The average number of all types of vehicles exported by the company in 2016 is approximately what percent less than the number of type B exported in 2017?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 16%

Application

Fair calculation

Average of all types of vehicle exported in 2016 = (25 + 40 + 45 + 47.5 + 52.5)/5 = 210/5 = 42 lacs

Number of type B vehicle exported in 2017 = 50 lacs

Required percentage = [(50 – 42)/50] × 100 = 16%

[(50 – 42)/50] × 100

= 80/5 = 16%
