Question:

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.

Options:

Only II

Neither I nor II

Both I and II

Only I

Correct Answer:

Only II

Explanation:

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.

ANs :- Only II
