The line chart given below shows production of sugar by two companies A and B in 5 years.
Which of the following statement is correct?
I. The production of sugar by A in years J and K together is 7.69 percent more the production of sugar by B in year L and M together.
II. The ratio of combined production of sugar by B in years M and N to the combined production of sugar by A in years K and L is 21 : 16.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
I. The production of sugar by A in years J and K together is 7.69 percent more the production of sugar by B in year L and M together.
Production of A by J & K = 70 + 50 = 120
Production of B in L & M = 70 + 60 = 130
Required percentage = \(\frac{120 - 130}{130}\) × 100
= - 7.69%
Production in A in J & K is 7.69% less than production by B in L & M
Statement I is not correct.
II. The ratio of combined production of sugar by B in years M and N to the combined production of sugar by A in years K and L is 21 : 16.
Production of B in M & N : Production of A in K & L
( 60 + 45 ) : ( 50 + 30 )
105 : 80
21 : 16
Statement II is correct.
