ANSWERS:

1. (3)
Required percentage = 20400/240000 * 100 = 8.5

2. (1)
Estimated mislaneous cost = 8% of 240000 = 19200
Total expenditure of family = 240000 – 19200 + 20400 – 12% of 13% of 240000 = 237456

3. (5)
Required difference = (19-11)% of 240000 = 19200

4. (2)
Requires cost = (15+14)% of 240000 = 69600

5. (4)
Amount spent on furniture = (100-12)% of 13% of 240000 = 27456

6. (1)
Required percentage =  {(6300-1891)/1891 * 100} = 233%

7. (5)
Statement I is false as growth rate of system software is lower than that of financial software.
Statement II is false as nothing is mentioned about growth rate from 88 to 89.
Statement III is false as the ratio of financial software to utilities in 1986 is 2.3.

8. (1)
Let the required value be x. Then
2800/6300 = x/9000
X = 4000

9. (2)
Statement I : [{(2800 - 897)/897} * 100]/4 = 53%
Hence statement I is false.

Statement II : [(6225 - 1787)/1787 * 100] /4 = 62%
Hence Statement II is false.

Statement III: As seen from the table financial software is the only category where the figure in 2012 is more
than 4 times that in 2008
Hence statement III is true.

10. (1)
2660 – (1030 + 1135 + 410) = 85 cr.
