(i). Approximately what percent of students appearing in medical, passed in 2003?
(a) 75%
(b) 85%
(c) 78%
(d) 88%

Read Solution
total\ no.\ of\ student\ appearing\ in\ medical\\ \\ in\ 2003=384 \\\ \\ total\ no.\ of\ student\ passing\ in\ medical\\ \\ in\ 2003=326\\\ \\ required\ percent\ 2003=\frac{326}{384} \times 100\\\ \\ =84.89\\\ \\ =Approx.\ 85\%\ \\\ \\

Option (b) is the right answer

(ii) Approximately what percent of total students appearing in 2004, appeared in commerce stream?
(a) 55.3 %
(b) 64.4 %
(c) 52.5 %
(d) 59.3 %

Read Solution
total\ number\ of\ students\ appearing\ in\ 2004\\ \\ =310+395+106+1180\\ \\ =1991 \\\ \\ \therefore required\ percent=\frac{total\ no.\ of\ student\ appeared\ in\ commerce}{\ total\ no.of\ \ students\ appearing\ in\ 2004} \\\ \\ =\frac{1180}{1991} \times 100\\\ \\ =59.26\ \approx \ 59.3% \\\ \\

Option (d) is the right answer

no.\ of\ students\ appearing\ in\ all\ streams\\\ \\ Year\ 2002\\ \\ =356+450+74+1246\\ \\ =2106\\\ \\ Year\ 2003\\ \\ =284+384+124+1387 \\ \\ =2179 \\\ \\ Year\ 2004 \\ \\ =310+395+106+1180 \\ \\ =1991\\\ \\ Year\ 2006=380+466+78+1374\\ \\ =2298 \\\ \\ now \\ \\ min. \ no.\ of\ students\ in\ 2004\ is=1991\\\ \\

Option (c) is the right answer

Read Solution
total\ no.\ of\ students\ passing\ in\ all\ streams\ in\\ \\ Year\ 2001=289+246+69+1310\\ \\ =1914\\\ \\ Year\ 2005=382+382+74+1326\\ \\ =2164\\\ \\ Year\ 2006=286+405+63+1207\\ \\ =1961 \\\ \\ Year\ 2004=246+289+92+1074\\ \\ =1710\\\ \\ now\\\ \\ max.\ students\ passing\ in\ year\ 2005\ =2164\\\ \\

Option (b) is the right answer

(02) Study the following table and answer the questions given below.
Annual income of five schools
(Figures in 1000 rupees)

Data Interpretation questions with solution

(i) For school E, what percent of the income of miscellaneous is the income of donation?
(a) 20%
(b) 40%
(c) \frac{1}{4}%
(d) 400%

Read Solution


income of miscellaneous for school E=60

income of donation for school E=15

Percent of the income of miscellaneous is the income of donation is
=\frac{income\ of\ miscellaneous\ for\ school\ E}{income\ of\ donation\ for\ school\ E} \times 100

\frac{60}{15} \times 100\\

⟹ 400 %

Option (d) is the right answer

(ii) Which school has the highest percentage of income from tuition fee out of its total income?
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D

Read Solution

Income of tuition fee for school A=200

Total income for school A=275

Percentage of income from tuition fee out of its total income
=\frac{income\ of\ tuition\ fee\ for\ school\ A}{total\ income\ for\ school\ A} \\\ \\ =\frac{200}{275} \times 100\\\ \\ =72.72 %

Same for
School\ B=\frac{150}{225} \times 100 \\ \\ =66.66% \\\ \\ school\ C=\frac{68}{126} \times 100 \\ \\ =53.96 % \\\ \\ school\ D=\frac{90}{135} \times 100\\ \\ =66.66 %

we see that the highest percentage of tuition fee we get from school A

Option (a) is the right answer

(iii) In case of how many schools, is the income by way of tuition fee ,is less than four times of term fee?
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) 3

Read Solution

For school A=tuition fee for school A * 4

=200 * 4
=800

=800 > 275, it is greater


Similarly,
For school B=150 * 4
=600
=600 >225, it is greater

for school C=68 * 4
=272
=272 >126, it is greater

for school D= 90*4
=360
=360 >135, it is greater

for school E=65 * 4
=260
=260< 285, it is lesser

we see only in one case school E is the income by way of tuition fee, is less than four times of term fee
Option (b) is the right answer

(iv) Which school has the lowest ratio of income by way of grants and tuition fee?
(a) E
(b) B
(c) D
(d) A

Read Solution

Ratio for school A= \frac{grant\ for\ school\ A}{tuition\ fee\ for\ school\ A}\\ \\ =\frac{19}{200}\\ \\ =0.095\\\ \\

same ratio for B= \frac{32}{150}\\ \\ =0.21 \\\ \\

ratio for D= \frac{12}{90}\\\ \\ =0.13 \\\ \\

ratio for E= \frac{75}{65}\\\ \\ =1.15\\\ \\

we see school A has the lowest ratio of income by way of grants and tuition fee

Option (D) is the right answer
