View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

3840

Why this answer is correct

Let the number of books published by company C in May be x

Number of books published by Company C in June be x

Now,

Average number of books received by each distributor of Company C in May and June was 168.

Average = Sum of all the observations/Total number of observations

⇒ Total number of books received by each distributor of Company C in May and June

⇒ 168 × 32 = 5376

According to the given table

⇒ 65% of x +75% x = 5376

⇒ (65/100) × x + (75/100) × x = 5376

⇒ 140x = 537600

⇒ x = 3840

∴ Number of books published by Company C in June is 3840

Question 72

  5. EOption (e)

    40

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

60

Why this answer is correct

Let the number of books published by company D in May be x

Number of books published by company E in May be y

According to question,

⇒18×72100×x=16×90100×y \Rightarrow \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{{72}}{{100}} \times x = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{{90}}{{100}} \times y

⇒ x/y = 5/3

∴ Required percentage = (3/5) × 100 = 60%

Question 73

Other Govt. Exams 2023• Numerical Aptitude

Direction: Study the given table carefully and answer the following question accordingly

In the following table, the percentage of published books distributed and the number of distributors from five publishing company in two Months May and June.

Note: All the given companies distributed the published books among its respective distributors during both the given months

In June, the difference between number of books distributed by Company B and that by Company D was 864. If number of books published by Company B in June was 1/3rd of the number of books published by Company D in the same month, what was the number of books published by Company B in June?

  1. AOption (a)

    2000

  2. BOption (b)

    900

  3. COption (c)

    1800

  4. DOption (d)

    Cannot be determined

  5. EOption (e)

    1200

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

1200

Why this answer is correct

Let the number of books published by Company D in June be 3x

According to the question,

Number of books published by Company B in June will be x

Now,

(52/100) × 3x = (84/100) × x = 864

⇒ 156x - 84x = 86400

⇒ 72x = 86400

⇒ x = 1200

∴ Number of published by company B is 1200

Question 74

If each distributor of company A received 255 books in June, what was the number of books published by Company A in June?

  1. AOption (a)

    4800

  2. BOption (b)

    3200

  3. COption (c)

    3840

  4. DOption (d)

    4480

  5. EOption (e)

    5120

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

4800

Why this answer is correct

Total number of distributors of company A in June = 16

Each distributor of company A received 255 books

Total books distributed by company A = 16 × 255 = 4080

Now,

From the table we can say that,

85% = 4080

⇒ 1% = 4080/85

⇒ 100% = (4080/85) × 100 = 4800

∴ Total number of books published by Company A in June = 4800

Question 75

    32(1/3) %

  3. COption (c)

    36(2/3) %

  4. DOption (d)

    33(1/3) %

  5. EOption (e)

    39(2/3) %

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

33(1/3) %

Why this answer is correct

Calculation:

Let the number of books published by E in June be 100

Number of books received by each distributor of company E in June

⇒111×88100×100=8\Rightarrow \frac{1}{{11}} \times \frac{{88}}{{100}} \times 100 = 8

Number of the books not distributed by the company E among its distributors in June

⇒ (12/100 × 100) = 12

∴ Required percentage = (12 - 8)/12 × 100 = 33.33%
