Explanation: x 100 x 145
From the line-graph it is clear that the productions of From (i) and (ii), we get:
Company X in the years 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000,

Total production of Company X from 1997 to 2002 Total expenditure of Companies X and Y in 1996
= 119000 + 99000 + 141000 + 78000 + 120000 + = 2x = Rs. 240 crores.

Explanation: Then, 50 = x 100 z = 465.
The difference between the productions of 310
Companies X and Y in various years are: Income of Company X in 2001 = Rs. 465 crores.
For 1997 (139000 - 119000) = 20000. 18. (d)
For 1998 (120000 - 99000) = 21000. Explanation:
For 1999 (141000 - 100000) = 41000. Let the incomes of each of the two Companies X and
For 2000 (128000 - 78000) = 50000. Y in 1999 be Rs. x.
For 2001 (120000 - 107000) = 13000. And let the expenditures of Companies X and Y in
For 2002 (159000 - 148000) = 11000. 1999 be E1 and E2 respectively.
Clearly, maximum difference was in 2000. Then, for Company X we have:

Explanation: 60 = x 100 = -1 x= E2 .... (ii)
E2 100 E2 100
Profit percent of Company Y in 1997 = 35.
Let the income of Company Y in 1997 be From (i) and (ii), we get:

23. Explanation: Income - Expenditure
It is given that : % Profit = x 100
The number of candidates qualified in 1999 = (80% Expenditure

Number of candidates qualified in 2000 = (33500 - = -1

Income % Profit
Let the number of candidates appeared in 2000 be x. = + 1.
12300 x 100 Expenditure 100
Then, 60% of x = 12300 x= = 20500.

Also, let the incomes in 1996 and 1999 be I1 and I2

So the minimum ratio of income to expenditure is in
Then, for the year 1996, we have:

Then, expenditure in 2000 = x + (25% of x) = x.
From (i) and (ii), we get: 4
Also, let the incomes in 1997 and 2000 be I1 and

In 1996 : Number of students left = 250 and number Required percentage = x 100 % = 112.5%.
of students joined = 350. 360
In 1997 : Number of students left = 450 and number 48. (b)
of students joined = 300. Explanation:
In 1998 : Number of students left = 400 and number (370 + 385) 755
Required percentage = x 100 % = x 100 % = 75.5%.
