Question

Read the information provided and answer the question that follows: 
Given below in the first chart is the percentage distribution of total cars (MUV & SUV) distributed by 8 dealers, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H across the country. Similarly, the second chart shows the SUV cars distributed by the same dealers in the year 2023. Further, it is known that the sum total of SUV and MUV cars sold by all the 8 dealers for the year 2023 is 56000 and the total number of SUV cars sold during the same duration is 32000. 
The total number of cars sold by the dealer D is by what percentage more than the total number of SUV cars sold by dealers C, F and G together? 

• A. 75%
• B. 50%
• C. 63%
• D. 33%
• E. 25%

Hint:

"Percentage More" is always calculated as $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Base Value}} \times 100$, where the "Base Value" is the quantity immediately following the word "than".

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Step 1: Find Total cars sold by D.
Total cars = 56,000. From Chart 1, Dealer D sold 15%.
D (Total) = $0.15 \times 56,000 = 8,400$.

Step 2: Find SUV cars sold by C, F, and G.
Total SUVs = 32,000. From Chart 2, C = 7%, F = 8%, G = 6%.
Combined percentage = $7\% + 8\% + 6\% = 21\%$.
C+F+G (SUV) = $0.21 \times 32,000 = 6,720$.

Step 3: Calculate percentage difference.
Difference = $8,400 - 6,720 = 1,680$.
Percentage more = $\frac{1,680}{6,720} \times 100 = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25\%$.
