Question

Which of the following are true for the given chart?

A. 40,000 is difference in manufacturing in C and B in year 2016-2017.
B. 20,000 is the difference between the total production of C and B in the given years.
C. 20\% is decrease in car manufacturing by A from 2016 to 2017.
D. Approx. 11\% increased in manufacturing by B from 2018-2019.
E. 2,10,000 is the average manufacturing of cars by A over the year.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B, D Only
• B. B, D, E Only
• C. C, B, D, E Only
• D. B, D Only

Hint:

Read the three lines carefully: A = 200, 180, 220, 240; B = 220, 200, 180, 200; C = 240, 160, 200, 180 (thousands). Only B, D and E check out.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

• We read the line chart (in thousands) and check statements A to E.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

• Values read from the chart: A (circle): 2016 = 200, 2017 = 180, 2018 = 220, 2019 = 240. B (triangle): 220, 200, 180, 200. C (square): 240, 160, 200, 180.

• Statement A: Over 2016-2017, C = 240 + 160 = 400 and B = 220 + 200 = 420, so the difference is 20 thousand, not 40 thousand. Not true.

• Statement B: Total of B = 220 + 200 + 180 + 200 = 800; total of C = 240 + 160 + 200 + 180 = 780. The difference is 20 thousand = 20,000. True.

• Statement C: A fell from 200 to 180, a decrease of \( \frac{20}{200} \times 100 = 10\% \), not 20%. Not true.

• Statement D: B rose from 180 to 200, an increase of \( \frac{20}{180} \times 100 \approx 11\% \). True.

• Statement E: Total of A = 200 + 180 + 220 + 240 = 840, so the average is \( \frac{840}{4} = 210 \) thousand = 2,10,000. True.

• Hence B, D and E are true.

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct option is (B) B, D, E Only.
