Answers With Explanations:

1. 2; Let Manav invest `x in Company B. Therefore, in Company A his investment would be

`(40000 x).
13.5% of x + 13% of (40000 x) = 5299

= `19800

Therefore, Manavs investment in Company B is `19800.

2. 5; Priyas amount in 2010 becomes

50000

121.5

= 60750

Priyas amount in 2010 (when she invests `60750 in Company B)=

3. 5; Total dividend = 37000

= 37000

60750

4. 1; Reqd ratio =

5. 4; Shruti would have gained (22 20.5%) = 1.5% of investments. Therefore, she would have
received 75000

1.5
100

= `1125

Hence, sukriti would have got `1125 more.

6. 1; Number of credit holders of SBI from WB = 35 lakh

And the number of card holders of PNB from WB = 27.5 lakh
Reqd % =

35 27.5
100
35

= 21.43%

7. 3; Total number of credit card holders of BOB = (35 + 30 + 30 + 48 + 37.5 + 33 + 28 + 55) =

296.5 lakh
Now, 14% of 296.5 = 41.51 lakh
By observing the graph, we find that only Rajasthan and MP have the number of credit card
holders of BOB either greater than or equal to 41.51 lakh.
So, there are two states.
8. 2; Total number of credit card holders of PNB, SBI and BOB in the given eight states are 225,
262.5 and 296.5 lakh.
Hence, the average number of credit card holders in 8 states from the given three banks
=

(225 262.5 296.5) 784

8

= 98 lakh

Suppose the average number of credit card holders in remaining (31 8) = 23 states is x.
Then,

9. 5; Ratio of males to females in these states

Now, the number of PNB card holders = 5% of the total population.

Total PNB card holders = 225 lakh. Which is 5% of the total population.
Total population =
Number of males =

And number of females =

6% of total males have PNB credit cards. So the number of males = 30

Number of females who have PNB credit cards = 15

So, remaining number of females who do not have PNB credit cards = 15 0.45 = 14.55
