  1. The total number of students enrolled in college B from 2013 to 2016 is approximately what percent more than the total number of students enrolled in college A in 2015 and 2016 together is?

    1. 155%
    2. 183%
    3. 192%
    4. 198%


Answer: (b) 183%

Solution: Students enrolled in college B from 2013 to 2016, $$ = 490 + 450 + 600 + 300 $$ $$ = 1840 $$ Students enrolled in college A in 2015 and 2016, $$ = 500 + 150 = 650 $$ Required percentsge, $$ = \frac{1840 - 650}{650} \times 100 $$ $$ = \frac{11900}{65} $$ $$ = 183 \ \% $$

  1. If from the year 2011 to 2012, there was 20% increase in total number of students enrolled in both colleges, then find the total number of students enrolled in 2011?

    1. 556
    2. 675
    3. 617
    4. 643


Answer: (c) 617

Solution: Total number of students enrolled in both colleges in 2011, $$ = (290 + 450) \times \frac{100}{120} $$ $$ = 740 \times \frac{100}{120} $$ $$ = 616.67 \approx 617 $$

  1. The respective ratio between total students in both colleges in 2014 to total members in both colleges in 2015 is?

Solution: Total students in both colleges in 2014, $$ = 380 + 450 = 830 $$ total students in both colleges in 2015, $$ = 500 + 600 = 1100 $$ Required ratio, $$ = 830 : 1100 $$ $$ = 83 : 110 $$

  1. The number of students of college B in 2012 is what percent of the number students of college A in 2015?

    1. 80%
    2. 90%
