The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


- Step 1: Identify Product A sales. From the table: North = 50, South = 40, East = 20, West = 30 (all in Rs. lakh).
- Step 2: Calculate total. Total sales = 50 + 40 + 20 + 30.
- Step 3: Perform addition. 50 + 40 = 90, 90 + 20 = 110, 110 + 30 = 140. So, total = Rs. 140 lakh.
- Step 4: Verify. Sum again: 50 + 40 + 20 + 30 = 140. Check for errors in table reading: values are correct.
- Step 5: Check options. Options: (1) 120, (2) 130, (3) 140, (4) 150. Total = 140 matches option (3).
- Step 6: Cross-check for misinterpretation. Ensure no other products are included; only Product A is summed.
- Step 7: Conclusion. Option (3) is correct.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


- Step 1: Calculate total sales per region. Sum sales of Products A, B, C for each region.
- Step 2: North. 50 + 30 + 20 = 100 Rs. lakh.
- Step 3: South. 40 + 60 + 30 = 130 Rs. lakh.
- Step 4: East. 20 + 40 + 50 = 110 Rs. lakh.
- Step 5: West. 30 + 20 + 40 = 90 Rs. lakh.
- Step 6: Compare. North = 100, South = 130, East = 110, West = 90. South has the highest total (130).
- Step 7: Verify. Recalculate South: 40 + 60 = 100, 100 + 30 = 130. Check others: East (20 + 40 = 60, 60 + 50 = 110), West (30 + 20 = 50, 50 + 40 = 90). South is highest.
- Step 8: Check options. Options: (1) North, (2) South, (3) East, (4) West. South matches option (2).
- Step 9: Conclusion. Option (2) is correct.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

- Step 1: Find total sales in East. From the given table/data: 
Product A = 20 Rs. lakh, Product B = 40 Rs. lakh, Product C = 50 Rs. lakh. 
Total East sales = 20 + 40 + 50 = 110 Rs. lakh

- Step 2: Find Product C sales in East.
 Product C sales in East = 50 Rs. lakh

- Step 3: Write the percentage formula. 
Percentage share of Product C = (Product C sales ÷ Total East sales) × 100. 

- Step 4: Substitute values. = (50 ÷ 110) × 100. 

- Step 5: Compute step-by-step. 
50 ÷ 110 = 5 ÷ 11 ≈ 0.4545. 
Multiply by 100 ⇒ 0.4545 × 100 = 45.45%. 

- Step 6: Verify calculation. 
Another way: (50 × 100) ÷ 110 = 5000 ÷ 110 = 45.4545…%, which rounds to 45.45%. 

- Step 7: Match with options. 
Given options: (1) 40%, (2) 45.45%, (3) 50%, (4) 55.55%. 
Our value (45.45%) exactly matches Option (2)

- Step 8: Cross-check logic. 
The fraction 5/11 is a well-known decimal ≈ 0.4545, confirming the percentage. 

- Step 9: Conclusion. 
The percentage share of Product C in East = 45.45%, so the correct answer is Option (2)

Question: 4

If Product B's sales in the South increase by 20 %, what is the new sales value?

Show Hint

For percentage increase, use \text{New value} = \text{Original} \times (1 + \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}) and verify.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

South — Product B (20% Increase)

  1. Identify Product B sales in South. From the table: 60 Rs. lakh.
  2. Interpret the increase. A 20% increase means the new value is 120% of the original (i.e., multiplier = 1.20).
  3. Compute (multiplier method). 1.20 × 60 = 72 Rs. lakh.
  4. Alternative check. Increase = 20% of 60 = 0.20 × 60 = 12; new sales = 60 + 12 = 72 Rs. lakh.
  5. Verify. (12 ÷ 60) × 100 = 20%
  6. Match with options. (1) 68, (2) 70, (3) 72, (4) 74 → matches Option (3).
  7. Conclusion. South’s Product B after a 20% increase = 72 Rs. lakhOption (3).
