(C) 50,00,000 tonnes
(D) 5,00,000 tonnes
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
(D)
Required difference = 50 – 45 = 5 lakh tonne
= 5,00,000 tonnes
2. What is the percentage increase in the production of company ‘A’ from 2000 to 2001?
(A) 37.5
(B) 38.25
(C) 35
(D) 36
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
(A)
Required percentage = (55 – 40)/40 * 100
= 75/2 = 37.5%
3. For which of the following years the percentage of rise/fall in production from the previous year is the maximum for company B?
(A) 2000
(B) 2001
(C) 2003
(D) 2002
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
(B)
In 2001 =(60 -50)/60 * 100 = 16.66%
4. The total production of company C in 2001 and 2002 is what percentage of the total production of company A in 1999 and 2000?
(A) 95
(B) 90.50
(C) 110
(D) 133.33
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
(D)
Required percentage = (60 + 60)/(50 + 40) * 100
120/90 * 100 = 133.33%
5. What is the difference between the average production per year of the company with highest average production and the company with lowest average production in lakh tones?
(A) 3.17
(B) 4.33
(C) 4.17
(D) 3.33
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
(C)
Average production of company A
= (50 + 40 + 55 + 45 + 60 + 50)/6
= 300/6 = 50 lakh tonnes
Average production of company B
= (55 + 60 + 50 + 55 + 50 + 55)/6
= 325/6 = 54.17 lakh tones
Average production of company C
= (45 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 45 + 40)/6
= 300/6 = 50 lakh tones
Required difference = 54.17 – 50

Q6-10.
Direction: Study the following graph carefully to answer the question given below.
The bar graph given below shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expense heads during 2003.
Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company
1. The total amount of expenditures of the company is how many times of expenditure on research and development?
(A) 27
(B) 20
(C) 18
(D) 8
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
(B)
Let the total expenditures be Rs. x.
Then, the expenditure on Research and Development (R & D)
2. If the expenditure on advertisement is 2.10 crores then the difference between the expenditure on transport and taxes is?
(A) Rs. 1.25 crores
(B) Rs. 95 lakhs
(C) Rs. 65 lakhs
(D) Rs. 35 lakhs
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
(D)
Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
Then, 15% of x = 2.10
Therefore, Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores
and so, the difference between the expenditures on transport and taxes
= Rs. [(12.5 – 10)% of 14] crores
= Rs. [2.5% of 14] crores
= Rs. 0.35 crores
= Rs. 35 lakhs
3. What is the ratio of the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport to the total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans?
(A) 5:4
(B) 8:7
(C) 9:7
(D) 13:11
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
(D)
Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.
Then, the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport
4. If the interest on loans amounted to Rs. 2.45 crores then the total amount of expenditure on advertisement, taxes, and research and development is?
(A) Rs. 7 crores
(B) Rs. 5.4 crores
(C) Rs. 4.2 crores
(D) Rs. 3 crores
(E) None of these
EXPLANATION
Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
Then, 17.5% of x = 2.45 
Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores.
and so, the total expenditure on advertisement, taxes, and Research and Development
= Rs. [(15 + 10 + 5)% of 14] crores
= Rs. [30% of 14] crores
= Rs. 4.2 crores.
5. The expenditure on the interest on loans is by what percent more than the expenditure on transport?
(A) 5%
(B) 10%
(C) 20%
(D) 40%
(E) None of these
