Which type of car constituted 25% of the total production of all types of cars in 1993?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. S.

According to the given table, 

Total production of cars in 1993 = 80

1. For type P cars,

Production in 1993 = 21

Percentage of type P cars in 1993 to total production = 2180×100{21 \over 80} \times 100 = 26.25%

2. For type Q cars,

Production in 1993 = 12

Percentage of type Q cars in 1993 to total production = 1280×100{12 \over 80} \times 100 = 15%

3. For type R cars,

Production in 1993 = 13

Percentage of type R cars in 1993 to total production = 1380×100{13 \over 80} \times 100 = 16.25%

4. For type S cars,

Production in 1993 = 20

Percentage of type P cars in 1993 to total production = 2080×100{20 \over 80} \times 100 = 25%

Hence type S of car constituted 25% of the total production of all types of cars in 1993.
