Answers and Explanations
Common Solution for the questions:
From the given information, we can make the following table:
Answer 1: (b)
To find the maximum difference let us take the minimum values from September and the maximum values from October.
From September = 960+360 = 1320.
From October = 3750 +3000 = 6750.
The difference = 6750-1320 = 5430.
The correct option is (b)
Answer 2: (b)
There is only one absolute decrease i.e. for E.
The correct option is (b)
Answer 3: (d)
Sale of F type tyres in October = 1950.
In September
Sale of A and C = 360 + 2640 = 3000
Sale of C and E= 2640 + 2040 = 4680
Sale of B and D= 1560 + 3000 = 4560
Sale of A and B=360 + 1560 = 1920
The correct option is (d)
Answer 4: (b)
For E, there is a decrease in sales and for D, the sales for the two years are equal.
The total sale of all tyres except D and E in September = 12000 – 3000 – 2040 = 6960
The total sale of all tyres except D and E in October = 15000 – 3000 – 1500 = 10500
The required difference = 10500 – 6960 = 3540.
The correct option is (b)
Answer 5: (d)
Number of tyres of type D and E sold in September = 3000 + 2040 = 5040
Number of tyres of type D and E sold in October = 3000 + 1500 = 4500
Hence the required percentage = {(5040/4500)} x 100 = 112%
The only correct answer possible is (d)
