Group-1 Mains Paper 5


Study the following graph and answer the questions given below:
No. of Students (in thousands) who opted for three different Specializations during the given Five Years in a University

Note :
 X- axis  - Years
Y- axis – Number of students ( in thousands)

The total number of students who opted for Mathematics in the years 2005 and 2008 together are approximately what percent of the total number of students who opted for all three subjects in the same years?

Solution:
Number of students who opted for Mathematics in the year 2005 = 15000

Number of students who opted for Mathematics in the year 2008 = 30000

Total number of students in all subjects in 2005 = 5000 + 35000 +15000
                                                                             = 55000

Total number of students in all subjects in 2008 = 25000 + 30000 +30000
                                                                             = 85000

Therefore required percentage =  (15000+ 30000)   x 100%
                                                          ( 55000+85000)

                                                    =     45000  x  100 %
                                                          140000

                                        = 32.14%.                   


Out of the total number of students who opted for the given three subjects, in the year 2009, 38% were girls. How  many boys opted for Mathematics in the same year?

Solution:

Total number of students in 2009 = 20000 + 20000 + 5000
                                                          = 45000
Therefore total number of girls = 38 % of 45000

                                                = 45000 x 38
                                                          100
                                                = 17100

 Total number of boys  = 45000 -17100
                                       = 27900


Therefore total number of boys who opted for Mathematics in 2009
                            
                                      = 27900 x 5000
                                                45000

                                      = 3100

What is the respective ratio between the number of students who opted for English in the years 2006 and 2008 together and the number of students who opted for Hindi in the same year 2005 and 2009 together?

Solution:

Number of students who opted for English in the year 2006 = 25000

Number of students who opted for English in the year 2008 = 30000

Therefore the total number of students who for English in 2006 and 2008
Are 25000+ 30000 = 55000


Number of students who opted for Hindi in the year 2005 = 5000

Number of students who opted for Hindi in the year 2009 = 20000

Therefore the total number of students who for Hindi in 2005 and 2009
Are 5000+ 20000 = 25000.

Therefore Required ratio = 55000 : 25000
                                   
                                           = 11: 5


If the total number of students in the University in the year 2007 was 4,55,030, then, the total number of students who opted for the given three subjects were approximately what percent of the total students?

Solution:

Given that the total number of students in the University in the year 2007 were 4,55,030.

From the graph the who opted the three subjects are  15000+ 10000 +15000
                                                                                                =   40000


Therefore the required percentage  =   40000    x 100 %
                                                                455030

                                                          = 8.79%

What is the total number of students who opted for Hindi and who opted for Mathematics in the years 2006,2007 and 2009 together?

Solution:
Number of students who opted for Hindi in the year 2006 = 5000

Number of students who opted for Hindi in the year 2007 = 15000

Number of students who opted for Hindi in the year 2009 = 20000

Number of students who opted for Mathematics in the year 2006 = 35000

Number of students who opted for Mathematics in the year 2007 = 15000

Number of students who opted for Mathematics in the year 2009 =5000

Therefore the required total is 5000 +15000 + 20000 + 35000 +15000 +5000
=95000
