Solutions:

Solutions for Question (1 – 5):

Answer.1. 5;
Number of participants (athletes) from Country C:
In year 2006 ⇒ (6.9 + 3.3) × 100 = 1020
In year 2008 ⇒ (6.6 + 4.2) × 100 = 1080
In year 2009 ⇒ (7.9 + 6.3) × 100 = 1420
In year 2010 ⇒ (10.8 + 6.9) × 100 = 1770.

Answer.2. 3;
Required average number of female athletes = (4.2 + 6.2 + 4.8 + 8.4 + 5.2 + 7.2) x 100/6
= 600

Answer.3. 2; 
Percentage decrease = (6.9 – 4.8) x100 /6.9 = 30%

Answer.4. 2;
Required Percentage = 9.2 x 100/(11.4 + 8.4)
= 9.2 / 19.8 = 46%

Answer.5. 5;
Difference between the number of male and female participants:
Country A ⇒ (6.6 – 4.2) × 100 = 240
Country B ⇒ (8.4 – 6.2) × 100 = 220
Country C ⇒ (6.9 – 3.3) × 100 = 360
Country D ⇒ (8.4 – 6.3) × 100 = 210
Country E ⇒ (7.8 – 5.2) × 100 = 260.

Solutions for Question (6 – 10):

Number of candidates with experience in Rural Areas: 
In Public Sector Banks only = 450

In Private Sector Banks only = 15000 x 2/100 = 300
Number of candidates with experience in urban areas:

In Public Sector Banks only = 15000 x 25/ 100 = 3750

In Private Sector Banks = 15000 x 12/100 = 1800

Candidates working in Public Sector Banks in both rural and urban areas = 3600

Candidates worked in: 
Both Public and Private Banks in Urban areas = 15000 x 15/100 = 2250

Public and Private Banks in Rural areas = 600
Candidates without experience = 15000 -12750 = 2250

Answer.6. 2; 
Required number of candidates = 450 + 300 + 3600 + 600 = 4950

Answer.7. 4; 
Required number of candidates = 450 + 3750 + 3600 + 2250 + 600 = 10650

Answer.8. 2; 
Required Ratio = 450 : 300 = 3 : 2

Answer.9. 3; 
Required number of candidates = 1800 + 2250 = 4050

Answer.10. 5;
Required percentage = 2250 x 100/10650 = 21.13 % Approx.
