1. In which of the following years was the number of light commercial vehicles sold approximately 25% of the number of 2-wheelers sold?
- 1991
- 1992
- 1993
- 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?
- 141
- 156
- 176
- 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 ?
- 6%
- 7%
- 8%

\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} -
