  • 1. In which of the following years was the number of light commercial vehicles sold approximately 25% of the number of 2-wheelers sold?

    1. 1991
    2. 1992
    3. 1993
    4. 1994
    Answer :

    Option D

    Explanation:

    In the year 1994,
    Number of light commercial vehicles sold were 112
    Number of 2-wheelers sold were 442

    So,
    \begin{aligned}
    \left(\frac{112}{442}*100\right) = 25.33\%
    \end{aligned}

  • 2. If the same percentage increase in the number of Heavy Vehicle as in 1994 over 1993 is expected in 1995, approximately how many heavy vehicles will be sold in 1995?

    1. 141
    2. 156
    3. 176
    4. 181
    Answer :

    Option A

    Explanation:

    In this question, by referring the table chart, first we need to calculate the increase(in percentage) in sale of Heavy Vehicle in 1994 over 1993

    Heavy Vehicle sold in 1993 = 81
    Heavy Vehicle sold in 1993 = 107

    Increase = 107 - 81 = 26

    Now 26 is what percent of 81 ?
    \begin{aligned}
    \left(\frac{26}{81}*100 \right)\% \\
    = 32\% \text{ aprox.}
    \end{aligned}
    So increase in sale were 32% in 1994, so get the answer we need to calculate the 132% of 107.
    \begin{aligned}
    \frac{132}{100}*107 \\
    = 141.24
    \end{aligned}

  • 3. The number of Heavy Vehicles sold in 1993 was approximately what percent of the total number of Vehicles sold in 1992 ?

    1. 6%
    2. 7%
    3. 8%
    4. 9%
    Answer :

    Option C

    Explanation:

    \begin{aligned}
    \text{Required percentage =}\\
    \left(\frac{81}{72+79+248+210+404}*100\right)\% \\
    = \left(\frac{81}{1013}*100\right)\% \\
    = 7.99\% = 8\%& approx\\
    \end{aligned}
