Solutions

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. The percentage rise/fall in production from the previous year for flavor Y during various years are:


S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Average annual productions over the given period for various flavours are:
For flavour X = [1/6×(50+40+55+45+60+50)] lakh bottles = 50 lakh bottles.
For flavour Y = [1/6×(55+60+50+55+50+55)] lakh bottles
= 54.17 lakh bottles.
For flavour Z = [1/6×(45+50+60+60+45+40)] lakh bottles = 50 lakh bottles.
∴ Maximum average production is for flavor Y.




S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. 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
Now, we shall solve the questions.
Total number of cars of models P, Q and T manufactured in 2000
= (105000 + 52500 + 52500) = 2,10,000.

S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Using the above calculation, the percentage change (rise/fall) in production from 2000 to 2001 for various model is:
∴ Minimum percentage rise/fall in production is in the case of model R.

S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Required difference = 88000 – 52500 = 35500

S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. 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 440000 = 132000.

S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. Number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2000 = 15% of 35000
and number of S type car which remained unsold in 2001 = 15% of 44000
∴ Total number of S type cars which remained unsold
= 15% of (35000 + 44000) = 15% of 79000 = 11850.
