    According to given graph in question ,
    Average price of Petrol in 2004 = 73.70
    Average price of Petrol in 2014 = 36.49

    Required percent = 73.70 - 36.49 × 100
    36.49

    Correct Option: C

    According to given graph in question ,
    Average price of Petrol in 2004 = 73.70
    Average price of Petrol in 2014 = 36.49

    Required percent = 73.70 - 36.49 × 100
    36.49

    Required percent =
    3721
    		 ≈ 102%
    36.49

Direction: The following graph shows production (in thousands) of two types (P and Q) of vehicles by a factory over the years 2009 to 2014. Study the graph and answer the given questions.

  1. The production of Type Q vehicles in 2010 was approximately what percent of Type P vehicles in 2014?

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    The production of Type Q vehicles in 2010 = 150
    The production of Type P vehicles in 2014 = 275

    Required percent =
    The production of Type Q vehicles in 2010
    		 × 100
    The production of Type P vehicles in 2014

    Correct Option: C

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    The production of Type Q vehicles in 2010 = 150
    The production of Type P vehicles in 2014 = 275

    Required percent =
    The production of Type Q vehicles in 2010
    		 × 100
    The production of Type P vehicles in 2014

    Required percent =
    150
    		 × 100 = 54.5%
    275

  1. The ratio of total production of Type P vehicles to total production of type Q vehicles over the years is








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    From the given line graph in question ,
    Total production of type P vehicles = 1200 thousands
    Total production of type Q vehicles = 175 + 150 + 125 + 175 + 175 + 225 = 1025
    ∴ Required ratio = Total production of type P vehicles : Total production of type Q vehicles

    Correct Option: A

    From the given line graph in question ,
    Total production of type P vehicles = 1200 thousands
    Total production of type Q vehicles = 175 + 150 + 125 + 175 + 175 + 225 = 1025
    ∴ Required ratio = Total production of type P vehicles : Total production of type Q vehicles
    ∴ Required ratio = 1200 : 1025 = 48 : 41

  1. The total production of Type P vehicles in the years 2009 and 2011 is what percent of total production of Type Q vehicles in 2010 and 2014?

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total production of type P vechicles in 2009 and 2011 = 100 + 200 = 300 thousands
    Total production of type Q vehicles in 2010 and 2014 = 150 + 225 = 375 thousands

    ∴ Required percent =
    Total production of type P vechicles in 2009 and 2011
    		 × 100
    Total production of type Q vehicles in 2010 and 2014

    Correct Option: C

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total production of type P vechicles in 2009 and 2011 = 100 + 200 = 300 thousands
    Total production of type Q vehicles in 2010 and 2014 = 150 + 225 = 375 thousands

    ∴ Required percent =
    Total production of type P vechicles in 2009 and 2011
    		 × 100
    Total production of type Q vehicles in 2010 and 2014

    ∴ Required percent =
    300
    		 × 100 = 80%
    375

  1. Approximate percentage decrease in the production of Type Q vehicles from 2010 to 2011 is








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    From the given line graph in question , we have
    The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010 = 150 thousands
    The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2011 = 125 thousands
    Decrease in the production = The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010 - The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2011 = 150 - 125 = 25

    Required percentage decrease = Decrease in the production × 100
    The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010


    Correct Option: B

    From the given line graph in question , we have
    The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010 = 150 thousands
    The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2011 = 125 thousands
    Decrease in the production = The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010 - The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2011 = 150 - 125 = 25

    Required percentage decrease = Decrease in the production × 100
    The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010

    Required percentage decrease =
    25
    		 × 100 =
    50
    		 = 16.7%
