Which country has brought maximum earning for company in the year 2014?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

In 2014, 
Annual earnings from India (in crores) = 0.4 × 10 + 0.3 × 5 + 0.3 × 10 = 8.5 
Annual earnings from Pakistan (in crores) = 0.2 × 10 + 0.25 × 5 + 0.3 × 25 = 10.75 
Annual earnings from Nepal (in crores) = 0.35 × 10 + 0.4 × 25 + 0.25 × 10 = 16 
Annual earnings from China (in crores) = 0.15 × 10 + 0.4 × 5 + 0.1 × 25 + 0.2 × 10 = 8 
Annual earnings from Bangladesh (in crores) = 0.1 × 5 + 0.25 × 25 + 0.3 × 10 = 9.75 
Hence, Nepal has the highest annual earnings in 2014

Find the percentage change in company’s earnings from Pakistan during 2015 over the previous year.
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Earning from Pakistan in 2015 = 20 × 0.2 + 10 × 0.25 + 20 × 0.3 = INR 12.5 crores 
Earning from Pakistan in 2014 = 10 × 0.2 + 5 × 0.25 + 25 × 0.3 = INR 10.75 crores 
Therefore, percentage change = 1.75/10.75 × 100 = 16.27% ≈16 %

Q5. Directions: The following graph shows the concentration of CO (Carbon Monoxide) gas released from different vehicles in ppt (parts per trillion). Also, the percentage distribution of vehicles under survey is depicted in the pie-chart. Study both the graph & pi-chart and answer the questions based on them.
For the year 2014, what percentage of CO is released from cars only?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Let the common factor be x. 
Then, No. of cars = 60x 
No. of bikes = 25x 
No. of trucks = 15x 
During 2014, 
Total amount of CO released by Cars, 
C1 = (Conc. of CO released per car) x (No. of cars) 
= (4 ppt) x (60x) = (240x) ppt 
Total amount of CO released by Bikes, 
C2 = (Conc. of CO released per bike) x (No. of bikes) 
= (3 ppt) x (25x) = (75x) ppt 
Total amount of CO released by Trucks, 
C3 = (Conc. of CO released per truck) x (No. of trucks) 
= (5 ppt) x (15x) = (75x) ppt 
Percentage of CO released by Cars = [C1 / (C1 + C2 + C3)] x 100 
= [240x / (240x + 75x + 75x)] x 100 
= (240x / 390x) x 100 ≈ 61.5%

Q6. Directions: The following graph shows the concentration of CO (Carbon Monoxide) gas released from different vehicles in ppt (parts per trillion). Also, the percentage distribution of vehicles under survey is depicted in the pie-chart. Study both the graph & pi-chart and answer the questions based on them.

The ratio of rise in the concentration of CO released from trucks to that of bikes from 2015 to 2016 is -
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Let the common factor be x. 
Then, No. of bikes = 25x 
No. of trucks = 15x 
Total amount of CO released by a particular vehicle, 
C = (Conc. of CO released per vehicle) x (No. of vehicles) 
Then, 
Total amount of CO released by Bikes in 2015, 
= (5 ppt) x (25x) = (125x) ppt 
Total amount of CO released by Bikes in 2016, 
= (6 ppt) x (25x) = (150x) ppt 
Rise in Conc. of CO release in Bikes = 150x – 125x = 25x …(1) 
Total amount of CO released by Trucks in 2015, 
= (7 ppt) x (15x) = (105x) ppt 
Total amount of CO released by Trucks in 2016, 
= (8 ppt) x (15x) = (120x) ppt 
Rise in Conc. of CO release in Trucks = 120x – 105x = 15x …(2) 
Then, using eq.(1) and eq.(2), 
Ratio of rise in CO conc. = 15x / 25x = 3/5

Q7. Directions: The following graph shows the concentration of CO (Carbon Monoxide) gas released from different vehicles in ppt (parts per trillion). Also, the percentage distribution of vehicles under survey is depicted in the pie-chart. Study both the graph & pi-chart and answer the questions based on them.

What percentage of people if switch from their cars to bikes during 2016, will bring down the average CO produced from all cars & bikes only, by 6/17 ppt?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Let no. of vehicles be 100. 
Then, No. of bikes = 25 and, No. of cars = 60 
Total bikes and cars = 85 
In 2016, average CO release by bikes and cars, 
= [(60cars x 12ppt/car) + (25bikes x 6ppt/bike)] / 85 
= 870/85 ppt …(1) 
Let x vehicles are switched. 
Then, No. of bikes = 25+x and, No. of cars = 60-x 
Then, new average CO release by bikes and cars, 
= { [(60-x)cars x 12ppt/car] + [(25+x)bikes x 6ppt/bike] } / 85 
= (870-6x)/85 ppt …(2) 
ATQ, from eq.(1) and eq.(2), 
[870/85] – [(870-6x)/85] = 6/17 = 30/85 
6x = 30, or, x = 5 cars switched 
Percentage change/switch = (5 cars / 100 vehicles) x 100 = 5%

Q8. Directions: The following graph shows the concentration of CO (Carbon Monoxide) gas released from different vehicles in ppt (parts per trillion). Also, the percentage distribution of vehicles under survey is depicted in the pie-chart. Study both the graph & pi-chart and answer the questions based on them.

For the given data, what is the average CO produced by bikes during these three years, if there are 57,000 vehicles under survey?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Average CO released by each Bike during the three years, 
= (3 + 5 + 6) / 3 = 14/3 ppt per bike …(1) 
No. of bikes under survey = (Bike %) x (No. of vehicles) 
= (25%) x (57000 vehicles) 
= 14250 bikes …(2) 
Then, using eq.(1) and eq.(2), 
Average CO released by all Bikes = (14/3 ppt per bikes) x (14250 bikes) 
= 66500 ppt 

Q9. Direction: Study the following graph carefully and then answer the questions based on it. The percentage of five different types of electricity generation produced by a country during two years is given below.

What was the difference in the production of electricity from coal between 2014 and 2015?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Production of electricity from coal in 2014 = (70 – 40) % of 4250 TWh 
⇒ Production of electricity from coal in 2014 = 30% of 4250 TWh 
⇒ Production of electricity from coal in 2014 = 1275 TWh 
Production of electricity from coal in 2015= (65 – 40) % of 7940 TWh 
⇒ Production of electricity from coal in 2015 = 25% of 7940 TWh 
⇒ Production of electricity from coal in 2015 = 1985 TWh 
∴Required difference = 1985 – 1275 = 710 TWh 
Hence, 710 TWh is the difference in the production of electricity from coal between 2014 and 2015

Q10. Direction: Study the following graph carefully and then answer the questions based on it. The percentage of five different types of electricity generation produced by a country during two years is given below.

If 75% of tidal electricity produced during 2014 and 2015 are being sold by the country, then how much tidal electricity is left with the country to use?
Answer : Option E
Explaination / Solution:

Production of tidal electricity in 2014 = (100 – 80) % of 4250 TWh 
⇒ Production of tidal electricity in 2014 = 20% of 4250 TWh 
⇒ Production of tidal electricity in 2014 = 850 TWh 
Production of tidal electricity in 2015 = 10% of 7940 TWh 
⇒ Production of tidal electricity in 2015 = 794 TWh 
∴ Total production = 850 + 794 = 1644 
∴Required number of tidal energy = 25% of 1644 = 411 TWh 
Hence, 411 TWh tidal energy is left with the country to use.
