Study the given bar graph and answer the question that follows.
The bar graph indicates the production of sugar (in lakh tonnes) by three different sugar companies P, Q and R over the years 2015 to 2019.
By what percentage is the total production of sugar by company P from the year 2015 to 2019 more than the total production of sugar by company R from the year 2015 to 2019?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Total production of sugar by company P from the year 2015 to 2019
= 80 + 70 + 80 + 100 + 120
= 450
Total production of sugar by company R from the year 2015 to 2019
= 50 + 70 + 65 + 90 + 90
= 365
Required percentage = \(\frac{450-365 }{365}\) × 100
= \(\frac{ 85 }{365}\) × 100
= 23.28%
