### Quiz

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

###### Percentage Composition of Human Body

A. 0.016
B. 1.6
C. 0.16

2. What will be the quantity of water in the body of a person weighing 50 kg?

A. 20 kg
B. 35 kg
C. 41 kg
D. 42.5 kg

3. What is the ratio of the distribution of proteins in the muscles to that of the distribution of proteins in the bones?

A. 1 : 18
B. 1 : 2
C. 2 : 1
D. 18 : 1

4. To show the distribution of proteins and other dry elements in the human body, the arc of the circle should subtend at the centre an angle of:

A. 54°
B. 126°
C. 108°
D. 252°

5. In the human body, what part is made of neither bones nor skin?

A. $$\frac {1}{40}$$
B. $$\frac {3}{80}$$
C. $$\frac {2}{5}$$
D. $$\frac {11}{15}$$

Explanation –

Let the body weight be x kg.

Then, weight of skin protein in the body

= 16% of $$(\frac {1}{10} of x)$$ kg

= $$(\frac {16x}{1000})$$kg

i.e, Required percentage =$$[\frac {(\frac {16x}{1000})}{x} \times 100]$$% = 1.6%

Explanation –

Quantity of water in the body of a person weighing 50 kg = (70% of 50) kg

= 35 kg.

Explanation –

Required ratio = $$\frac {16 of \frac {1}{3}}{16 of \frac {1}{6}} = \frac {6}{3} = \frac {2}{1}$$

Explanation –

Percentage of proteins and other dry elements in the body = (16% + 14%)

= 30%.

Therefore Central angle corresponding to proteins and other dry elements together

= 30% of 360°

= 108°.

Explanation –

Part of the body made of neither bones nor skin = 1 – $$(\frac {1}{6} + \frac {1}{10}) = \frac {11}{15}$$

D. 25%

Explanation –

Required percentage = $$[\frac {(48.17 – 37.76)}{37.76} \times 100]$$ %

= 27.57%

≈ 28%.

Explanation –

The percentage increase from 1995 to 2000 for various products are:

Lipsticks = $$[\frac{(48.17 – 20.15)}{20.15} \times 100]$$% = 139.06%.

Nail enamels = $$[\frac {(37.76 – 5.93)}{5.92} \times 100]$$% = 536.76%.

Talcum powders = $$[\frac {(29.14 – 14.97)}{14.97} \times 100]$$% = 94.66%.

Shampoos = $$[\frac{(12.21 – 7.88)}{7.88}\times 100]$$% = 54.95% ≈ 55%.

Conditioners = $$[ \frac{(10.19 – 5.01)}{5.01} \times 100 ]$$% = 103.39%.

Therefore The minimum rate of increase in sales from 1995 to 2000 is in the case of Shampoos.

Explanation –

Required ratio =$$\frac {37.76}{14.97} ≈ 2.5 = \frac {5}{2}$$

Explanation –

The percentage increase from 1995 to 2000 for various products are:

Lipsticks = $$[\frac {(48.17 – 20.15)}{20.15} \times 100]$$ % = 139.06%.

Nail enamels = $$[\frac {(37.76 – 5.93)}{5.93} \times 100]$$ % = 536.76%.

Talcum powders =$$[\frac{(29.14 – 14.97)}{14.97} \times 100]$$% = 94.66%.

Shampoos =$$[\frac {(12.21 – 7.88)}{7.88} \times 100]$$% = 54.95% ≈ 55%.

Conditioners = $$[\frac {(10.19 – 5.01)}{5.01} \times 100]$$% = 103.39%.

Explanation –

Required percentage = $$[\frac {(7.88 – 5.01)}{7.88} \times 100]$$ %

= 36.42%

≈ 36%.

For Jun 01 = $$[\frac {(365 – 360)}{360} \times 100]$$ % = 1.39%.

For Aug 01 = $$[\frac {(370 – 365)}{365} \times 100]$$ % = 1.37%.

For Oct 01 = $$[\frac {(385 – 370)}{370} \times 100]$$ % = 4.05%.

For Dec 01 = $$[\frac {(400 – 385)}{385} \times 100]$$ % = 3.90%.

For Feb 02 = $$[\frac {(404 – 400)}{400} \times 100]$$ % = 1.25%.

Clearly, highest percentage increase in marks is in Oct 01.

Explanation –

Here it is clear from the graph that the student obtained 360, 365, 370, 385, 400 and 405 marks in periodical exams held in Apr 01, Jun 01, Aug 01, Oct 01, Dec 01 and Feb 02 respectively.

Required percentage =$$(\frac {405}{360} \times 100)$$% = 112.5%.

Explanation –

Required percentage =$$[\frac {(370 + 385)}{(500 + 500)} \times 100]$$% = $$\frac {(755 x 100)}{1000}$$% = 75.5%.

Explanation –

Average marks obtained in all the periodical exams

=$$\frac {1}{6} \times [360 + 365 + 370 + 385 + 400 + 405]$$ = 380.83 ≈ 381.
