    A) 3,86,400

    176400 + 109200 : 201600 + 100800
    2856 : 3024
    17 : 18

    A = 117600, B = 201600, C = 109200, D = 134400, E = 100800, F = 176400
    Females in B, D, and A = 35/100 × 201600 + 51/100 × 134400 + 53/100 × 100800 = 192528

    E) 1510
    View Answer
    Option E

    Sold in 2012 = 560+440+450 = 1450
    Sold in 2013 = 510+460+490 = 1460
    Sold in 2014 = 590+480+550 = 1620
    Total number sold in 3 years = 1450+1460+1620 = 4530

    Total money generated in 2014 by selling Toshiba only = 480*33 = 15840 million
    So % = [15840/24490] × 100 = 64%

    A) 1.9% increased
    B) 2.9% decreased

    D) 2% increased
    E) 3.0% decreased
    View Answer

    Solution:

    Avg price in 2012 = (10+35+7)/3 = 17.33
    Avg price in 2013 = (11+34+6)/3 = 17
    So % change = [(17.33-17)/17.33] × 100 = 1.9% decreased

    C) 683.40
    D) 625.40
    E) 643.60
    View Answer
    Option B
    Solution:

    In 2014, avg price of Sony is 10,000
    So in 2015, after decreasing by 10%, price per TV becomes = 90/100 * 10 = Rs 9
    Now, income generated by selling Sony in 2014 = 590*10 = 5900 million
    So in years 2015, no of Sony TV sold is 5900/9 = 655.5 thousand
