Question: 1

In how many of the given years was the production of fertilizers more than the average production of the given years?

(A) 1

(B) 2

(C) 3

(D) 4

(E) 5

Ans: D

Average production (in 10000 tonnes) over the given years

= $${(25 + 40 + 60 + 45 + 65 + 50 + 75 + 80)} / {8}$$ = $${440} / {8}$$ = 55.

Clearly, the product during 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 are more than the average production. These are 4 years.

Question: 2

The average production of 2006 and 2007 was exactly equal to the average production of which of the following pairs of years?

(A) 2005 and 2009

(B) 2005 and 2011

(C) 2008 and 2010

(D) 2009 and 2010

(E) 2010 and 2011

Ans: B

Average production (in 10000 tonnes) during 2006 and 2007 = $${(40 + 60)} / {2})$$ = $${100} / {2}$$ = 50.

Average production (in 10000 tonnes) during 2010 and 2011 ⇒ $${(50 + 75)} / {2})$$ = $${125} / {2}$$ = 62.5.

(2009 and 2010) ⇒ $${(65 + 50)} / {2})$$ = $${115} / {2}$$ = 57.5.

(2008 and 2010) ⇒ $${(45 + 50)} /{2})$$ = $${95} /{2}$$ = 47.5.

(2005 and 2009) ⇒ $${(25 + 65)} / {2})$$ = $${90} / {2}$$ = 45.

(2005 and 2009) ⇒ $${(25 + 75)} / {2})$$ = $${100} /{2}$$ = 50.

Average production of 2006 and 2007 = Average production of 2005 and 2011.

Question: 3

What was the percentage decline in the production of fertilizers from 2007 and 2008?

(A) 25%

(B) 30%

(C) 35%

(D) 40%

Ans: A

Decline percentage from 2007 to 2008

= [$${(60 - 45)} / {60} × 100]$$% = $$({15} / {60} × 100)$$% = 25%.

Question: 4

In which year was the percentage increase in production as compared to the previous year, the maximum?

(A) 2005

(B) 2006

(C) 2009

(D) 2011

Ans: B

Question: 5

What was the percentage increase in production of fertilizers in 2012 compared to that in 2005?

(A) 200%

(B) 220%

(C) 270%

(D) 300%

Ans: B

Percentage increase in production in 2012 compared to 2005

= $$[{(80 - 25)} / {25} × 100]$$% = $$({55}/{25} × 100)$$% = 220%.
