In each of those questions two quantities are given, one in column A and one in column B. Compare the two quantities.
Column A Column B The ratio of rainfall between the months February and July 2:3
| Column A | Column B |
| The ratio of rainfall between the months February and July | 2:3 |
- The two quantities are equal
- The quantity in column B is greater
- The quantity in column A is greater
- The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Column A :
Rainfall in the month February = \(1.4\)
Rainfall in month July = \(2\)
Ratio = \(1.4:2\)
= \(0.7:1\)
Column B:
\(2:3 = 0.67\)
So, Quantity A > Quantity B
The correct option is (C): The quantity in column A is greater
Column A Column B The average monthly rainfall recorded for the 7 months 1.9 inches
| Column A | Column B |
| The average monthly rainfall recorded for the 7 months | 1.9 inches |
- The two quantities are equal
- The quantity in column B is greater
- The quantity in column A is greater
- The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Column A:
The average monthly rainfall recorded for the \(7\) months is
\(\Rightarrow\;\)\(0.4+1.4+2.2+2.8+2.4+1.4+2 = 12.6\)
\(\therefore\;\)Average = \(\frac{12.6}{7} = 1.8\)
Column B:
\(1.9\)
So, Quantity B > Quantity A
The correct option is (B): The quantity in column B is greater
Column A Column B \(122\frac{1}{2}\)% of all the rain that fell during the 7-month period The amount of rainfall during Rainfall during the month of February.
| Column A | Column B |
| \(122\frac{1}{2}\)% of all the rain that fell during the 7-month period | The amount of rainfall during Rainfall during the month of February. |
- The two quantities are equal
- The quantity in column B is greater
- The quantity in column A is greater
- The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Column A:
Total rain fell in 7 months = \(126\)
\(\Rightarrow\;\)\(\frac{25}{2}\% \;of \;12.6 = 1.575\)
Column B:
Rainfall in month of Feb = \(1.4\)
So, Quantity A > Quantity B
The correct option is (C): The quantity in column A is greater
Column A Column B The ratio between the average rainfall in May and January The ratio between the average rainfall in April and February
| Column A | Column B |
| The ratio between the average rainfall in May and January | The ratio between the average rainfall in April and February |
- The two quantities are equal
- The quantity in column B is greater
- The quantity in column A is greater
- The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Column A
The ratio between average rainfall in average rainfall in May and January
\(\Rightarrow\;\)\(1.4 + \frac{2.4}{2} = 1.9\)
Column B
The ratio between the average rainfall in April and February
\(1.4+\frac{2.8}{2} = 2.1\)
So, Quantity B > Quantity A
The correct option is (B): The quantity in column B is greater
Top Questions on Line Graph
- The enrolment of students (in 1000s) at each of the five universities named-MPU, JSU, LTU, PKU and TRU – during each of the eight years from 2014 to 2021 is represented in the following chart. The names of these universities are not shown in the chart, instead they are labelled Univ 1, Univ 2, Univ 3, Univ 4 and Univ 5.
However, these four pieces of information are available:
W: The magnitudes of TRU's and MPU's net change in enrolment between 2014 and 2021 are the closest among any two universities.
X: LTU had the same enrolment in consecutive years at least twice between 2014 and 2021.
Y: The increase in JSU's enrolment from 2015 to 2019 is about 50% of TRU's total enrolment in 2020.
Z: The enrolment in one of LTU and PKU had a steady decline between 2014 and 2021, while the enrolment in the other had no decline between any two consecutive years in the same period. - Three different finance companies declare fixed annual rate of interest on the amount invested with them by investors.

All countries that have reported more than five hundred cancers to the WHO in 2007 are listed here. The left column gives the total number of cases reported by each country for 2006, the middle column gives the 2006 rate (cancer cases per 10,000 population) and the last column shows the number of cases reported in early 2007.
Most of the 2007 reports were for only the first quarter of the year. Owing to reporting delays of six months or more, cases reported in 2007 actually were diagnosed in 2006. - Study the following line graphs showing the production (in '0000) and percentage exported of scooters, motorbikes and cars respectively over the years.
