Data Interpretation


Directions (Q.1-5): Study the bar graph carefully and answer the following questions.
The number of male and female officers in various banks 


1. What is the total number of employees in the given five banks?
(a) 60000
(b) 56000
(c) 58000
(d) 62000
(e) 59000

1. (a) Total employees of the given five banks 
= (8 + 9 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 7) × 1000 = 60000

2. What is the ratio of male to female probationary officers in all five banks?
(a) 5 : 4
(b) 3 : 2
(c) 2 : 3
(d) 7 : 8
(e) 4 : 5

2. (d) Ratio of male to female probationary officers in all five banks 
= (8000 + 3000 + 5000 + 7000 + 5000) : (9000 + 4000 + 6000 + 6000 + 7000)
= 28000 : 32000 = 7 : 8 

3. In HDFC 40% males and 30% females are unmarried, then what is the ratio of the married males to the married females in HDFC?
(a) 7 : 5
(b) 5 : 7
(c) 12 : 13
(d) 2 : 3
(e) 3 : 5

3. (b) Unmarried males in HDFC 
=5000×40/100=2000
∴ Married males = (5000 – 2000) = 3000 
Unmarried females in HDFC = 6000×30/100=1800
∴ Married females = (6000 – 1800) = 4200 
∴ Required ratio = 3000 : 4200 = 5 : 7 

4. If the number of married male officers in ICICI is euqal to that in PNB, which is 40% of the male officers in PNB, then what is the percentage of married male  officers in ICICI with respect to the total number of  officers in ICICI?
(a) 25.51%
(b) 28%
(c) 27.91%
(d) 22%
(e) 23.33%

4. (e) Number of male married officers in ICICI
= Number of male married officers in PNB 
= Male officers in PNB ×40/100=7000×40/100=2800 
∴ The percentage of married male officers in ICICI w.r.t to the total officers in ICICI
=(2800 × 100)/(7000 + 5000)=23.33%

5.The male officers in PNB is what per cent more than the female probationary officers in BOI?
(a) 74.8%
(b) 74%
(c) 75%
(d) 75.4%
(e) 78%

5. (c) ∴ Required% =(7000 - 4000)/4000×100%
= 75% more than female probationary officers in BOI

Directions for Questions (6-10): The questions are based on the table and pie-chart given below. The table has some missing information but it is known that every shopkeeper sold books of every subject. Complete the missing information and answer the questions using the information given in table and pie-chart.




6. In April 2016, the second highest number of books sold was of which subject?
a) Banking Awareness
b) General awareness
c) Quantitative Aptitude
d) Reasoning
e) Computer

Answer (6 – 10): 
Complete table: 

6.  d
Therefore, second highest number of books sold was of Reasoning.

7.  Which shopkeeper sold maximum number of General awareness books as a percentage of the total number of books sold by that shopkeeper?
a) C
b) B
c) A
d) F
e) None of these

7.  e
We need to check for which shopkeeper (s) the number of General Awareness books sold were the highest, for that shopkeeper the percentage of General Awareness books sold as a percentage of total number of books sold by that shopkeeper would be higher than for the shopkeeper who has not sold maximum number of General Awareness books out of all the books sold, there is only one shopkeeper i.e. D

8. What is the average number of books sold of General awareness, Computer and Reasoning together?
a) 29500
b) 30000
c) 30333
d) 28333
e) None of these

8.  e
Required average = (27 + 29 + 31)/3 = 29 => 29,000

9.  If a total of 4000 books were returned in April 2016, then what was the number of Reasoning books returned as a percentage of Reasoning books sold in April 2016?
a) 2.32%
b) 2.74%
c) 1.86%
d) 1.44%
e) 2.92%

9.  a
Number of Reasoning books returned = 18% of 4000 = 720
required percentage = 720/31000 * 100 = 2.32%

10. If the number of General Awareness books returned in April 2016 is 780, then what is the approximate number of English and Banking Awareness books sold as a ratio of the number of English and Banking awareness books returned in April 2016?
a) 33:2
b) 41:2
c) 47:3
d) 53:4
e) 65:3

10. b
Number of General Awareness books returned = 780
total number of books returned = 780/13% = 6000
Number of English and Banking Awareness books returned = 37% of 6000 = 2220
Required ratio = 46000:2220 = 2300:111≈ 41:2
