Solutions:
1. C) Total no. of teachers in Bangalore =
3360 × 80/100 = 2688
Therefore,
no. of female teachers = 2688 – 1800 = 888
No.
of female teachers in the next year = 888 × 150/100 = 1332
And
the no. of female employees in Bangalore = 3360/14 × 6 = 1140
Therefore,
required % = (1332/1440) × 100 = 92.5%
2. A) No. of female employees in
Bengal = 2054/13 × 6 = 948
Therefore,
required % = (948/2054) × 100 = 46.15%
No.
of female employees in UP = 2880/16 × 5 = 900
Therefore
required % = (900/2880) × 100 = 31.25%
No.
of female employees in Bangalore = 3360/14 × 6 = 1140
Therefore,
required % = (1440/3360) × 100 = 42.85%
No.
female employees in MP = 2788/41 × 21 = 1428
Therefore,
required % = (1428/2788) × 100 = 51.21%
No.
of female employees in Delhi = 2568/12 × 7 = 1498
Therefore
required % = (1498/2568) × 100 = 58.33%
Therefore,
required answer is Bengal.
3. D) Total no. of male employees in
UP and Bangalore together = 2880/16 × 11 + 3360/14 × 8 = 1980 + 1920 = 3900
Total
no. of teachers in UP and Bangalore = 2880 × 65/100 + 3360 × 80/100 = 1872 +
2688 = 4560
Therefore
required ratio = 3900 : 4560 = 65 : 76
4. A) Average no. of teachers in
Delhi, UP and Bihar together = [(2568 × 78/100) + (2800 × 65/100) + (3575 ×
60/100)]/3 = [(1926 + 1872 + 2145)/3] = 1981
Average
no. of teachers in MP, Mumbai and Bangalore together = [(2788 × 75/100) + (3720
× 55/100) + (3360 × 80/100)]/3 = [2091 + 2046 + 2688]/3 = 2275
Therefore
required difference = 2275 – 1981 = 294
5. A) Average no. of employees per
office in
Bihar
= 3575/22 = 162.5
Bangalore
= 3360/21 = 160
Mumbai
= 3725/24 = 155
Delhi
= 2568/16 = 160.5
MP
= 288/17 = 164
Therefore
required answer is Bihar.
6. E) The pattern of the number
series is :
389
– 117 = 272
525
– 389 = 136
593
– 525 = 68
627
– 593 = 34
Therefore,
? = 627 + 17 = 644
7. D) The pattern of the number
series is :
7
+ 1 × 4 = 11
11
+ (1 + 2) × 4 = 11 + 3 × 4 = 23
23
+ (3 + 4) × 4 = 23 + 7 × 4 = 51
51
+ (7 + 6) × 4 = 51 + 13 × 4 = 103
103
+ (13 + 8) × 4 = 103 + 21 × 4 = 187
8. D) The pattern of the number
series is :
18
+ 9 = 27
27
+ (9 + 13) = 49
49
+ (9 + 26) = 84
84
+ (9 + 39) = 132
132
+ (9 + 52) = 193
9. B) The pattern of the number
series is :
33
+ 10 = 43
43
+ (10 + 12) = 65
65
+ (10 + 24) = 99
99
+ (10 + 36) = 145
145
+ (10 + 48) = 203
10. E) The pattern of the number
series is :
655
– 439 = 216 = 6^3
439
– 314 = 125 = 5^3
314
– 250 = 64 = 4^3
250
– 223 = 27 = 3^3
Therefore,
? = 223 – 2^3 = 223 – 8 = 215
