  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    As per given question,
    Total income of company B in year 1992 = 140 crore
    Given in the graph that the % Profit of company B in year 1992 = 45 %
    Let us assume that the total Expenditure of company B in year 1992 = E
    Use the below formula to calculate

    % Profit =
    Income - Expenditure
    		x 100
    Expenditure

    Correct Option: E

    As per given question,
    Total income of company B in year 1992 = 140 crore
    Given in the graph that the % Profit of company B in year 1992 = 45 %
    Let us assume that the total Expenditure of company B in year 1992 = E
    Use the below formula to calculate

    % Profit =
    Income - Expenditure
    		x 100
    Expenditure

    or, 45 =
    140 - E
    		x 100
    E

    ⇒ 45E = 140 x 100 - 100E
    ⇒ 45E = 14000 - 100E
    ⇒ 45E + 100E = 14000
    ⇒ 145E = 14000
    ⇒ E = 14000/145 = 2800/29 = 96.6 million $

  1. If the total expenditure of Company B in 1994 was $ 200 , what was the total income?

    Let us assume that the Expenditure E , income I and profit P%.

    Total income ( I ) = E 100 + % Profit
    100

    Correct Option: B

    Let us assume that the Expenditure E , income I and profit P %.
    As per given graph,
    Profit = 40 %
    As per given question,
    Expenditure = $ 200 Million

    Total income ( I ) = E 100 + % Profit
    100

    Total income ( I ) = 200100 + 40million $ = 280 million $
    100

Direction: Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below it.

    By mental observation as 50 =40 + 60,
    2

    1992 only is the desired year. You do not need any calculation. See the year where the point A lies exactly in the middle of points of B and C.

    Correct Option: A

    By mental observation as 50 =40 + 60
    2

    1992 only is the desired year. You do not need any calculation.
    See the year where the point A lies exactly in the middle of points of B and C.
    Hence , Required answer will be 1992 only.

  1. In which of the following years was the difference between the imports made by Company B and C the maximum?

    By visual inspection it is clear that 1992 is the desired year

    Correct Option: D

    By visual inspection it is clear that 1992 is the desired year (as the distance between two points is the maximum in 1992).
    Hence , Required answer will be 1992.

  1. In which of the following years was the total imports made by all the three companies together the maximum?

    The total imports (in Billion) made by all the three companies together: From the heights of the points we observe that the total heights of three points is the maximum either in 1995 or 1997. If you observe carefully, our clear answer is 1995, but to be sure we find actual values for the two years.

    Correct Option: C

    The total imports (in Billion) made by all the three companies together: From the heights of the points we observe that the total heights of three points is the maximum either in 1995 or 1997. If you observe carefully, our clear answer is 1995, but to be sure we find actual values for the two years.
    In 1995 = 70 + 80 + 85 = 235.
    In 1997 = 75 + 70 + 85 = 230.
    Clearly, 1995 is the desired year.
