Study the line graph and answer the question that follows The line graph reprensents the number of vehicles (in thousands) manufactured by two automobile companies A and B over the years from 2010. The X -axis represents the years and Y -axis represents of vehicles in thousands. (The data shown here is only for mathematical exercise. They do not represent the actual figures of the country) If there was an increase of 24% in the average number of vehicles (in thousands) manufactured by company B during 2011 to 2014) with respect to number of vehicles manufacured by company A in 2009. then how many vehicles (in thousands) did company A manufacture in 2009?

Correct Answer 225.6
Calculation:
Total number of vehicles manufactured by company B during 2011 to 2014 = 270 + 250 + 289 + 310 = 1119 thousand
The average number of vehicles manufactured by company B during 2011 to 2014 = 1119/4 = 279.75 thousand
Number of vehicles manufactured by company A in 2009 = 279.75 × 100/(100 + 24) = 225.60 thousand
∴ number of vehicles manufactured by company A in 2009 is 225.60 thousand
