Answers
1).  c Required difference
= (8+7+4+22+9+9)/6
- (6.75+5.75+4+23+8+8)/6
= (59/6) – (55.5/6) = (3.5/6) = 0.58
         
2). d Required ratio =(6.75+8.65+8.25+8)/(5.75+7.5+7.25+7)
= (31.5/27.5) = (63/55) = 63:55

3). d Required % = (6.75+8.5+8.25+8) / (23+22.5+23.5+22) ×100
= (31.5/91)×100 = (3150/91) = 34.6%

4). c Sum of rates in Q3 = 8.25+7.25+4.5+23.5+8.75+8.75 = 61
Sum of rates in Q1 = 6.75+5.75+4+23+8+8 = 55.5
Required % = (61/55.5)×100 = 109.90 = 110%

5). b Required sum = (8+8.5+8.75+9)/4 + (8+8.5+8.75+9)/4 = 2(8+8.5+8.75+9)/4
= (34.25/2) = 17.125
