Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Total bonus over 2015–2019 is 3+2.52+3.84+3.68+3.96=17 3+2.52+3.84+3.68+3.96=17 lakh and total salary is 288+342+324+336+420=1710 288+342+324+336+420=1710 lakh. So the bonus is 171710×100≈0.99% \frac{17}{1710}\times100\approx0.99\% of salary, about 1%. A figure such as 3% or 4% would need a total bonus of 50 lakh or more.
