Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 490

The increase in the production of Type A vehiv]cles in 2018 in compariso to its previous year = (420−360)360×100{(420 - 360) \over 360} \times 100 = 60360×100{60 \over 360} \times 100 = 16.67%

Now, the number (in thousands) of vehicles of type A produced in 2019 = 116.67100×420{116.67 \over 100} \times 420  = 490
