Question 1

Directions (51-55): There are five shops P, Q, R, S and T, and they sell two different items, A and B. The following pie chart shows the total number of items sold by different shops in a particular month. Total number of items sold = 500. What is the central angle corresponding to the tot

Accepted Answer

79.2°. In a pie chart, the central angle is proportional to the quantity represented. For shop S, the share corresponds to 22% of the total 500 items, so the angle is 22% of 360°. That gives 79.2°.

Question 2

If the number of viewers of theatre A in January 2016 increases by 20% and that of theatre B by 10% as compared to the corresponding number of viewers of these theatres in January 2015, then find the difference between the number of viewers of theatres A and B in January 2016.

Accepted Answer

22000. The question asks for the difference after applying percentage increases to the January 2015 viewer counts of theatres A and B. Using the chart values, theatre A becomes 20% higher and theatre B becomes 10% higher in January 2016. The resulting difference is 22,000.

Question 3

The number of viewers of theatre B in October is equal to the average of the viewers of the same theatre in September and November. Also, the viewers of theatre A in October are $\frac{5}{7}$ of the viewers of theatre B in October. Find the number of viewers of theatre A in October.

Accepted Answer

20000. The viewers of theatre B in October are the average of its September and November values. Once that value is obtained from the chart, theatre A in October is $\frac{5}{7}$ of B in October. This gives 20,000.

Question 4

In 2015, the total investment of A and B was ₹58,000. A and B invested their amounts for 6 months and 4 months respectively. Then, for how many months did C invest his amount?

Accepted Answer

Can't be determined. In partnership problems, profit depends on capital × time. Here, only A and B's total investment and their time periods are given; nothing is provided about C's investment or profit share. So C's investment duration cannot be determined uniquely.

Question 5

The average saving of C in both months is Rs. 19,200, while A’s income is 20% more than C’s income. Find A’s expense in the month of November.

Accepted Answer

Rs 24000. C’s average saving in two months is Rs. 19,200, so C’s total saving for both months is Rs. 38,400. Using the given relation in the set, A’s income becomes 20% more than C’s income, and then A’s November expense is obtained by subtracting November saving from A’s income. This gives Rs. 24,000.

Question 6

Directions (121-126): Read the following table carefully and answer the question given below. The table shows the total number of cars manufactured, the total number of cars sold, and the total number of cars unsold by four companies. | Company | Total cars manufactured | Total cars sold |

Accepted Answer

Z + 214. From D, unsold is one-third of sold, so if sold is $2Z+132$, then unsold is $\frac{2Z+132}{3}$, which equals $\frac{P}{3}+150$. Using the total sold sum and the given values for B and C, the variables resolve consistently to give E’s sold quantity as $Z+214$.

Question 10

Directions (144-148): Read the following bar graphs carefully and answer the questions given below. The bar graphs show the discount percentage given on the marked price of four different items in 2022 and 2024. Note: (i) The marked price of an item can be the same or different in both yea

Accepted Answer

Rs. 800. For item S, profit = 25% of cost price, so selling price = 125% of cost price. Also, marked price of S is Rs. 836 more than profit, so MP = profit + 836. Using the discount percentage from the bar graph for 2022, the marked price of item D comes out to Rs. 800.

Question 11

If the number of female graduates in village C is equal to the number of illiterate males in village C and the difference between the number of graduate females and undergraduate females in village C is 120, then find the total population of village C. Note: There is only graduate and unde
