a) Alpha b) Omega and Alpha c) Beta and Omega d) Beta
only e)None of these
Answer:
Explanation:
Alpha = 2800 – 1980 =820
Beta = 2750- 2900 =-250
Gamma = 2600 – 2250= 350
Omega = 1250 – 1485 = -235
Theta = 1950-3650 = - 1700
Change may be increase or decrease. So model
Theta has highest change of production in 2014 over 2013.
2. In which year does the production in model Omega
showed the highest percentage increase over the previous year?
a) 2012 b) 2013 c) 2014 d)

Answer
: A
Explanation
:
% Increase in 2012 = $\frac{1800-1400}{1400}$
x 100 % =28.57%
% Increase in 2014= $\frac{1485-1250}{1250}$
x 100% =18.8%
% Increase in 2015 =$\frac{1680-1485}{1485}$ x 100%
=13.13%
% increase in 2016 = $\frac{1800-1680}{1680}$ x 100% = 7.14%
The highest percentage increase
in the production of model Omega is in 2012 over the previous year

% contribution of Alpha model in 2011 = $\frac{2200}{11000}$ x 100% =
20%
% contribution of Beta model in 2011 = $\frac{2500}{11000}$ x 100% =
22.7%
% contribution of Gamma model in 2011 = $\frac{2100}{11000}$ x 100% = 19.09%
% contribution of Omega model in 2011 = $\frac{1400}{11000}$ x 100% = 12.72%
% contribution of Theta model in 2011 = $\frac{2800}{11000}$ x 100% =

a) 2009-10 b) 2010-11 c)2011-12 d) 2012-13 e)2013-14
Answer
: B
Explanation
:
% increase in 2009-10 over
previous year=$\frac{1500-1200}{1200}$
x 100% = 25%
% increase in 20010-11 over
previous year=$\frac{2400-1500}{1500}$ x 100% = 60%
% increase in 2009-10 over
previous year=$\frac{2800-2400}{2400}$ x 100% = 16.66%
% increase in 2009-10 over
previous year=$\frac{3280-2800}{2800}$ x 100% = 17.14%
% increase in 2009-10 over
previous year=$\frac{4000-3280}{3280}$ x 100% = 21.95%
In year 2010-11 , % increase in the
expenditure of finance department over previous year is maximum
3. The difference

D
Explanation
:
Total expenditure in the year
2012-13 = 2480 + 3280 + 18250 + 4250 +137 =28397
Total expenditure in the year
2013-14 = 1816 + 4000+ 10539 + 5100+ 600 =22055
The required difference is => 28397 –

% increase in expenditure in Production
department =$\frac{17250-15450}{15450}$ x 100% =11.65%
% increase in expenditure in Marketing
department =$\frac{4250-4000}{4000}$ x 100% =6.25%
