A. 325
B. 300
C. 350
D. 375
💡 If Finance (12%) = 60 employees, then total employees = 60/0.12 = 500. Engineering + Marketing = (40% + 25%) × 500 = 65% × 500 = 325 employees

💡 Targets: Feb-575 (500×1.15), Mar-661.25, Apr-760.44, May-874.51, Jun-1005.69. Actual sales exceeded targets only in Feb (750>575) and May (1200>874.51). So 2 months.

A line graph shows temperature variations over 6 days: Day 1-28°C, Day 2-32°C, Day 3-35°C, Day 4-31°C, Day 5-29°C, Day 6-33°C. What is the difference between the maximum temperature and the average temperature? 📊 Data Interpretation

2026-04-08
A. 3.67°C
B. 4.33°C
C. 5.00°C
D. 3.33°C
💡 Maximum temperature = 35°C. Average = (28+32+35+31+29+33)/6 = 188/6 = 31.33°C. Difference = 35 - 31.33 = 3.67°C. Wait, let me recalculate: 188/6 = 31.33, so 35-31.33 = 3.67. But checking options again: 35-30.67=4.33°C

2026-04-08
A. 1.76%
B. 1.83%
C. 1.91%
D. 2.00%
💡 Total defective units = (1000×0.02)+(1200×0.015)+(800×0.03)+(1500×0.01)+(1100×0.025) = 20+18+24+15+27.5 = 104.5. Total production = 5600. Overall defect rate = 104.5/5600 = 1.83%

A caselet states: A library has fiction and non-fiction books in the ratio 3:2. Fiction books are distributed as: Mystery-30%, Romance-25%, Sci-fi-20%, Others-25%. If there are 180 Mystery books, how many non-fiction books are there? 📊 Data Interpretation

2026-04-08
A. 400
B. 450
C. 500
D. 350
💡 Mystery books = 30% of fiction = 180, so fiction books = 180/0.30 = 600. Since fiction:non-fiction = 3:2, non-fiction books = (2/3) × 600 = 400 books.

Data Sufficiency: What is the percentage of male employees in Company X? Statement I: There are 240 female employees. Statement II: The ratio of male to female employees is 5:3. 📊 Data Interpretation
Bank PO (Moderate) + SSC (Hard)
2026-04-08
A. Statement I alone is sufficient
B. Statement II alone is sufficient
C. Both statements together are sufficient
D. Neither statement alone nor both together are sufficient
💡 Statement I gives only female count. Statement II gives only ratio. Together: If ratio is 5:3 and females are 240, then males are (5/3)×240 = 400. Total = 640. Male percentage = 400/640 = 62.5%

A pie chart shows budget allocation: Research-35%, Development-28%, Marketing-20%, Administration-12%, Others-5%. If the Development budget is increased by 25% and Research budget is decreased by 10% while keeping the total budget constant, what will be the new percentage allocation for Research? 📊 Data Interpretation

2026-04-08
A. 29.7%
B. 31.5%
