The following pie chart shows the percentage share of value-wise sales of five brands A, B, C, D, and E in 2005.

Considering sale of A increased by 50% in 2006, sale of E increased by 10% and all other brands had no change in sales. Total sales in 2006 was 2,16,000. What was the sale of A in 2005 (approximately)?
- 1,23,000
- 1,08,600
- 77,947
- 1,16,920
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - 77,947
2006 total = 1.247 * (2005 total), so 2005 total = 216000/1.247 = 1,73,216. A in 2005 = 45% of that = 77,947.
