Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 31.9%
Total production of type B cars in 2018, 2020, and 2021 = 42 + 40 + 38 = 120
Total production of type A cars in 2019 and 2021 = 35 + 56 = 91
Required percentage = (120 - 91)/91 × 100 = 2900/91 = 31.868% = 31.9% (Approx.)
