Correct Answer: Option (C) — Total number number of photos and videos clicked by all 5 persons = Sum of photos and videos clicked by all

Given: Direction: The following line graph shows the number of photos and videos clicked by 5 persons in 2019. Based on the given line graph answer the following question given below: 124 146 134 136 138 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

• Calculations:
• Total number number of photos and videos clicked by all 5 persons = Sum of photos and videos clicked by all
• individually
• ⇒ (P + Q + R + S + T)
• ⇒ (24 + 22 + 32 + 36 + 20)
• ⇒ 134
• ∴ The number number of photos and videos clicked by all 5 persons is 134.

Hence, Option (C) is the correct choice.

Correct Answer: Option (E) — Calculations:

Given: Direction: The following line graph shows the number of photos and videos clicked by 5 persons in 2019. Based on the given line graph answer the following question given below: 18 16 20 12 14 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

• R clicked the number of photos and videos in the ratio of 9 : 7
• Formula used:
• Number of videos clicked = Total number of photos and videos clicked - Number of photos clicked
• Calculations:
• Let the number of photos and videos clicked by R be 9x and 7x respectively.
• From the given line graph,
• ⇒ Total number of photos and videos clicked by R = 32
• ⇒ Number of photos clicked + Number of videos clicked = 32
• ⇒ 9x + 7x = 32
• ⇒ x = 2
• ⇒ 9x = 18
• So,
• Number of videos clicked = Total number of photos and videos clicked - Number of photos clicked
• ⇒ 32 - 18
• ⇒ 14
• ∴ The number of videos clicked by R is 14.

Hence, Option (E) is the correct choice.

Correct Answer: Option (E) — Percentage of photos and videos clicked by S more than T = (Difference of number of photos and videos clicked

Given: 40% more 60% more 60% less 40% less 80% more 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

• Direction: The following line graph shows the number of photos and videos clicked by 5 persons in 2019. Based
• on the given line graph answer the following question given below:
• Formula used:
• Percentage of photos and videos clicked by S more than T = (Difference of number of photos and videos clicked
• by S and T)/(Number of photos and videos clicked by T) × 100
• Calculations:
• Number of photos and videos clicked by S = 36
• Number of photos and videos clicked by T = 20
• Difference of number of photos and videos clicked by S and T = 16
• Now,
• Percentage of photos and videos clicked by S more than T = (16/20) × 100
• ⇒ 80
• ∴ The percentage of photos and videos clicked by S more than T is 80%.

Hence, Option (E) is the correct choice.

Correct Answer: Option (D) — Total number of photos and videos clicked by Q and R = (22 + 32)

• Calculation:
• Total number of photos and videos clicked by P = 24
• Total number of photos and videos clicked by S = 36
• Total number of photos and videos clicked by P and S = (24 + 36)
• ⇒ 60
• 11 : 5
• 7 : 9
• 7 : 5
• 10 : 9
• 8 : 5
• 1.
• 2.
• 3.
• 4.
• 5.

• Total number of photos and videos clicked by Q = 22
• Total number of photos and videos clicked by R = 32
• Total number of photos and videos clicked by Q and R = (22 + 32)
• ⇒ 54
• Required ratio = 60 : 54
• ⇒ 10 : 9
• ∴ The required ratio is 10 : 9

Hence, Option (D) is the correct choice.

Correct Answer: Option (A) — 1 : 1

• Calculation:
• Number of photos clicked by R in 2019 = 32
• Number of photos clicked by R in 2020 = (32 + 12) = 44
• Number of photos clicked by S in 2019 = 36
• Number of photos clicked by S in 2020 = (36 + 8) = 44
• Required ratio = 44 : 44
• ⇒ 1 : 1
• ∴ The required ratio is 1 : 1
• 1 : 1
• 7 : 9
• 2 : 3
• 3 : 2
• 5 : 6
• 1.
• 2.
• 3.
• 4.
• 5.

Hence, Option (A) is the correct choice.

Correct Answer: Option (C) — Only one person purchase item between H and G, who purchases just after D. From this line we have 3 cases: Case 1: When H purchase after G. Case 1 A D G H Case 1a: When H purchase before G. Case 1a A B A D E F 1. 2.

Eight persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. 1. Two persons purchase items between A and D. 2. From this sentence we have two cases. Case 1: When A purchase before D.

Case 1a A H D G F B Case 2: In this case F will purchase immediately after G. Case 2

H D G F A B 6. The number of people who purchase before C and after F are the same. From this line our Case 1a and Case 2 is eliminated, as In Case 1a, there are two persons who purchases after F but there is only one person or six persons who purchases before C, so this case is not possible. In Case 2, there are two persons who purchases after F but there is no person or only one person who purchases before C, so this case is also not possible. In Case 1, C will purchase just before D then there will be equal number of people who bought before C and bought after F will become same. Now, only one person is left i.e. E, E bought just after A. Case 1 A E C D G F H B The final ordering is: A E C D G F H B Hence, D purchases just after C.

Correct Answer: Option (B) — 2001

(1) The difference between the age of A and B is twice the age of B which implies that age of A is thrice of B’s age, therefore we have two cases here. A – B = 2*B A = 3*B (2) Difference between the age of B and D is 4 years. Year 1951 1955 1963 1976 1985 1997 Age 69 65 57 44 35 23 Case I A Case II A B D C B F G Either A or C 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Hence, Option (B) is the correct choice.

Correct Answer: Option (C) — age, therefore we have two cases here.

31 years 53 years 41 years 28 years 7 years 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

(1) The difference between the age of A and B is twice the age of B which implies that age of A is thrice of B’s age, therefore we have two cases here. A – B = 2*B A = 3*B (2) Difference between the age of B and D is 4 years.
