  3. 4:5

  4. 2:3

    5. Answer:

    7:9
    Solution:

    Required ratio =(75 + 65)/(85 + 95)=7/9

Question: 2 -

Total sales of branch B6 for both the years is what percent of the total sales of branches B3 for both the years?

Options:

  1. 71.11%

  2. 73.17%

  3. 75.55%

    5. Answer:

    73.17%
    Solution:

    Required percentage
    = [ (70 + 80) x 100 ] %
    (95 + 110)
     
    = [ 150 x 100 ] %
    205
      = 73.17%.

Question: 3 -

What percent of the average sales of branches B1, B2 and B3 in 2001 is the average sales of branches B1, B3 and B6 in 2000?

Options:

  1. 77.5%

  2. 87.5%

  3. 82.5%

  4. 75%

    5. Answer:

    87.5%
    Solution:

    Average sales (in thousand number) of branches B1, B3 and B6 in 2000

        = 1 x (80 + 95 + 70) = ( 245 ) .
    3 3

    Average sales (in thousand number) of branches B1, B2 and B3 in 2001

        = 1 x (105 + 65 + 110) = ( 280 ) .
    3 3
    Therefore Required percentage = [ 245/3 x 100 ] % = ( 245 x 100 ) % = 87.5%.
    280/3 280

Question: 4 -

Total sales of branches B1, B3 and B5 together for both the years (in thousand numbers) is?

Options:

    5. Answer:

    560
    Solution:

    Total sales of branches B1, B3 and B5 for both the years (in thousand numbers)

        = (80 + 105) + (95 + 110) + (75 + 95)

        = 560.
