The bar graph given below shows the percentage distribution of the total production of a car manufacturing company into various models over two years.
Percentage of Six different types of Cars manufactured by a Company over Two Years
For which model is the percentage rise/fall in production from 2000 to 2001 the minimum?
Q
R
S
T
Correct answer is B
The percentage change (rise/fall) in production from 2000 to 2001 for various models is:
For P = [ (176000 - 105000)/105000 x 100 ] % = 67.62%, rise.
For Q = [ (88000 - 52500)/52500 x 100 ] % = 67.62%, rise.
For R = [ (70000 - 66000)/70000 x 100 ] % = 5.71%, fall.
For S = [ (44000 - 35000)/35000 x 100 ] % = 25.71%, rise.
For T = [ (52500 - 44000)/52500 x 100 ] % = 16.19%, fall.
For U = [ (35000 - 22000)/35000 x 100 ] % = 37.14%, fall.
Therefore Minimum percentage rise/fall in production is the case of model R.
