Question Number: 6 Question Type: NAT
The following graph represents the installed capacity
for cement production (in tonnes) and the actual
production (in tonnes) of nine cement plants of a
cement company. Capacity utilization of a plant is
defined as ratio of actual production of cement to
installed capacity. A plant with installed capacity of at
least 200 tonnes is called a large plant and a plant with
lesser capacity is called a small plant. The difference
between total production of large plants and small
plants in tonnes is ______

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Solution:  As we know that plants 1, 4, 8, 9 are large
while 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 are small.
The total production of the large plants is
160 + 190 + 230 + 190 = 770
The total production of the small plants is
150 + 160 + 120 + 100 + 120 = 650
The difference is 770 - 650 = 120 tonnes.
Hence, the correct Answer is (120).
Question Number: 7 Question Type: MCQ
A poll of students appearing for masters in engineering
indicated that 60% of the students believed that
mechanical engineering is a profession unsuitable
for women. A research study on women with masters
or higher degrees in mechanical engineering found
that 99% of such women were successful in their
professions.
Which of the following can be logically inferred from
the above paragraph?
(A) Many students have misconceptions regarding
various engineering disciplines
(B) Men with advanced degrees in mechanical
engineering believe women are well suited to
be mechanical engineers

GATE 2016 Solved Paper Electrical Engineering: Set – 2 | xxxix
Solution:  Option (A) cannot be inferred because the
given passage brings out the opinion of students with
respect to mechanical engineering only.
Option (B) cannot be inferred because the statement
does not make a specific reference to the opinions of
men with advanced degrees in mechanical engineering.
Option (C) can be inferred because the research result
indicates that nearly all the women with masters
or higher degrees in mechanical engineering were
successful.
Option (D) cannot be inferred because the passage

does not provide any information about the number
200
190 of women pursuing higher degrees in mechanical
engineering.
