Practice Questions for CLAT 2027 Math

Below are two passages with follow-up questions from the previous year's question paper.

Passage 1

The findings of Oxfam India’s latest ‘India Discrimination Report 2022’ indicate that there is a significant gap in the earnings between men and women in the case of regular and self-employment in urban areas. The lower wages for salaried women are due to 67 percent discrimination and 33 percent due to lack of education and work experience. The average earning is Rs.16,000 for men and merely Rs.6,600 for women in urban areas in self-employment. The average earning of men is Rs. 19,800 as against Rs.15,600 for women in regular/salaried employment in urban areas. Also, in urban areas the average earnings of men (Rs.9,000) are significantly higher than women (Rs.5,700) even in casual employment. Apart from women, historically oppressed communities along with religious minorities also continue to face discrimination in accessing jobs, livelihoods, and agricultural credit. The mean income for Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes (“SC/ST”) persons in urban areas who are in regular employment is Rs.15,300 as against Rs.20,300 for persons belonging to the non-SC/ST category. The average earning of self-employed workers is Rs.15,900 for non-SC/STs and Rs.10,500 for SC/STs. The average monthly earning for the SC/ST workers in casual work is Rs. 8,000, below the corresponding figure of Rs. 8,600 for the non-SC/ST.

Q1 Choose the correct option:

1. Women’s average earnings in urban areas in casual work are lower than those of men

2. Men’s average earnings in urban areas in self-employment is nearly 2.5 times that of earnings of women

3. In casual work, women earn more in rural areas than in urban areas

4. The difference in earnings of men and women in regular/salaried employment in urban areas is Rs. 3,500

Q2. Of the regular employed in urban areas, the earnings of a non-SC/ST worker are what percent more than a SC/ST worker?

1. Between 20% and 25%

2. Less than 15%

3. Between 30% and 35%

4. More than 35%

Q3. Of those in casual employment, if a man’s average earnings were deposited at a rate of 16% simple interest for 20 years, in how many years at the same rate of simple interest a SC/ST worker must deposit their average earnings to earn the same amount as a man in 20 years?

1. 24 years

2. 22.5 years

3. 21 years

4. 23.2 years

Q4. The findings also indicate discrimination as a driving factor behind low Women’s Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) in the country. As per the Union Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI), LFPR for women in India was only 25.1 percent in 2020-21 for urban and rural women. This is considerably lower than South Africa, where the LFPR for women is 46 percent in 2021, as per the latest World Bank estimates. The LFPR for women in India has rapidly declined from 42.7 percent in 2004-05 to mere 25.1 percent in 2020-2021 showing the withdrawal of women from the workforce despite rapid economic growth during the same period. In 2019-20, 60 percent of all males aged 15 years and more have regular salaried and self-employed jobs while 19 percent of all similarly aged females get regular and self-employment. Use the additional data in the passage above to answer this and the next question. If the number of women in India in 2020-2021 is 670 million which is 24% more than in 2004-2005, what is the difference in the number of women in LFPR 2004-05 and 2021?

1. Less than 5 crores

2. Between 6 and 8 crores

3. Between 10 and 12 crores

4. More than 15 crores

Q5. In 2019-20, if the number of males aged 15 years and more is 76% of the total male population, and the number of females aged 15 years and more is 72% of the total female population, and the total male population is 1.05 times the total female population, what is the ratio of females to males aged 15 years and more who have regular salaried and self-employed jobs?

1. 2:7

2. 3:10

3. 5:9

4. 1:3
