(b) if x>y
(c) if x≤y
(d) if x≥y
(e) if x=y or no relation can be established



Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol.
No. of qualified candidates in 2015
= 64 × 9 = 576
 ∴no.of  males=576-176=400
 ∴Required Ratio=400∶176=25∶11

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol.
No. of appeared candidates in 2016
=140/100×700 = 980
Required no. of candidates =  25/100×980= 245

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Let appeared candidates in 2012 = 500
∴ Let qualified candidates in 2012 = 400
∴ No. of female qualified in 2012 =3/8×400=150
 ∴Required %=150/500×100=30%

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Let no. of males qualified in 2014 = 9x
∴ No. of females qualified in 2014 = 5x
∴9x-5x=72
x = 18
 ∴No.of candidates qualifed in 2014=14x=14×18=252
∴Required no.of candidates=252/42×100 = 600

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. let candidate who qualified in 2011 = x
Candidate who qualified in 2013 = 480 ×0.6=288
X = 498-288=210
Required percent = 210/7 = 30%






S10. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Overall cost price of all washing machines together 
=9375+18750+12325+10385+4050+14360=69245
Overall selling price of all washing machines together 
=7968.75+21375+10106.5+14019.75+5022+12924=71416
Profit percentage =(71416-69245)/69245×100≈3.1% profit
