Gilchirst scored 12 runs in 1s and 60 runs in 2s.

For these runs, he has played 12 + 30 = 42 balls
Total balls played for 148 runs = 42 + 17 = 59 balls
Total number of dot balls = 104 59 = 45 balls.

12. c

Hence, percentage growth is least for higher secondary

level books, viz. 26%.

13. b

Again referring to the above table, we can see that

the percentage growth rate is maximum for secondary
level books, viz. 127%.

14. d

15. a

It can be seen from the given table that primary level

books have shown a consistent growth except for
the year 1978 when it had declined. On the other
hand, even secondary and higher secondary level
books have shown a consistent growth except for
the year 1978 when it had declined. But the graduate
level books have shown a consistent growth over the
period.
Average book sold in year 1977

16. c

In 1994-95:
Actual demand = 190 thousand
Actual production = 190 thousand
Demand supply gap is zero.

17. d

All are true.

18. a

Average actual production

150 + 155 + 165 + 175 + 190 835
=
=
= 167
5
5
Average actual production is 167000 pairs.

19. b

New demand is 114% of 175000 = 199500 pairs.

So, demand supply gap
= 199500 175000 = 24500 pairs.

20. d

Actual demand in 1995-96 is 110% of 190

= 209 thousand pairs
Actual production in year 1995-96 is 85% of 190
= 161.5 thousand pairs
So, (Demand Supply) = (209 161.5) 1000
= 47.5 1000 = 47500 pairs.

22. b

Runs scored by Clarke in 4s = 11 4 = 44

Runs scored by him in 6s = 3 6 = 18
Total runs scored in 4s and 6s = 44 + 18 = 62
Remaining runs = 81 62 = 19
By taking 1s or 2s he has scored these 19 runs. To
minimize the number of balls, Clarke has to score more
run by taking 2s. So, he can score 18 runs by taking
2s and rest 1 run by taking a 1.
Total number of balls faced for 19 runs = 9 + 1 = 10
Minimum number of balls faced = 11 + 3 + 10 = 24 balls.

23. c

Runs scored by Symonds in 4s = 2 4 = 8

Number of dot balls = 6
Remaining balls = 21 (2 + 6) = 13
So, to maximize his score in 13 balls, Symonds can
take 7 runs in 1s runs and 6 runs in 2s. So, he can
score a maximum of 8 + 7 1 + 6 2 = 27 runs.

24. d

In order to find the minimum score of team, we have to

find the minimum runs scored by Symonds.
Minimum runs scored by Symonds
= 2 4 + 1 12 + 2 1 = 22
Minimum score of the team
= 148 + 40 + 37 + 22 + 13 + 81 = 341.

25. b

In order to find the maximum possible run rate, we

have to find the maximum runs scored and minimum
balls faced by the team. For this, we have to find the
minimum number of balls faced by M.Clarke and
maximum runs scored by A.Symonds.
Minimum number of balls faced by M.Clarke = 24
Maximum runs scored by A. Symonds = 2 12 + 1 1
+ 4 2 = 33
Maximum runs scored by the team
= 148 + 40 + 37 + 33 + 13 + 81 = 352
Minimum number of balls faced by the team
= 104 + 55 + 42 + 21 + 5 + 24 = 251 balls or 41.5 overs
352
Maximum net run rate =
= 8.48.

Runs scored by Gilchrist in 4s = 13 4 = 52

Runs scored by him in 6s = 4 6 = 24
(As out of the remaining 5 sixes, maximum 4 are by
Gilchrist.)
Total runs scored in 4s & 6s = 52 +24 = 76
For these runs, we has played = 13 + 4 = 17 balls
Remaining runs scored in 1s & 2s = 148 76 = 72

Among the given options, 2003 can be ruled out

because the net domestic production decreases in
that year.
Thus, change in 2002
= 66.67 55 = 11.67 million tonnes
Change in 2004
= 75 50 = 25 million tonnes
Change in 2005

Hence, the year 2005 witnessed the least rise in the
