128
112
96
88
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Required difference

    = (272 + 240 + 236 + 256 + 288) - (200 + 224 + 248 + 272 + 260)

    = 88.

2.
What was the total number of Peons working in the Company in the year 1999?
1312
1192
1088
968
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of Peons working in the Company in 1999

    = (820 + 184 + 152 + 196 + 224) - (96 + 88 + 80 + 120)

    = 1192.

3.
For which of the following categories the percentage increase in the number of employees working in the Company from 1995 to 2000 was the maximum?
Managers
Technicians
Operators
Accountants
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Number of Managers working in the Company:

In 1995 = 760.
In 2000 = (760 + 280 + 179 + 148 + 160 + 193) - (120 + 92 + 88 + 72 + 96)
= 1252.

Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Managers

    = [ (1252 - 760) x 100 ] % = 64.74%.
760

Number of Technicians working in the Company:

In 1995 = 1200.
In 2000 = (1200 + 272 + 240 + 236 + 256 + 288) -

   (120 + 128 + 96 + 100 + 112)
= 1936.

Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Technicians

    = [ (1936 - 1200) x 100 ] % = 61.33%.
1200

Number of Operators working in the Company:

In 1995 = 880.
In 2000 = (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248) -

    (104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144)
= 1444.

Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Operators

    = [ (1444 - 880) x 100 ] % = 64.09%.
880

Number of Accountants working in the Company:

In 1995 = 1160.
In 2000 = (1160 + 200 + 224 + 248 + 272 + 260) -

    (100 + 104 + 96 + 88 + 92)
= 1884.

Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Accountants

    = [ (1884 - 1160) x 100 ] % = 62.41%.
1160

Number of Peons working in the Company:

In 1995 = 820.
In 2000 = (820 + 184 + 152 + 196 + 224 + 200) -

    (96 + 88 + 80 + 120 + 104)
= 1288.

Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Peons

    = [ (1288 - 820) x 100 ] % = 57.07%.
820

Clearly, the percentage increase is maximum in case of Managers.

4.
What is the pooled average of the total number of employees of all categories in the year 1997?
1325
1195
1265
1235
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of employees of various categories working in the Company in 1997 are:

Managers = (760 + 280 + 179) - (120 + 92) = 1007.
Technicians = (1200 + 272 + 240) - (120 + 128) = 1464.
Operators = (880 + 256 + 240) - (104 + 120) = 1152.
Accountants = (1160 + 200 + 224) - (100 + 104) = 1380.
Peons = (820 + 184 + 152) - (96 + 88) = 972.

Therefore Pooled average of all the five categories of employees working in the Company in 1997

    = 1 x (1007 + 1464 + 1152 + 1380 + 972)
5

    = 1 x (5975)
5

    = 1195.

5.
During the period between 1995 and 2000, the total number of Operators who left the Company is what percent of total number of Operators who joined the Company?
19%
21%
27%
29%
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of Operators who left the Company during 1995 - 2000

    = (104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144)

    = 580.

Total number of Operators who joined the Company during 1995 - 2000

    = (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248)

    = 2024.

Therefore Required Percentage = ( 580 x 100 ) % = 28.66% ~= 29%.
2024
