4.
The percentage of 4AH batteries sold to the total number of batteries sold was maximum in the year?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The percentages of sales of 4AH batteries to the total sales in different years are:
| For 1992 = |  |
75 | x 100 |  |
% = 13.81%. |
| 543 |
| For 1993 = | |
90 | x 100 | |
% = 17.05%. |
| 528 |
| For 1994 = | |
96 | x 100 | |
% = 18.29%. |
| 525 |
| For 1995 = | |
105 | x 100 | |
% = 20.59%. |
| 510 |
| For 1996 = | |
96 | x 100 | |
% = 19.35%. |
| 465 |
| For 1997 = | |
105 | x 100 | |
% = 21.21%. |
| 495 |
| For 1998 = | |
115 | x 100 | |
% = 19.01%. |
| 605 |
Clearly, the percentage is maximum in 1997.

The Total sales are different in every time because it is the sum of all batteries in one year.

@Shivam
Please find that even it was mentioned 96 the value is calculated with 90/465 which is 19.35% and for 1997 it was 21.21% which is higher among all. So the answer is right. So its a type error. That's all.

Yes, You are right @Shivam.
The Sales are taken wrong in 1996.
