    According to given table, we have
    In 2011, Taxable products = 4y
    Non-taxable products = y

    In 2012, Total products = 5y ×
    110
    100

    Total products =
    11y
    2

    Taxable products =
    11y
    ×
    2
    25

    Taxable products =
    11y
    5

    Non-taxable products =
    11y
    ×
    3
    =
    33y
    2510

    Correct Option: B

    According to given table, we have
    In 2011, Taxable products = 4y
    Non-taxable products = y

    In 2012, Total products = 5y ×
    110
    100

    Total products =
    11y
    2

    Taxable products =
    11y
    ×
    2
    25

    Taxable products =
    11y
    5

    Non-taxable products =
    11y
    ×
    3
    =
    33y
    2510

    ∴ Required ratio = 4y +
    11y
    : y +
    33y
    510

    Required ratio =
    20y + 11y
    :
    10y + 33y
    510

    Required ratio =
    31y
    :
    43y
    = 62 : 43
    510

    According to given table, we have
    Number of passed students in 2011 = 170
    Number of passed students in 2012 = 156
    Decrease = 170 - 156 = 14

    Required percentage decrease = Decrease × 100
    Number of passed students in 2011

    Correct Option: C

    According to given table, we have
    Number of passed students in 2011 = 170
    Number of passed students in 2012 = 156
    Decrease = 170 - 156 = 14

    Required percentage decrease = Decrease × 100
    Number of passed students in 2011

    Required percentage decrease =
    14 × 100
    = 8.24%
    170

    As per the given above table , we see
    Number of passed students in 2008 = 110
    Number of passed students in 2011 = 170
    Increase = 170 - 110 = 60

    Required percentage increase = Increase × 100
    Number of passed students in 2008

    Correct Option: C

    As per the given above table , we see
    Number of passed students in 2008 = 110
    Number of passed students in 2011 = 170
    Increase = 170 - 110 = 60

    Required percentage increase = Increase × 100
    Number of passed students in 2008

    Required percentage increase =
    60 × 100
    = 54.5%
