| 1.How many foodgrains had a higher amount of carbohydrate per 100 grams of nutrients than M1? | 5 | In this question, we need to determine how many foodgrains have a carbohydrate amount greater than M1. To do so, we compare the carbohydrate content in M1 with the values listed for the other foodgrains. Based on the given data from the table, M1’s carbohydrate content is lower than the carbohydrate content of 5 other foodgrains. This comparison allows us to conclude that 5 foodgrains have a higher carbohydrate content than M1. |
| 2. How many grams of protein were there in 100 grams of nutrients in M2? | 12 | The amount of protein in M2 is explicitly provided in the table, which states that M2 contains 12 grams of protein per 100 grams of nutrients. No additional calculations or inferences are needed here, as the value is directly given in the data. |
| 3. How many grams of other nutrients were there in 100 grams of nutrients in M3? | 24 | In this question, we are asked to determine the amount of "other nutrients" in M3. The table directly indicates that M3 contains 24 grams of other nutrients per 100 grams of the foodgrain. This is a straightforward question where the answer is explicitly given in the provided data. |
| 4. What is the median of the number of grams of protein in 100 grams of nutrients among these food grains? | 12 | To find the median of protein content across the foodgrains, first, list the protein contents of all the foodgrains in ascending order. After arranging the data, we find that the protein content values are: [5, 7, 12, 15, 18]. The median is the middle value in this ordered list. Since there are five values, the third value (12 grams) is the median. Therefore, the median protein content in 100 grams of nutrients is 12 grams. |
| 5. Which one among the countries 1 through 8, has the smallest population in 2024? | Country 8 | To determine which country has the smallest population in 2024, we need to compare the population data for each country. After carefully reviewing the population figures provided for each country, it becomes evident that Country 8 has the lowest population among the listed countries in the year 2024. This conclusion is based on a direct comparison of the population values, which shows that Country 8 has a population lower than all other countries listed in the options. |
| 6. The ratio of Country 4’s GDP to Country 5’s GDP in 2026 will be closest to | 1.195 | To find the ratio of Country 4’s GDP to Country 5’s GDP in 2026, we need to divide the GDP of Country 4 by the GDP of Country 5. By performing this calculation, we find that the ratio is closest to 1.195. This indicates that Country 4’s GDP will be about 1.195 times that of Country 5 in 2026. |
| 7. Which one among the countries 1, 4, 5, and 7 will have the largest population in 2027? | Country 1 | The population projections for 2027 indicate that Country 1 will have the largest population among the countries listed in the options. By comparing the population growth rates for the selected countries and analyzing the data provided, it is clear that Country 1 will experience the highest growth in population over the next few years, leading to it surpassing the other countries by 2027. |
| 8. For how many countries among Country 1 through Country 8 will the GDP per capita in 2027 be lower than that in 2024? | 0 | According to the provided data, the GDP per capita for all the countries in the dataset is projected to increase from 2024 to 2027. Therefore, none of the countries will have a lower GDP per capita in 2027 than in 2024. This reflects a trend of economic growth and development over the next few years. |
| 9. How many times must the AC have been turned off between 11:01 pm and 1:59 am? | 2 | The temperature pattern suggests that the AC was likely turned off twice: 1) After the first session of POWER mode, the inside temperature rises significantly, indicating that the AC was likely turned off for some time. 2) A second increase in temperature occurs before the AC is switched on again, possibly to adjust the inside temperature. |
| 10. What was the temperature outside, in degree Celsius, at 1 am? | 34 | To determine the outside temperature at 1 am, we refer to the temperature graph provided. By locating 1 am on the graph, we can directly read off the corresponding temperature, which is found to be 34°C. |
| 11. What was the temperature outside, in degree Celsius, at 9 pm? | 42 | The temperature at 9 pm can be estimated by checking the temperature graph. By locating 9 pm on the time axis, we observe the corresponding outside temperature to be 42°C. |
| 12. What best can be concluded about the number of times the AC must have either been turned on or the AC temperature setting been altered between 11:01 pm and 1:59 am? | Exactly 3 | The number of times the AC was turned on or its settings were changed can be inferred by analyzing the temperature graph. There were exactly 3 instances when the AC was either turned on or its settings were altered. |
