Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 80%.

The total number of soaps sold by companies Q and S together in May = 1540 + 1736 = 3276

The number of soaps sold by company P in July = 1820

Difference = 3276 - 1820 = 1456

Required percentage = 1456/1820 × 100 = 80%
