The table below shows the number of employees of companies A, B and C for given 4 years.  Study the table and answer the following questions.

Find the percentage increase in number of employees of company A, B and C from 2013 - 2014 to 2014 - 2015 and choose the correct relation as per the option given below according to their increased percentage.

Options:

A > B > C

B > A > C

B > C > A

C > B > A

Correct Answer:

B > C > A

Explanation:

In Company A (from 2013 - 2014 to 2014 - 2015):

Difference between no. of employees = 176 - 166 = 10

Percentage increase = \(\frac{(10)}{166}\) × 100 = 6.02%

 

In Company B (from 2013 - 2014 to 2014 - 2015):

Difference between no. of employees = 150 - 130 = 20

Percentage increase = \(\frac{(20)}{130}\) × 100 = 15.38%

 

In Company C (from 2013 - 2014 to 2014 - 2015):

Difference between no. of employees = 155 - 145 = 10

Percentage increase = \(\frac{(10)}{145}\) × 100 = 6.89%

Hence,

Correct relation is = B > C > A
