Explanations

1. C; Total production in April

= 310+180+169+137+140+120=1056

15% of 1056 = x 1056 = 158.4

Total Production in June

= 320 + 160 + 188 + 173 + 135 + 130

= 1106

15% 1106 = x 1106 = 165.9

Total production in July

= 326+167+187+146+130=1136

15% of 1136 = x 1136 = 170.4

Total Production in August

= 327+150+185+178+145+128= 1113

15% of 1113 = x 1113 = 166.95 = 167

ie, in Month July, the Unit B has a contribution of approximately 15% in the total sugar production.

2. A; Unit A shows continuous increase in production of sugar over months.

3. D; In Unit E, the pair of months that shows equal sugar production is April and May.

4. A; Total Production in June =

320+160+188+173+135+130 = 1106

25% of 1106 = x 1106 = 276.5 units

ie, Unit A shows more than 25% of the total production of sugar in the month June.

5. B; In unit B, the production in June =

160 the production in April = 180 units

Decrease in percentage

= () 100 = x 100

= 11.11% = 10%

6. B; The price of commodity A in April = 1000

The price of commodity B in April = 1150

Difference = 1150 - 1000 = 150

7. B; Average price of commodity A from April to August

=

= = 985

Average price of commodity B from

April to August

=

= = 1060

Difference = 1060 - 985 = 75

8. C; Price of commodity A in April = 1000

Price of commodity A in August = 1000

Therefore, in April - August the price of

commodity A was same.

9. D; Price of commodity A in March = 1125

Price of commodity A in April = 1000

Decrease

= ( ) 100 = x 1000

= 11.11% = 12%

10. A; Price of commodity B in January = 1000

Price of commodity B in April = 1150

Increase = () 100

= = 15%
