The percentage increase in the sales in 2013 over the previous year was the maximum for which of the categories of vehicles?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Passenger vehicles.
Two-wheelers = [(13.8 - 13.4)/13.4] × 100 = (0.4/13.4) × 100 = 2.99%
Passenger vehicles = [(2.7 - 2.6)/2.6] × 100 = (0.1/2.6) × 100 = 3.85%
Commercial vehicles = Sales decreased in 2013 from 2012
Therefore, the maximum percentage increase in sales in 2013 was for Passenger vehicles.
