In case of which battery there was a continuous decrease in sales from 1992 to 1997?

Directions ( 1 – 4 ) : The following table gives the sales of batteries manufactured by a company over the

years. Study the table chart and answer the questions based on it.

1.

What was the approximate percentage
increase in the sales of 55AH batteries in 1998 compared to that in 1992 ?

2.

In the case of which battery, there
was a continuous decrease in sales from 1992 to 1997 ?

3.

The total sales of all the seven years
is the maximum for which battery ?

4.

What is the difference in the number
of 35AH batteries sold in 1993 and 1997 ?

Directions ( 5- 8) : The bar graph provided below gives the sales of books (in thousand numbers) from six branches of a publishing company during two consecutive years

2000 and 2001. Answer the questions based on the graph.

5.

Total sales of the branches B1, B3 and
B5 together for both the years (in thousand numbers) is :

6.

Total sales of branch B6 for both the
years is what percent of the total sales of the branch B3 for both the years ?

7.

What is the average sale of all the
branches (in thousand numbers) for the year 2000 ?

8.

What is the ratio of the total sales of branch B2 for both the years to the total sales of the branch B4 for both

the years ?

1. (3) : Increase is = 145-108 = 37
Now we need to calculate that 37 is what percent
of 108.
[(37/108)∗

2.

(4) : After analysing table chart, it is clear that the sales of 7AH batteries have been decreasing

continuously from 1992 to 1997.

3. (1) : The total sales
(in thousands) of all the seven years for various batteries

are :
a t.

For
4AH = 75 + 90 + 96 + 105 + 90 + 105 + 115 = 676

For
7AH = 144 + 126 + 114 + 90 + 75 + 60 + 85 = 694

For
32AH = 114 + 102 + 75 + 150 + 135 + 165 + 160 = 901

For 35
AH = 102 + 84 + 105 + 90 + 75 + 45 + 100 = 601

For 55
AH = 108 + 126 + 135 + 75 + 90 + 120 + 145 = 799.

Clearly,
sales are maximum in case of 32AH batteries.

4. (2) : Required
difference = [(84 – 45) * 1000] = 39000.

Directions : ( 5 – 8)

5.

(3) : Total sales of branches B1, B3 and B5 for both the years (in thousand numbers is)=

(80+105)+(95+110)+(75+95)

6. (4): Required Percentage =
[(70+80)/(95+110)∗100]%=150/205∗

7.

(2) : Average sale of all the branches for the year 2000 is 1/6(80+75+95+85+75+70)

= 80

8.

(2) Required Ratio = (75+65)/(85+95)=140/180=7/9=7:9
