| 2002 | 130 | 200 |
| 2003 | 150 | 216 |
From 2001 to 2003, the total sale of bicycles B1 is what percent of the total sale of bicycles B2?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 62.5%.
Total sales of B1 bicycles = 95 + 130 + 150 = 375 lakhs
Total sales of B2 bicycles =184 + 200 + 216 = 600 lakhs
Required percentage = (375/600) × 100 = 62.5%
Therefore, from 2001 to 2003, the total sale of bicycles B1 is 62.5% of the total sale of bicycles B2.
