D120%
Correct answer: (A) 100% — The answer is 100 percent.
Explanation
★The answer is 100 percent.
★State C has 32 percent of 1400, which is 448 cars, and its petrol share of 3 in 8 is 168.
★State A has 14 percent of 1400, which is 196 cars, and its diesel share of 3 in 7 is 84.
★So the excess is 168 minus 84, which is 84.
★As a percent of 84 this is 84 divided by 84, times 100.
★That is 100 percent.
★So the answer is 100 percent.
