Question 1

Directions: Study the following table which shows the sales (in Crores) of three companies from 2018 to 2022 and answer the questions.

| Year | Company X | Company Y | Company Z |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 30 | 40 | 50 |
| 2019 | 45 | 35 | 55 |
| 2020 | 50 | 50 | 60 |
| 2021 | 60 | 55 | 65 |
| 2022 | 55 | 60 | 70 |

What was the average sales of Company Y over all the given years?

Accepted Answer

48 Crores

Answer

To find the average, sum the sales of Company Y for all years and divide by the number of years. Total Sales = 40 + 35 + 50 + 55 + 60 = 240 Crores. Number of years = 5. Average = 240 / 5 = 48 Crores.

Question 2

What is the ratio of the total sales of Company X in 2018 and 2019 together to the total sales of Company Z in the same years?

Accepted Answer

5:7

Answer

First, calculate the total sales for each company in the specified years. Total sales of Company X (2018+2019) = 30 + 45 = 75. Total sales of Company Z (2018+2019) = 50 + 55 = 105. The ratio is 75:105, which simplifies to 5:7 by dividing both numbers by 15.

Question 3

The sales of Company X in 2020 were approximately what percentage of the total sales of all three companies in that year?

Accepted Answer

31.25%

Answer

First, find the total sales of all companies in 2020: 50 (X) + 50 (Y) + 60 (Z) = 160. Then, calculate the percentage for Company X: (Sales of X / Total Sales) * 100 = (50 / 160) * 100 = 31.25%.

Question 4

In which year did Company Z show the highest percentage increase in sales over the previous year?

Accepted Answer

2019

Answer

Calculate the percentage increase for each year: 
2019: ((55-50)/50)*100 = 10%. 
2020: ((60-55)/55)*100 ≈ 9.09%. 
2021: ((65-60)/60)*100 ≈ 8.33%. 
2022: ((70-65)/65)*100 ≈ 7.69%. The highest increase was 10% in 2019.

Question 5

What is the difference between the total sales of Company Y and the total sales of Company X over the five years?

Accepted Answer

0 Crores

Answer

First, sum the total sales for each company. Total Sales of Company Y = 40+35+50+55+60 = 240. Total Sales of Company X = 30+45+50+60+55 = 240. The difference is 240 - 240 = 0.
