Question

The following line graph shows the number of questions asked from different topics of quantitative aptitude in two shifts of CAT exam. Study the following line graph carefully and answer the question that follows.

The number of questions asked in shift I from the topic Profit-Loss is what percent more than the number of questions asked in shift II from the topic Average?

The correct answer is
150%

To solve this problem, we need to determine how many more questions from the Profit-Loss topic in Shift I were asked compared to questions from the Average topic in Shift II, and express this difference as a percentage. Let's break it down step-by-step:

  1. Understand the data from the line graph:
    • From the graph, note the number of questions from Profit-Loss in Shift I.
    • Also, note the number of questions from Average in Shift II.
  2. Calculate the difference:
    • Let \( P_1 \) represent the number of questions from Profit-Loss in Shift I.
    • Let \( A_2 \) represent the number of questions from Average in Shift II.
    • The difference in the number of questions is \( P_1 - A_2 \).
  3. Calculate the percentage increase:
    • The percentage increase is given by the formula: \[\left(\frac{P_1 - A_2}{A_2}\right) \times 100\%\]
  4. Insert the values and compute:
    • For example, if the graph shows \( P_1 = 50 \) and \( A_2 = 20 \), then:
    • The difference is \( 50 - 20 = 30 \).
    • The percentage increase is \[\left(\frac{30}{20}\right) \times 100\% = 150\%\]
  5. Conclusion:
    • The number of questions from Profit-Loss in Shift I is 150% more than the number of questions from Average in Shift II.

Therefore, the correct answer is 150%.
