Required Ratio = $$\frac{(10 + 16 + 5) × 60} {(8 + 12 + 5) × 32}$$

= $$\frac{31 × 60} {25 × 32}$$

= 93 ∶ 40

Q4. The number of vacancies in SBI, PNB and BOI in the year 2015 is approximately what percent of the number of vacancies in BOB, UCO and BOM in the year 2010?

A. 122.5%
B. 130.25%
C. 137.2%
D. 150%
E. 167.25%

Solution:

Required %

= $$\frac{12 + 4 + 14/100 x 6000} {20 + 16 + 5 x 100}$$ × 32000

= 30 × 60

= 41 × 32 × 100 = 137.2%

Q5. The number of vacancies in UCO and BOB together in the year 2010 is what percent more than the number of vacancies in same banks together in 2015?

A. 12%
B. 17%
C. 24%
D. 28%
E. 35%

Solution:

Vacancies in UCO and BOB together in 2010 = $$\frac{16 + 20} {100}$$ x 32000

Vacancies in UCO and BOB together in 2015 = $$\frac{15} {100}$$ x 60000

∴ Required % = $$\frac{11520 – 9000} {9000}$$ x 100

= 28%

Directions (1-5): Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below it.

Percentage of profit earned by two companies Xiomi and Honor over the given years

% Profit = $$\frac{Income − Expenditure} {Expenditure}$$ x 100

Q1. Total expenditure of Company Xiomi in all the years together was 82.5 lakhs. What was the total income of the Company in all the years together?

A. 38 lac
B. 40 lac
C. 45 lac
D. Cannot determined
E. None of these

Solution:

Income of Honor = I1 in 2013

∴ 35 = $$\frac{I1 − 12} {12}$$ x 100

I1 = Rs. 16.2 L

In 2014, Let Income = I2

∴ 50 = $$\frac{I2 − 14.5} {14.5}$$ x 100

I2 = 21.75 L

∴ total income = 21.75 L + 16.2 L = 37.95 L

Q2. Ratio of expenditure of companies Xiomi and Honor in 2016 was 3 : 4 respectively. What was the respective ratio of their incomes in 2016?

A. 2 : 3
B. 23 : 37
C. 43 : 56
D. 29 : 46
E. 39 : 56

Solution:

Let the respective expenditures of both Xiomi and Honor be Rs. 3x and Rs. 4x lakhs.

∴ Ixiomiin 2016 ⇒ 30 = $$\frac{I1 − 3x} {3x}$$ × 100

or, I1 = 3.9x

Again, IHonor in 2016 ⇒ 40 =

$$\frac{I2 − 4x} {4x}$$ × 100

⇒ I2 = 5.6x

Desired ratio ⇒ Ixiomi ∶ IHonor = 3.9x ∶ 5.6x

= 39 : 56

Q3. Total expenditure of Company Xiomi in all the years together was 82.5 lakhs. What was the total income of the Company in all the years together?

A. 38 lac
B. 40 lac
C. 45 lac
D. Cannot determined
E. None of these

Solution:

It can’t be determined as data given are inadequate.

Q4. If the expenditures of Companies Xiomi and Honor in 2017 were equal and the total income of the two companies was Rs. 5.7 lakh, What was the total expenditure of the two companies in 2017?

A. 4 lac
B. 5 lac
C. 6 lac
D. 8 lac
E. 10 lac

Solution:

Let expenditure of both Xiomi and Honor in 2017 be Rs. x lakhs & their respective incomes be
Rs. I1 & I2 lakhs.

∴ Profit% for Xiomi = 40 & Profit% for Honor = 45

∴ 40 = $$\frac{I1 − x} {x}$$ × 100 … (i)

& 45 = $$\frac{I2 − x} {x}$$ × 100 … (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

x = Rs. 2L

∴ Total expenditure = 2 × 2 = Rs. 4 lakh

Q5. If the income of Company Honor in 2014 and 2015 were in the ratio of 2 : 3 respectively. What was the respective ratio of expenditure of that Company in these two years?

A. 2 : 3
B. 4 : 5
C. 29 : 45
D. 39 : 55
E. None of these

Solution:

Let the income be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x lakhs respectively in 2014 and 2015 for Honor.