| 13. What was the maximum difference between temperature outside and inside temperature, in degree Celsius, between 11:01 pm and 1:59 am? | 10 | The maximum difference between the outside and inside temperatures can be found by analyzing the temperature graph and identifying the points where the inside temperature was at its highest while the outside temperature was at its lowest. The maximum difference between the inside and outside temperatures is found to be 10°C. |
| 14. How many subscribers belonged to the ‘Others’ category in 2024? | 55,000 | To calculate how many subscribers belong to the 'Others' category in 2024, we start by using the total number of subscribers and the percentage of subscribers in the 'Kid' and 'Elder' categories. The 'Others' category represents the remaining subscribers after accounting for the 'Kid' and 'Elder' groups. After performing the calculations, we find that 55,000 subscribers belong to the 'Others' category in 2024. |
| 15. What percentage of subscribers in the ‘Kid’ category used multiple apps in 2023? | 33.33% | In 2023, the number of 'Kid' subscribers who used one app was 10,000. The number of 'Kid' subscribers who used multiple apps is equal to the number of 'Elder' subscribers who used one app. After performing the calculations, we find that 33.33% of 'Kid' category subscribers used multiple apps. |
| 16. What was the percentage increase in the number of subscribers in the ‘Elder’ category from 2023 to 2024? | 65% | To calculate the percentage increase in the number of subscribers in the 'Elder' category from 2023 to 2024, we subtract the 2023 figure from the 2024 figure, divide by the 2023 number, and multiply by 100 to convert the result to a percentage. The percentage increase in the number of 'Elder' category subscribers is 65%. |
| 17. What could be the minimum percentage of subscribers who used multiple apps in 2024? | 20.0% | To determine the minimum percentage of subscribers using multiple apps in 2024, we assume the maximum possible number of users from both the 'Kid' and 'Elder' categories who used only one app. This assumption helps us maximize the number of subscribers who used multiple apps, and therefore, minimize the percentage of those using multiple apps. The minimum percentage of subscribers who used multiple apps is 20.0%. |
| 18. Which of the following statements is correct? (1) The ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection has a cash requirement of Rs. 9 Lakhs. (2) There is no ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection. (3) The cash requirement of the ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection cannot be uniquely determined. (4) The ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection has a cash requirement of Rs. 8 Lakhs. |
(1) The ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection has a cash requirement of Rs. 9 Lakhs. | The ATM at the intersection of R-C and V2 is confirmed to have a cash requirement of Rs. 9 Lakhs, according to the data provided. No other statement is consistent with this information. |
| 19. How many ATMs have cash requirements of Rs. 10 Lakhs or more? | 3 | To solve this question, we need to identify which ATMs have cash requirements of Rs. 10 Lakhs or more. After reviewing the data, it is clear that three ATMs have cash requirements of Rs. 10 Lakhs or more. |
| 20. Which of the following two statements is/are DEFINITELY true? Statement A: Each of R-A, R-B, and R-C has two ATMs. Statement B: Each of V1, V2, and V3 has two ATMs. |
(1) Only Statement A | Statement A is true because each of the roads R-A, R-B, and R-C has two ATMs, while Statement B is not necessarily true, as not all vertical roads have exactly two ATMs. |
| 21. What best can be said about the road distance (in km) between the ATMs having the second highest and the second lowest cash requirements? | (2) Either 4 km or 7 km | To determine the road distance between the ATMs with the second highest and second lowest cash requirements, we must first identify these two ATMs based on their cash values. After identifying their locations, we can look at the distances between their intersections. The road distance between these two ATMs is found to be either 4 km or 7 km, depending on the exact positioning of the ATMs on the grid. The question allows for both distances as valid answers, and therefore the correct choice is (2). |
| 22. What is the number of ATMs whose locations and cash requirements can both be uniquely determined? | 3 | By analyzing the available data and reviewing the distribution of ATMs, we can identify the ATMs whose locations and cash requirements can both be uniquely determined. From the figure and the data provided, it is clear that 3 ATMs have both their location and cash requirement fully specified. These ATMs are positioned at intersections where the cash requirement is unique and does not overlap with other ATMs at those locations. |
