Directions (1-5): Study the following information and answer the questions that follow:

There are two companies namely A and B, which sell chairs, tables, and wardrobes in 3 months August, September, and October. The ratio of a chair, tables, and wardrobes sold by A in August are 42: 36: 23 while a ratio of chairs sold by A in August, September, and October is 14: 23: 27. Wardrobes sold by A in August is 230 less than chairs sold in September by A. In September 665 chairs, 400 tables and 210 wardrobes were sold by two companies together. B sold the same number of chairs in Aug and September. The number of tablets sold by company B in September was equal to a number of chairs sold by A in August while the number of wardrobes sold by A in August and B in September was equal. Company B sold a total of 1025 chairs in these three months together which was 480 more than the total number of tables sold by A. Ratio of tables sold by A and B in August is 12: 11 and in October is 35: 38 respectively. The total number of items sold in August was 1075. The total number of wardrobes sold by A in October was 35 less than the wardrobe sold by B in October, while the sum of the wardrobe
sold by A and B in October is 205.

1. What is the ratio of the number of tables sold by A in August to that of B in September?

A. 7:6
B. 6:7
C. 12:13
D. 11:12
E. None of these

Explanation:
Let number of chairs, tables and wardrobes sold by A in August be 42x, 36x and 23x. Also, let chairs sold by A in August, September and October be 14y,

23y and 27y respectively.

∴42x = 14y ⇒y = 3x

and, 23x = 23y – 230

⇒x = 5 and y = 15

Now,

Chairs sold by B in September = 665 – 345 = 320

Chairs sold by B in August = 320

Tables sold by B in September = Chairs sold by A in Aug = 210

∴Table sold by A in September = 400 – 210 = 190

Wardrobes sold by B in September = wardrobes sold by A in Aug = 115

∴Wardrobes sold by A in September = 210 – 115 = 95

Chairs sold by B in October = 1025 – 320 – 320 = 385

Tables sold by A in October = (1025 – 480) – (180 + 190) = 175

Tables sold by B in August = ($$\frac{11}{12}$$) × 180 = 165

Tables sold by B in October = ($$\frac{38}{35}$$) × 175 = 190

Wardrobes sold by B in August = 1075 – (210 + 320 + 180 + 165 + 115) = 85

Let wardrobes sold by A in October be a and that by B be b in October

∴a = b – 35 and a + b = 205

⇒a = 85 and b = 120

Month chair Table wardrobe
A B A B A B
Aug 210 320 180 165 115 85
Sep 345 320 190 210 95 115
Oct 405 385 175 190 85 120

Required Ratio = $$\frac{180}{120}$$ = $$\frac{6}{7}$$

Directions (1-5): The Table given below shows the percentage of valid voters in 5 villages in two years 2001 and 2005.

Villlages 2001 2005
A 50 80
B 75 65
C 76 64
D 55 70
E 80 55

NOTE– Total voters in any year = Valid voters + Invalid voters

1. What is the difference between invalid voters of village C in the two given years if valid voters in 2005 in that village are 4000 and the ratio of valid voters of village C from 2001 to 2005 is 19: 25?

A. 1190
B. 1250
C. 1290
D. 1350
E. 1365

Explanation:
Invalid voter of village C in 2005 = 4000 × $$\frac{36}{64}$$ = 2250

Valid voter of village C in 2001 = 4000 × $$\frac{19}{25}$$ = 3040

Now, invalid voter of village C in 2001 = 3040 × $$\frac{24}{76}$$ = 960

∴Required diff. = 2250 – 960 = 1290

2. If in village A in 2005, 2500 voters were declared invalid voters 10% of valid voters opted NOTA and the winner got 200 more votes than losing candidate, then find the total vote that losing candidate got in 2005 in village A.

A. 4400
B. 4600
C. 5400
D. 5200
E. 4800

Explanation:
Total valid votes of village A in 2005 = 2500 × $$\frac{100}{20}$$ × $$\frac{80}{100}$$ = 10000

Total valid votes excluding Nota in village A in 2005 = 10000 × $$\frac{90}{100}$$ = 9000

∴According to question,

x + (x + 200) = 9000

⇒ x = 4400

Required no. of votes of losing candidates = 4400

3. In village B if the ratio of total voters in 2001 to 2005 is 26: 23, then find the ratio of invalid voters in 2001 to the invalid voters in 2005 in same village.

A. 131: 160
B. 130: 161
C. 127: 141
D. 18: 35
E. None of these

Explanation:
Let the total voters in 2005 are x.

Total voters in 2001 = ($$\frac{26}{23}$$) x

∴ $$\frac{\frac {75}{100} × \frac{30}{100} × x }{\frac{30}{100} × x }$$ = $$\frac{130}{161}$$

4. If there are 1600 males invalid voters of village E in 2001 and the females’ invalid voters of the same village and same year contributed is 36% of total valid voters, then find the percentage of invalid male voters in a total population if total males in village E in 2001 were 2000.

A. 2%
B. 4%
C. 6%
D. 8%
E. 8%

Explanation:
Total invalid male of village E in 2001

= 2000 – 1600 = 400

Total valid voters in 2001 = 1600 × $$\frac{100}{64}$$ = 2500

Total Voters in 2001 = 2500 × $$\frac{100}{80}$$ = 3125

∴ required % = ($$\frac{400}{3125}$$) × 100 = 12.8 %

5. If the ratio of valid voters of village B in 2001 and invalid voters of village D in 2005 was 16: 3, then total voters of village D in 2005 were what percent more or less than those of village B in 2001?

A. 45 $$\frac{2}{7}$$ %
B. 53 $$\frac{4}{5}$$ %
C. 53 $$\frac{1}{8}$$ %
D. 52 $$\frac{1}{8}$$ %
E. 50 $$\frac{2}{5}$$ %

Explanation:
Let total voters of village B in 2001 = x

& Total voters of village D in 2005 = y $$\frac{\frac{20x}{3}}{80}$$

∴ [ $$\frac{\frac {75}{100} × x}{\frac{30}{100} × y}$$ ] = $$\frac{16}{3}$$

$$\frac{x}{y}$$ = $$\frac{32}{15}$$

Required % = $$\frac{17}{32}$$ × 100 = 53 $$\frac{1}{8}$$ %
