    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Respective production :
    January ⇒ 590
    February ⇒ 1240 – 590 = 650
    March ⇒ 1940 – 1240 = 700
    April ⇒ 2610 – 1940 = 670
    May ⇒ 3050 – 2610 = 440

    Correct Option: D

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Respective production :
    January ⇒ 590
    February ⇒ 1240 – 590 = 650
    March ⇒ 1940 – 1240 = 700
    April ⇒ 2610 – 1940 = 670
    May ⇒ 3050 – 2610 = 440
    ∴ Total production of cars in April and May = 670 + 440 = 1110


Direction: Study the table and answer the questions. The number of 5 types of cycles manufactured by a company over the years is given below :

  1. The production of E type of cycle in 2001 was what percent of production of B type in 2000?

    As per the given above table , we see
    The production of E type of cycle in 2001 = 80 thousands
    The production of B type of cycle in 2000 = 160 thousands

    Required percent =
    The production of E type of cycle in 2001
    × 100 %
    The production of B type of cycle in 2000

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given above table , we see
    The production of E type of cycle in 2001 = 80 thousands
    The production of B type of cycle in 2000 = 160 thousands

    Required percent =
    The production of E type of cycle in 2001
    × 100 %
    The production of B type of cycle in 2000

    Required percent =
    80
    × 100 = 50 %
    160



  1. What was the percentage drop in production of A-type cycle from 1997 to 1999?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    According to given table, we have
    Production of A-type cycle in 1997 = 200
    Production of A-type cycle in 1999 = 180
    Decrease = 200 - 180 = 20

    Required percentage decrease = Decrease × 100
    Production of A-type cycle in 1997

    Correct Option: A

    According to given table, we have
    Production of A-type cycle in 1997 = 200
    Production of A-type cycle in 1999 = 180
    Decrease = 200 - 180 = 20

    Required percentage decrease = Decrease × 100
    Production of A-type cycle in 1997

    Required percentage decrease =
    20
    = 10 %
    2


  1. In the case of which type of cycles was total production of the given 5 years the maximum?

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total production of cycles :
    Type–A ⇒ 945
    Type–B ⇒ 850
    Type–C ⇒ 520
    Type–D ⇒ 565

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total production of cycles :
    Type–A ⇒ 945
    Type–B ⇒ 850
    Type–C ⇒ 520
    Type–D ⇒ 565
    Type–E ⇒ 375
    Therefore , A type of cycle is required answer .



  1. What was the approximate percentage of increase in production of ‘D’ type of the cycle from 1998 to 2000?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    According to given table, we have
    Production of D – type cycles :
    Year 1998 ⇒ 105
    Year 2000 ⇒ 125
    Increase = 125 - 105 = 20

    Percentage increase =
    20
    × 100
    105

    Correct Option: B

    According to given table, we have
    Production of D – type cycles :
    Year 1998 ⇒ 105
    Year 2000 ⇒ 125
    Increase = 125 - 105 = 20

    Percentage increase =
    20
    × 100
    105

    Percentage increase =
    2000
    ≈ 19 %
    105
