(b) 30%
(c) 40%
(d) 50%
(e) None of these
Q15. If the sales of footwear had touched Rs. 80 crore in 2012, the average annual percentage growth of footwear for the two year period 2010-2012 would have been (approximately):
(a) 50%
(b) 75%
(c) 80%
(d) 90%
(e) None of these
Solutions
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Visually seen as 4.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. 145 : 115 = 29 : 23 is closest to 5 : 4.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Metals in 2009 is more than doubling over it’s 2008 value.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. 55 in 2010 to 30 in 2008. Gives 11:6 as the answer.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. 50% in 2009.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. 33.33% between 2007 to 2008.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. Visually clear that the graphs are equal at the ages of 2 and 8 months.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. The required answer = 1700 – 1400 = 300 calories.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. Add all the values to get 12300.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. The required changes will be 2000/12300 = 16.26%
S11. Ans.(d)
Sol. Reverse the calculation for Question 9 and get 12500 as the total calorie requirement per day.
S12. Ans.(d)
Sol. The two lines run roughly parallel to each other till the age of 13, so (d) is correct. After the age of 13, the curves separate out.
S13. Ans.(c)
Sol. 10/25 = 40%
S14. Ans.(a)
Sol. Exports would have increased by 20% of the footwear’s value, i.e., by 7 on 35 – 20%.
S15. Ans.(c)
Sol. Solve through options. When you try with 80%, you get 25 + 80% of 25 = 45 + 80% of 45 = 81.
Hence the answer is just below 80%.
