The denominator should be 95 instead of 90. Then the answer will be 126.31.

@Shivu : No, it's 90. Check the graph, blue bars are for flavour X in 1995 and 1996 is (50 & 40)

@Vijhay:
Total production of flavour Z (green bars) in 1997 and 1998 is = 60 + 60 = 120.
Total production of flavour X (blue bars) in 1995 and 1996 is = 50 + 40 = 90.
Given: Tot Prdctn of flavour Z in 1997 and 1998 = x% of total production of flavour X in 1995 and 1996.
120 = x% of 90.
x = [(120 * 100) /90] = 133.33%.

Thank you
