The following table shows the sales (in Rs. lakh) of three products (A, B, C) across four regions (North, South, East, West) in 2011.
- 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).
The plots below depict and compare the average monthly incomes (in Rs. ’000) of males and females in ten cities of India in the years 2005 and 2015. The ten cities, marked A-J in the records, are of different population sizes. For a fair comparison, to adjust for inflation, incomes for both the periods are scaled to 2025 prices. Each red dot represents the average monthly income of females in a particular city in a particular year, while each blue dot represents the average monthly income of males in a particular city in a particular year. The gender gap for a city, for a particular year, is defined as the absolute value of the average monthly income of males, minus the average monthly income of females, in that year.
