Which of the following producers has the highest unutilized production capacity in percentage terms?

A Ispat International

B Mittal Steel

C Chennai Steel

Downloaded from cracku.in

Answer: A

Explanation:
Comparing the four, we can see that Mittal and Chennai Steel have much higher utilization rate than the other two.
The unutilized capacity for Ispat and Tata is 7/22 and 19/60.
Comparing the two fractions we get 7/22>19/60
Hence, Ispat has the highest unutilized capacity.

Question 8

Amit is in the market to buy one tonne of the cheapest steel. Which producers should he buy from?

A Ispat International

B Mittal Steel

C Tata Steel

D None of the above

Answer: D

Explanation:
The price per tonne for steel for each of the four is the least for Mittal Steel at 2600/tonne. To calculate the average price/tonne for
Others we calculate their revenue and divide by the number of tonnes sold. Hence, revenue of Others = 22400 - sum of top 4 = 4400.
Hence price/tonne=4400/4=1100. Hence, Other producers will provide the cheapest steel.

The number of students playing football and cricket in class 8 of ABC school is 48 and 65 respectively. The total number of students
playing football and cricket in ABC school is 126 and 135 respectively. The number of students in class 8 is 95 and total number of
students in ABC school is 220. Assume that each student plays at least one sport.

Question 9

Find the number of students not studying in class 8 and playing exactly one sport of cricket and football?

A 92

B 102

C 112

D 120

Answer: B

Explanation:
Total number of students in the school playing both football and cricket is 126+135-220 =41
So, total number of students playing exactly one sport is 220-41=179
Total number of students in class 8 playing both football and cricket is 48+65-95 = 18
So, total number of students in class 8 playing exactly one sport is 95-18=77
So, number of students not from class 8 playing exactly one sport is 179-77=102
