Solutions (1 - 5)

1. 4
A’s profit in period 1990-1995 = 3039
D’s profit in period 1990-1995 = 2697
Required answer = 3039 – 2697 = 342

2. 4
Profit by all companies in 1993 = 2307
Profit by all companies in 1994 = 2516
Difference = 2516 – 2307 = 209
% fall = 209/2307 * 100 = 9%

3. 4

4. 2;
Profit of A + B = 372 + 600 = 972
Profit of D + E = 505 + 470 = 975
Ratio = 972/975 = 324 : 325

5. 1

6. 4
(400 - 360)/360 * 100 = 40/360 * 100 = 100/9%

7. 4
(320 - 180)/320 * 100 = 140/320 * 100 = 175/4%

8. 2;
It is 125%.

9. 4
Ratio = 360/160 = 9 : 4

10. 3
Average
(250 + 225 + 275 + 160 + 360 + 400 + 320 + 180)/8 = 2170/8 = 271.25

11. 1
210/900 * 100 = 210/9 = 70/3
 
12. 4
Average = (115 + 100 + 110 + 121 + 84)/5  = 106

13. 3

14. 2;
Ratio = Total Students/Passed Students = 41 : 21
