Answers

1. a,
Percentage increase in 2002-03 = (7.5/7.5)*100 = 100%
Percentage increase in 2003-04 = (10/15)*100 = 66(2/3)%
In 2004-05, the % profit has decreased
Percentage increased in 2005-06 = (15/20)*100 = 75%
Percentage increase in 2006-07 = (20/35)*100 = 57.14%

2. c,
125/100 = 5/4

3. d,
100 : 100(30/35) = 7:6

4. d,
Required Ratio = (25/125) : (35/100)
= 4:7

5. d
In the required ratio, the year has changed, so we can’t find the answer.

6. a,
Total sales = 1166
Sales in Bangalore = 200
Percentage of Bangalore in total sales = (200/1466)*100 = 17%

7. d,
Percentage sales will be maximum for the month having the maximum numbers of sales.

8. e,
The question demands us to compare the fractions:
176/14, 190/14, 179/14, 206/16, 208/17, 207/14

9. b,

10. c,
(47/1166)*100 = 4.03 = 4 (approx)
