Correct Answer 55.2

Total production of type E cars in 2012 and 2013 = 47 + 43 = 90

total production of type A cars during the years 2012 to 2016 = 54 + 58 + 60 + 63 + 55 = 290

Average production of type A cars during the years 2012 to 2016 = 290/5 = 58

∴ Required percentage = × 100 = 55.2% (Approx)
