Production of three different flavours A, B and (in lakh bottles) by a company over five years.

What was the approximate percentage decline in the production of flavour A in 2013 as compared to the production of flavour A in 2011?

Options:

30%

24%

20%

25%

Correct Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Production of flavour A in 2013 = 45

Production of flavour A in 2011 = 60

Percentage decline in production of A in 2013 as compared to 2011

= \(\frac{60-45}{60}\) × 100

= \(\frac{15 }{60}\) × 100

= 25%
