The percentage increase in reserves during these years compared to previous year are:
(3720 - 2640)
For 1992 - 1993 =
2640
x 100
% = 40.91%.
x 100
% = 33.33%.
x 100
% = 38.46%.
x 100
% = 16.67%.
(3360 - 2520)

(40 - 25)
In 1996 =
25
x 100
% = 60%.
(60 - 40)
In 1997 =
40
x 100
% = 50%.
In 1998 there is a decrease in production.

(65 - 45)
In 1999 =
45
x 100
% = 44.44%.
In 2000 there is a decrease in production.

(75 - 50)
In 2001 =
50
x 100
% = 50%.
x 100
% = 6.67%.
(80 - 75)
In 2002 =

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.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the total expenditures be Rs. x.
Then, the expenditure on Research and Development (R & D)
= Rs. (5% of x)
= Rs.
5
100 x x
= Rs.
20
x
.
Ratio of the total expenditure to the expenditure on R & D

x
=
x/20
20
Then, the total expenditure is 20 times the expenditure of Research and Development.
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
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
2.10 x 100
Then, 15% of x = 2.10
x=
= 14.
15
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.

expenditure on taxes and interest on loans?
A.
5:4
B.
8:7
C.
9:7
D.
13:11
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.
Then, the total expenditure on infrastruture and transport
= Rs. [(20 + 12.5)% of x]
= Rs. [32.5% of x]
32.5x
= Rs.
100
and total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans

= Rs. [(10 + 17.5)% of x]
= Rs. [27.5% of x]
27.5x
= Rs.
100
32.5x/100
Required ratio =
27.5x/100
13
= 11.
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
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
Then, 17.5% of x = 2.45
x = 14.
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%
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.
17.5
100 x
Then, the expenditure on interest on loans = Rs. (17.5% of x) = Rs.
and the expenditure on transport = Rs. (12.5% of x) = Rs.
12.5
100 x
17.5x
Difference between the two expenditures = Rs.
100
12.5x
-
100
5x
= Rs.
and so, the required percentage =
5x/100
12.5x/100 x 100

Percentage of Six different types of Cars manufactured by a Company over Two
Years
1.
What was the difference in the number of Q type cars produced in 2000 and that
produced in 2001?
A.
35,500
B.
27,000
C.
22,500
D.
17,500
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Total number of Q type cars produced in 2001
=(60 - 40)% of 4,40,000 = 88,000.
Total number of Q type cars produced in 2000
=(45 - 30)% of 3,50,000 = 52,500.
Required difference = (88000 - 52500) = 35,500.
2.
Total number of cars of models P, Q and T manufactured in 2000 is?

A.
2,45,000
B.
2,27,500
C.
2,10,000
D.
1,92,500
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Analysis of the graph:
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.
Total number of cars of models P, Q and T manufacture in 2000

= (105000 + 52500 + 52500)
= 2,10,000.
3.
If the percentage production of P type cars in 2001 was the same as that in 2000, then
the number of P type cars produced in 2001 would have been?
A.
1,40,000
B.
1,32,000
C.
1,17,000
D.
1,05,000
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
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 4,40,000
= 1,32,000.
4.
If 85% of the S type cars produced in each year were sold by the company, how many S
type cars remain unsold?
A.
7650
B.
9350
C.
11,850
D.
12,250
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2000 = 15% of 35,000
and number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2001 = 15% of 44,000.
Total number of S type cars which remained unsold
= 15% of (35,000 + 44,000)
= 15% of 79,000
= 11,850.
5.
For which model the percentage rise/fall in production from 2000 to 2001 was minimum?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The percentage change (rise/fall) in production from 2000 to 2001 for various models is:
(176000 - 105000)
For P =
105000
x 100
% = 67.62%, rise.
(88000 - 52500)
For Q =
52500
x 100
% = 67.62%, rise.
x 100
% = 5.71%, fall.
x 100
% = 25.71%, rise.
x 100
% = 16.19%, fall.
x 100
% = 37.14%, fall.
(70000 - 66000)
For R =
70000
(44000 - 35000)
For S =
35000
(52500 - 44000)
For T =
52500
(35000 - 22000)
For U =
35000
Minimum percentage rise/fall is production is the case of model R.
