Percentage distribution of production of five car types A–E in 2019 and 2020. Totals: 4,50,000 (2019), 5,20,000 (2020).
| Type | 2019 (%) | 2020 (%) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 15 | 10 |
| B | 25 | 30 |
| C | 30 | 25 |
| D | 10 | 25 |
| E | 20 | 10 |
If the number of Type-A cars manufactured in 2020 was the same as that of 2019, what would have been its approximate percentage share in the total production of 2020?
A11%
B13% ✓ Correct
C15%
D9%
Correct answer: (B) 13%
Explanation
The answer is about 13 percent.
Type-A in 2019 is 15 percent of 4,50,000, which is 67500.
The 2020 total production is 5,20,000.
So the share is 67500 divided by 5,20,000, times 100.
That is about 12.98 percent, roughly 13 percent.
The other options do not match this value.
So the answer is 13 percent.
