Options:

1,23,000

1,32,000

3,12,000

2,13,000

Correct Answer:

1,23,000

Explanation:

Combined Strawberry, other and Butterscotch sales in  2019

= 15.70% + 18.90% + 10.80%

= 45.4%

combined Strawberry, other and Butterscotch sales in 2020

= 20.60% + 20.50% + 16.60%

= 57.7%

Combined increase in sale of Strawberry, other and Butterscotch sales from 2019 to 2020

= 57.7% - 45.4%

= 12.3%

ATQ ,

1% increase in sale = Additional sale of Rs.10000

So , with increase in 12.3% sale , Additional sale is = 12.3 × 10000

= 123000
