Preface
The Digi-notes (The Data Interpretation) as presented here is prepared strictly according to IBPSPO, IBPS-Clerk, IBPS-SO and other PO/Clerk level competitive exams. The main aim of the Diginotes is to develop the notion of the Simple Interest so that candidate would be able to handle
the quantitative problems of the real World easily and conveniently and hence in their
competitive exams. Candidates are advised to handle the Digi-notes by keeping in mind that they
are going to learn (NOT STUDY) the Simple Interest so that they, themselves would be able to
minimize the steps required to conclude the answer of the question and hence develop the
SHORT TRICKS.

1. For the year 2005, which company has realised the lowest average unit sales price for a
PC?
Although it seems to be Commodore, the answer cannot be determined due to the fact that we are
unaware of the break-up of the sales value and volume of companies compromising the other
categories.
2. Over the period 2005-2006, if sales (value-wise) of IBM PC's increased by 50% and of Apple
by 15% assuming that PC sales of all the other computer companies remained the same,
by what percentage (approximately) would the PC sales in New York (value-wise) increase
over the same period ?

If we assume the total sales to be 100 in the first year, IBM's sales would go up by 50% (from 28 to
42) contributing an increase of 14 to the total sales value.
Similarly, Apple's increase of 15% would contribute an increase of 2.1 to the total sales value. The
net change would be 14 + 2.1 on 100. (i.e., 16.1%)
3. In 2005, the average unit sale price of an IBM PC was approximately (in US$)
IBM accounts for 28% of the share by value and 10% of the share by volume.
28% of 1650000 = 28 x 1650000/100 = 462000
10% of 1500 = 10 x 1500/100 = 150
Therefore, average unit sale price = 462000/150 = 3080.

1. Near about 20% of the funds are to be arranged through which project?
20% of the total funds to be arranged = Rs.20% of 57600 Cr.Rs.11486
Rs.11486 Cr. is the amount of funds to be arranged through External Assistance
2. If NHAI could receive a total of Rs. 9695 crores as External Assistance, by what percent
(approximately) should it increase the Market Borrowing to arrange the shortage of funds?
Shortage of funds arranged through External Assistance=Rs. (11486 - 9695) crores=Rs. 1791
crores.
Increase required in Market Borrowing = Rs. 1791 crores
Percentage increase required =
