MODULE OBJECTIVE:

Pie charts:

A pie chart (or a circle graph) is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustratingproportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each sector (and consequently its centralangle and area), is proportional to the quantity it represents. When angles are measured with1 turn as unit then a number of percent is identified with the same number of centiturns.Together, the sectors create a full disk. It is named for its resemblance to a pie which hasbeen sliced. The earliest known pie chart is generally credited to William Playfair's StatisticalBreviary of 1801. Pie charts are common in business and journalism.

Line graphs:

A line graph is a way of visually representing related data where individual items of dataare plotted and joined by a line. They are useful for presenting data over time to comparechanges to a variable over set period. Joining up the points gives an instant picture of pasttrends (increases or decreases) and can be used to extrapolate those trends to makepredictions for future.

The variable represented is continuous.

A graph is set within 2 axes: x and y.

The axes will not always start measuring from zero. If they dont this is called thesuppression of zero. This will affect the appearance of the line(s) on the graph making themsteeper than they would be if the scale started at zero and occupied the same space as thescale would be smaller.

PREREQUISITES (RELATED FORMULAS):

In pie charts, from geometry, we know that the area the sector of a circle must beproportional to the corresponding value of the component.

Since the sum of all the central angle is 360, we have

Central angle of the component = {(value of the component/Total value) x 360} .

If amongst other countries, Switzerland accounted for 25% of the Indian tourist traffic, andit is known from official Swiss records that a total of 25 lakh Indian tourists had gone toSwitzerland during the year, then find the number of 30-39 year old Indian tourists who wentabroad in that year ?A. Rs.18.75 lakh B. Rs. 25 lakhC. Rs. 50 lakh D. Rs. 75 lakhAnswer: (D)Tourist traffic from other countries to Swiz is 20%.Amongst this 20%, 25% of traffic from India.So, 25% of 20% = 5% corresponds to the Indian traffic in Switzerland.5 % corresponds to Switzerland's 25 lakh. Hence 15% will be 75 lakh.

LINE GRAPHS:Example 9-13Two different finance companies declare fixed annual rate of interest on the amounts investedwith them by investors. The rate of interest offered by these companies may differ from yearto year depending on the variation in the economy of the country and the banks rate ofinterest.

Answer: (D)IBM accounts for 28% of the share by value and 10% of the share by volume.28% of 1650000 = 28 x 1650000/100 = 46200010% of 1500 = 10 x 1500/100 = 150Therefore, average unit sale price = 462000/150 = 3080.7. Answer: (B)20% of the total funds to be arranged = Rs. (20% of 57600) crores

= Rs. 11520 croresRs. 11486 crores.

Rs. 11486 crores is the amount of funds to be arranged through External Assistance.8. Answer: (C)Shortage of funds arrangedthrough External Assistance

26. Answer: (D)Total exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z together, during various years are:In 1993 = Rs. (30 + 80 + 60) crores = Rs. 170 crores.In 1994 = Rs. (60 + 40 + 90) crores = Rs. 190 crores.In 1995 = Rs. (40 + 60 + 120) crores = Rs. 220 crores.In 1996 = Rs. (70 + 60 + 90) crores = Rs. 220 crores.In 1997 = Rs. (100 + 80 + 60) crores = Rs. 240 crores.In 1998 = Rs. (50 + 100 + 80) crores = Rs. 230 crores.In 1999 = Rs. (120 + 140 + 100) crores = Rs. 360 crores.Clearly, the total exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z together are same during theyears 1995 and 1996.27. Answer: (D)1. The amount of exports of Company X (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995,1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 30, 60, 40, 70, 100, 50 and 120 respectively.2. The amount of exports of Company Y (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995,1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 80, 40, 60, 60, 80, 100 and 140 respectively.3. The amount of exports of Company Z (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995,1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 60, 90,, 120, 90, 60, 80 and 100 respectively.Average annual exports (in Rs. crore) of Company Y during the given period

(60 - 40) crores = Rs. 20 crores.In 1995 = Rs. (60 - 40) crores = Rs. 20 crores.In 1996 = Rs. (70 - 60) crores = Rs. 10 crores.In 1997 = Rs. (100 - 80) crores = Rs. 20 crores.In 1998 = Rs. (100 - 50) crores = Rs. 50 crores.In 1999 = Rs. (140 - 120) crores = Rs. 20 crores.Clearly, the difference is minimum in the year 1996.29. Answer: (C)Average exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z in 1993

crores7

= Rs. 85.71 crores.From the analysis of graph the exports of Company Z are more than the average annualexports of Company Z (i.e., Rs. 85.71 crores) during the years 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1999,i.e., during 4 of the given years.31. Answer: (D)The ratio of imports to exports for the years 1998 and 1999 are 1.25 and 1.40 respectively.Let the exports in the year 1998 = Rs. x crores.Then, the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. (500 - x) crores.

