    P

  2. BOption (b)

    Q

  3. COption (c)

    R

  4. DOption (d)

    P and Q both

  5. EOption (e)

    Q and R both

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Q

Why this answer is correct

Total amount generated by shop P =40 x 500 + 60 x 800 = Rs. 68000.

Total amount generated by shop Q =70 x 500 + 50 x 800 = Rs. 75000.

Total amount generated by shop R =25 x 500 + 42 x 800 = Rs. 46100.

Hence shop Q generate the most amount.

Question 42

LIC ADO 2023• Numerical Ability

Direction: The bar graph given below provides the detail about the total number of watches and the total number of bags sold in three shops P, Q and R. Analyze the data and answer the following questions:

Find the percentage by which the total number of items in shop Q is more/less than the total number of items in shop P?

  1. AOption (a)

    20%

  2. BOption (b)

    25%

  3. COption (c)

    5%

  4. DOption (d)

    15%

  5. EOption (e)

    10%

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

20%

Why this answer is correct

The total number of items in shop P = 40 + 60 = 100

The total number of items in shop Q = 70 + 50 = 120.

Hence by ((120 - 100)/100) x 100 = 20%, the total items in shop Q are more.

Question 43

LIC ADO 2023• Numerical Ability

Direction: The bar graph given below provides the detail about the total number of watches and the total number of bags sold in three shops P, Q and R. Analyze the data and answer the following questions:

Find the ratio of the total number of bags in shops P and Q together and the total number of watches in shops Q and R taken together?

  1. AOption (a)

    51:59

  2. BOption (b)

    55:46

  3. COption (c)

    4:5

  4. DOption (d)

    5:4

  5. EOption (e)

    None of the above

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

55:46

Why this answer is correct

The total number bags in shops P and Q = 40 + 70 = 110

The total number of watches in shops Q and R = 50 + 42 = 92

So the ratio is 110:92 = 55:46.

    140

  5. EOption (e)

    None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

224

Why this answer is correct

Calculation:

The series follows the following pattern:

⇒ 7 × 0.5 = 3.5

⇒ 3.5 × 1 = 3.5

⇒ 3.5 × 2 = 7

⇒ 7 × 4 = 28

⇒ 28 × 8 = 224

∴ The value of ? is 224

Answer: (d)D.

102

Why this answer is correct

Given:

12, 16, 25, 41, 66, ?

Calculation:

The series follows the following pattern

12 + 22 = 16

16 + 32 = 25

25 + 42 = 41

41 + 52 = 66

66 + 62 = 102

∴ The required value of ? is 102

    39

  5. EOption (e)

    47

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

47

Why this answer is correct

Calculation:

Considering the above series,

1, 3, 11, ?, 239, 1439

The logic of the series can be explained as,

1 × 2 + 1 = 3

3 × 3 + 2 = 11

11 × 4 + 3 = ? = 47

47 × 5 + 4 = 239

239 × 6 + 5 = 1439

∴ The value of (?) is 47.

Question 48

LIC ADO 2023• Numerical Ability

What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?

8, 22, 50, 92, 148, ?

  1. AOption (a)

    218

  2. BOption (b)

    208

  3. COption (c)

    198

  4. DOption (d)

    228

  5. EOption (e)

    238

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

218

Why this answer is correct

The pattern of the series is as follows: +14, +28, +42, +56, +70

8 + 14 = 22

22 + 28 = 50

50 + 42 = 92

92 + 56 = 148

148 + 70 = 218

∴ The required answer is 218.

Question 49

LIC ADO 2023• Numerical Ability

MonthsAB
July500150
August650200
September750300
October800400
November500500

If the cost price of mangoes in company B is Rs. 50 and the total profit made by selling all the mangoes is Rs. 9000 in the month of September, find the percentage of profit made in the whole transaction?

  1. AOption (a)

    40%

  2. BOption (b)

    50%

  3. COption (c)

    60%

  4. DOption (d)

    45%

  5. EOption (e)

    Neither profit nor loss

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

60%

Why this answer is correct

Total quantity of mangoes is 300 kg.

Total cost incurred is 50 x 300 = 15000

Profit made is Rs. 9000,

So the total selling price of 300 kg mangoes = 15000 + 9000 = 24000.

So the selling price of 1 kg mango = 24000/300 = Rs. 80/kg

Hence the profit percentage = ((80 - 50)/50) x 100 = 60%.

Question 50

LIC ADO 2023• Numerical Ability

In the below-given table, the total number of mangoes sold (in kg) in five different months for two companies A and B is given. On the basis of the given data, determine the answers to the questions asked.

MonthsAB
July500150
August650200
September750300
October800400
November500500

If the cost price of mangoes in the month of August for companies A and B is increased by 20% and 25% compared to the previous months and the cost price of mangoes in companies A and B is Rs. 60/kg and Rs. 40/kg respectively, find the total profit made by both the companies when the selling price of mangoes in both the companies is Rs. 80/kg?

  1. AOption (a)

    Rs. 41200

  2. BOption (b)

    Rs. 31200

  3. COption (c)

    Rs. 11200

  4. DOption (d)

    Rs. 22200

  5. EOption (e)

    None of the above

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Rs. 11200

Why this answer is correct

The cost prices of mangoes in companies A and B be Rs. 60/kg and Rs. 40/kg.

The new cost prices are 1.2 x 60 = Rs. 72/kg and 1.25 x 40 = Rs. 50/kg respectively.

So the total cost price = 72 x 650 + 200 x 50 = 46800 + 10000 = Rs. 56800.

Total selling price = 80 x (650 + 200) = 68000.

So the profit = Rs. 11200.
