Answers and Explanations
Answer 1. (D)
The automobile production in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 are 1775, 1700, 2175, 2325 and 2200 respectively.
The production shows decrease only in the year 2005 and 2008
The percentage decrease in 2005
Percentage decrease in 2008
Hence, 2008 exhibited highest percentage decrease.
Answer 2. (C)
In year 2004, exports of automobiles = production – sales = 1775 – 1450 = 325
In year 2005, export of automobiles = 1700 – 1525 = 17
In year 2006, export of automobiles = 2175 – 1925 = 250
In year 2007, export of automobiles = 2325 – 2025 = 300
In year 2008, export of automobiles = 2200 – 1875 = 325
So highest growth in export is in year 2006
Answer 3. (A)

∴ Total sales = 30075x
∴ Required percentage
