Introduction to Data Interpretation problems
- 1. What was the difference in the production of C type cars between 1996 and 1997?
Options- A. 5000
- B. 7500
- C. 10000
- D. 2500 Discuss
Correct Answer: 5000
Explanation:
Production of C type cars in 1996 = (70 ? 40)% of 450000
Production of C type cars in 1996 = 30% of 450000 = 135000
Production of C type cars in 1997 = (65 ? 40)% of 520000
Production of C type cars in 1997 = 25% of 520000 = 130000
? Required difference = 5000.
- 2. If 85% of E type cars produced during 1996 and 1997 are being sold by the company, then how many E type cars are left unsold by the company?
Options- A. 142800
- B. 21825
- C. 29100
- D. 25200 Discuss
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Production of E type cars in 1996 = (100 ? 80)% of 450000
Production of E type cars in 1996 = 20% of 450000 = 90000
And in 1997 = 10% of 520000 = 52000
? Total production = 90000 + 52000 = 142000.
? Required number of cars = 15% of 142000 = 21300

Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Clearly, by visual inspection D is the desired option.
- 5. If the percentage production of B type cars in 1997 was the same as that of 1996, what would have been the number of cars produced in 1997?
Options- A. 112500
- B. 120000
- C. 130000
- D. Data inadequate Discuss
Correct Answer: 130000
Explanation:
Percentage production of B type cars in 1997 = that in 1996 (given)
= (40 ? 15) 25% of 520000 = 130000.

Explanation:
- 9. In which year was the ratio of sales to capital the lowest?
Options- A. 1998
- B. 1997
- C. 1996
- D. 1995 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1997
Explanation:
Ratio of sales to capital = Sales in a year / Capital in a year
Solve the question with the help of option one by one.
Option(A)
Ratio of sales to capital in 1998 = Sales in 1998 / Capital in 1998
Ratio of sales to capital in 1998 = 800 / 200 = 4
Similarly Option(B)
Ratio of sales to capital in 1997 = Sales in 1997 / Capital in 1997
Ratio of sales to capital in 1997 = 400 / 200 = 2
Similarly Option(C)
Ratio of sales to capital in 1996 = Sales in 1996 / Capital in 1996
Ratio of sales to capital in 1996 = 300 / 100 = 3
Similarly Option(D)
Ratio of sales to capital in 1995 = Sales in 1995 / Capital in 1995
Ratio of sales to capital in 1995 = 500 / 100 = 5
As we see in all option , The ratio value is lowest for the year 1997. So answer will be 1997.
- 10. In which year was the ratio of Profit to capital the highest?
Options- A. 1998
- B. 1995
- C. 1996
- D. 1997 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1995
Explanation:
As we know the formula,
Profit = Sales - Expenses
Solve option one by one.
Option (A) in year 1998
Profit in year 1998 = Sales in 1998 - Expenses in 1998
Profit in year 1998 = 800 - 700 = 100
Capital in year 1998 = 200 (As per given graph)
Ratio of profit to capital in year = 100 / 200 = 0.5
Similarly Option (B) in year 1995
Profit in year 1995 = Sales in 1995 - Expenses in 1995
Profit in year 1995 = 500 - 400 = 100
Capital in year 1995 = 100 (As per given graph)
Ratio of profit to capital in year = 100 / 100 = 1
Similarly Option (C) in year 1996
Loss in year 1996 = Sales in 1996 - Expenses in 1996
Loss in year 1996 = 500 - 400 = 100
Profit in year 1996 = 500 - 400 = - 100
Capital in year 1996 = 100 (As per given graph)
Ratio of profit to capital in year = - 100 / 100 = -1
Similarly Option (D) in year 1997
Loss in year 1997 = Sales in 1997 - Expenses in 1997
Loss in year 1997 = 600 - 400 = 200
Profit in year 1997 = 600 - 400 = - 200
Capital in year 1997 = 200 (As per given graph)
Ratio of profit to capital in year 1997 = Profit / Capital
Ratio of profit to capital in year 1997 = - 200 / 200 = -1
As we can see the year 1995 has the highest ratio for Profit to capital.
