Direction (Q.Nos. 11 - 15)

The following line graph gives the percentage of the number of candidates who qualified an examination out of the total number of candidates who appeared for the examination over a period of seven years from 1994 to 2000.

Percentage of Candidates Qualified to Appeared in an Examination Over the Years

11.
The difference between the percentage of candidates qualified to appeared was maximum in which of the following pairs of years?
1994 and 1995
1997 and 1998
1998 and 1999
1999 and 2000
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

The differences between the percentages of candidates qualified to appeared for the give pairs of years are:

For 1994 and 1995 = 50 - 30 = 20.

For 1998 and 1999 = 80 - 80 = 0.

For 1994 and 1997 = 50 - 30 = 20.

For 1997 and 1998 = 80 - 50 = 30.

For 1999 and 2000 = 80 - 60 = 20.

Thus, the maximum difference is between the years 1997 and 1998.


12.
In which pair of years was the number of candidates qualified, the same?
1995 and 1997
1995 and 2000
1998 and 1999
Data inadequate
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

The graph gives the data for the percentage of candidates qualified to appeared and unless the absolute values of number of candidates qualified or candidates appeared is know we cannot compare the absolute values for any two years.

Hence, the data is inadequate to solve this question.


13.
If the number of candidates qualified in 1998 was 21200, what was the number of candidates appeared in 1998?
32000
28500
26500
25000
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

The number of candidates appeared in 1998 be x.

Then, 80% of x = 21200   =>   x = 21200 x 100 = 26500 (required number).
80


14.
If the total number of candidates appeared in 1996 and 1997 together was 47400, then the total number of candidates qualified in these two years together was?
34700
32100
31500
Data inadequate
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

The total number of candidates qualified in 1996 and 1997 together, cannot be determined until we know at least, the number of candidates appeared in any one of the two years 1996 or 1997 or the percentage of candidates qualified to appeared in 1996 and 1997 together.

Hence, the data is inadequate.


15.
The total number of candidates qualified in 1999 and 2000 together was 33500 and the number of candidates appeared in 1999 was 26500. What was the number of candidates in 2000?
24500
22000
20500
19000
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

The number of candidates qualified in 1999 = (80% of 26500) = 21200.

Therefore Number of candidates qualified in 2000 = (33500 - 21200) = 12300.

Let the number of candidates appeared in 2000 be x.

Then, 60% of x = 12300   =>   x = ( 12300 x 100 ) = 20500.
60


Direction (Q.Nos. 16 - 20)

16.
How many students are there in Class IX in the school?
336
189
335
430
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since the classification of the students on the basis of their results and sections form independent groups, so the total number of students in the class:

= (28 + 23 + 17 + 27 + 14 + 12 + 8 + 13 + 6 + 17 + 9 + 15 + 64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

= 430.


17.
Which section has the minimum failure rate in half yearly examination?
A section
B section
C section
D section
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of failures in half-yearly exams in a section

= [ (Number of students failed in both exams)

        + (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in Annual exams)

   ] in that section

Therefore Failure rate in half-yearly exams in Section A

    = [ Number of students of Section A failed in half-yearly x 100 ] %
Total number of students in Section A

    = [ (28 + 14) x 100 ] %
(28 + 14 + 6 + 64)

    = [ 42 x 100 ] %
112

    = 37.5%.

Similarly, failure rate in half-yearly exams in:

Section B [ (23 + 12) x 100 ] % = [ 35 x 100 ] % = 32.71%.
(23 + 12 + 17 + 55) 107

Section C [ (17 + 8) x 100 ] % = [ 25 x 100 ] % = 31.25%.
(17 + 8 + 9 + 46) 80

Section D [ (27 + 13) x 100 ] % = [ 40 x 100 ] % = 30.53%.
(27 + 13 + 15 + 76) 131

Clearly, the failure rate is minimum for Section D.


18.
Which section has the maximum success rate in annual examination?
A Section
B Section
C Section
D Section
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of students passed in annual exams in a section

= [ (No. of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams)

        + (No. of students passed in both exams)

   ] in that section

Therefore Success rate in annual exams in Section A

    = [ No. of students of Section A passed in annual exams x 100 ] %
Total number of students in Section A

    = [ (14 + 64) x 100 ] %
(28 + 14 + 6 + 64)

    = [ 78 x 100 ] %
112

    = 69.64%.

Similarly, success rate in annual exams in:

Section B [ (12 + 55) x 100 ] % = [ 67 x 100 ] % = 62.62%.
(23 + 12 + 17 + 55) 107

Section C [ (8 + 46) x 100 ] % = [ 54 x 100 ] % = 67.5%.
(17 + 8 + 9 + 46) 80

Section D [ (13 + 76) x 100 ] % = [ 89 x 100 ] % = 67.94%.
(27 + 13 + 15 + 76) 131

Clearly, the success rate in annual examination is maximum for Section A.


19.
Which section has the maximum pass percentage in at least one of the two examinations?
A Section
B Section
C Section
D Section
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Pass percentages in at least one of the two examinations for different sections are:

For Section A [ (14 + 6 + 64) x 100 ] % = [ 84 x 100 ] % = 75%.
(28 + 14 + 6 + 64) 112

For Section B [ (12 + 17 + 55) x 100 ] % = [ 84 x 100 ] % = 78.5%.
(23 + 12 + 17 + 55) 107

For Section C [ (8 + 9 + 46) x 100 ] % = [ 63 x 100 ] % = 78.75%.
(17 + 8 + 9 + 46) 80

For Section D [ (13 + 15 + 76) x 100 ] % = [ 104 x 100 ] % = 79.39%.
(27 + 13 + 15 + 76) 131

Clearly, the pass percentage is maximum for Section D.


20.
If the number of students passing an examination be considered a criteria for comparision of difficulty level of two examinations, which of the following statements is true in this context?
Half yearly examinations were more difficult.
Annual examinations were more difficult.
Both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level.
The two examinations cannot be compared for difficulty level.
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Number of students who passed half-yearly exams in the school

  = (Number of students passed in half-yearly but failed in annual exams)

      + (Number of students passed in both exams)

  = (6 + 17 + 9 + 15) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

  = 288.

Also, Number of students who passed annual exams in the school

  = (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams)

      + (Number of students passed in both exams)

  = (14 + 12 + 8 + 13) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

  = 288.

Since, the number of students passed in half-yearly = the number of students passed in annual exams. Therefore, it can be inferred that both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level.

Thus Statements (a), (b) and (d) are false and Statement (c) is true.
