Correct Option: B
From the given bar diagram , we see
Total sales of branch B6 for both the years = 70 + 80 = 150 thousand
Total sales of branch B3 for both the years = 95 + 110 = 205 thousand
According to question ,
x% of Total sales of branch B3 for both the years = Total sales of branch B6 for both the years
| ∴ 205 × | = 150 | 100 |
