Q1. Across the given years, which quarter has given the maximum earning to Mohit?
(a) Qtr 1
(b) Qtr 2
(c) Qtr 3
(d) Qtr 4
(e) Cannot be determined

(c) 2000
(d) 3000
(e) 5000

S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Mohit’s earning due to the Central zone during 2001 = 20000 * 0.3 = 6000
Mohit’s earning due to the East zone during 2000 = 10000 * 0.3 = 3000
Required Difference = 6000 – 3000 = 3000

Q4. What is the maximum difference between any two regional earnings in any quarter?
(a) Rs. 15500
(b) Rs. 13000
(c) Rs. 14500
(d) Rs. 17500
(e) None of the above

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Maximum quarterly zonal earnings are for central Region during quarter III, 2002 = Rs. 18000
Minimum quarterly zonal earnings are East Region during quarter II, 2000 = Rs. 500
Hence, Maximum difference = 18000 – 500 = Rs. 17500

Q5. Find the percentage change in Mohit’s earning due to the south zone during 2001 over the previous year.
(a) 14%
(b) 20%
(c) 25%
(d) 33%
(e) None of the above


Earning in South Region in 2001 
= 20000 × 0.2 + 10000 × 0.2 + 20000 × 0.3 = Rs. 12000
Earning in South Region in 2000 
= 10000 × 0.2 + 5000 × 0.2 + 25000 × 0.3 = Rs. 10500
Therefore, percentage change = 1500/10500 * 100 14.28%
