S1. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Total children born in the year 2013 in all the three states
=100/25×70,000
=2,80,000
∴ Children born in UP in 2013
= 30% of 280000 
= 84,000
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Average of percentage of children in UP 
=1/6×(35+25+30+45+45+35)
=215/6
Average of percentage of children born in Gujrat 
=1/6×(25+40+25+25+30+40)
=185/6
∴Required answer=215/185
≃1.16
S3. Ans.(a)

=2,00,000
∴ Required answer=45/100×2,00,000
=90,000
S4. Ans.(d)

S9. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Let A, B and C have amount 4x, 5x and 6x respectively. 
A’s total amount → 4x + x + x 
= 6x
B’s total amount → 5x – x – x
= 3x
C’s total amount → 6x + x – x
= 6x
∴ Required ratio = 6 : 3 : 6 
= 2 : 1 : 2
