Answers with Explanations

1. 1; Number of passengers travelled by Shatabdi Exp during the given eight years
= 6 + 7 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 6 + 3 = 43 lakh
Similarly, in Sapt Kranti Exp = 28 lakh
In Sampark Kranti Exp = 36 lakh
In Rajdhani Exp = 27 lakh
The number of passengers travelled by Shatabdi Exp is the maximum.
2. 5; Income of Shatabdi Exp in 2012 = 600000 400 = 240000000 = 24 crore
Income of Sampark Kranti Exp in 2013 =

600000 400

120
100

= 28.8 crore

Reqd ratio = 24 : 28.8 = 5 : 6

3. 2; Difference between the number of passengers of Sapt Kranti Exp in 2011 and the number of
passengers of Rajdhani Exp in 2006 = 3 lakh 2 lakh = 1 lakh
4. 4; Total number of passengers travelled in 2010 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 = 12 lakh
Total number of passengers travelled in 2013 = 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 18 lakh
Reqd % =

18

= 66.67%

5. 5; Income of the Rajdhani Exp during 2011 to 2013 = (5 + 2 + 4) 350 = 3850 lakh = `38.5 crore
Income of Sapt Kranti Express during 2011 to 2013 = (3 + 4 + 5) 450 = `5400 lakh = `54 crore
Total income = 38.5 + 54 = `92.5 crore
6. 2; Population of Muslims = 20 + 27.5 + 32.5 + 20 + 15 + 20 = 135 lakh
Population of Christians = 30 + 25 + 20 + 25 + 10 + 27.5 = 137.5 lakh
Population of Other religions = 25 + 20 + 27.5 + 10 + 27.5 + 32.5 = 142.5 lakh
Hence, population of Other religions is the maximum.
