Beegha = (35)*(4/7) = 20% of total population
Number of females in Dhaani = (5)*(4/10) = 2% of total population

Number of females in Bedha = (20)*(7/10) = 14% of total population
So, the female population of Beegha is the highest..

432) Answer: B)
Population of Beegha = 35% of kingdom population = (35*100,000)/100 = 35000
Population of Farmers in Beegha = 45% of Beegha's population = (45*35000)/100 = 15750
Population of female farmers in Beegha = 20% of farmers of Beegha = (20*15750)/100 = 3150 Total female
population of Beegha = (4/7)*35000 = 20,000
=> Percentage of total female population of Beegha, who are farmers = (3150/20000)*100 => = 15.75%

433) Answer: C)
From the definition of ACN, its formula can be written as:
ACN for a province = (% of population in Retail + % of population in Retail)* Total poplin of the province
Calculating ACN for each province:
Province ACN
Ghana 6250
Kanha 4500
Beegha 10500
Dhaani 1250
Bedha 10000
Beegha has the highest ACN.

434) Answer: A)
Solving for (I), Total population of Ghana working in Real Estate sector = (10% of Ghana population) =
(10/100)*(25/100)*100,000
= 2500----- ------ ----(i)
Total population of Ghana working in "Other" sector = (10% of Ghana population)
= 2500---- (ii)
Total population of Ghana working in the Real Estate and "Other" sectors = (i) + (ii)
= 5000---- ------ ---(iii)
Total population of Dhaani province = (5% of kingdom population)
= (5/100)*(100,000)
= 5000------------(iv)
Since, (iii) = (iv), therefore, (I) is true Now, solving for (II),
Total population of Beegha working in Engineering sector = (10% of Beegha province)
= (10/100)*(35/100)*100,000
= 3500 (i)
Total population of Beegha working in Retail sector = (10% of Beegha province)
= 3500 (ii)
Total population of Beegha working in Engineering and Retail sectors = (i) + (ii) = 7000
(iii) Male population of Kanha province = (3/5)*(Population of Kanha Province)
= (3/5)*(15/100)*100,000 = 9000 (iv)
Since, (iii) < (iv), therefore (II) is false.

435) Answer: E)
Male population in a province = [ratio of males/(ratio of males+ratio of females)]*(Population of the province)
Similarly,
Female population in a province = [ratio of females/(ratio of males+ratio of females)]*(Population of the
province)
The populations of males and females in different provinces is calculated below:

Total 124000 137000 139500 400500 85000

Students enrolled in Dancing from city A and E = (24500 + 17500) = 42000

Students enrolled in Craft from city B and C = (22500 + 26500) = 49000
Required ratio = 42000/49000 = 6:7
437). Answer: C)
Total enrollment in craft = (20000 + 22500 + 26500 + 20000 + 24000 + 26500) = 139500
Required average = 139500/6 = 23250
438). Answer: B)
Difference in dancing = 18000 x (55 - 45)/100 = 1800
Difference in drawing = 21500 x (60 - 40)/100 = 4300
Difference in craft = 26500 x (58 - 42)/100 = 4240
Required difference = (1800 + 4300 + 4240) = 10340
439). Answer: E)
From city A:
Dancing professional = 24500 x 20/100 = 4900
Drawing professional = 24000 x 25/100 = 6000 Total = (4900 + 6000) = 10900
Total professional = 15300 Craft professional = (15300 - 10900) = 4400
From city D:
Dancing professional = 20000 x 18/100 = 3600
Drawing professional = 18000 x 25/100 = 4500
Total = (3600 + 4500) = 8100
Total professional = 15300
Craft professional = (15300 - 8100) = 7200
Required ratio = 4400/7200 = 11:18
440) Answer: C)
Total enrollment from B and F = (73000 + 71000) = 144000

Solution (441-445):
441). Answer: C)
Total number of female PhDs in all the universities = (0.44 x 125) + (0.4 x 105) + (0.55 x 120) + (0.8 x 80) +
(0.35 x 100) = 262 Average = 262/5 = 52

442). Answer: D)
Total number of male teachers from University A, B and C = 175 + 250 + 180 = 605
Total number of male PhDs from University A, B and C = (0.32 x 175) + (0.74 x 250) + (0.45 x 180) = 322
Therefore, the total number of non-PhDs male teachers from University A, B and C = 605 - 322 = 283

