   152%
   114%
   100%
   164%
   144%
   Option D
   Required percentage
   = [(128000/ 78000) x 100]%
   = 164%

    

7. What is the difference between the number of vehicles manufactured by Company B in 2000 and 2001?
   25500
   21000
   29000
   32000
   20000
   Option B
   Required difference
   = (128000 – 107000)
   = 21000

    

8. What is the difference between the total productions of the two Companies in the given years ?
   35000
   26000
   25200
   26000
   32500
   Option B
   The productions of Company A in the years 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 are 119000, 99000, 141000, 78000, 120000 and 159000 and those of Company B are 139000, 120000,100000, 128000, 107000 and 148000 respectively.
   Total production of Company A from 1997 to 2002 = 119000 + 99000 + 141000 + 78000 + 120000 + 159000
   = 716000.
   Total production of Company B from 1997 to 2002 = 139000 + 120000 + 100000 + 128000 + 107000 + 148000
   = 742000
   Difference = (742000 – 716000)
   = 26000

    

9. In which of the following years, the difference between the productions of Companies A and B was the maximum among the given years?
   1999
   1998
   2000
   2001
   2002
   Option C
   The difference between the productions of Companies A and B in various years is: For 1997 (139000 – 119000) = 20000.
   For 1998 (120000 – 99000) = 21000
   For 1999 (141000 – 100000) = 41000
   For 2000 (128000 – 78000) = 50000
   For 2001 (120000 – 107000) = 13000
   For 2002 (159000 – 148000) = 11000
   Clearly, maximum difference was in 2000

    = 1/6 *(119000 + 99000 + 141000 + 78000 + 120000 + 159000
    = 119333
