Question:

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)?

Options:

3.87

4.66

6.98

5.66

Correct Answer:

5.66

Explanation:

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%
