# Difficult Bar Charts Solved QuestionData Interpretation Discussion

Common Information

The bar charts given below shows the details of the "Budgeted I-Tax" collections and the "Actual I-Tax" collections of India in each of the years from 2004-05 to 2008-09. Bar Chart-I shows the details of the Total I-Tax collections and bar chart-II shows the details of the Corporate I-Tax collections.

There are only two categories of taxpayers in India "Individual Taxpayers" and "Corporate Taxpayers". All the figures are in Rs. crores.

$\text{Efficacy Ratio} = \left(\dfrac{\text{Budgeted I -Tax Collections}}{\text{Actual I - Tax Collections}}\right)$

 Q. Common Information Question: 2/4 For how many of the given years the Efficacy Ratio of at least two out of "Total I-Tax" collections, "Corporate I-Tax" collections and "Individual I-Tax" collections is greater than 1?
 ✖ A. 0 ✖ B. 1 ✔ C. 2 ✖ D. 3 ✖ E. Data Insufficient

Solution:
Option(C) is correct

For the year $2005-06$ and $2008-09$:

Table below can be scrolled horizontally

 Efficacy Ratio Total Corporate Individual 2004-05 0.96 0.98 0.89 2005-06 1.03 0.98 1.5 2006-07 0.98 1.01 0.79 2007-08 0.96 0.99 0.86 2008-09 1.02 1.12 0.79

Alternate method:

2004 - 05: By visual inspection for both "Total I-Tax" and "Corporate I-Tax" efficacy ratio is less than one, hence we need not check for "Individual I-Tax".

2005 - 06: Similarly, efficacy ratio of "Total I-Tax" collections is more than one but for "Corporate I-Tax" it is less than one, calculating for "Individual I-Tax" it comes out to be more than one.

2006 - 07: Similarly efficacy ratio of "Corporate I-Tax" is more than one but that of "Total I-Tax" collection is less than one. The same value for "Individual I-Tax" comes out to be less than one.

2007 - 08: By visual inspection for both "Total I-Tax" and "Corporate I-Tax" efficacy ratio is less than one, hence we need not check for "Individual I-Tax".

2008 - 09: Similarly by visual inspection for both "Total I-Tax" and "Corporate I-Tax", efficacy ratio is greater than one.
