Total number of females in all zones of Genpact in 2019
Google and Genpact = (3/5) × 21350 = 12,810
= 8540 + 17640 = 26,180 Total number of employees in Infosys in
I. 2. Total number of employees in TCS in 2019

I. 1. Number of people affected by flood in Therefore, required percentage
Allappuzha = [(2100 – 1680)/2100] × 100
= 0.22 × 24500 = 5390 = 20%
Number of people affected by flood in I. 3. Number of people affected by flood in
Pathanmathitta Allappuzha
= 0.2 × 24500 = 4900 = 0.22 × 24500 = 5390
Number of people affected by flood in Number of people affected by flood in
Idukki Ernakulam
= 0.24 × 24500 = 5880 = 0.16 × 24500 = 3920
Therefore, required average Number of people affected by flood in
= (5390 + 4900 + 5880)/3 = 5390 Pathanmathitta
I. 2. Number of people affected by flood in = 0.2 × 24500 = 4900
Ernakulam Number of people affected by flood in
= 0.16 × 24500 = 3920 Idukki =
Number of people affected by flood in 0.24 × 24500 = 5880
Pathanmathitta I. 4. Number of people affected by flood in
= 0.2 × 24500 = 4900 Thrissur
So, number of females affected by flood in = 0.18 × 24500 = 4410
Ernakulam Number of people affected by flood in
= (3/7) × 3920 = 1680 Idukki
Number of females affected by flood in = 0.24 × 24500 = 5880
Pathanmathitta Therefore, required ratio
= (3/7) × 4900 = 2100 = 4410: 5880 = 3: 4

Explanation
Multiple Bar Graph I. 4. Rationale:
I. 2. Rationale: Highest score is in the Education indicator,
scored by Thailand – 5.2
The correct answer is (c).
Percentage – 5.2 / 7 * 100 = 74.29%
Average score for Education
Lowest score is in the Fiscal Transfers
(3.4 + 4.7 + 2.9 + 4.0 + 5.2 + 4.7) / 6 = 4.15
indicator, scored by India – 2.7
Average score for Employment
Percentage – 2.7 / 7 * 100 = 38.57%
(3.1 + 3.7 + 4.6 + 4.0 + 4.1 + 4.7) / 6 = 4.03
I. 5. Rationale:
Average score for Asset Building
India’s score: Lowest in Fiscal Transfers –
(3.0 + 3.4 + 3.1 + 3.3 + 3.6 + 4.0) / 6 = 3.40 2.7; Highest in Corruption/Rent – 4.0.
Average score for Financial Intermediation Therefore, difference = 4.0 – 2.7 = 1.3
(3.3 + 3.3 + 3.4 + 3.2 + 4.3 + 2.8) / 6 = 3.38 Indonesia’s score: Lowest in Financial
Average score for Corruption/Rent Intermediation – 3.3; Highest in Education
(4.0 + 4.0 + 4.0 + 3.7 + 3.5 + 4.1) / 6 = 3.88 – 4.7
Average score for Basic Services Therefore, difference = 4.7 – 3.3 = 1.4
(3.8 + 4.4 + 3.5 + 4.4 + 5.0 + 4.4) / 6 Laos PDR’s score: Lowest in Education –
= 4.25 - Highest 2.9; Highest in Employment – 4.6
Average score for Fiscal Transfers Therefore, difference = 4.6 – 2.9 = 1.7
(2.7 + 3.4 + 3.2 + 3.5 + 3.6 + 3.4) / 6 Philippines’ score: Lowest in Financial
= 3.30 - Lowest Intermediation – 3.2; Highest in Basic
Services – 4.4
I. 3. Rationale:
Therefore, difference = 4.4 – 3.2 = 1.2
Employment – Percent score
Thailand’s score: Lowest in Corruption/
India – (3.1 / 7) * 100 = 44.29%
Rent – 3.5; Highest in Education – 5.2
Indonesia – (3.7 / 7) * 100 = 52.86%
Therefore, difference = 5.2 – 3.5 = 1.7
Laos PDR – (4.6 / 7) * 100 = 65.71%
Vietnam’s score: Lowest in Financial
Philippines – (4.0 / 7) * 100 = 57.14% Intermediation – 2.8; Highest in Education/
Thailand – (4.1 / 7) * 100 = 58.57% Employment – 4.7
Vietnam – (4.7 / 7) * 100 = 67.14% Therefore, difference = 4.7 – 2.8 = 1.9
