Correct Answer: 47
Solution :
From 2006 to 2008,
In 2006, the number of candidates qualified in Science = 40% of 780 = 312
In 2007, the number of candidates qualified in Science = 42% of 650 = 273
In 2008, the number of candidates qualified in Science = 45% of 500 = 225
$\therefore$ The average number of candidates qualified in Science from 2006 to 2008 = $\frac{312 + 273 + 225}{3}$ = 270
From 2009 to 2011,
In 2009, the number of candidates qualified in Science = 45% of 620 = 279
In 2010, the number of candidates qualified in Science = 35% of 900 = 315
In 2011, the number of candidates qualified in Science = 42% of 850 = 357
$\therefore$ The average number of candidates qualified in Science from 2009 to 2011 = $\frac{279 + 315 + 357}{3}$ = 317
$\therefore$ The difference in the average number of candidates qualified in Science discipline per year from 2006 to 2008 and from 2009 to 2011 = 317 – 270 = 47
Hence, the correct answer is 47.

Question : Direction: The table given below represents the production and sales of wheat in 4 different countries A, B, C, and D for 4 years. At the end of the year 2010 A, B, C, and D had a stock of 5200, 3500, 7835, and 1956 (in '000 quintals) of wheat respectively. For any given year, the stock of wheat is calculated as:
The stock of year $(n+1)$ = stock at end of year $n$ + production in year $(n+1)$ – sales in year $(n+1)$ and, Surplus of year $n$ = production in year $n$ – sales in year $n$
The stock of year $(n+1)$ = stock at end of year $n$ + production in year $(n+1)$ – sales in year $(n+1)$ and, Surplus of year $n$ = production in year $n$ – sales in year $n$
