Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

1) Answer: B

From statement I,

Girls from A in 2015=2/5 * 250=100

Boys from A in 2015=3/5 * 250=150

So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From statement II,

Girls from A in 2014=60/100 * 400=240

Boys from A in 2014=400 – 240=160

Girls from A in 2015=40/100 * 250=100

Boys from A in 2015=250 – 100=150

Girls from A in 2016=50/100 * 300=150

Boys from A in 2016=300 – 150=150

Total number of students from A=400 + 250 + 300=950

Boys from A=150 + 150 + 160=460

Difference=950 – 460=490

So, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the answer.

2) Answer: A

From option (A)

Girls from A in 2014=400 * ¾ =300

Girls from B in 2014=1/3 * 300=100

Number of girls in 2014=(400 + 300 + 200) * 60/100=540

Number of girls from C in 2014=540 – 300 – 100=140

Number of boys from C in 2014=200 – 140=60

Required ratio=60:140=3: 7

This satisfied the given condition.

From option (B)

Number of boys from B in 2015 is not given

This not satisfied.

From option (C)

Number of girls from C in 2015=300 * 50/100=150

we cannot find the answer of the question.

This not satisfied.

From option (D)

Number of students left from C in 2014=200 * 40/100=80

Number of girls left from C in 2014=80 * 80/100=64

This not satisfied the given condition.

3) Answer: D

From statement I,

Number of girls from B in 2017=4/7 * 280=160

Number of boys from B in 2017=3/7 * 280=120

So, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From statement II,

60% of the total number of students from B in 2014 to 2017 is boys.

So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From I and II,

Total number of students from B in 2014 to 2017=300 + 100 + 350 + 280=1030

Number of boys from B in 2014 to 2017=1030 * 60/100=618

Number of boys from B in 2014 to 2016=618 – 120=498

Number of girls from B in 2014 to 2016=(300 + 100 + 350) – 498=252

Required percentage=252/750 * 100=33.6%

Both the statements are necessary to answer the question.

4) Answer: D

Number of boys from A in 2016=7/15 * 300=140

Number of girls from A in 2016=8/15 * 300=160

Number of boys from B in 2016=4/7 * 350=200

Number of girls from B in 2016=3/7 * 350=150

Number of girls from C in 2016=3/5 * 150=90

Number of boys from C in 2016=2/5 * 150=60

Number of boys in 2016=140 + 200 + 60=400

Number of boys in 2017=1/2 * 400=200

Number of girls in 2017=360 – 200=160

Required ratio boys to girls in 2017=200 : 160=5:4

5) Answer: A

Number of girls from C in 2015=300 – 180=120

Number of girls from C in 2016=150 – 80=70

Total number of girls from C=(200 + 300 + 150) * 40/100=260

Number of girls from C in 2014=260 – 120 – 70=70

Required ratio=70:120:70

=7:12:7
