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

  1. What was the difference in the production of C type cars between 1996 and 1997?

    Production of C type cars in 1996 = (70 − 40)% of 450000
    Production of C type cars in 1996 = 30% of 450000 = 135000

    Correct Option: A

    Production of C type cars in 1996 = (70 − 40)% of 450000
    Production of C type cars in 1996 = 30% of 450000 = 135000
    Production of C type cars in 1997 = (65 − 40)% of 520000
    Production of C type cars in 1997 = 25% of 520000 = 130000
    ∴ Required difference = 5000.


  1. If 85% of E type cars produced during 1996 and 1997 are being sold by the company, then how many E type cars are left unsold by the company?

    Production of E type cars in 1996 = (100 − 80)% of 450000
    Production of E type cars in 1996 = 20% of 450000 = 90000
    And in 1997 = 10% of 520000 = 52000

    Correct Option: E

    Production of E type cars in 1996 = (100 − 80)% of 450000
    Production of E type cars in 1996 = 20% of 450000 = 90000
    And in 1997 = 10% of 520000 = 52000
    ∴ Total production = 90000 + 52000 = 142000.
    ∴ Required number of cars = 15% of 142000 = 21300



  1. If the number of A type cars manufactured in 1997 was the same as that of 1996, what would have been its approximate percentage share in the total production of 1997?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Production of A type cars in 1997 = production of A type cars in 1996 (given) = (100 − 85) 5% of 450000 = 67500

    Correct Option: B

    Production of A type cars in 1997 = production of A type cars in 1996 (given) = (100 − 85) 5% of 450000 = 67500

    ∴ Required Percentage =67500X10013
    520000


  1. In the case of which of the following types of cars was the percentage increase from 1996 to 1997 the maximum?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    NA

    Correct Option: C

    Clearly, by visual inspection D is the desired option.



  1. If the percentage production of B type cars in 1997 was the same as that of 1996, what would have been the number of cars produced in 1997?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Percentage production of B type cars in 1997 = that in 1996 (given)
    = (40 − 15) 25% of 520000

    Correct Option: C

    Percentage production of B type cars in 1997 = that in 1996 (given)
    = (40 − 15) 25% of 520000 = 130000.
