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)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Average production of B = \(\frac{70 + 40 + 50 + 40 + 65 }{5}\)
= 53
Production of A in 2012 = 50
Required percentage = \(\frac{53 - 50}{53}\) × 100
= \(\frac{3}{53}\) × 100
= 5.66%
