Directions (Questions 81-85) : Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below it.

81.What was the approximate percentage increase in production from 2004 to 2005 ?
a)40
b)50
c)60
d)70
e)80

Ans. Production in 2004 = 70 thousand tonnes
Production in 2005 = 110 thousand tonnes
So increase in percentage
= (110-70)/70 * 100 = 40/70 * 100 = 57.14% ≈ 60%

 

82.In which of the following year the production was below the average production ?
a)2005
b)2002
c)2000
d)2003
e)None of these

Ans. (d)2003
Average production = (140 + 85 + 130 + 95 + 70 + 110) / 6 = 630 / 5 = 105 thousand tonnes

 

83.If the production in 2006 will be above the average production of the given years, which of the following could be the minimum production for 2006?
a)126000
b)145000
c)105000
d)114000
e)132000

Ans. (c)105000
Average production was calculated in previous question as 105000 tonnes

 

84.What was the approximate percentage drop in production from 2000 to 2001 ?
a)15
b)30
c)60
d)40
e)50

Ans.(d)40
Production in 2000 = 140 thousand tonnes.
Production in 2001 = 85 thousand tonnes.
∴ percentage drop in production = (140 - 85)/140 *100
                                                     = 39.28% ≈ 40%

 

85.In which year was the production 50% of the total production in 2000 ?
a)2001
b)2002
c)2003
d)2004
e)2005

Ans.(d)2004
50% of 140 = 70

b)2006
c)2007
d)2008
e)Both 2007 & 2008

Ans.(e)Both 2007 & 2008
Average income = (45 + 60 + 50 + 80 + 95) / 5 = 66 Lakhs

90.What was the percentage increase in profit from 2006 to 2007?
a)50%
b)150%
c)80%
d)360%
e)500%

Ans.(e)500%
Profit in 2006 = 50 - 45 = 5 Lakhs
Profit in 2007 = 80 - 50 = 30 Lakhs
Percentage increase in profit = (30 - 5)/5 * 100 = 500%
