Question

A pie chart shows market share: Company A (30%), B (25%), C (20%), D (15%), E (10%). If total market size is Rs. 50 crores, what is Company C's share?

• A. Rs. 8 crores
  
• B. Rs. 10 crores
  
• C. Rs. 12 crores
  
• D. Rs. 15 crores
  

Hint:

For pie charts, multiply the percentage (as a decimal) by the total to find individual shares.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Identify Company C's share. C = 20%.
- Step 2: Calculate. Total = 50 crores. C's share = $20% \times 50 = 0.2 \times 50 = 10$ crores.
- Step 3: Verify. Total percentages: $30 + 25 + 20 + 15 + 10 = 100%$. C = $\frac{20}{100} \times 50 = 10$.
- Step 4: Compare with options. Options: (1) 8, (2) 10, (3) 12, (4) 15. Matches 10.
- Step 5: Cross-check. A = $0.3 \times 50 = 15$, B = $0.25 \times 50 = 12.5$, D = $0.15 \times 50 = 7.5$, E = $0.1 \times 50 = 5$. Total = $15 + 12.5 + 10 + 7.5 + 5 = 50$.
- Step 6: Conclusion. Option (2) is correct.
