The following table gives the sales of batteries manufactured by a company over the years.

The total sales of all the seven years is the maximum for which battery?

The total sales of all the seven years is the maximum for which battery?

A.

4AH

B.

7AH

C.

32AH

D.

35AH

Correct answer is C

The total sales (in thousands) of all the seven years for various batteries are:

For 4AH = 75 + 90 + 96 + 105 + 90 + 105 + 115 = 676

For 7AH = 144 + 126 + 114 + 90 + 75 + 60 + 85 = 694

For 32AH = 114 + 102 + 75 + 150 + 135 + 165 + 160 = 901

For 35AH = 102 + 84 + 105 + 90 + 75 + 45 + 100 = 601

For 55AH = 108 + 126 + 135 + 75 + 90 + 120 + 145 = 799.

Clearly, sales are maximum in case of 32AH batteries.
