Q6. 15, 69, 235, 939, 3755
1) 69 2) 939 3) 3755 4) 15 5) 235
Q7. 22, 23, 31, 58, 121
1) 22 2) 23 3) 31 4) 121 5) 58
Q8. 120, 220, 380, 740, 1400
1) 740 2) 220 3) 120 4) 380 5) 1400
Answer & Explanation 1. 3 E(B2013)/E(B2014) = [100/178 I(B2013)]/[100/196 I(B2014)] = 13/7 I(B2013)/I(B2014) = 13/7 * 178/195 = 178/105 2. 4 E(B2014) = 11x = Rs. 55,00,000 I(B2014) = E(B2014) * 195/100 55,00,000 * 195/100 = 107,25,000 3. 5 4. 5 5. 1 6. 1; The series is : 7. 4; The series is : 8. 4; The series is :
E(B2013)/E(B2014) = 13/4
[I(B2013) – E(B2013)]/E(B2013) = 78/100
100 I(B2013) – 100 E(B2013) = 78 E (B2013)
I(B2013) = E(B2013) * 178/100
Similarly, I(B2014) = E(B2014) * 195/100
E(A2014) : E(B2014) = 7 : 11
7x + 11x = Rs. 90,00,000
18x = Rs. 90,00,000
x = Rs. 5,00,000
E(A2012) = 100/172 I(A2012)
E(B2012) = 100/189 I(B2012)
Since, I(A2012) = I(B2012)
E(A2012) : E(B2012) = 189 : 172
I = E(1 + P/100)
I/E – 1 = P/100
E = 100(I-E)/P
(I – E) is nothing but amount of profit 1. As (I – E) will remain constant for over the years, the value of E will be
minimum in that year when the percentage profit is
maximum of company A i.e. 2015.
15 × 4 – 1 = 59 not equal to 69
59 × 4 – 1 = 235
235 × 4 – 1 = 939
939 × 4 – 1 = 3755
22 + 13 = 23
23 + 23 = 31
31 + 33 = 58
58 + 43 = 122 not equal to 121
120 × 2 – 20 = 220
220 × 2 – 40 = 400 not equal to 380
400 × 2 – 60 = 740
740 × 2 – 80 = 1400
