By how much percentage has production changed (approximately) in 2003 as compared to its value for 2000?
- \(-3\%\)
- \(+5%\)
- \(0\%\)
- \(+7\%\)
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Production in year \(2000 = 17213 × 83.2 = \text {Rs.} \ 14,32,121.6\)
Production in year \(2003 = 12338 × 113 = \text {Rs.} \ 13,94,194\)
Now, % Change in production,
\( = \frac {13,94,194-14,32,121.6}{14,32,121.6} \times 100\)
\(= -2.6\%\)
\(≃ 3\%\)
So, the correct option is (A): \(-3\%\).
The percentage change in which of the mentioned areas is the highest over the period 2000-2003?
- Work force
- Productivity
- Production
- Both (1) and (2)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Percentage Change in productivity \(= \frac {113-83.2}{83.2} \times 100 = 35.8 \%\) (Maximum)
Percentage Change in workforce \(= \frac {17213-12338}{17213} \times 100 = 28.3\%\)
Production in year \(2000 = 17213 \times 83.2 = Rs.\ 14,32,121.6\)
Production in year \(2003 = 12338 × 113 = Rs.\ 13,94,194\)
% Change in production \(= \frac {14,32,121.6-13,94,194}{14,32,121.6} \times 100 = 2.6\%\)
So, the correct option is (B): Productivity.
Which two variables have moved in the samedirection in the mentioned period?
- Workforce and productivity
- Workforce and production
- Production and productivity
- None of these
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Workforce is directly proportional to production, indicating that both have followed the same trend. Both experienced a percentage decline between 2000 and 2003.
So, the correct option is (B): Workforce and production.
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.
