5.  C and D are sisters. A and B are brothers. E is son of A and brother of D. B is related to C as

• Brother
• Son
• Uncle
• Father-in-law

Clearly, B is the brother of A; A's son is D's brother. This means D is the daughter of A. Since C and D are sisters, C is also the daughter of A. So, B is the uncle of C.

Consider the following two tables (I and II) that show the percentage of students in each faculty at University and the number of foreign students in the Science faculty.

These percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole number. There are a total of 1049 students in the science faculty. Study these tables I and II and answer the questions that follow (Questions 6-8) :

I. Students Faculty Wise :-

Name of Faculty and % of Students

Computing – 22%

Business – 14%

Science – 23%

Engineering – 9%

Arts – 21%

Medicine – 5%

Law – 6%

II. Foreign Students in Science Faculty :-

Foreign Students and Number of Science Students

American – 79

Australian – 4

African – 2

Chinese – 6

European – 21

6. Approximately, what percentage of students in the Science faculty is that of foreign students?

• 14%
• 9%
• 30%
• 11%

Total number of students in Science Faculty = 1049

Number of  foreign students in the Science Faculty = 79 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 21 = 112

∴ Percentage of foreign students in the Science Faculty = (112/1049)×100 = 10.67%.

10.67% is closest to 11% .

7. Approximately, how many students belong to the Engineering faculty?

• 420
• 410
• 390
• 400

Number of students in Science Faculty = 1049

% of students in Science Faculty = 23%

Total number of students at the University = (1049 × 100)/23 = 4560 (approx)

Number of students in the Engineering faculty = 9% × 4560 ≈ 410

8. In case, there are 34 European medical students, then approximately, what is their percentage in the medicine faculty?

• 13%
• 18%
• 12%
• 15%

Total number of students in the Medicine faculty = (1049×5)/23 = 228 (after round off).Number of European medical students = 34∴ Percentage of faculty it represent =(34×100)/228 = 14.91% Now as per the option: 14.91% is closest to 15% 

 9.Which of the following are statutory bodies ?
   (a) Election Commission of India
   (b) University Grants Commission (UGC)
   (c) All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)
   (d) National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)

Select the correct answer from the codes given below :

Codes :

• (a), (b) and (c)
• (b), (c) and (d)
• (b) and (c)
• (b) and (d)
