ANSWERS
1. (5) Reqd. = 48/56 × 100 = 86 (App.)
2. (4)
3. (1) Reqd. number
= 12 +12 + 120 + 56 = 200
4. (2) Regd. ratio = 12 : 40 = 3 : 10
5. (3) Reqd. number
= 48 + 12 + 40 + 45
= 145

SOLUTIONS (6-10)-

6. (5) In bank A, the number of officers and clerks in 2008
= (6.9 + 3.9) thousand = 10800

= (6.9 + 5.7) thousand = 12600

In bank C, the number of officers and clerks in 2008
= (5.8 + 6.4) thousand = 12200

In bank D, the number of officers and clerks in 2008
= (11.7 + 9.8) thousand = 21500

and in bank E, the number of officers and clerks in 2008
= (14.8 + 11.3) thousand = 26100

The second highest number is in 'D'.
7. (1) (4.6+7.8)/7.2=124/72=31∶18
8. (2) avg. = (3.8+4.0+4.6+5.7+6.4+5.5)/6=5000
9. (3)
10 (4) reqd. % = ((1.6+2.2+3.8+5.6+6.9))/(6.9+8.9)×100=2010/15.8=127 approx
