The ratio of the number of years, in which the foreign exchange reserves are above the average reserves, to those in which the reserves are below the average reserves is? A. 2:6 B. 3:4 C. 3:5 D. 4:4 Answer: Option C Explanation: Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period = 3480 million US $. The country had reserves above 3480 million US $ during the years 1992-93, 1996-97 and 1997-98, i.e., for 3 years and below 3480 million US $ during the years 1991-92, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-56 and 1998-99 i.e., for 5 years. Hence, required ratio = 3 : 5. 2.The foreign exchange reserves in 1997-98 was how many times that in 1994-95? A. 0.7 B. 1.2 C. 1.4 D. 1.5 Answer: Option D Explanation: 5040 Required ratio = = 1.5. 3360 3. What was the percentage increase in the foreign exchange reserves in 1997-98 over 1993-94? A. 100 B. 150 C. 200 D. 620 Answer: Option A Explanation: Foreign exchange reserves in 1997 - 1998 = 5040 million US $. Foreign exchange reserves in 1993 - 1994 = 2520 million US $. Increase = (5040 - 2520) = 2520 US $. 2520 Percentage Increase = x 100 % = 100%. 2520 7. Study the following table and answer the questions.Classification of 100 Students Based on the Marks Obtained by them in Physics and Chemistry in an Examination. Marks out of 50 Subject 40 and 30 and 20 and 10 and 0 and above above above above above Physics 9 32 80 92 100 Chemistry 4 21 66 81 100 Average 7 27 73 87 100 (Aggregate) 1.What is the different between the number of students passed with 30 as cut-off marks in Chemistry and those passed with 30 as cut-off marks in aggregate? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6 Answer: Option D Explanation: Required difference = (No. of students scoring 30 and above marks in Chemistry) - (Number of students scoring 30 and above marks in aggregate)  = 27 - 21 = 6. 2.If at least 60% marks in Physics are required for pursuing higher studies in Physics, how many students will be eligible to pursue higher studies in Physics? A. 27 B. 32 C. 34 D. 41 Answer: Option B. Explanation: 60 We have 60% of 50 = x 50 = 30. 100 Required number = No. of students scoring 30 and above marks in Physics = 32 3. If it is known that at least 23 students were eligible for a Symposium on Chemistry, then the minimum qualifying marks in Chemistry for eligibility to Symposium would lie in the range? A. 40-45 B. 30-40 C. 20-30 D. Below 20 Answer: Option C Explanation: Since 66 students get 20 and above marks in Chemistry and out of these 21 students get 30 and above marks, therefore to select top 35 students in Chemistry, the qualifying marks should lie in the range 20-30. 8. A school has four sections A, B, C, D of Class IX students. The results of half yearly and annual examinations are shown in the table given below. No. of Students Result Section A Section B Section C Section D Students failed in both Exams 28 23 17 27 Students failed in half-yearly 14 12 8 13 but passed in Annual Exams Students passed in half-yearly 6 17 9 15 but failed in Annual Exams Students passed in both Exams 64 55 46 76 1. If the number of students passing an examination be considered a criteria for comparison of difficulty level of two examinations, which of the following statements is true in this context? A. Half yearly examinations were more difficult. B. Annual examinations were more difficult. C. Both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level. D. The two examinations cannot be compared for difficulty level. Answer: Option C. Explanation: Number of students who passed half-yearly exams in the school = (Number of students passed in half-yearly but failed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams) = (6 + 17 + 9 + 15) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76) = 288. Also, Number of students who passed annual exams in the school = (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams)  + (Number of students passed in both exams) = (14 + 12 + 8 + 13) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76) = 288. Since, the number of students passed in half-yearly = the number of students passed in annual exams. Therefore, it can be inferred that both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level. Thus Statements (a), (b) and (d) are false and Statement (c) is true. 2.How many students are there in Class IX in the school? A. 336 B. 189 C. 335 D. 430 Answer: Option D. Explanation: Since the classification of the students on the basis of their results and sections form independent groups, so the total number of students in the class: = (28 + 23 + 17 + 27 + 14 + 12 + 8 + 13 + 6 + 17 + 9 + 15 + 64 + 55 + 46 + 76) = 430. 3. Which section has the maximum pass percentage in at least one of the two examinations? A. A Section B. B Section C. C Section D. D Section Answer: Option D. Explanation: Pass percentages in at least one of the two examinations for different sections are: (14 + 6 + 64) 84 For Section A x 100 % = x 100 % = 75%. (28 + 14 + 6 + 64) 112 For Section B (12 + 17 + 55) x 100 % = 84 x 100 % = 78.5%.  (23 + 12 + 17 + 55) 107 (8 + 9 + 46) 63 For Section C x 100 % = x 100 % = 78.75%. (17 + 8 + 9 + 46) 80 (13 + 15 + 76) 104 For Section D x 100 % = x 100 % = 79.39%. (27 + 13 + 15 + 76) 131 Clearly, the pass percentage is maximum for Section D. HARD: 9. The following table gives the percentage distribution of population of five states, P, Q, R, S and T on the basis of poverty line and also on the basis of sex. Proportion of Males and Females Percentage of Population below the Below Poverty Above Poverty State Poverty Line Line Line M:F M:F P 35 5:6 6:7 Q 25 3:5 4:5 R 24 1:2 2:3 S 19 3:2 4:3 T 15 5:3 3:2 1.If the male population above poverty line for State R is 1.9 million, then the total population of State R is? A. 4.5 million B. 4.85 million C. 5.35 million D. 6.25 million Answer: Option D. Explanation: Let the total population of State R be x million. Then, population of State R above poverty line = [(100 - 24)% of x] million  76 = xx million 100 And so, male population of State R above poverty line 2 76 = x xx million 5 100 But, it is given that male population of State R above poverty line = 1.9 million. 2 76 5 x 100 x 1.9 x xx = 1.9 x= = 6.25. 5 100 76 x 2 Total population of State R = 6.25 million. 2.What will be the number of females above the poverty line in the State S if it is known that the population of State S is 7 million? A. 3 million B. 2.43 million C. 1.33 million D. 5.7 million Answer: Option B. Explanation: Total population of State S = 7 million. Population above poverty line = [(100 - 19)% of 7] million = (81% of 7) million = 5.67 million. And so, the number of females above poverty line in State S 3 = x 5.67 million 7 = 2.43 million. 10.
