Common data Question from 1 to 3
The bar graph given below shows the sales of books (in thousand number) from six branches of a publishing company during two consecutive years 2000 and 2001.
Sales of Books (in thousand numbers) from Six Branches – Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5 and Z6 of a publishing Company in 2000 and 2001.
Question1
What percent of the average sales of branches Z1, Z2 and Z3 in 2001 is the average sales of branches Z1, Z3 and Z6 in 2000?
Options
(A) 75%
(B) 77.5%
(C) 82.5%
(D) 87.5%
Explanations
Average sales (in thousand number) of branches Z1, Z2 and Z3 in 2001
\frac{1}{3} \ × (105 +65 + 110) = \frac{280}{3} \
Average sales (in thousand number) of branches Z1, Z3 and Z6 in 2000
\frac{1}{3} \ × (95 +80 + 70) = \frac{245}{3} \
∴ Required Percentage = \frac{\frac{245}{3}}{\frac{280}{3}} \times 100 %
= \frac{245}{280}\times 100 = 87.5%
Correct Options (D)
Question 2.
Total sales of branches Z1, Z3 and Z5 together for both the years (in thousand numbers) is?
Options
(A) 250
(B) 310

Total sales of branches Z1, Z3 and Z5 for both the years (in thousand numbers)
= (80 + 105) + (95 + 110) + (75 + 95)
= 560.
