Answer C) 23: 11
Let X be the total population of all the 7 villages.
Then, population of village T below poverty line = 46% of (21% of X)
population of village Z below poverty line = 42% of (11% of X)
required ration = 46%of (21% of X)/42% of (11%of x) =23/11

3)Find the population of village S if the population of village X below poverty line in 1997 is 12160.

Directions(5-9):The following line graph gives the ratio of the amounts of imports by a company to the amount of exports from that company over the period from 1995 to 2001.
Ratio of Value of Imports to Exports by a Company over the Years.

5)If the imports in 1998 were Rs. 250 crores and the total exports in the years 1998 and 1999 together was Rs. 500 crores, then the imports in 1999 was?
A)Rs. 250 crores
B)Rs. 300 crores
C)Rs. 357 crores
D)Rs. 420 crores
E)None of these

Answer D)Rs. 420 crores
The ratio of imports to exports for the years 1998 and 1999 are 1.25 and 1.40 respectively.
Let the exports in the year 1998 = Rs. x crores.
Then, the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. (500 – x) crores.
1.25 = 250/x è x = 250 /1.25 = 200 ( Using ratio for 1998
Thus, the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. (500 – 200) crores = Rs. 300 crores.
Let the imports in the year 1999 = Rs. y crores.
Then, 1.40 = y / 300 è y = ( 300 * 1.40 ) = 420
Imports in the year 1999 = Rs. 420 crores.

6)The imports were minimum proportionate to the exports of the company in the year ?
A)1995
B)1996
C)1997
D)2000
E)None of these

Answer C)1997
The imports are minimum proportionate to the exports implies that the ratio of the value of imports to exports has the minimum value.
Now, this ratio has a minimum value 0.35 in 1997, i.e., the imports are minimum proportionate to the exports in 1997.

7)What was the percentage increase in imports from 1997 to 1998?
A)72
B)56
C)28

B)Rs. 320 crores
C)Rs. 280 crores
D)Rs. 275 crores
E)None of these

Answer B)Rs. 320 crores
Ratio of imports to exports in the year 1996 = 0.85.
Let the exports in 1996 = Rs. x crores.
Then, 272/x = 0.85 è x = 272 / 0.85= 320
Exports in 1996 = Rs. 320 crores.
