Explanation: Central angle corresponding to Royalty = (15% of 360)° = [latex]\frac{15}{100}[/latex] * 360 = 54°
3. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Clearly, marked price of the book = 120% of C.P. Also, cost of paper = 25% of C.P Let the cost of paper for a single book be Rs. n. Then, 120 : 25 = 180 : n n = Rs.[latex]\frac{25 * 180}{120}[/latex]= Rs. 37.50
4. Answer: Option A
Explanation: For the publisher to earn a profit of 25%, S.P. = 125% of C.P. Also Transportation Cost = 10% of C.P. Let the S.P. of 5500 books be Rs. x. Then, 10 : 125 = 82500 : x x = Rs. ([latex]\frac{125 x 82500}{10}[/latex])= Rs. 1031250 S.P. of one book = Rs.[latex]\frac{1031250}{5500}[/latex]= Rs. 187.50
5. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Printing Cost of book = 20% of C.P. Royalty on book = 15% of C.P. Difference = (20% of C.P.) - (15% of C.P) = 5% of C.P. Therefore Percentage difference = ([latex]\frac{Difference}{Printing Cost}[/latex]*100)% = ([latex]\frac{5% of C.P.}{Printing Cost}[/latex]*100)% = 25%
6. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period = 3480 million US $. The country had reserves above 3480 million US $ during the years 1992-93, 1996-97 and 1997-98, i.e., for 3 years and below 3480 million US $ during the years 1991-92, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-56 and 1998-99 i.e., for 5 years. Hence, required ratio = 3 : 5.
7. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Required ratio =[latex]\frac{5040}{3360}[/latex]= 1.5
8. Answer: Option A
Explanation: There is an increase in foreign exchange reserves during the years 1992 - 1993, 1994 - 1995, 1996 - 1997, 1997 - 1998 as compared to previous year (as shown by bar-graph). The percentage increase in reserves during these years compared to previous year are: For 1992 - 1993 =[[latex]\frac{(3720 - 2640)}{2640}[/latex]* 100]% = 40.91%. For 1994 - 1995 =[[latex]\frac{(3360 - 2520)}{2520}[/latex]* 100]% = 33.33% For 1996 - 1997 =[[latex]\frac{(4320 - 3120)}{3120}[/latex]* 100]% = 38.46% For 1997 - 1998 =[[latex]\frac{(5040 - 4320)}{4320}[/latex]* 100]% = 16.67% Clearly, the percentage increase over previous year is highest for 1992 - 1993
9. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period = [[latex]\frac{1}{8}[/latex]* (2640 + 3720 + 2520 + 3360 + 3120 + 4320 + 5040 + 3120)]million US $ = 3480 million US $. Foreign exchange reserves in 1996 - 1997 = 4320 million US $. Therefore Required percentage =([latex]\frac{4320}{3480}[/latex]* 100)% = 124.14% ~= 125%
10. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Foreign exchange reserves in 1997 - 1998 = 5040 million US $. Foreign exchange reserves in 1993 - 1994 = 2520 million US $. Therefore Increase = (5040 - 2520) = 2520 US $. Therefore Percentage Increase =([latex]\frac{2520}{2520}[/latex]* 100)% = 100%

43. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Total number of students in college C = 1340 45% of the total students are male ⇒ 55% of the total students are female ∴ Number of female students in the college C = 55% of 1340 ⇒ Number of female students in the college C = 737 Total number of students in college A = 1850 54% of the total students are male ∴ Number of male students in the college A = 54% of 1850 ⇒ Number of male students in the college A = 999 Now, required percentage = [latex]\frac{737}{999}[/latex] × 100 Hence, the number of female students in college C is approx. 74% of number of male students of college A
44. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Total number of students in college E = 1250 72% of the total students are male ⇒ 28% of the total students are female ∴ Number of female students in college E = 28% of 1250 ⇒ Number of female students in college E = 350 Out of 350 students, 30% are in Arts department ⇒ Number of female students in Arts department = 30% of 350 ⇒ Number of female students in Arts department = 105 105 female students is 35% of total students in Arts department Let the total number of students in Arts department be x ⇒ Number of female students in Arts department = 35% of x ⇒ [latex]\frac{7x}{20}[/latex] = 105 ⇒ x = 300 ∴Number of male students in arts department = 300 – 105 = 195 Number of male students in college E = 72% of 1250 ⇒Number of male students in college E = 900 Now, required percentage = [latex]\frac{195}{900}[/latex] × 100= 22%
45. Answer: Option E
