Directions (Q. 1-14): The following line chart shows the ratio of export to import of five companies A, B, C, D and E in years 2000 to 2004

The following Radar graph shows the projected % increase in export in year 2005 with respect to 2004. (It is assumed that the import in year 2005 is equal to the import in year 2004.)

1. In which year was export of company E the maximum?
1) 2000 2) 2002 3) 2003 4) Can’t say

2. The difference between export and import of company D is the maximum in the year
1) 2000 2) 2001 3) 2002 4) Can’t say

3. In year 2003 the difference between export and import is minimum of company
1) A 2) D 3) C 4) Can’t say

4. The export of company A in year 2001 is what percentage more/less than that in year 2000?
1) 24% less 2) 17% more 3) 11% less 4) Can’t be determined

5. The export of company C is twice that of company D in year 2001. The import of company D in year 2001 is 70 million more than the export. The import of company C in year 2001 is
1) 280 million 2) 220 million 3) 240 million 4) 180 million

6. The trade deficit of company B in year 2003 is 75% more than the trade deficit of company A. The ratio of import of company B to that of company A in year 2003 is
1) 13 : 5 2) 4 : 9 3) 6 : 3 4) 7 : 2

7. If the ratio of export of company E in 2003 to that in 2004 is 4 : 5, the combined ratio of export to import of company E in year 2003 and 2004 together is
1) 30 : 19 2) 17 : 9 3) 34 : 13 4) 29 : 16

8. The total transactions (export + import) of companies A, B and C in year 2004 are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 2. The export and import of companies A, B and C in year 2004 together are in the ratio of
1) 334 : 213 2) 226 : 179 3) 174 : 97 4) None of these

9. The ratio of export to import of company C in year 2005 as per the projection is
1) 6 : 7 2) 6 : 5 3) 4 : 3 4) 4 : 5

10. Total transaction (ie export + import) of company E in year 2003 is 33(1/3)% lower than the total transaction of company E in year 2004. Then the ratio of export to import of company E in the year 2003 and 2004 together is
1) 28 : 17 2) 17 : 28 3) 27 : 17 4) 3 : 2

11. If the projected growth in export of company C and company D together in year 2005 is 40% with respect to the previous year, the ratio of export to import of company C and D together in year 2004 is
1) 9 : 15 2) 7 : 10 3) 9 : 11 4) 5 : 6

12. As per the projection, how many companies have the import more than the export in 2005?
1) 2 2) 1 3) 3 4) None

13. If the exports of companies C, D and E in year 2004 are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 2, the overall % increase in the export of company C, D and E as per the projected percentage increase in 2005 is
1) 48.3% 2) 54.6% 3) 57.8% 4) 64.8%

14. If the difference between export and import of company A is 60% more than that between export and import of company B in year 2004, the difference between export and import of company B is what % more/less than that of company A in year 2005?
1) 7.5% less 2) 11.6% more 3) 15% less 4) 17.4% more.

Answers and explanations
1. 4; Only the ratio of export to import of each of the companies is given. Therefore it can’t be determined.
2. 4; Only the ratio of export to import of each of the company is given. Therefore we can’t find in which year the difference between export and import of company D is maximum. It depends upon the constant involved in each of the ratios.
3. 2; This question is similar to the above problem but we have to find the minimum difference. The minimum difference between export and import will be when Export = Import, ie ratio = 1. Hence company D.
4. 4; Different constants are involved in the ratios of export and import of company A in year 2001 and 2000. Therefore we can’t determine.

12. 4; In year 2004, only company D has import less than export. From year 2004 to 2005 export of the company D increase by 50%. Therefore, no company has import more than export as per the projection.

13. 1; As per the projected percentage increase, the overall % increase
