Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 28%.
Given that
The average salary to a delivery partner in Emazon = 21000
Total amount allocated = 13.44 crores

Average = sum of observations / total number of observations
Let the number of delivery partners in 2022 be n
Hence, 21000 =

The increase in the number of delivery partners from the previous year = 6400 - 5000 = 1400
Percentage increase = × 100 = 28%
