Direction: Read the following graph carefully and answer the following questions:

The following bar graph shows the quantity(in kg) of wheat, rice, pulses and salts sold by two companies P and Q in the month of January. 

What is the ratio of total quantity(in kg) of wheat and pulses sold by company P to company Q?

  1. AOption (a)

    4:9

  2. BOption (b)

    4:5

  3. COption (c)

    4:3

  4. DOption (d)

    5:4

  5. EOption (e)

    4:7

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

4:5

Why this answer is correct

The total quantity of wheat and pulses in company P is 

⇒ 300+200 = 500kg

The total quantity of wheat and pulses in company Q is 

⇒ 350+275 = 625kg

Ratio of this quantity of P and Q is 500 : 625

⇒ 500 : 625  = 4 : 5

Hence 4 : 5 is the correct answer.

Question 162

LIC Assistant 2022• Numerical Ability

Direction: Read the following graph carefully and answer the following questions:

The following bar graph shows the quantity(in kg) of wheat, rice, pulses and salts sold by two companies P and Q in the month of January. 

What is the difference between the quantity of Rice and Salts sold by company Q and the quantity of Pulses and Salts sold by company P?

  1. AOption (a)

    140 kg

  2. BOption (b)

    180 kg

  3. COption (c)

    240 kg

  4. DOption (d)

    210 kg

  5. EOption (e)

    200 kg

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

140 kg

Why this answer is correct

Quantity of rice in company Q is 200 kg and salts in company Q is 320kg

Total quantity of Rice and Salt ,

⇒ 200+320 = 520kg

Quantity of pulses in company P is 200kg and salts in company P is 180kg 

Total quantity of Pulses and salts 

⇒ 200kg+180kg = 380kg 

Then difference of these quantities 

⇒ 520kg - 380kg 

⇒ 140 kg 

Hence 140 kg is the correct answer.

Question 163

LIC Assistant 2022• Numerical Ability

Direction: Read the following graph carefully and answer the following questions:

The following bar graph shows the quantity(in kg) of wheat, rice, pulses and salts sold by two companies P and Q in the month of January. 

The total quantity of wheat, rice, pulses and salts sold by company P is approximately what percentage more or less than the total quantities sold by company Q?

  1. AOption (a)

    22% more

  2. BOption (b)

    25% less

  3. COption (c)

    15% more

  4. DOption (d)

    12% less

  5. EOption (e)

    19% less

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

19% less

Why this answer is correct

Total quantity of wheat, rice, pulses and salts in company P is 

⇒ 300kg + 250kg +200kg +180kg 

⇒ 930 kg 

Total quantity of wheat, rice, pulses and salts in company Q is 

⇒ 350kg +200kg + 275kg + 320kg = 1145kg

⇒ 1145kg - 930kg = 215kg 

⇒ ( 215kg / 1145kg ) × 100

⇒ 18.77%~ 19% less than the company Q

Hence 19% less is the correct answer.

Question 164

LIC Assistant 2022• Numerical Ability

Direction: Read the following graph carefully and answer the following questions:

The following bar graph shows the quantity(in kg) of wheat, rice, pulses and salts sold by two companies P and Q in the month of January. 

What is the difference between the quantity of salts sold by company P and Q together and the quantity of wheat sold by company P?

  1. AOption (a)

    90 kg

  2. BOption (b)

    200 kg

  3. COption (c)

    150 kg

  4. DOption (d)

    160 kg

  5. EOption (e)

    80 kg

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

200 kg

Why this answer is correct

Quantity of Salts sold by company P and Q together is 

⇒ 180kg + 320kg 

⇒  500 kg 

Quantity of wheat sold by company P is 

⇒  300 kg 

Difference in quantity is 

⇒ 500kg - 300kg 

⇒ 200 kg 

Hence 200 kg is the correct answer.

Question 165

LIC Assistant 2022• Numerical Ability

Direction: Read the following graph carefully and answer the following questions:

The following bar graph shows the quantity(in kg) of wheat, rice, pulses and salts sold by two companies P and Q in the month of January. 

The quantity(in kg) of wheat, rice, pulses and salts sold by two companies P and Q together in the month of February is 20% more than the total quantities sold by two companies P and Q together in the month of January. Find the total quantities of all the four items sold in the month of February.

  1. AOption (a)

    2490 kg

  2. BOption (b)

    2500 kg

  3. COption (c)

    2750 kg

  4. DOption (d)

    2330 kg

  5. EOption (e)

    2440 kg

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

2490 kg

Why this answer is correct

The total quantity of wheat, rice, pulses and salts sold by companies P and Q in the month of January is 

 ⇒ 2075 kg 

 In the month of February quantity is 20% more than the month of January is 

 ⇒ 20% = 1/ 5

 ⇒ 5 unit = 2075 kg 

 Then, quantity of P and Q in the month of February is 5 unit + 1 unit = 6 unit 

 ⇒ 1 unit = 415 kg 

 Then, 6 unit = 2490 kg 

 Hence 2490 kg is the correct answer.

  2. C is sitting exactly between F and B, who is sitting immediate left of H.

  3. The number of people sitting to the left of A is the same as to the right of H.

In case I: No one sits to the left of A so, a one sits to the right of H.

In case II: Four people sitting to the right of  A so, four people are sitting to the left of H.

  1. H is sitting four places away from E, who is not an immediate neighbour of C.

Case I is eliminated because no one sits to the right of H and E is an immediate neighbour of C.

In case II: E sits fourth to the right of H.
