Direction: For the next items, consider the following data with regard to different types (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) of multivitamin tablets produced in a company (in lakhs):
2000: 160, 80, 70, 90, 75
2001: 200, 150, 85, 160, 100
2002: 135, 35, 44, 95, 85
2003: 240, 95, 120, 80, 120
2004: 180, 110, 85, 95, 115
2005: 210, 150, 100, 92, 110
The ratio of percentage drop in total production in 2004 compared to 2001 to that in 2000 compared to 2001, is
Elementary MathematicsPercentages
- A1/3
- B1/4
- C1/2
- D1/5
Explanation
Percentage drop in 2004 vs 2001 = (695 − 585)/695 = 110/695. Percentage drop in 2000 vs 2001 = (695 − 475)/695 = 220/695. The required ratio is 110/220 = 1/2. Hence option C.
