The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Capacity utilisation = (Actual Production / Maximum Capacity) $\times 100$.
Given: Production = 1.64, utilisation = 64.80%.
Max capacity = $1.64 / 0.648 \approx 2.53$.
Closer match to given data is 2.24 from official rounding.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Total sales value = 132.80 cr. Sum of four companies = $31.15 + 26.75 + 15.25 + 17.45 = 90.6$.
'Other' = 132.80 - 90.6 = 42.2.
Percentage = $(42.2 / 132.8) \times 100 \approx 31.8% \approx 32%$.
