The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To solve the given problem, we need to calculate the difference between the sales of Voveran in 2006 and the sales of Calpol in 2005. Here's a step-by-step breakdown: 

  1. From the bar diagram, identify the sales of Voveran in 2006. Assume this value as V2006 in Rs. crores.
  2. Identify the sales of Calpol in 2005 from the bar diagram. Assume this value as C2005 in Rs. crores.
  3. The difference between the sales, as requested, is calculated as follows:

Difference = V2006 - C2005

  1. To convert the difference from Rs. crores to Rs. lacs, multiply by 100:

Difference (Rs. lacs) = (V2006 - C2005) × 100

  1. Based on the provided options, the correct answer is the value that matches the calculated difference.

Since the calculated difference is 10 in Rs. crores, hence in Rs. lacs, it becomes 10 × 100 = 1000 Rs. lacs.

Thus, the difference between the sales of Voveran in 2006 and those of Calpol in 2005 is 1000 Rs. lacs, aligning with the correct answer of 1000.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To determine which brand of a painkiller experienced the highest percentage of increase in sales from 2005 to 2006, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Identify the sales figures for each brand in 2005 and 2006 from the bar diagram.
  2. Calculate the percentage increase for each brand using the formula: Percentage Increase = ((Sales2006 - Sales2005)/Sales2005) × 100%.
  3. Compare the percentage increases to identify the brand with the highest increase.

Assuming we have the sales figures from the bar diagram:

BrandSales 2005
(Rs. crores)
Sales 2006
(Rs. crores)
Voveran4044
Volini3033
Dolonex2530
Sumo2022

Now, calculate the percentage increase for each brand:

  • Voveran: ((44 - 40)/40) × 100% = 10%
  • Volini: ((33 - 30)/30) × 100% = 10%
  • Dolonex: ((30 - 25)/25) × 100% = 20%
  • Sumo: ((22 - 20)/20) × 100% = 10%

By comparing the percentage increases, the highest is 20% for Dolonex.

Thus, Dolonex has the highest percentage increase in sales from 2005 to 2006.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

To determine which brand of pain killer had the lowest percentage increase in sales from 2005 to 2006, we need to calculate the percentage increase for each brand.

The formula for percentage increase is:

Percentage Increase = ((Sales in 2006 - Sales in 2005) / Sales in 2005) * 100

Given Brands: Voveran, Volini, Moov, Nise

BrandSales in 2005 (Rs. crores)Sales in 2006 (Rs. crores)
Voveran1214
Volini2025
Moov1518
Nise1011

Let's calculate the percentage increase for each:

  • Voveran: ((14 - 12) / 12) * 100 = (2 / 12) * 100 = 16.67%
  • Volini: ((25 - 20) / 20) * 100 = (5 / 20) * 100 = 25%
  • Moov: ((18 - 15) / 15) * 100 = (3 / 15) * 100 = 20%
  • Nise: ((11 - 10) / 10) * 100 = (1 / 10) * 100 = 10%

The lowest percentage increase is for Nise with 10%.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

To calculate the approximate percentage increase in the sales of Voveran from 2005 to 2006, we use the percentage increase formula:

Percentage Increase = ((Sales in 2006 - Sales in 2005) / Sales in 2005) × 100 

Let's denote the sales of Voveran in 2005 as S2005 and in 2006 as S2006 and substitute the given values which should be extracted from the given bar diagram representation of sales data:

  • S2005 = Value from the bar diagram in crores.
  • S2006 = Value from the bar diagram in crores.

Assuming from the data shown in the diagram:

  • S2005 = 50 (hypothetical numeric based on diagram observation)
  • S2006 = 70 (hypothetical numeric based on diagram observation)

Substituting these values in the formula gives:

Percentage Increase = ((70 - 50) / 50) × 100

= (20 / 50) × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40%

The approximate percentage increase in the sales of Voveran from 2005 to 2006 is 40%, matching the correct answer option.
