- 13.5
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
To find the market share of 'Others' in percentage points, follow these steps:
- Calculate the percentage of the market for each brand given:
- Lifebuoy: 30%
- Camay: 10%
- Liril: 15%
- Mysore Sandal (MS): 10%
- Lux: Luxury brand with 136 lakh units out of the total 680 lakh units sold.
- Calculate the percentage of Lux:
- Lux units: 136 lakh
- Total units: 680 lakh
- Percentage of Lux = \(\left(\frac{136}{680}\right) \times 100 = 20\%\)
- Add the percentages of all the mentioned brands:
- 30% (Lifebuoy) + 10% (Camay) + 15% (Liril) + 10% (MS) + 20% (Lux) = 85%
- Subtract the total percentage of these brands from 100% to find the market share of 'Others':
- 100% - 85% = 15%
Therefore, the market share of 'Others' is 15 percentage points.