∴ In 2014,

50 = $$\frac{2x − E1} {E1}$$ × 100

⇒ 1.5 E1 = 2x

⇒ E1 = $$\frac{2x} {1.5}$$ Lakh

In 2015,

45 = $$\frac{3x − E2} {E2}$$ × 100

⇒ E2 = $$\frac{3x} {1.45}$$

∴ $$\frac{2x} {1.5}$$ : $$\frac{3x} {1.45}$$ = 29 ∶ 45.

Directions (1-5): The following table shows the number of persons who got injured in earthquake from five different states of India during five different years. Study the table carefully to answer the following questions.

Q1. If total no. of person in Maharashtra who injured due to earthquake in 2004 was 150% more than the total no. of person from same state who injured in earthquake in 2008, then the total no. of person who injured in earthquake in 2005 in Maharashtra is what percent of total no. of persons who injured in 2008 in same state (It is given that total persons who injured in earthquake in Maharashtra throughout all the years is 88,000)?

A. 190%
B. 210%
C. 200%
D. 150%
E. 250%

Solution:

Let no. of person who injured in Maharashtra in 2004 was x

∴ No. of persons who injured in same state in 2008 = $$\frac{100} {250}$$ × x

= $$\frac{2x} {5}$$

x + $$\frac{2x} {5}$$ = 88,000 – (20,000 + 18,000 + 15,000) = 35,000

⇒ x = 25,000

$$\frac{2x} {5}$$ = $$\frac{2} {5}$$ x 25000 = 10,000

∴ Required percentage = $$\frac{20000} {10000}$$ x 100 = 200%

Q2. Total no. of person who injured in earthquake in Bihar and Maharashtra together in the year 2005 is what percent more or less than that from Gujarat and Bihar together in 2006?

A. 25% more
B. 25% less
C. 20% less
D. 20% more
E. 30% less

Solution:

Total persons injured in earthquake from Bihar and Maharashtra together in 2005

= 25000 + 20000 = 45,000

Total person injured in earthquake from Gujarat and Bihar together in 2006

= 40,000 + 20,000 = 60,000

Required percentage = $$\frac{60000-45000} {45000}$$ x 100

25% less

Q3. If difference between the no. of person who injured in earthquake in Gujarat and Assam together in 2005 is 32,000 and total no. of persons who injured in earthquake in Assam was 25% more than that in Kerala in 2005 then find the total no. of persons who were injured in 2005 due to earthquake in all the states together?

A. 1,05,000
B. 1,50,000
C. 1,10,000
D. 95,000
E. 1,15,000

Solution:

No. of persons in Assam who injured in earthquake in 2005 = 8000 x $$\frac{125} {100}$$ = 10,000

∴ persons injured in Gujarat in 2005 = 32,000 + 10,000 = 42,000

∴ Required answer = 42,000 + 25,000 + 20,000 + 8,000 + 10,000 = 1,05,000

Q4. If 32%, 24% and 18% persons out of total injured persons in state Gujarat, Bihar and Maharashtra respectively died in the year 2006, then find the total no. of person from these three states together who are still alive.

A. 54,160
B. 55,160
C. 58,160
D. 57,160
E. 49,260

Solution:

Total number of professors = $$\frac{1} {9}$$ x $$\frac{9} {25}$$ x 375 = 15

Q5. If ratio between total no. of persons who were injured in earthquake in states Bihar and Maharashtra in the year 2008 is 5 : 4 and total person who injured in 2008 from all states is 63,000 then total person who injured in 2008 in Bihar and Maharashtra together is what percent of total person who injured in 2008 from all states together?

A. $$\frac{400} {7}$$%
B. $$\frac{300} {7}$$%
C. $$\frac{200} {7}$$%
D. $$\frac{100} {7}$$%
E. $$\frac{500} {7}$$%

Solution:

Let total person injured in earthquake in Bihar and Maharashtra is 5x and 4x respectively.

∴ 9x = 63,000 – (30,000 + 2,000 + 4,000) ⇒ 9x = 27,000

Required percentage = $$\frac{27,000} {60,000}$$ x 100 = $$\frac{300} {7}$$%

= 42$$\frac{6} {7}$$%
