Direction: Study the following table and answer the questions.

  1. The difference in the average number of candidates qualified in Science discipline per year from 2006 to 2008 and the average number of candidates qualified in the same discipline from 2009 to 2011 was
    1. 47
    2. 57
    3. 74
    4. 141
Correct Option: A

As per the given above table , we see

Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2006 ⇒
780 × 40
= 312
100

Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2007 ⇒
650 × 42
= 273
100

Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2008 ⇒
500 × 45
= 225
100

Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2009 ⇒
45 × 620
= 279
100

Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2010 ⇒
35 × 900
= 315
100

Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2011 ⇒
42 × 850
= 357
100

Required average difference = Average number of candidates qualified in Science year from 2009 to 20011 - Average number of candidates qualified in Science year from 2006 to 2008
Required average difference =
1
[(279 + 315 + 357) – (312 + 273 + 225)] =
1
(951 – 810)
33

=
1
× 141 = 47
