  1. 39 : 38
  2. 34 : 33
  3. 29 : 28
  4. 32 : 31
  5. None of these

2. What is the average sales of all the four plants in 2009?

  3. `33,50,000
  4. `32,50,000
  5. None of these

3. What is the total profit of plant P2 during the period 2008-2010?

  1. `26,70,00
  2. `25,60,000
  3. `26,70,000
  4. `27,70,000
  5. None of these

4. The profit of plant P1 is approximately what percentage of the sales of plant P4 in 2008?

  1. 27.78
  2. 23.87
  3. 29.68
  4. 25.78
  5. 37.58

5. Which plant(s) has/have the highest average sales during the period 2008-2010?

  1. P1
  2. P2
  3. P3
  4. P4
  5. P2 and P4

Study the given information carefully and answer the questions that follow. A bag contains 4 balls, 5 cubes and 3 tetrahedrons

6. Three objects are drawn randomly one by one, such that the object drawn is replaced back in the bag. What is the probability that all the objects are of the same shape?

  1. 1/8
  2. 1/27
  3. 226/123
  4. 206/123
  5. None of these

7. If four objects are drawn at random, what is the probability that at least one of them is a tetrahedron?

  1. 14/110
  2. 41/ 110
  3. 41/55
  4. 14/55
  5. None of these

8. If two objects are drawn at random, what is the probability that both of them are of different shapes?

  1. 19/66
  2. 1/4
  3. 47/66
  4. 2/3
  5. None of these

9. If two objects are picked at random, what is the probability that either both are balls or both are cubes?

  1. 3/11
  2. 4/33
  3. 8/33
  4. 13/66
  5. None of these

10.If four objects are picked at random, what is the probability that one is ball, two are cubes and one is tetrahedron?

  1. 8/33
  2. 1/3
  3. 5/11
  4. 3/11
  5. None of these

Explanations

1. 2 Required ratio

2. 4 Average sales of plants P1, P2, P3 and P4 in 2009

3. 3 Required profit = [(24 – 14.5) + (36 – 25.6) + (28 – 21.2)] × 100000 = `26,70,000.

4. 1 Required profit percentage

5. 5 Average sales of:

Hence, plants P2 and P4 have highest average sales.
