Answers with Explanation:

1.    (b) :
 Average income = (30 + 50 + 40 + 60 + 60)/ 5= 48 lakhs
Total average Profit = [(30 -20) + (50 – 30) + (40 – 30) + ( 60 – 40) + (60 – 35)]/ 5
è 17 lakhs
Ratio = 48 : 17

2.    (a) :
The profit in year 1982 = 30 – 20 = 10 lakhs
The profit in year 1986 = 60 – 35 = 25 lakhs
Increase in profit = 25 – 10 = 15 lakhs
Percentage increase in profit = (15 x 100) / 10 = 150%

3.    (a) :
 Total income = 30 + 50 + 40 + 60 + 60 = 240 lakhs
Total expenditure = 20 + 30 + 30 + 40 + 35 = 155 lakhs
Total income total expenditure = 240 – 155 = 85 lakhs

4.    (c) :
 The profit in year 1983 = 50 – 30 = 20 lakhs
Profit in the year 1984 = 40 – 30 = 10 lakhs
Difference = 20 – 10 = 10 lakhs

5.    (c) :
The average income of the given years
è (30 + 50 + 40 + 60 + 60)/ 5 = 240 /5 = 48 lakhs
There are 3 years ( 1983, 1985, 1986) in which the income is more than the average of the given years.

6.    (c) :
∴ Amount of saving , 600 = Rs 8000
∴Amount on food , 1200 = 8000*120/60 =16000
∴ Amount on housing, 1050 = 8000*105/60=14000
   Difference between food and housing = 16000-14000 =2000

7.    (c) :
∴ Amount of saving, 600 = Rs 8000
 Amount on education300= 8000*30/60 = 4000

8.    (b) :
The ratio on expenditure on food to the saving = 1200 : 600  = 2:1

9.    (b) :
Amount on education300= 8000*30/60 = 4000
Amount on housing, 1050 = 8000*105/60=14000
Total amount of education & housing = 4000 + 14000 = 18000

10.  (a) :
4000 : 14000,= 2:7

11. (4)
Required no. of passengers
=1/3[(24+20+15) % of 8500]
= (1*8500*59)/100*3 = 1671

12. (1)
Number of passenger in train - R  = (8500*9)/100 = 765
Number of males = (100-34-26) % of 765
= (765*40)/100 = 306

13. (5)
 Reqd% = (19) / ( 13 + 9 ) x 100 =86  ( approx)

14. (3) :
It is clear from the pie chart.

15. (4)
Reqd.% = [(20-15)/15]*100 = 33(approxi)

16. (5)
Number of L types products sold by Store F=48
by Store E=40
Required percentage= (48) / (40) x 100 = 120

17. (5)
Reqd. ratio = (61+54) : (54+48)
=115:102

18.  (2)
Average price = Rs (16+15+14.5+16+18+15)/6*1000 = 15750

19.  (1)
Reqd. difference = (60*75-44*15)*1000 = (4500-660)*1000 = Rs = 38.4 lakhs

20. (4)
