Direction: Study the table carefully and answer the questions given below.

  1. In which year the total production of scooters of all factories was 20% of the total production of scooters during 1985-1989?

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total production of scooters during 1985 - 1989 in thousands. = 115 + 108 + 149 + 102 + 101 = 575

    Now, 20% of 575 =
    20 × 575
    = 115
    100

    Correct Option: B

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total production of scooters during 1985 - 1989 in thousands. = 115 + 108 + 149 + 102 + 101 = 575

    Now, 20% of 575 =
    20 × 575
    = 115
    100

    It was in the year 1985.


  1. In which year, the total production of scooters was maximum?

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    The total production of scooters in 1985 = 115
    The total production of scooters in 1986 = 108
    The total production of scooters in 1987 = 149
    The total production of scooters in 1988 = 102
    The total production of scooters in 1989 = 101

    Correct Option: C

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    The total production of scooters in 1985 = 115
    The total production of scooters in 1986 = 108
    The total production of scooters in 1987 = 149
    The total production of scooters in 1988 = 102
    The total production of scooters in 1989 = 101
    From above it is clear that it was maximum in the year 1987.



  1. The ratio of the production of scooters by factory P to that by factory T in 1985 is

    As per the given above table , we can see
    The production of scooters by factory P in 1985 = 20
    The production of scooters by factory T in 1985 = 40
    Required ratio = The production of scooters by factory P in 1985 : The production of scooters by factory T in 1985

    Correct Option: C

    As per the given above table , we can see
    The production of scooters by factory P in 1985 = 20
    The production of scooters by factory T in 1985 = 40
    Required ratio = The production of scooters by factory P in 1985 : The production of scooters by factory T in 1985

    Required ratio =
    20
    = 1 : 2
    40


  1. Which factory/factories showed a decrease of 25% in the production of scooters in 1989 as compared to 1988?

    According to given table, we have
    Company Q produced 20 thousands scooters in 1988 and 15 thousands in 1989. Clearly, a decrease of 25%. Similar is the case with company R also.

    Correct Option: C

    According to given table, we have
    Company Q produced 20 thousands scooters in 1988 and 15 thousands in 1989. Clearly, a decrease of 25%. Similar is the case with company R also.
    Thus , Q and R are required answer .



  1. In which year, the production of scooters of all factories was equal to the yearly average number of scooters produced during 1985- 89?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    As per the given above table , we can see
    Total production of scooters of all factories = 115 + 108 + 149 + 102 + 101 = 575
    Number of given years = 5

    Required Average =
    Total production of scooters of all factories
    Number of given years

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given above table , we can see
    Total production of scooters of all factories = 115 + 108 + 149 + 102 + 101 = 575
    Number of given years = 5

    Required Average =
    Total production of scooters of all factories
    Number of given years

    Required Average =
    575
    = 115
    5

    Clearly, it was in the year 1985.
