Directions for Questions 1 5: Refer to the following pie-chart and table and answer the questions that follow

Pie-Chart shows the market share (in sales) of various companies in the Indian software market in the year 2012-13

Table shows the various expenses and profit as a percentage of Sales1.) If in the year 2012-13, the employee cost of Infosys and TCS together was Rs. 7242 lakh, where the employee cost of TCS was greater than Infosys by Rs. 1782 lakh, then what is the amount of Marketing Expenses incurred by Wipro in 2012-13 (in Rs. lakh)? a) 1052b) 1000c) 1062d) 1020e) None of these

Answer: c)Solution: Let the employee cost of Infosys and TCS be x and y respectively,Therefore, x + y = 7242 and y - x = 1782Solving both the equations, we get x = 2730 lakh and y = 4512 lakh

Therefore, total sales of TCS = = Rs. 12800 lakh

Total sales by all the companies = = Rs. 40000 lakhSales of Wipro = 15% of 40000 lakh = Rs. 6000 lakhTotal Marketing expenses of Wipro = 17.7% of 6000 lakh = Rs. 1062 lakh. Hence, option c.

CaseletsDirections for Questions 1 5: Study the information given below and answer the following questionsThere are three aircrafts. A-380, 777 and 747. All three aircrafts have three different types of seat configuration viz. First class, Business class and Economy class. In 747, 560 passengers are travelling when there is 70% passenger occupancy. A-380 has 25% more seats than 747 and 777 has 30% less seats than A-380. 5% of the seats in A-380 are First class and 12.5% of the seats in 747 are in Business class. The respective ratio of seats in first class in A-380 to 777 to 747 is in the ratio of 5:3:4. There are a total of 300 seats in the Business class of all the aircrafts together and of those 40% are in A-380.

1.) What is the ratio of total number of seats in First class and Economy class together in A-380 to total number of seats in Business class and Economy class in 747?

a) 23:20b) 22:19c) 17:15d) 5:4e) None of these

Answer: b)

Solution: Using the given information, the data can be collated into a table as under:

Total number of seats in first class and economy class together in A-380 = 50 + 830 = 880Total number of seats in business class and economy class together in 747 = 100 + 660 = 760Therefore, required ratio = 880:760 = 22:19. Hence, option b.2.) If the ratio of the ticket prices of First class to Business class to Economy class of an A-380 charged by an airline is in the ratio of 5:3:1, then what is the ratio of the expected revenue of the airlines from the three class of seats, if the airline expects it would fly A-380 at full capacity?a) 25:36:83b) 15:20:83c) 20:25:83d) 30:37:83e) None of these

Answer: a)

Solution: Using the given information, the data can be collated into a table as under:

Let the ticket price of first class, business class and economy class be Rs. 5x, 3x and x respectively. Then the revenue from first class, business class and economy class = 5x 50 = 250x, 3x 120 = 360x, x 830 = 830x. Therefore, required ratio = 250x:360x:830x = 25:36:83. Hence, option a.3.) If an airline converts a 747 into a full economy class seats configuration, the total number of seats increase by 40%, the airline flies 747 on the New Delhi - Paris route and charges Rs. 2,50,000 for a first class ticket, Rs.1,50,000 for a business class ticket and Rs. 60,000 for an economy class ticket, then what is the approximate percentage change in the revenue from this flight after reconfiguration into full economy class seats. (Assume that the aircraft would fly with full capacity)?a) 2%b) 6%c) 4%d) No changee) 7%

Answer: c)

Solution: Using the given information, the data can be collated into a table as under:

Revenue before reconfiguration from 747 flight = 40 250000 + 100 150000 + 660 60000 = Rs. 64600000Total number of seats after reconfiguration into full economy flight = 140% of 800 = 1120Revenue after reconfiguration = 1120 60000 = Rs. 67200000

Percentage increase in revenue = 100 ~ 4%. 4.) What is the difference between the number of First class & Economy class seats together in A-380 and number of Business class & Economy class seats together in 747? a) 105b) 110c) 95d) 115e) None of these

Answer: e)

Solution: Using the given information, the data can be collated into a table as under:

Total number of first class and economy class seats in A-380 = 880Total number of business class and economy class seats in 747 = 760Required difference = 880 - 760 = 120. Hence, option e.5.) If on a particular day A-380, 777 and 747 are flying with a capacity of 65%, 75% and 80% respectively, then what is the respective ratio of the passengers in these aircrafts? a) 125:105:123b) 130:105:128c) 133:128:145d) 120:110:153e) None of these

Answer: b)

Solution: Using the given information, the data can be collated into a table as under:

Total number of passengers in A-380 = 65% of 1000 = 650.Total number of passengers in 777 = 75% of 700 = 525Total number of passengers in 747 = 80% of 800 = 640Required ratio = 130:105:128.