443). Answer: A)
The number of non-PhD male teachers from University D and E = (0.35 x 320) + (0.7 x 290) = 315
The number of non-PhD female teachers from University D and E = (0.2 x 80) + (0.65 x 100) = 81 Ratio = 315 :
81 = 35 : 9

444). Answer: C)
Number of PhD female teachers from University E = 0.35 x 100 = 35
Number of male non-PhD teachers from the University E = 0.7 X 290 = 203
Difference = 203 - 35 = 168

445). Answer: C)
Number of PhD teachers in University B(both males and females) = (0.74 x 250) + (0.4 x 105) = 227
Total number of teachers from University B = 250 + 105 = 355
Required percentage = (227/355) x100 = 63.94%

Solution (446-450):

446). Answer: C)
Number of obese men in 2007 = 35% of 66000 = 23100
Number of obese women in 2007 = 25% of 54000 = 13500
Number of obese children in 2007 = 12.5% of 16000 = 2000
Total number of obese men, obese women and obese children in the year 2007 = 231 00 + 13500 + 2000 = 38600
Average = total/3 = 38600/3 = 12867

447). Answer: B)
Number of obese men in 2009 = 37.5% of 78000 = 0.375 X 78000
Number of men not suffering from obesity in 2009 = 62.5% of 78000 = 0.625 X 78000
Required percentage = {(0.375x78000)/ (0.625x78000) }X100 = 60%

448). Answer: D)
Number of obese women in 2006 = 20% of 60000
Number of obese men in 2008 = 27.5% of 70000

Marks by Ajay = 97.5 + 97.5 + 102 = 297
Required percentage = (353 - 297)/297 x 100 = 19%

Solution (471-475):
Number of passengers in flight B = 700
Number of passengers in flight A = 1.25 X 700 = 875
Total passengers going to Japan on that day = 700 + 875 = 1575
Number of overseas First Class passengers in flight B = 0.08 X 700 = 56
Number of Indian to overseas First Class passengers in flight B is in the ratio 3:2 • Number of Indian First Class
passengers in flight B = (3/2) X 56 = 84
Total First Class passengers in flight B = 56 + 84 = 140
The number of Indian Business Class passengers in flight A is one-ninth of the total passengers going to Japan
and the number of Business Class passengers in flight A is 20% of the total passengers going to Japan.
Number of Indian Business Class passengers in flight A = (1/9) X 1575 = 175 Similarly, number of Business
Class passengers in flight A = 0.2 X 1575 = 315
Number of overseas Business Class passengers in flight A = 315 -175 = 140
There are 335 Economy Class passengers in flight A, of which 115 are overseas passengers.
Number of Indian Economy Class passengers in flight A = 335 -115 = 220 Similarly, total number of First Class
passengers in flight A = 875 - (335 + 315) = 225
Similarly, total number of First Class passengers in flight A = 875 - (335 + 315) = 225 The First Class of flight A
has Indian and overseas passengers in the ratio 5:4
Number of Indian First Class passengers in flight A = (5/9) X 225 = 125
Similarly, number of overseas First Class passengers in flight A = 225 -125 = 100
The total number of First Class passengers in flight A is 9/10th of the total Economy Class passengers in flight B.
Total Economy Class Passengers in flight B = (10/9) X 225 = 250 20% of the passengers in flight B are Indians
in the Economy Class.
Number of Indian Economy Class passengers in flight B = 0.2 X 700 = 140
Number of overseas Economy Class passengers in flight B = 250 -140 = 110
Number of Business Class passengers in flight B = 700 - (250 + 140) = 310
Let there be x Indian passengers in the Business Class of flight A.
Hence, there are (x - 10) overseas passengers in the Business Class of flight A. ...x+x-10 =310 x = 160
Hence, number of Indian and overseas Business Class passengers in flight B are 160 and 150 respectively. Thus,
the number of passengers in each flight and for each type is as shown below:
Flight Classes Types
Indian 125
First 225
Overseas 100
Indian 175
A Business 315
Overseas 140
Indian 220
Economy 140
Overseas 56
Indian 84
B First 140
