Wall hangings

Correct Answer:

Curtains

Explanation:

Lets solve one by one for each option.

1. Curtains

Increase in sale from 2018 to 2019 = \(\frac{12.21 - 7.88 }{7.88 }\) × 100

= \(\frac{ 4.33 }{7.88 }\) × 100

= 54.94%

= 55%  ( approx )

2. Bed sheets

Increase in sale from 2018 to 2019 = \(\frac{48.17 - 20.15 }{20.15 }\) × 100

= \(\frac{ 28.02 }{20.15 }\) × 100

= 13.9%

3. Wall stickers

Increase in sale from 2018 to 2019 = \(\frac{10.19 - 5.01 }{5.01 }\) × 100

= \(\frac{ 5.18 }{5.01 }\) × 100

= 103.39%

4. Wall hangings

Increase in sale from 2018 to 2019 = \(\frac{29.14 - 14.97 }{14.97 }\) × 100

= \(\frac{14.17 }{14.97 }\) × 100

= 94.65%

Ans :- Curtains
