Answers:

1-5): From the given information we get:

Now, from the above information we get


Passed
Fig III

Again from the above information we get:
Note that,

  • Passed in Physics only implies failed in Mathematics and Chemistry only.
  • Passed in Physics and Chemistry only implies failed in Mathematics only.
Failed
Fig IV


And, ? = 824 - (140 + 240 + 180) = 264
Thus, we get
Failed
Fig V

1. 2; 
See figure IV.
The number of required students = 1500 - 676 = 824

2. 3; 
See figure IV.
The number of required students = 140 + 120 + 160 = 420

3. 5; 
According to the given information, 206 students passed in all the three subjects.
This implies that the remaining (1500 - 206 =) 1294 students failed in at least one subject.

4. 1; 
See figure V.

5. 4; 
See figure II.
The required number of students = 190 + 180 + 240 + 160 + 120 + 140 + 206
= 1236

Or, from figure V,
the required number of students = 1500 - 264 = 1236

6. 2; Expenditure of Company A in 2001
= 40 * 100/130 = Rs. 30.76 lakhs

7. 4

8. 4
Income of Company C in 2000
= 36 * 130/100 = Rs. 46.8 lakhs

9. 3
Required ratio = 135 : 145 = 27 : 29

10. 1
Expenditure of Company D in 2000
= 51 * 100/145 = 35.17 lakhs

Profit = Income - Expenditure 
= 51 - 37.17 = Rs. 15.83 lakhs
