RS Aggarwal Quantitative Aptitude PDF Free Download: TABULATION

TABULATION

This section comprises of questions in which certain data regarding common disciplines as production over a period of a few years: imports, exports, incomes of employees in a factory, students applying for and qualifying a certain field of study etc. are given in the form of a table. The candidate is required to understand the given information and thereafter answer the given questions on the basis of comparative analysis of the data.

Thus, here the data collected by the investigator are arranged in a systematic form in a table called the tabular form. In order to avoid some heads again and again, tables are made consisting of horizontal lines called rows and vertical lines called columns with distinctive heads, known as captions. Units of measurements are given with the captions.

  1. The total sales of all the seven years is the maximum for which battery ?

    (a) 4AH            (b) 7AH           (c) 32AH           (d) 35AH         (e) 55AH

  1. What is the difference in the number of 35AH batteries sold in 1993 and 1997 ?

    (a) 24000         (b) 28000        (c) 35000           (d) 39000        (e) 42000

  1. The percentage of 4AH batteries sold to the total number of batteries sold was maximum in the year:

    (a) 1994       .   (b) 1995           (c) 1996            (d) 1997         (e) 1998

  1. In the case of which battery there was a continuous decrease in sales from 1992 to 1997 ?

    (8) 4AH            (b) 7 AH            (c) 32AH            (d) 35AH            (e) 55AH

  1. What was the approximate percentage increase in the sales of 55AH batteries in 1998 compared to that in 1992 ?

    (a) 28%            (b) 31%            (c) 33%                (d)34%            (e)37%

 

Sol. 1. (c) : The total sales (in thousands) of all the seven years for various batteries are:

For 4AH = 75 + 90 + 96 + 105 + 90 + 105 + 115 = 676

For  7AH = 144 + 126 + 114 + 90 + 75 + 60 + 85 = 694

For 32AH = 114 + 102 + 75 + 150 + 135 + 165 + 160 = 901

For 35 AH= 102 + 84 + 105 + 90 + 75 + 45 + 100 = 601

 For 55 AH= 108 + 126 + 135 + 75 + 90 + 120 + 145 = 799.

Clearly, sales are maximum in case of 32AH  batteries.

  1. (d\ : Required difference = [(84 – 45) x 1000] = 39000.
  2. (d) : The percentages of sales of 4AH batteries to the total sales in different years are:

           For 1992 =(75*100/543)%=13.81%

           For 1993=(90*100)/528%=17.05%

           For 1994=(96*100/465)%=19.35%

           For 1995=(105*100/495)%=20.59%

           For 1996=(96*100/465)%=19.35%

           For 1997=(105*100/495)%=21.21%

           For 1998=(115*100/605)%=19.01%

           Clearly, the percentage is maximum in 1997.

  1. (b) : From the table it is clear that the sales of 7AH batteries have been decreasing continuously from 1992 to 1997.
  2. (d) : Required Percentage =(145-108)/108)*100 %=34.26%=34%.

  1. What are the average marks obtained by all the seven students in Physics? (rounded off to two digits after decimal)

     (a) 77.26    (b) 89.14          (c) 91.37       (d) 96.11       (e) 103.21

  1. The number of students who obtained 60% and above marks in all the subjects is :

     (a) 1            (b) 2            (c) 3            (d) None        (e) None of these

  1. In which subject is the overall percentage the best?

     (a) History (b) Maths (c) Physics       (d) Chemistry  (e) Geography

Sol. 1.. (e) : Aggregate marks obtained by Sajal

= [(90% of 150) + (60% of 130) + (70% of 120) + (70% of 100) +

    (90% of 60)  + (70% of 40)] = 135 + 78 + 84 + 70 + 54 + 28 = 449.

  1. (c) : Aggregate marks obtained by Tarun .

= [(65% of 150) + (35% of 130) + (50% of 120) + (77% of 100) + (80% of 60) + (80% of 40)] = 97.5 + 45.5 + 60 + 77 + 48 + 32 = 360.

Total maximum marks (of all the six subjects)

= (150 + 130 + 120 + 100 + 60 + 40) = 600.

 

Overall percentage of Tarun = 360 x 100 % = 60%.

                                    .              600

  1. (b) : Average marks obtained in Physics by all the seven students

 

= 1 [(90% of 120) + (80% of 120) + (70% of 120) + (80% of 120)

   7        

         + (85% of 120) + (65% of 120) + (50% of 120)]

 

1 [(90 + 80 + 70 +80 + 85 + 65 + 50)% of 120]

    7         

 

=1 [520% of 120] = 89.14.

  7         

  1. (b) : From the table it is clear that Sajal and Rohit have 60% or more marks

in each of the six subjects.

  1. (b) : We shall find the overall percentage (for all the seven students) with respect to each subject.

The overall percentage for any subject is equal to the average of percentages obtained by all the seven students since the maximum marks for any subject is the same for all the students.

Therefore, overall percentage for:

(i) Maths = [1(90+100+90+80+80+70+65)]%

         7

= [1(575)]% = 82.14%.

       7

(ii) Chemistry = [1(50 + 80 + 60 + 65 + 65 + 75 + 35)]%

                               7

= [1(430)]% = 61.43%.                                            .

    7

(iii) Physics = [1(90 + 80 + 70 + 80 + 85 + 65 + 50)]%

                       7

                   =[1 (520)]% = 74.29%.

                      7

(iv) Geography = [1(60 + 40 + 70 + 80 + 95 + 85 + 77)]%

                            7       

                            = [1 (507)}_ = 72.43%.

                             7

(v) History = [1 (70 + 80 + 90+ 60 + 50 + 40 + 80)]%

                        7           

                     =1 [(470)]% = 67.14%.

                    7

(vi) Computer Science = [1/7 (80 + 70 + 70 + 60 + 90 + 60 + 80)]%

 

= [1 (510)]% = 72.86%.

     7   

Clearly; this. percentage is highest for Maths.

  (a) 3        (b) 4           (c) 5           (d) 6           (e) 7

 

  1. The percentage of the number of students getting at least 60% marks in Chemistry over those getting at least 40% marks in aggregate, is approximately:

  (a) 21%       (b) 27%        (c) 29%      (d) 31%    (e) 34%

  1. If it is known that at least 23 students were eligible for a Symposium on Chemistry the minimum qualifying marks in Chemistry for eligibility to Symposium would lie in the range:

       (a) 40-50 (b) 30-40     (c) 20-30     (d) Below 20

 

Sol. 1. (d) : We have 40% of 50 =(40 x 50)= 20.

                                                       100

           :. Required number = Number of students scoring less than 20 marks

                                             in   aggregate

                                            = 100 – number of students scoring 20 and above

                                              marks in aggregate = 100 – 73 = 27.

  1. (b) : We have 60% of 50 =(60 x 50) = 30.

                                                   100

:. Required number = Number of students scoring 30 and above mark

                                   in Physics = 32.                            .

  1. (d) : Required difference = (Number of students scoring 30 and above in mark in Chemistry) (Number of students scoring 30 and

          .                 above marks in aggregate) = 27 – 21 = 6.

  1. (c) : Number of students getting at least 60% marks in Chemistry

= Number of students getting 30 and above marks in Chemistry = 21. Number of students getting at least 40% marks in aggregate

= Number of students getting 20 and above marks in aggregate = 73.

:. Required Percentage = (21x 100)% = 28.77% ≈29%.

                                                  73

  1. (c) : Since 66 students get 20 and above marks in Chemistry and out of these 21 students get 30 and above marks, therefore to select top 35 students in Chemistry, the qualifying marks should lie in the range 20-30.
