Question

A company's revenue (in crores) is: Q1 (20), Q2 (25), Q3 (30), Q4 (35). What is the percentage contribution of Q2 to total revenue?

• A. 20%
  
• B. 22.73%
  
• C. 25%
  
• D. 27.27%
  

Hint:

For percentage contribution, divide the part by the total and multiply by 100.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Calculate total revenue. Q1 = 20, Q2 = 25, Q3 = 30, Q4 = 35. Total = $20 + 25 + 30 + 35$. Step-wise: $20 + 25 = 45$, $45 + 30 = 75$, $75 + 35 = 110$ crores.
- Step 2: Find Q2 contribution. Q2 = 25 crores. Percentage = $\left( \frac{25}{110} \right) \times 100$.
- Step 3: Compute. $\frac{25}{110} = \frac{5}{22}$. Then, $\frac{5}{22} \times 100 \approx 22.7272$.
- Step 4: Approximate. $22.7272 \approx 22.73$.
- Step 5: Compare with options. Options: (1) 20%, (2) 22.73%, (3) 25%, (4) 27.27%. Matches 22.73%.
- Step 6: Verify. Total = 110, Q2 = 25, $\frac{25}{110} \times 100 = 22.7272$.
- Step 7: Conclusion. Option (2) is correct.