1.25 =250

x =250

= 200 [Using ratio for 1998]x 1.25

Thus, the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. (500 - 200) crores = Rs. 300 crores.Let the imports in the year 1999 = Rs. y crores.

Then, 1.40 =y

y = (300 x 1.40) = 420.300

Imports in the year 1999 = Rs. 420 crores.32. Answer: (C)The imports are minimum proportionate to the exports implies that the ratio of the value ofimports to exports has the minimum value.Now, this ratio has a minimum value 0.35 in 1997, i.e., the imports are minimumproportionate to the exports in 1997.33. Answer: (D)The graph gives only the ratio of imports to exports for different years. To find thepercentage increase in imports from 1997 to 1998, we require more details such as the valueof imports or exports during these years.Hence, the data is inadequate to answer this question.34. Answer: (B)Ratio of imports to exports in the year 1996 = 0.85.Let the exports in 1996 = Rs. x crores.


SITAMS Page 23

Then,272

= 0.85 x =272

= 320.x 0.85

Exports in 1996 = Rs. 320 crores.35. Answer: (D)The exports are more than the imports imply that the ratio of value of imports to exports isless than 1.Now, this ratio is less than 1 in years 1995, 1996, 1997 and 2000.Thus, there are four such years.36. Answer: (D)Required difference = (128000 - 107000) = 21000.37. Answer: (C)From the line-graph it is clear that the productions of Company X in the years 1997, 1998,1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 are 119000, 99000, 141000, 78000, 120000 and 159000 andthose of Company Y are 139000, 120000,100000, 128000, 107000 and 148000 respectively.Total production of Company X from 1997 to 2002

= 119000 + 99000 + 141000 + 78000 + 120000 + 159000= 716000.

and total production of Company Y from 1997 to 2002= 139000 + 120000 + 100000 + 128000 + 107000 + 148000= 742000.

Then, 35 =x - 220

x 100 x = 297.220

Income of Company Y in 1997 = Rs. 297 crores.43. Answer: (D)Let the expenditures of each companies X and Y in 1996 be Rs. x crores.And let the income of Company X in 1996 be Rs. z crores.So that the income of Company Y in 1996 = Rs. (342 - z) crores.Then, for Company X we have:

40 =z - x

x 10040

- 1 x =100z

.... (i)x 100 x 140

Also, for Company Y we have:

- 1 x =(342 - z) x 100

.... (ii)x 100 x 145

From (i) and (ii), we get:100z

=(342 - z) x 100

z = 168.140 145Substituting z = 168 in (i), we get : x = 120.

Total expenditure of Companies X and Y in 1996 = 2x = Rs. 240 crores.Total income of Companies X and Y in 1996 = Rs. 342 crores.

Total profit = Rs. (342 - 240) crores = Rs. 102 crores.44. Answer: (A)Let the income of Company X in 1998 be Rs. x crores.

Then, 55 =x - 200

x 100 x = 310.200

Expenditure of Company X in 2001 = Income of Company X in 1998

= Rs. 310 crores.

Let the income of Company X in 2001 be Rs. z crores.

Then, 50 =z - 310

x 100 z = 465.310

Income of Company X in 2001 = Rs. 465 crores.45. Answer: (D)Let the incomes of each of the two Companies X and Y in 1999 be Rs. x.And let the expenditures of Companies X and Y in 1999 be E1 and E2 respectively.Then, for Company X we have:

Answer: (B)The differences between the percentages of candidates qualified to appeared for the give pairsof years are:For 1994 and 1995 = 50 - 30 = 20.For 1998 and 1999 = 80 - 80 = 0.For 1994 and 1997 = 50 - 30 = 20.For 1997 and 1998 = 80 - 50 = 30.For 1999 and 2000 = 80 - 60 = 20.Thus, the maximum difference is between the years 1997 and 1998.47. Answer: (D)The graph gives the data for the percentage of candidates qualified to appeared and unless theabsolute values of number of candidates qualified or candidates appeared is know we cannotcompare the absolute values for any two years.Hence, the data is inadequate to solve this question.48. Answer: (C)The number of candidates appeared in 1998 be x.

Then, 80% of x = 21200 x =21200 x 100

49. Answer: (D)The total number of candidates qualified in 1996 and 1997 together, cannot be determineduntil we know at least, the number of candidates appeared in any one of the two years 1996or 1997 or the percentage of candidates qualified to appeared in 1996 and 1997 together.Hence, the data is inadequate.50. Answer: (C)The number of candidates qualified in 1999 = (80% of 26500) = 21200.

Number of candidates qualified in 2000 = ( 33500 - 21200 ) = 12300.Let the number of candidates appeared in 2000 be x.

Then, 60% of x = 12300 x =12300 x 100
