Answers and explanations

1. 2; Governments contribution = 35% of the total income

10 6 100
2857143

Savings = Rs 60000 Total expenditure = Total income - savings = 2857143 - 60000 = 2797143.
Expenditure on wages = 55% of total expenditure 1538429.
2. 3; From condition (i), 100% income from students is utilized.
income from students = expenditure on awards and facilities.
40% of income = 36% of expenditure.

5. 4; Let the total income be Rs x and total expenditure be Rs y.
According to the question,

40% of x 36% of y = 2 105

But we cant find the value of y.
Hence, data inadequate.

6. 1; Points scored by player A = 4 1 + 3 2 + 1 3 = 4 + 6 + 3 = 13

Alternatively:
Player A has overall accuracy of around 40% with quite a low accuracy of 3 pointers.
With total 20 attempts, assuming average score of 2 per attempt, approximate score would be
0.4 2 20 = 16.

8/20 = 0.4

8/10 = 0.8

12/15 = 0.8

14/18 < 0.8

19/24 < 0.8

Players B and C have the maximum accuracy of 80% .

8. 2; Total points = 25 1 + 23 2 + 13 3 = 25 + 46 + 39 = 110
Points scored by player D = 8 1 + 3 2 + 3 3 = 23

23
Percentage of points scored by player D = 110 100 21 %
Alternatively:
Approximately 20% of total attempts were made by player D with the same accuracy (approximately) as the other players except A, whose accuracy is quite low. Hence, player D must have
scored approximately 20% of total points.
9. 3; Number of points scored through 2-pointers = 2 23 = 46

Percentage of points through 2-pointers = 110 100 42 % .
10. 3; Total points scored from 3-pointers = 13 3 = 39
Total points scored from 2-pointers = 23 2 = 46

If price of Bajaj car is 8x, then prices of Toyota, Maruti, Honda and M&M cars are 12x, 5x, 10x
and 11x respectively.
From graph (i),

Price of Maruti

Percentage shares of Honda and Toyota are 12.5% each while those of Bajaj, M&M and Maruti
are 25% each.
Sales of M&M cars (in value) in 2004 = 11x
Total sales (in value) = (8x + 11x + 5x)

240 : 160 : 100 : 200 : 220 12 : 8 : 5 : 10 : 11

Volumes of production of Toyota, Bajaj, Maruti, Honda and M&M in March 2004 are in the ratio
1:2:2:1:2
Let x be present in the ratio of the price of each of the cars.

12x 1 8 x 2 5 x 2 10 x 1 11x 2 70 x

8.75 x
1 2 2 1 2
8
Therefore the prices of Toyota, Honda and M&M are greater than the average price of all cars in
March 2004.
15. 2; From solution (11) : Ratio of market prices is Bajaj : M&M = 8x : 11x
11x 8x = 3x = 1,08,000
x = 36,000
Now market price of Maruti = 5x = 180,000
Market price of Honda = 10x = 3,60,000
required answer = 50% .
Quicker Approach:
Ratio of price of Honda to Maruti = 2 : 1

Average price in March 2004 =

Note: There is no need of the cost of Bajaj car in March 2004.

Female population above poverty line in state D =

According to the question,

40% of x 40% of y = 3.6

40% of x y 3.6
x y = 9 million
Note: If percentages are different then we cant solve the problem.
19. 2; Percentage male population below poverty line in state C =

part of 44% = 24%

5
part of 24% = 10%

Combining both states, we have 15% male population below poverty line.
