Study carefully the table given below and answer the questions asked here under. In this table, the number (in thousands) of five types of products (A, B, C, D, E) manufactured against their respective year of manufacturing is given.
| Year | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 29 | 45 | 26 | 15 | 32 |
| 2022 | 32 | 52 | 58 | 26 | 35 |
| 2023 | 28 | 54 | 92 | 24 | 39 |
| 2024 | 26 | 58 | 86 | 27 | 34 |
| 2025 | 23 | 63 | 82 | 28 | 34 |
During which of the following years, product B has the lowest percentage of manufacturing with reference to combined manufacturing of that year?
A2021
B2022
C2023 ✓ Correct
D2024
Correct answer: (C) 2023
Explanation
For each year find B as a share of that year's total. 2021 gives 45/147 = 30.6 percent, 2022 gives 52/203 = 25.6 percent, 2023 gives 54/237 = 22.8 percent and 2024 gives 58/231 = 25.1 percent. The smallest share is in 2023, so that is the answer.
