Answer & Explanations

I.1. Option D

       Explanation:

       Total exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z together, during various years are:

       In 1993 = Rs. (30 + 80 + 60) crores = Rs. 170 crores.

       In 1994 = Rs. (60 + 40 + 90) crores = Rs. 190 crores

       In 1995 = Rs. (40 + 60 + 120) crores = Rs. 220 crores

       In 1996 = Rs. (70 + 60 + 90) crores = Rs. 220 crores.

       In 1997 = Rs. (100 + 80 + 60) crores = Rs. 240 crores.

       In 1998 = Rs. (50 + 100 + 80) crores = Rs. 230 crores.

       In 1999 = Rs. (120 + 140 + 100) crores = Rs. 360 crores.

       Clearly, the total exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z together are same during
       the years 1995 and 1996.

  2. Option: D

      Explanation:

      From the graph it is clear that

      1.The amount of exports of Company X (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995,
         1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 30, 60, 40, 70, 100, 50 and 120 respectively.

      2.The amount of exports of Company Y (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995,
        1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 80, 40, 60, 60, 80, 100 and 140 respectively.

     3.The amount of exports of Company Z (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995,
       1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 60, 90,, 120, 90, 60, 80 and 100 respectively.

     Average annual exports (in Rs.crore) of Company Y during the given period

     = 1/7  * (80 + 40 + 60 + 60 + 80 + 100 + 140) = 560/7  = 80

     Average annual exports (in Rs. crore) of Company Z during the given period

     1/7 * (60+90+120+60+80+100) = 600/7

     :. Required percentage 80/(600/7)*100 % = 93.33%.

 3. Option C

     Explanation:

     The difference between the exports from the Companies X and Y during the various
     years are:

     In 1993 = Rs. (80 - 30) crores = Rs. 50 crores.

     In 1994 = Rs. (60 - 40) crores = Rs. 20 crores.

     In 1995 = Rs. (60 - 40) crores = Rs. 20 crores.

     In 1996 = Rs. (70 - 60) crores = Rs. 10 crores.

     In 1997 = Rs. (100 - 80) crores = Rs. 20 crores.

     In 1998 = Rs. (100 - 50) crores = Rs. 50 crores.

     In 1999 = Rs. (140 - 120) crores = Rs. 20 crores.

     Clearly, the difference is minimum in the year 1996.

4. Answer: Option C

    Explanation:

    Average exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z in 1993 = (30+80+60)/3 = 170/3
    crores.

    Average exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z in 1998 =(50+100+80)/3 = 230/3.

    Difference = (230-170)/3 = 60/3 = 20 crores

5. Option C

    Explanation: 1/7 *(60 + 90 + 120 + 90 + 60 + 80 + 100) = 600/7 =85.71 crores

    From the analysis of graph the exports of Company Z are more than the average
    annual exports of Company Z (i.e., Rs. 85.71 crores) during the years 1994, 1995,
    1996 and 1999, i.e., during 4 of the given years.
