Solution
1.Total number of operators who left the company during 1995-2000
= (104 + 120 + 100 + 112 +144) = 580
Total number of operators who joined the company during 1995-2000
= (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248) = 2024
so, required% = (580/2024) × 100 = 29% (approx)

2.Number of Managers working in the company:
In 1995 = 760
In 2000 = (760+280+179+148+160+193)  ̶   (120+92+88+72+96) = 1252
so, percentage increase in the number of Managers = [(1252  ̶  760)/760] × 100 = 64.74%
Number of Technicians working in the company:
In 1995 = 1200
In 2000 = (1200+272+240+236+256+288)  ̶  (120+128+96+100+112) = 1936
Percentage increase in number of Technicians = [(1936  ̶  1200)/1200] × 100 = 61.33%
Number of Operators working in the company:
In 1995 = 880
In 2000 = (880+256+240+208+192+248)  ̶  (104+120+100+112+144) = 1444
Percentage increase in number of Operators = [(1444  ̶  880)/880] × 100 = 64.09%
Number of Accountants working in the company:
In 1995 = 1160
In 2000 = (1160+200+224+248+272+260)  ̶  (100+104+96+88+92) = 1884
Percentage increase in number of Accountants = [(1884  ̶  1160)/1160] × 100 = 62.41%
Number of Peons working in the company:
In 1995 = 820
In 2000 = (820+184+152+196+224+200)  ̶  (96+88+80+120+104) = 1288
Percentage increase in number of Peons = [(1288  ̶  820)/820] × 100 = 57.07%
clearly, the percentage increase is maximum in case of Managers.

3.Required difference = (272+240+236+256+288)  ̶  (200+224+248+272+260) = 88

4.Total number of Peons working in the company in 1999
= (820+184+152+196+224)  ̶  (96+88+80+120) = 1192

5.Total number of employees of various categories working in the company in 1997 are:
Managers = (760+280+179)  ̶  (120+92) = 1007
Technicians = (1200+272+240)  ̶  (120+128) = 1464
Operators = (880+256+240)  ̶  (104+120) = 1152
Accountants = (1160+200+224)  ̶  (100+104) = 1380
Peons = (820+184+152)  ̶  (96+88) = 972
so, pooled average in 1997 = 1/5 (1007+1464+1152+1380+972) = 1195

6.We have 40% of 50 = (40/100) × 50 = 20
so, required number = Number of students scoring less than 20 marks in aggregate
                                 = 100  ̶   number of students scoring 20 and above marks in aggregate
                                 = 100   ̶   73 = 27

7.We have 60% of 50 = (60/100) × 50 = 30
so, required number = Number of students scoring 30 and above marks in Physics = 32

8.Required difference
= (Number of students scoring 30 and above marks in Chemistry)   ̶   (Number of students scoring 30 and above marks in aggregate)
= 27   ̶  21 = 6

9.Number of students getting at least 60% marks in Chemistry
= Number of students getting 30 and above marks in Chemistry = 21
Number of students getting at least 40% marks in aggregate = Number of students getting 20 and above marks in aggregate = 73
so, required% = (21/73) × 100 = 29% (approx)

10.Since 66 students get 20 and above marks in Chemistry and out of these 21 students get 30 and above marks, therefore to select top 35 students in Chemistry, the qualifying marks should lie in the range 20-30.
