(A) 2001-02 (B) 2002-03 (C) 2003-04 (D) None
Q.126 If motorcycle, scooter and 3 wheeler markets grew by 20, 0 and 40% respectively in 2004-05
compared to 2003-04 uniformly for all players, what was the approximate ratio of total sales of Hero
Honda to Bajaj in 2004-05? (Assume that Hero Honda does not manufacture scooters and three
wheelers)
(A) 2:1 (B) 1.5: one (C) 1:1 (D) 1: 1.5
Solutions for 121 to 126:
121. It can be clearly observed that the minimum percentage growth rate in motor cycle sales from 2001-02
to 2003-04 is experienced by Hero Honda. Hence the accurate choice is (D).
122. Percentage growth compared to the previous year in total ales for motorcycles, can not be determined
for year 2000-01 as no data is provided about the identical for year 1999-00. By observation, it can be stated
that the needed percentage growth could be maximum in year 2001-02 or 2002-03.
For year 2001-02 it is, 36.36%
5500
7500 - 5500 =
For year 2002-03 it is, 33.33%
7500
10000 - 7500 =
Hence the accurate choice is (B).
123. From year 2001-02 to 2002-03,
Growth of sales of motorcycles for Hero Honda is approximately,
4850 - 4250 = 600
Growth of sales of motorcycles for Bajaj is approximately,
2608 - 1893 » 700
The needed ratio is,
6:7
Hence the accurate choice is (B).
124. Bajaj experienced maximum rise in the sales of motorcycles for year 2001-02 which is 48%.
Hence for that year share of 3 wheelers in the 3 products manufactured by Bajaj is (975 / 3905)
´ 100 » 25% .
Hence the accurate choice is (C).
125. For Bajaj the motorcycle sales overtook the combined sales of scooters and 3 wheelers in 2002-
03. Hence the accurate choice is (B).
126. Sales of Bajaj for the year 2004-05 would be = (3185 ´ 1.2) + 527 + (1443 ´ 1.4) = 6369
Sales of Hero Honda for the year 2004-05 would be = (5800 ´ 1.2) = 6960
Therefore approximate ratio of total sales of Hero Honda to Bajaj will be = 1:1
Hence the accurate choice is (C).

(A) 130 (B) 140 (C) 150 (D) 160
Q.132 What was the ratio of exports to imports in merchandize trade for India in 2004, if exports were about
US $ 60 billion, provided that India’s GNP was about Rs. 28,00,000 crore? (Assume US 1$ = Rs. 50)
(A) 1:2 (B) 3:4 (C) 5:6 (D) 1:1
Q.133 What was the approximate difference in dollar value of high-tech exports ranging from China and India in
2004, if their exports of merchandize products were US $ 500 billion and US $ 60 billion respectively?
(A) 130 (B) 137 (C) 140 (D) 145
Q.134 Which of the subsequent is TRUE?
(A) U.S.A. has consistently shown decline in the merchandise trade as percentage of GNP
(B) Japan has consistently shown growth in GNP per capita
(C) Germany has consistently shown growth in high-tech exports as percentage of
merchandise exports
(D) China has consistently shown growth in high-tech exports as % of merchandise trade and GNP per
capita
Solutions for 127 to 134:
127. By simple observation in the year 2003 all countries show growth in GNP per capita over previous
year. Hence accurate choice is (C).
128. Countries China, India and USA have shown consistent growth in GNP per capita during 2000 to
2004. Hence accurate choice is (D).
129. China achieved maximum % jump in GNP per capita in the year 2004, Hence its % increase in
GNP per capita from 2000 to 2004 is,
930
1500 - 930 ´ 100 = 61.3%
Hence accurate choice is (C).
130. The approximate ratio in 2004, of total GNP for India and Japan (with least avg. merchandise
trade as percentage of GNP as 19) is,
6
1
37050 1
620 10 =
´
´
Hence the accurate choice is (C)
131. India's GNP in 2004 is Rs. 28,00,000 Crore
So merchandise trade in Rs = 28,00,000 ´
100
25 crore
= Rs. 7,00,000 crore
So in 2004, India's merchandise trade in US $ billion is,
= 9
6
US$50 10
Rs.7,00,000 10
´
´ = US $ 140 billion.
Hence the accurate choice is (B)
132. In the previous ques. for the identical data, we have computed India's total merchandise trade in US
$ billion which is 140. The exports in Us $ billion were 60 hence imports must be (140 - 60) = US $
80 billion.
So the ratio of exports to imports is 60:80 = 3:4.
Hence the accurate choice is (B)
133. In 2004,
China's merchandise products were US $ 500 billion.
From line graph,
High-tech exports were 30% of the merchandise product
i.e. 500 150
100
30 ´ = (in US $ billion)
India's merchandise products were US $ 60 billion.
From line graph,
High-tech exports were 5% of the merchandise product
i.e. 60 3
100
5 ´ = (in US $ billion)
The needed difference is,
150 - three = 147 (in US $ billion)
So the approximate ans is choice (D) i.e. 145.
134. By simple observation only statement (D) is accurate. Hence accurate choice is (D).
