Directions (1-5): Study the following graph carefully to answer the question given below it.
Production of Sugar (in thousand tonnes) by three different sugar factories over the years.
1. For which of the following pairs of years the total production of the three companies together is equal?
2. In which of the following years for company ‘A’ the per cent rise/fall from the previous year is the maximum?
Percentage increase in 1996=(60 -40)/40 * 100 = 50%
3. Average production per year for company ‘B’ is approximately what per cent of the average production per year for company ‘C’?
Average production per year for company B=(50 + 55 + 45 + 70 + 50 + 60 + 80)/7 =410/7
Average production per year for company C=(55 + 40 + 60 + 75 + 60 + 80 + 70)/7 =440/7
Required Percentage
= 410/440 * 100 = 93%
4. What is the percent rise in production of company ‘C’ in 1996 from 1995?
Required Percentage = (75 – 60)/60 * 100 = 25%
5. What is the difference between the average production of the three companies together in 1997 and the average production of the three companies together in 1999 in thousand tonnes.?
Required difference
= (80 + 70 + 60)/3 – (60 + 55 + 50)/3
= 210/3 – 165/3 = 70 – 55
15 thousand tonnes
6. What is the difference between the production of company C in 1999 and the production of company A in 2004?
Required difference = 50 – 45 = 5 lakh tonne
= 5,00,000 tonnes
7. What is the percentage increase in production of company ‘A’ from 2000 to 2001?
Required percentage = (55 – 40)/40 * 100
= 75/2 = 37.5%
8. For which of the following years the percentage of rise/fall in production from the previous year is the maximum for company B?
In 2001 =(60 -50)/60 * 100 = 16.66%
9. The total production of company C in 2001 and 2002 is what percentage of the total production of company A in 1999 and 2000?
Required percentage = (60 + 60)/(50 + 40) * 100
120/90 * 100 = 133.33%
10. What is the difference between the average production per year of the company with highest average production and the company with lowest average production in lakh tones?
Average production of company A
= (50 + 40 + 55 + 45 + 60 + 50)/6
= 300/6 = 50 lakh tonnes
Average production of company B
= (55 + 60 + 50 + 55 + 50 + 55)/6
= 325/6 = 54.17 lakh tones
Average production of company C
= (45 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 45 + 40)/6
= 300/6 = 50 lakh tones
Required difference = 54.17 – 50
= 4.17 lakh tones
