ANSWERS WITH Explanation:
1. Explanation
Required Ratio
= 5040/3360 = 1.5
2. Explanation:
Foreign exchange reserve in 1997-98 = 5040 million US $
Foreign exchange reserve in 1993-94 = 2520 million US $
Increase = 5040 - 2520 = 2520 million US $
Percentage Increase =[(2520)/(2520)] X 100 = 100%
3. Explanation Before solving this, put a clever eye on the chart, just calculate for those years which are actually
having increase if we compare to previous year.
These years are 1992-93, 1994-95, 1996-97, 1997-98
So lets calculate the percentage increase of these years compared to previous years:
i. For year 1992-93 =[(37202640)/(2640)]100 = 40.91%
ii. For year 1994-95 =[(336025200)]/(2520)100 = 33.33%
iii. For year 1996-97 =[(43203120)/(3120)]100 =38.46 %
Iv. For year 1997-98 =([50404320)/(4320)]100=16.67%
4. Explanation
First get the average of these 8 years.
which is, 1/8(2640+3720+2520+3360+3120+4320+5040+3120)
= 3480 million US $
Foreign exchange reserves in 1996-97 = 4320 million US $
Required Percentage = [(4320/3480)]100)%=125%
5. Explanation
Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period is = 3480 million US $
The country had reserves above 3480 million US $ during the years 1992-93, 1996-97 and 1997-98. So three
years was above the average and for rest of five years it was below the average
So required ratio is
3:5
6. Explanation:
New funds = 11486 - 9695
= Rs. 1791 crores
Increase in requirement of market borrowing is 1791 crore
Now, 1791 crore is what percent of Market Borrowing
=[(1791)/(29952)]100%=5.98%=6% (approx)
7. Explanation:
Total funds are = 29952+11486+5252+4910+6000
= 57600 crore

Now 20% of 57600 = 20/100 * 576000
= 11520 crore
Which is approximately equal to External Assistance
8. Explanation:
Central angle corresponding to Market Borrowing
[(29952/57600)]360=187.2 degree
9. Amount required = (Funds required from toll) + (10% of these funds)
= 4910 + 10% of (4910)
= 4910 + (10/100)*4910
= 4910 + 491
= 5401 crore
10. Explanation:
Required Ratio=4910/29952=1/6.1=1:6
