DIRECTIONS for question 1-2: Refer to the following table and answer the questions that follow:
City Price of property
Amsterdam 10,296
Bangalore 16,452
Bangkok 8,352
Beijing 27,540
Chicago 14,328
Frankfurt 17,172
Hong Kong 47,664
London 42,012
Mumbai 60,876
New Delhi 35,496
New York 23,796
Paris 24,372
Singapore 31,968
Tokyo 44,532
The property price is the total occupational cost per square meter per annum in Rs. Prevailing exchange rate at the time of the preparation of the above table was Rs. 36 = 1 US  $.
  1. The cost of office property in Mumbai is how many times the average cost of the two other Indian cities mentioned?
    1. 0.8
    2. 1.4
    3. 1.8
    4. 2.4
    5. 1.22
    Option: 4
    Explanation: The other two Indian cities are Bangalore and New Delhi. The average of their costs are (16,452 + 35,496)/2 ≈ 25,975. The cost of office property in Mumbai is 60,876. So Mumbai is 60,876/25,975 ≈ 2.4 times the average of the other two cities.
  2. SMP International sold their Singapore office measuring 2,000 sq. mt. and bought office property with the same amount at Amsterdam. What was the area in sq. mt. of the Amsterdam office?
    1. 645
    2. 6,200
    3. 9,300
    4. 6,000
    5. Can’t be determined
    Option: 2
    Explanation: Since the amounts were the same, the ratio of office areas will be inversely proportional to ratio of their rates.
    Since the rates of the Singapore and Amsterdam office are in the ratio 31968 : 10,296, which is slightly greater than 3; the area of the Amsterdam office to that of the Singapore office, will be in the ratio 3: 1.
    So the area of the Amsterdam office must be slightly greater than 3 times 2,000. So the nearest answer must be 6,200.
DIRECTIONS for Q 3 – 5: Refer to the following data about sale and consumption of branded biscuits
Country Annual Value (USD) Annual Volume (Tonnes) Annual Value/Per Capita (USD) Annual Vol/Per Capita (Kg)
USA 6,896,882,933 1,134,597 24.46 4.02
India 582,928,936 489,996 0.57 0.48
China 406,329,700 180,489 0.32 0.14
  1. The population of China is how many times the population of USA?
    1. 4.5
    2. 3.4
    3. 5.4
    4. 5.7
    5. Cannot be determined
    Option: 1
    Explanation:Population in China = 406/0.32 = 1,268 million.
    Population of US = 6897/24.46 = 282 million
    Hence required answer = 1,268/282 = 4.5 times
  2. If there were only these three countries to be represented on a table, what would be the measure of the central angle of the value, in degrees, of the value of branded biscuits consumed in USA?
    1. 2400
    2. 3000
    3. 2700
    4. 3400
    5. 3150
    Option: 5
    Explanation: Total consumption value = 6,897 + 583 + 406 = 7,886 m. Value of angle = (6897/7886) x 360 = 315. Hence 5.
  3. Given below are three statements:
    1. The Americans consume the most branded biscuits in the world.
    2. Of the three countries, branded biscuits are cheapest in China.
    3. India has a large share of unbranded biscuits.
    Which of these statements are true?
    1. Only I
    2. Only II
    3. Only III
    4. I, II and III
    5. None of these
    Option: 5
    Explanation: All the statements are false.
    I. Because we do not have data about rest of the world.
    II. Because branded biscuits are cheapest in India, not China.
    III. Because nothing can be said about unbranded biscuits. Hence 5.

    Total export in 1999 – 00 = Rs 7618 crore
    Share of Tata Consultancy Services = 1820 crore
    Percentage share of Tata Consultancy Services in 1999-00 = 1820 / 7618 x 100 = 23.89% ≈ 24%
    So the share has dropped by almost 9%.
