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. 1,23,000
  2. 1,08,600
  3. 77,947
  4. 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.
