Answers:
1. (4)     2. (2)     3. (2)    4. (5)   5. (2)

6. (5)     7. (4)     8. (4)    9. (1)   10 (3)

Solutions (6-10)

6.     (5)  Total expenditure of A = 270

            Average expenditure = 270 / 6 = 45

           

        Total expenditure of B = 210

             Average expenditure = 210 / 6 = 35

             Difference = 45 – 35 = 10

7.     (4)  In 2001, profit =  (60 x 75) / 100 = 45

             Income = 60 + 45 = 105 lakhs

8. (4) In 2006 =  (25x170) / 100 = 42.5 lakh

       

            Profit = 42.5 – 25 lakh = Rs 17.5 lakhs

       

        In 2004 Profit is 18 lakh

9.     (1)   In 2004 and 2006

            In 2004, income of A = 50 lakhs

            In 2004, income of B = 66 lakhs

            Req percentage = (66 – 50) / 50 X 100 = 32%

10.   (3) In 2004, income of B = 66 lakhs

            In 2005, income of A = 54 lakhs

       

          Req Ratio: 66 : 54 = 11 : 9
