Correct Answers:
1 2 3 4 5
C C D B D
Explanations:
1. The difference between graduates and undergraduates employed in the bank R = 600 – 300 = 300
The total number of people employed in the bank R = 300 + 600 + 1500 = 2400
300 × 100 100
The reqd. % = = = 12.5%
2400 8
Hence, option C is correct.
2. The sum of the number of post graduates employed in all the banks together = 1200 + 750 + 1500 +
1800 = 5250
5250
The reqd. average = = 1312.5
4
Hence, option C is correct.
3. The number of under graduates employed in all the banks together = 800 + 950 + 300 + 2500 = 4550
The number of graduates employed in all the banks together = 1400 + 1100 + 600 + 750 = 3850
The required difference = 4550 – 3850 = 700
Hence, option D is correct.
4. If the number of post graduates employed, increased by 10% in each bank then the sum will also
increase by 10%
The sum of the number of post graduates employed in all the banks together = 1200 + 750 + 1500 +
1800 = 5250
The new sum after it was increased by 10% in each bank = (100 + 10)% of 5250 = 110% of 5250
5250
= 110 × = 11 × 525 = 5775
100
Similarly, if the number of under graduates employed, increased by 20% in each bank then the sum will
also increase by 20%
The number of under graduates employed in all the banks together = 800 + 950 + 300 + 2500 = 4550
The new sum after it was increased by 10% in each bank = (100 + 20)% of 4550 = 120% of 4550
4550
= 120 × = 12 × 455 = 5460
100
the sum of the number of post graduates and under graduates of all the banks together after
increasing its number = 5775 + 5460 = 11235
the number of graduates employed in all the banks together = 1400 + 1100 + 600 + 750 = 3850
The required difference = 11235 – 3850 = 7385
Hence, option B is correct.
5. In the bank P, the number of post graduates = 1200
The number of graduates = 1400
The number of under graduates = 800
The new number of employees in that bank = 115% of 1200 + 112% of 1400 + 133% of 800 = 1380 +
1568 + 1064 = 4012
The required increase = 4012 – (1200 + 1400 + 800) = 612
Hence, option D is correct.
