A management institute was established on January 1, 2000 with 3, 4, 5, and 6 faculty members in the Marketing, Organisational Behaviour (OB), Finance, and Operations Management (OM) areas respectively, to start with. No faculty member retired or joined the institute in the first three months of the year 2000. In the next four years, the institute recruited one faculty member in each of the four areas.

Compared to the performance in 1985 (i.e. taking it as the base), what can you say about the performances in the years ’84, ’85, ’86, ’87, ’88 respectively, in percentage terms?
Thus we see that (c) cannot be the answer. Also (b) cannot be the answer as it shows two of the years having less than 100%.
Between options (a) and (d), the correct answer is (a), This is so because the difference between the 1985 and 1988 performance is only 2 units on 67 units. Hence percentage wise it has to be 97% and not 68%.
Which is the year in which the highest percentage decline is seen in the value of contract secured compared to the preceding year?
It is nearest to actual man-hours of offshore testing which is 280 (approximately.)
Looking at the effort in B and then ranking in ascending order we find that the company 3 ranks third.
Thus we see that (c) cannot be the answer. Also (b) cannot be the answer as it shows two of the years having less than 100%.
