4.
In which year, the percentage change (compared to the previous year) in the investment on Raw materials is same as that in the value of sales of finished goods?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The percentage change in the amount invested in raw-materials and in the value of sales of finished goods for different years are:
Percentage change in Amount invested in raw-material:
| For 1996 = |  |
(225 - 120) | x 100 | ![]](/_files/images/data-interpretation/common/15-sym-cbracket-h1.gif) |
% = 87.5%. |
| 120 |
| For 1997 = | |
(375 - 225) | x 100 | |
% = 66.67%. |
| 225 |
| For 1998 = | |
(330 - 375) | x 100 | |
% = -12%. |
| 375 |
| For 1999 = | |
(525 - 330) | x 100 | |
% = 59.09%. |
| 330 |
| For 2000 = | |
(420 - 525) | x 100 | |
% = -20%. |
| 525 |
Percentage change in value of sales of finished goods:
| For 1996 = | |
(300 - 200) | x 100 | |
% = 50%. |
| 200 |
| For 1997 = | |
(500 - 300) | x 100 | |
% = 66.7%. |
| 300 |
| For 1998 = | |
(400 - 500) | x 100 | |
% = -20%. |
| 500 |
| For 1999 = | |
(600 - 400) | x 100 | |
% = 50%. |
| 400 |
| For 2000 = | |
(460 - 600) | x 100 | |
% = -23.33%. |
| 600 |
Thus, the percentage difference is same during the year 1997.