Explanation: Total number of students in college B = 1550 66% of the total students are male ∴ Number of male students in college B = 66% of 1550 ⇒ Number of male students in college B = 1023 ∴ [latex]\frac{2}{3}^{rd}[/latex] of male students of college B = 682 Total number of students in college F = 1450 38% of the total students are male ⇒ 62% of the total students are female ∴ Number of female students in college F = 62% of 1450 ⇒ Number of male students in college F = 899 Now, required ratio =[latex]\frac{682}{899}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{22}{29}[/latex] Hence, the ratio of [latex]\frac{2}{3}^{rd}[/latex] of college B male students and female students of college F is 22: 29
46. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Demand for brand C product = 2800 units Demand for brand C product increase by 75% ⇒ New demand of brand C product = 175% of 2800 units ⇒ New demand of brand C product = 4900 units Production of brand C product = 3300 units To meet the demand the brand C should raise the production of product to 4900 units ∴ 1600 more units should be produced. ⇒ required percentage = [latex]\frac{1600}{3300}[/latex] Hence, to meet the demand the brand C should raise the production by 48.48%.
47. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Demand for brand A product = 2200 units Production of brand A product = 1400 units Difference between demand and production of brand A product = 800 units The company has to raise its production t0 2200 to meet its demand for that it has to produce 800 units more. With every 160 unit produced the brand increases its price by 10%. ⇒ Number of times the brand increase its price by 10% = [latex]\frac{800}{160}[/latex] = 5 Earlier price of one product was INR 5000 ⇒ New price of the product = 5000 × [latex]\frac{110}{100}[/latex] ×[latex]\frac{110}{100}[/latex] × [latex]\frac{110}{100}[/latex] × [latex]\frac{110}{100}[/latex] ×[latex]\frac{110}{100}[/latex] Hence, the new price of the product is INR 8052.55
48. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Demand of brand D product = 5000 units Production of brand D product = 4500 units The new demand is 20% less than its production New demand for brand D product = 80% of 4500 units ⇒New demand of brand D product = 3600 units ∴Difference in earlier demand and new demand = 5000 – 3600 = 1400 ⇒Demand fell by 1400 units Now, required percentage =[latex]\frac{1400}{5000}[/latex] × 100 = 28% Hence, the demand for brand D product fell by 28%.
49. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Let the price of the product be INR x The brand B decreased its price by 12% which led to increasing in demand by 25% ⇒ New price of the product = 88% of x Demand for the brand B product = 3200 units ⇒ New demand of the brand B product = 125% of 3200 ⇒ New demand of the brand B product = 4000 units The ratio between the new price and new demand is 11 : 20 ⇒ [latex]\frac{88x}{100 }[/latex] = [latex]\frac{11}{20}[/latex] × 4000 ⇒ x = 2500 Hence, original price of the brand B product is INR 2500
50. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Production of brand E product = 3500 units Production of brand F product = 4400 units Total production of brand E and F = 7900 units Demand of brand E product = INR 2800 units Demand of brand F product = INR 3600 units Total demand of brand E and F = 6400 units Now, required percentage = [latex]\frac{7900}{6400}[/latex] × 100 ≈123%

22. Answer: Option D
Explanation: The statement expresses grave concern over the lack of proper premises and inadequate staff in labour and industrial courts. This implies that adequate staff is a must to serve the purpose of these courts and a proper office only can ensure their smooth functioning. So, both I and III are implicit. The lack of facilities to the courts also indicates the state's negligent attitude to the condition of the courts. So, II is also implicit.
23. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Clearly, a company would highlight only that feature in its advertisement which people crave for and which it can make possible. So, both I and III are implicit. Nothing can be deduced about the growth of computer industry. So, II is not implicit.
24. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Clearly, since Pramod decides to get the reservation in May for the journey in July, so I is implicit. The number of trains to Madras or the position of vacancies in different classes cannot be deduced from the given statement. So, neither II nor III is implicit.
25. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Since the consultant talks of borrowing money from financial institutions, so I is implicit. That the owners wish to make the company 'commercially viable' makes II implicit.
