Question

Using the same table, what is the percentage increase in sales of product C from Q1 to Q4?

• A. 100%
• B. 150%
• C. 200%
• D. 250%

Hint:

For percentage increase, use $\left(\dfrac{\text{Final} - \text{Initial}}{\text{Initial}}\right) \times 100$ and verify by applying the percentage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Sales of product C: Q1 = 10, Q4 = 25 (in Rs. lakh).
- Step 2: Increase: $25 - 10 = 15$.
- Step 3: Percentage increase = $\left(\dfrac{15}{10}\right) \times 100 = 150%$.
- Step 4: Verify: $10 \times (1 + 1.5) = 10 \times 2.5 = 25$, matches Q4.
- Step 5: Check options: Option (2) is 150%, which matches.
- Step 6: Ensure correct quarters and formula.
