Question : Study the graph and answer the question:
The number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are INR 2,500 or more but below INR 4,000 is what percentage more than the number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are INR 4,500 or more but below INR 6,000?
Option 1: 37.6
Option 2: 27.3
Option 3: 29.8
Option 4: 36.4
Correct Answer: 37.6
Solution : Number of families whose monthly expenditure on education is INR 2500 or more but below INR 4000 = 47 + 55 + 70 = 172 Number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are INR 4500 or more but below INR 6000 = 52 + 43 + 30 =125 Required percentage gain = $\frac{172 - 125}{125}\times 100\% = 37.6\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 37.6.
Question : The given pie chart shows the percentage distribution of 450 employees in an organization. Study the pie chart and answer the question that follows.
What is the number of employees working in department B?
Option 1: 72
Option 2: 36
Option 3: 90
Option 4: 63
Correct Answer: 63
Solution : According to the question Total employees = 450 ⇒ number of employees in department B = $\frac{14}{100}$ × 450 = 0.14 × 450 = 63 Hence, the correct answer is 63.
Question : The remainder when 72 × 73 × 78 × 76 is divided by 35 is:
Option 1: 12
Option 2: 15
Option 3: 22
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 8
Solution : (72 × 73 × 78 × 76) divided by 35 We divide every number individually by 35, then the total remainder is also divided by 35 to get the required remainder. $\frac{(72 × 73 × 78 × 76)}{35}$ ⇒ $\frac{(2 × 3 × 8 × 6)}{35}$ ⇒ $\frac{288}{35}$ ⇒ $\frac{8}{35}$ Since 8 cannot be divided further by 35 $\therefore$ The required remainder is 8. Hence, the correct answer is 8.
Question : Direction: Study the pie chart and answer the question. Details of % of employees working in various departments and number of males among them. Total number of employees = 800 The % of the number of male employees working in the marketing department to the total number of employees in the marketing department:
Option 1: 84%
Option 2: 86%
Option 3: 88%
Option 4: 91%
Correct Answer: 86%
Solution : Number of employees in the marketing department = $\frac{24}{100} \times 800$ = 192 Number of male employees = 165. ∴ Required percentage = $\frac{165}{192} \times 100$ = 85.93% ≈ 86% Hence, the correct answer is 86%.
Question : A person's salary has increased from INR 7,000 to INR 12,000. What is the percentage increase in his salary?
Option 1: $61 \frac{1}{7} \%$
Option 2: $69 \frac{1}{7} \%$
Option 3: $76 \frac{4}{7} \%$
Option 4: $71 \frac{3}{7} \%$
Correct Answer: $71 \frac{3}{7} \%$
Solution : According to the question, Percentage Increase $= \frac{\text{New Value−Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} × 100$ $= \frac{12000 − 7000}{7000} × 100$ $= \frac{5000}{7000}× 100$ $ = 71\frac{3}{7}\%$ Hence, the correct answer is $71\frac{3}{7}\%$.
Question : In 1898, whose theory propounded that the ions/groups bonded to the metal by secondary bonding have spatial arrangements corresponding to different characteristic coordination numbers?
Option 1: Henry Taube
Option 2: Alfred Werner
Option 3: Erich Huckel
Option 4: Emil Fischer
Correct Answer: Alfred Werner
Solution : The correct answer is Alfred Werner.
Alfred Werner's theory propounded that the ions/groups bonded to the metal by secondary bonding have spatial arrangements corresponding to different characteristic coordination numbers. This theory states that the transition metal cation will have two valencies: a primary and a secondary. Alfred Werner won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1913.
Question : Study the graph and answer the question.
What is the ratio of the number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are below Rs. 3,000 to the number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are Rs. 4,000 or above but less than Rs. 5,500?
Option 1: 21 : 31
Option 2: 21 : 32
Option 3: 16 : 23
Option 4: 23 : 35
Correct Answer: 21 : 32
Solution : The number of families whose monthly expenditure on education is below Rs. 3000 is = 23 + 35 + 47 = 105 The number of families whose monthly expenditure on education is Rs. 4,000 or above but less than Rs. 5,500 is = 65 + 52 + 43 = 160 Required ratio = 105 : 160 = 21 : 32 Hence, the correct answer is 21 : 32.
Question : Directions: Select the figure that will replace the question mark (?) in the following figure series.
Option 4:
Solution : In the given series, the figure is rotating 90° anticlockwise. Also, the right-angled triangle is moving clockwise at the corners. Thus, the missing part of the figure is –
Therefore, the complete figure is as follows –
Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: Four number-pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the number-pair that is different from the rest.
Option 1: 34 : 3
Option 2: 17 : 6
Option 3: 24 : 4
Option 4: 2 : 51
Correct Answer: 24 : 4
Solution : Let's check each option –
First option: 34 : 3; 34 is not divisible by 3. Second option: 17 : 6; 17 is not divisible by 6. Third option: 24 : 4; 24 is divisible by 4. Fourth option: 2 : 51; 51 is not divisible by 2.
So, the third option is different from the other three options as here first term is divisible by the second term. Hence, the third option is correct.
