Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Amul earned 0.28×9500=26600.28\times9500 = 2660 crore in 2023. In 2024 the market is 9500×1.1=104509500\times1.1 = 10450 crore, and a 23 percent share gives 0.23×10450=2403.50.23\times10450 = 2403.5 crore. The change is −256.5/2660×100≈−9.64%-256.5/2660\times100 \approx -9.64\%, a decrease of 9.64 percent; the figure 17.86 percent is only the fall in the share from 28 to 23 percent and ignores the 10 percent growth of the market.
