16. The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and that of B
and C be 43 kg, then the weight of B is:
A.
17 kg
B.
20 kg
C.
26 kg
D.
31 kg
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let A, B, C represent their respective weights. Then, we have:
A + B + C = (45 x 3) = 135 .... (i)
A + B = (40 x 2) = 80 .... (ii)
B + C = (43 x 2) = 86 ....(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get: A + 2B + C = 166 .... (iv)
Subtracting (i) from (iv), we get : B = 31.
B's weight = 31 kg.
The following line graph gives the ratio of the amounts of imports by a company to the amount of
exports from that company over the period from 1995 to 2001.
Ratio of Value of Imports to Exports by a Company Over the Years.
17. The imports were minimum proportionate to the exports of the company in the year ?
A. 1995
B. 1996
C. 1997
D. 2000
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The imports are minimum proportionate to the exports implies that the ratio of the value of imports
to exports has the minimum value.
Now, this ratio has a minimum value 0.35 in 1997, i.e., the imports are minimum proportionate to
the exports in 1997.
18. What was the percentage increase in imports from 1997 to 1998 ?
A.
72
B.
56
C.
28
D.
Data inadequate
Answer: Option D
Explanation: The graph gives only the ratio of imports to exports for different years. To find the
percentage increase in imports from 1997 to 1998, we require more details such as the value of
imports or exports during these years.
Hence, the data is inadequate to answer this question
.
19. In how many of the given years were the exports more than the imports ?
A.
1
B.
2
C.
3
D.
4
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The exports are more than the imports imply that the ratio of value of imports to exports is less than
1.
Now, this ratio is less than 1 in years 1995, 1996, 1997 and 2000.
Thus, there are four such years.
