The percentage of 4AH batteries sold to the total number of batteries sold was maximum in the year?
1994
1995
1996
1997
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.

In 1996, that is a number of sale of batteries is 90 not 96.

Yes, You are right @Shivam.

The Sales are taken wrong in 1996.

Can anyone clarify how we got the denominator values?

@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.

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