b. 41.12
c. 41.36
d. 41.21
2. If the coal supplied to the cement industry had been 10% more than original value in 1994-95, then how many additional million tones of cement would have been produced?
a. 4.036
b. 4.112
c. 4.136

Ans 1) B
Coal required for one ton cement = o.25 tonne
For 10.28 coal cement produced = 10.28/0.25 = 41.12
Ans 2) B
If we increase 10% coal supply; cement production will also increase by 10% i.e. 41.12 * 0.1 = 4.112
Ans 3) A
overhead = 2.5 % of total cost
So overhead for 1 tonne cement = 8500 * 2.5/100 = 212.5
For 500 kg cement overhead will be half = 212.5/2 = 106.25
Ans 4) Incomplete statement???

I think question number 4 is looking for the contribution of consumables to the production cost of 500 kg of cement, in which case it’ll be 212.50.
But the contention starts when we look at option 3, which equals the contribution of consumables to the production cost of 250 kg of cement. So we clearly need more info here.
