Medicines of three different flavors - A, B and C (in lakh bottles) manufactured by a pharmaceutical company over a period of five years from 2010 to 2014 is given in the bar graph.  Production of flavor A in 2012 is what percent less than the average production of flavor B in all the years (correct to 2 decimal places)? Correct Answer 5.66

Calculation:

Production of flavor A in 2012 = 50

Total number of production of flavor B in all the years = (70 + 40 + 50 + 40 + 65)

⇒ 265

Average production of flavor B in all the years = (265/5) = 53

According to the question

Required percent =

⇒ (3/53 × 100)

⇒ (300/53)

⇒ 5.66%

∴ The required percent is 5.66
