  1. What is the total number of students studying MBA in all colleges together?

    1. 1800
    2. 2100
    3. 2300
    4. 2500


Answer: (c) 2300

Solution: total number of students studying MBA in all colleges together, $$ = 350 + 300 + 500 + 600 + 550 $$ $$ = 2300 $$

  1. What is the respective ratio of total number of students studying MCA in the colleges R and S together to those studying MBA in the colleges P and Q together?

    1. 20:13
    2. 22:15
    3. 24:17
    4. 21:19


Answer: (a) 20:13

Solution: Total number of students studying MCA in the colleges R and S together, $$ = 550 + 450 $$ $$ = 1000 $$ total number of students studying MBA in the colleges P and Q together, $$ = 350 + 300 $$ $$ = 650 $$ Required ratio, $$ = 1000 : 650 $$ $$ = 20 : 13 $$

  1. What is the respective ratio of total number of students studying B.Tech. in the college R and S?

    1. 5:7
    2. 9:11
    3. 12:5
    4. 15:7


Answer: (c) 12:5

Solution: Required ratio, $$ = 600 : 250 $$ $$ = 12 : 5 $$

  1. Number of students studying B.Tech. in college R forms approximately what percent of the total number of students studying MBA in all colleges together?

    1. 16%
    2. 20%
    3. 26%
    4. 28%


Answer: (c) 26%

Solution: Number of students studying B.Tech in college R = 600
Total number of students studying MBA in all the colleges together = 2300
Hence, Required percentage, $$ = \frac{600}{2300} \times 100 $$ $$ = 26.08 \ \% \approx 26 \ \% $$

  1. Number of students studying MBA in college Q forms approximately what percent of total number of students studying all the disciplines together in that college?

    1. 21%
    2. 23%
    3. 25%
    4. 27%


Answer: (b) 23%

Solution: Number of students studying MBA in college Q = 300
total number of students studying all the disciplines together in the college Q, $$ = 300 + 450 + 550 $$ $$ = 1300 $$ Hence, Required percentage $$ = \frac{300}{1300} \times 100 $$ $$ = 23.07 \ \% \approx 23 \ \% $$
