A.
1994
B.
1995
C.
1996
D.
1997
Correct answer is D
The percentages of sales of 4AH batteries to the total sales in different years are:
For 1992 = ( 75/543 x 100 ) % = 13.81%
For 1993 = ( 90/528 x 100 ) % = 17.05%
For 1994 = ( 96/525 x 100 ) % = 18.29%
For 1995 = ( 105/510 x 100 ) % = 20.59%
For 1996 = ( 96/465 x 100 ) % = 19.35%
For 1997 = ( 105/495 x 100 ) % = 21.21%
For 1998 = ( 115/605 x 100 ) % = 19.01%
Clearly, the percentage is maximum in 1997.
