Required ratio = 70° × 1.1 ∶ 80° × 1.1 = 7 ∶ 8
Detailed solution∶
Total amount collected by selling four items = 27000
Percentage amount collected by selling South Indian dishes = (80/360) × 100 = 200/9%
Amount collected by selling South Indian dishes = 27000 × (200/9) × (1/100) = 6000
New amount collected by selling South Indian dishes = [6000 × (10/100)] + 6000 = 6600
Percentage amount collected by selling Punjabi dishes = (70/360) × 100 = 700/36%
Amount collected by selling Punjabi dishes = 27000 × (700/36) × (1/100) = 5250
New amount collected by selling Punjabi dishes = 5250 + [5250 × (10/100)] = 5775

| A | B | C | |
| Initial calls(% out of total calls) | 40% | 30% | 30% |
| Lead calls (% out of initial calls) | 80% | x% | 88% |
| Final received calls(% out of lead calls) | 90% | 80% | y% |
Total number of initial calls in the company is 24000 and total number of calls not received by company C is 4464 less than the total number of calls received by company A. Find the value of y.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Data Interpretation Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
Let the total number of calls be 1000z.
Initial calls (% out of total calls) of A = (1000z × 40/100) = 400z
Initial calls (% out of total calls) of B = (1000z × 30/100) = 300z
Initial calls (% out of total calls) of C = (1000z × 30/100) = 300z
Lead calls (% out of initial calls) of A = (400z × 80/100) = 320z
Lead calls (% out of initial calls) of B = (300z × x/100) = 3zx
Lead calls (% out of initial calls) of C = (300z × 88/100) = 264z
Final received calls (% out of lead calls) of A = (320z × 90/100) = 288z
Final received calls (% out of lead calls) of B = (3zx × 80/100) = 3zx × (4/5)
Final received calls (% out of lead calls) of C = (264z × y/100)
Total number of initial calls in the company = 24000
⇒ (400z + 300z + 300z) = 24000
⇒ 1000z = 24000
⇒ z = (24000/1000)
⇒ z = 24
Total number of calls not received calls by C = (300h – 264z × y/100)
⇒ (300 × 24 – 264z × y/100)
⇒ (7200 – 264z × y/100)
According to the question
Total number of calls not received by company C is 4464 less than the total number of calls received by company A
⇒ (7200 – 264z × y/100) + 4464 = 288z
⇒ (7200 – 264 × 24 × y/100) + 4464 = 288 × 24
⇒ 7200 – 6336y/100 + 4464 = 6912
⇒ (720000 – 6336y + 446400)/100 = 6912
⇒ (720000 – 6336y + 446400) = 6912 × 100
⇒ (1166400 – 6336y) = 691200
⇒ (-6336y) = (691200 – 1166400)
⇒ (-6336y) = -475200
⇒ y = [-475200/(-6336)]
⇒ y = 75
∴ The value of y is 75

How many persons earn Rs. 200 or more but less than Rs. 300?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Data Interpretation Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
Number less than 200 = 12
Number less than 250 = 26
Number less than between 250 and 200 = (26 – 12)
⇒ 14
Again,
Number less than 250 = 26
Number less than 300 = 34
Number less than between 300 and 250 = (34 – 26)
⇒ 8
Persons earn Rs. 200 or more but less than Rs. 300 = (14 + 8)
⇒ 22
∴ Required persons is 22

∴ The correct answer is 74.29%.
Directions: The data for family sizes in a town is given below. Based on the bar graph, answer the question given below:
Calculate the average family size from the given data.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Data Interpretation Question 9 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
Number of families having 1 member = 5
Total members = 5
Number of families having 2 members = 30
Total members = 60
Number of families having 3 members = 45
Total members = 135
Number of families having 4 members = 40
Total members = 160
Number of families having 5 members = 25
Total members = 125
Number of families having 6 members = 5
Total members = 30
So, the total membes in all types of families = 5 + 60 + 135 + 160 + 125 + 30 = 515
Total number of families = 5 + 30 + 45 + 40 + 25 + 5 =150
The average family size = 515 / 150 = 3.4
Hence, option 3 is correct.
