Q1.
Directions: Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below:
Number of soldiers (in thousands) joining five different forces during six different years
The total soldiers joining BSF in the years 2010, 2012 and 2014 was approximately what per cent of the total number of soldiers joining Navy over all the years together?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
Total soldiers joining BSF in the years 2010, 2012 and 2014
= (4.8+5.2+7.2) = 17.2 thousands
Total number of soldiers joining Navy over all the years
= (0.75+1.2+1.8+3.25+4.25+5.2) = 16.45 thousands
Required percentage = (17.2*100)/16.45 = 104.5 = 105%
Q2.
