AMCAT Logical Reasoning: Data Interpretation 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A company's quarterly sales were Rs 20L, Rs 25L, Rs 30L, Rs 25L. What is the average quarterly sales?
- Rs 24L
- Rs 25L (Correct answer)
- Rs 26L
- Rs 27L
Correct answer: Rs 25L
Average = (20+25+30+25)/4 = 100/4 = Rs 25L.
Total = 20 + 25 + 30 + 25 = 100 lakhs. Average = 100/4 = Rs 25 lakhs.
Question 2: In a pie chart, if the total is 360 degrees and sector A is 90 degrees, what percentage does A represent?
- 20%
- 25% (Correct answer)
- 30%
- 15%
Correct answer: 25%
Percentage = (sector angle / 360) × 100 = (90/360) × 100 = 25%.
A pie chart has 360 degrees. A sector of 90 degrees represents 90/360 = 1/4 = 25% of the total.
Question 3: From a bar chart: Product A sold 500 units, Product B sold 800, Product C sold 300. What is the ratio of A to C?
- 5:3 (Correct answer)
- 3:5
- 8:3
- 5:8
Correct answer: 5:3
A:C = 500:300 = 5:3 (divide both by 100).
500:300 = 5:3. The ratio of Product A to Product C is 5:3.
Question 4: Monthly expenses: Food Rs 4000, Rent Rs 8000, Transport Rs 2000, Misc Rs 1000. What percentage is spent on rent?
- 50%
- 53.3% (Correct answer)
- 45%
- 60%
Correct answer: 53.3%
Total = 15000. Rent% = 8000/15000 × 100 = 53.3%.
Total = Rs 15,000. Rent = Rs 8,000. Percentage = 8000/15000 × 100 = 53.33%.
Question 5: Sales grew from 200 units in January to 250 units in February. What is the percentage increase?
- 20%
- 25% (Correct answer)
- 50%
- 10%
Correct answer: 25%
% increase = (250-200)/200 × 100 = 25%.
Change = 250 − 200 = 50. % increase = (50 / 200) × 100 = 25%.
Question 6: A company's profit in 2023 was Rs 5 crore and in 2024 was Rs 6.5 crore. What is the percentage growth?
- 25%
- 30% (Correct answer)
- 35%
- 20%
Correct answer: 30%
% growth = (6.5-5)/5 × 100 = 1.5/5 × 100 = 30%.
Increase = Rs 1.5 crore. Base = Rs 5 crore. % growth = 1.5/5 × 100 = 30%.
