The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In this question we have to check the growth year wise,
For 1991: 6610-6390 / 6390 = 3.44\(\%\)
In the table, we can clearly see that the least difference year is 1994 and 1995 
For the year 1995 =  \(\frac{8500-7530}{7530}\)
= 12.88 \(\%\)
The correct option is (D)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The production of Nuclear power in the year 2000 = 800
The Total capacity in the year 2000 = 30800
Percentage share = \(\frac{800}{30800}\) = 0.0259 
Percentage share = 2.59\(\%\)
The correct option is (B)

Question: 4

If the total power generated in thermal units be 40\(\%\) of the installed capacity, in hydel units be 50\(\%\) of the installed capacity and in nuclear be 90\(\%\) of the installed capacity, the total power generation in 1998 would be

  • 11900 MW
  • 5015 MW
  • 22100 MV

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

In question given that total power generated is
Total power generated = 40\(\%\) of Thermal power+ 50\(\%\) of Hydel power+ 90\(\%\) of Nuclear power
Thermal Power = 15200 MW
Hydel Power = 10200 MW
Nuclear Power = 800 MW
Power generated = \(\frac{40}{100}\) × 15200 + \(\frac{50}{100}\) × 10200 + \(\frac{90}{100}\) × 800
= 11900 MW
The correct option is (B)

Verified By Collegedunia

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Thermal Installed capacity in year 1990 = 7900
Total installed capacity in year 1990 = 14710
Percentage share of thermal energy in total capacity = \(\frac{Thermal}{Total\ Energy\ Produced}\)

Percentage share of thermal in total installed capacity =  \(\frac{7900}{14710}\)
= 53.7\(\%\) approx. 54\(\%\)
The correct option is (D)

Question: 6

The growth in the installed thermal capacity between 1991 and 1999 was approximately

Updated On: Sep 26, 2024
  • 51%
  • 130%
  • 92%
  • 103%
Hide Solution

Verified By Collegedunia

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Thermal capacity in 1991 = 8200
Thermal capacity in 1999 = 16700

Growth formula = \(\frac{Final\ Growth - Initial\ Growth}{Initial Growth}\)

Growth = \(\frac{16700-8200}{8200}\) = 1.03

Growth = 103\(\%\)
The correct option is (D)
