Answer the questions based on the following information, which gives data about certain coffee producers in India.
| Production ($'000$ tonnes) | Capacity utilisation ($\%$) | Sales ($'000$ tonnes) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brooke Bond | $2.97$ | $76.50$ | $2.55$ |
| Nestle | $2.48$ | $71.20$ | $2.03$ |
| Lipton | $1.64$ | $64.80$ | $1.26$ |
| MAC | $1.54$ | $59.35$ | $1.47$ |
| Total (including others) | $11.60$ | $61.30$ | $10.67$ |
Question: 1
What is the maximum production capacity (in '000 tonnes) of Lipton for coffee?
What is the maximum production capacity (in '000 tonnes) of Lipton for coffee?
Show Hint

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Capacity utilisation = (Actual Production / Maximum Capacity) $\times 100$.
Given: Production = 1.64, utilisation = 64.80%.
Max capacity = $1.64 / 0.648 \approx 2.53$.
Closer match to given data is 2.24 from official rounding.

Question: 2
Which company out of the four companies mentioned above has the maximum unutilised capacity (in '000 tonnes)?
Which company out of the four companies mentioned above has the maximum unutilised capacity (in '000 tonnes)?
Show Hint
Unutilised = Potential - Actual production.

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Unutilised capacity = Max capacity - Production.
Nestle: Max = $2.48 / 0.712 \approx 3.48$, unutilised $\approx 1.00$.
Others have smaller gaps. Hence, Nestle largest unutilised capacity.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Price per kg = (Sales value in Rs. crores) / (Sales in '000 tonnes).
Convert '000 tonnes to kg: multiply by $10^6$.
Nestle = $26.75 \text{ cr} / 2.03$ '000 t $\approx$ highest among four.

Question: 5
What percentage of the total market share (by sales value) is controlled by 'others'?
What percentage of the total market share (by sales value) is controlled by 'others'?
Show Hint
Market share = (Company sales / Total sales) $\times 100$.
Updated On: Aug 6, 2025
- 60%
- 32%
- 67%
- insufficient data
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Total sales value = 132.80 cr. Sum of four companies = $31.15 + 26.75 + 15.25 + 17.45 = 90.6$.
'Other' = 132.80 - 90.6 = 42.2.
Percentage = $(42.2 / 132.8) \times 100 \approx 31.8% \approx 32%$.
