Q.3 Indian electricity prices have risen from Rs. 6.4 to Rs.6.5 per unit.Arvi’s factory expected to use 600 units in the next billing period. He installed solar panels at the start of that period. This reduced his electricity usage by 90%.

A) Rs. 6
B) Rs. 38
C) Rs. 39
D) Rs. 54
Ans. A
Number of units of electricity used in the factory = 600
Number of units of electricity used after installing solar panels = 600
90% of 600 = 60
Increase in the cost of one unit electricity = Rs 6.5-6.4=0.1
Increase in Arvi’s bill = Rs 0.1 × 60 = Rs 6

Q.8 What percent of the total number of Officers takes training in Computer Skills but not in Financial Skills ?
A) 25 %
B) 15 %
C) 40 %
D) 11 %
Ans. D
% = Officers taking training in Computer skills but not in financial skills/ Total number of officers * 100
(20+2)/200 * 100 = 11 %
Explanation:
Number of officers = 450*4/(4+5) = 450 * 4/9 = 200
Number of Clerks = 450 – 200 = 250
Officers in Computer skills = 10/100 * 200 = 20
Clerks in HRM =16/100 * 250 = 40 (Officers in Financial skills)
Clerks in HRM = 50 % of officers in HRM & Financial skills
Therefore, Officers in HRM & Financial skills = 40*100/50 = 80
Total employees taking training in all three = 6/100*450 = 27
Officers in all three = 2/3*27 = 18
Therefore, clerks in all three= 27-18 = 9
***Employees taking training in HRM & Computer skills = 10/100*450 = 45
Employees in HRM & computer skills = 5* clerks in computer skills & financial skills
Thus, Clerks in computer skills & Financial skills = 45/5 =9
Clerks in HRM & Computer skills =10% of 250
=25
Officers only in HRM =25% of clerks in HRM
25/100*40=10
Clerks in HRM & Financial skills = 20% of 250 = 50
