The following graph shows the production of cotton cloth (in lakh metres) by three companies A, B and C over the years 1996 - 2000. The production of company A during 1996-98 is what percentage of the average production of companies B and C during 1998-2000 (correct to two decimal places)? Correct Answer 57.24%
Given:
There is the production of cotton cloth (in lakh metres) by three companies A, B, and C over 1996 - 2000.
Calculation:
The production of company A during 1996-98 (in lakh metres) = 24 + 29 + 34 = 87
The production of companies B and C during 1998-2000 (in lakh metres) = (38 + 49 + 55) + (59 + 51 + 52)
= 142 + 162
= 304
The average production of companies B and C during 1998-2000 (in lakh metres) = 304/2 = 152
The percentage = (87/152) × 100 = 57.2368....% ≈ 57.24%
∴ The production of company A during 1996-98 is 57.24% of the average production of companies B and C during 1998-2000 (correct to two decimal places)
