...view full instructions
Profit made in 2015 = (135 + 65 + 120 + 150) = 470 lakhs
Profit made in 2016 = (115 + 75 + 115 + 145) = 450 lakhs
Profit made in 2017 = (120 + 80 + 125 + 175) = 500 lakhs
Maximum profit was made in 2017.
Profit made in Q1 = (135 + 115 + 120) = 370 lakhs
Profit made in Q2 = (65 + 75 + 80) = 220 lakhs
Profit made in Q3 = (120 + 115 + 125) = 360 lakhs
Profit made in Q4 = (150 + 145 + 175) = 470 lakhs
∴ The maximum profit is in Q4.
How many times the profit in Q2 should be increased so that it is equal to the average profit made in each quarter in 2017?
Average profit made in 2017 = (120 + 80 + 125 + 175)/4 = (500)/4 = 125 lakhs
Profit made in Q2 in 2017 = 80 lakhs
Profit difference = 125 – 80 = 45 lakhs
Required value = 45/80 = 0.56
Profit made in 2015 = 470 lakhs
Ratio of profit in Q2 to total profit = 65/470 = 0.14
Profit made in 2016 = 450 lakhs
Ratio of profit in Q2 to total profit = 75/450 = 0.17
Profit made in 2017 = 500 lakhs
Ratio of profit in Q2 to total profit = 80/500 = 0.16
The ratio is maximum in 2016
Average profit made in Q1 = (135 + 115 + 120)/3 = 370/3 = 123.33 lakhs
Average profit made in Q4 = (150 + 145 + 175)/3 = 470/3 = 156.66 lakhs
Required difference = 156.66 – 123.33 = 33.33 lakhs

∴ Average number of employees promoted by Bank P over all the years together,
⇒ (37 + 44 + 38 + 35 + 48 + 46)/6 = 41.3
What is the total number of employees who got promoted in all the banks together in the year 2007?
∴ Total number of employees, who got promoted in all the banks together in the year 2007,
⇒ (46 + 40 + 50 + 42 + 38 + 35) = 251
What is the percentage increase in the number of employees promoted by Bank L in 2010 from the previous year?
Number of employees promoted by L in 2009 = 32
Number of employees promoted by L in 2010 = 50
Increase in number of employees promoted = 50 – 32 = 18
∴ Percentage increase = (18/32) × 100 = 56.25%
Number of employees promoted by Bank P in the year 2008 forms approximately what per cent of the total number of employees promoted by all the banks together in that year?
Number of employees promoted by P in 2008 = 35
Total number of employees promoted by all banks together in 2008 = 38 + 42 + 35 + 51 + 35 + 39 = 240
∴ Required percentage = (35/240) × 100% = 14.58%
What is the respective ratio of total number of employees promoted by Bank M in the years 2007 and 2008 together to the total number of employees promoted by Bank L from the same years?
Number of employees promoted by M in 2007 = 40
Number of employees promoted by M in 2008 = 42
⇒ Total number of employees promoted by Bank M in the years 2007 and 2008 together = 40 + 42 = 82
Number of employees promoted by L in 2007 = 46
Number of employees promoted by L in 2008 = 38
⇒ Total number of employees promoted by Bank M in the years 2007 and 2008 together = 46 + 38 = 84
∴ Required ratio = 82/84 = 41 ∶ 42

⇒ Total demand of Mobile, cars, laptop = 50 + 75 + 35 = 160
⇒ Total demand of TV and AC = 60 + 45 = 105
Total

⇒ Extra production = 75 – 50 = 25
⇒ Price changes = (25/5) times = 5 times
⇒ Required increase = Demand – production = 100 – 80 = 20
