Given is a line graph showing the number of accidents in a city during the first 6 months of 1999.

The decrease % of accidents from May to June is

  • 15 3 over 8 percent sign
  • 15 1 over 8 percent sign
  • 15 5 over 8 percent sign
  • 15 7 over 8 percent sign

Solution

C.

15 5 over 8 percent sign

Required Percentage Decrease:
   equals space fraction numerator 32 minus 27 over denominator 32 end fraction cross times 100
equals space fraction numerator 5 cross times 100 over denominator 32 end fraction space equals space 125 over 8 space equals space 15 5 over 8 percent sign

The following graph shows production (in thousands) of two types (P and Q) of vehicles by a factory over the years 2009 to 2014. Study the graph and answer the given questions.


In how many of the given years, was the production of Type P vehicles of the company more than the average production of this type vehicles in the given years?

  • 3

  • 4

  • 2

  • 5

Solution

A.

3

Average production of type P vehicles
equals space fraction numerator 100 plus 125 plus 200 plus 225 plus 275 plus 275 over denominator 6 plus end fraction space equals space 1200 over 6 space equals space 200 space thousands
Required years
⟹   2012, 2013 and 2014

The following graph shows production (in thousands) of two types (P and Q) of vehicles by a factory over the years 2009 to 2014. Study the graph and answer the given questions.

Approximate percentage decrease in production of Type Q vehicles from 2010 to 2011 is

  • 10.1

  • 16.7

  • 14.3

  • 12.5

Solution

B.

16.7

Required percentage decrease
equals space open parentheses fraction numerator 150 minus 125 over denominator 150 end fraction close parentheses space cross times space 100
equals space 25 over 150 space cross times space 100 space equals space 50 over 3 space equals space 16.7 percent sign

Question

The following graph shows production (in thousands) of two types (P and Q) of vehicles by a factory over the years 2009 to 2014. Study the graph and answer the given questions.

The total production of Type P vehicles in the years 2009 and 2011 is what percent of total production of Type Q vehicles in 2010 and 2014?

  • 75

  • 69.25

  • 80

  • 81.25

Solution

C.

80

Total production of type P vehicles in 2009 and 2011
  = 100 + 200 = 300 thousands
Total production of type Q vehicles in 2010 and 2014
 = 150 + 225 = 375 thousands
∴  Required percent
    equals space fraction numerator 300 over denominator 375 space end fraction cross times space 100 space equals space 80 percent sign
