Direction: The following graph shows production (in thousands) of two types (P and Q) of vehicles by a factory over the years 2009 to 2014. Study the graph and answer the given questions.
-
Approximate percentage decrease in the production of Type Q vehicles from 2010 to 2011 is
-
- 10.1
- 16.7
- 14.3
- 12.5
Correct Option: B
From the given line graph in question , we have
The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010 = 150 thousands
The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2011 = 125 thousands
Decrease in the production = The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010 - The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2011 = 150 - 125 = 25
| Required percentage decrease = |  | Decrease in the production |  | × 100 | |
| The production of Type Q vehicles in year 2010 |
| Required percentage decrease = | × 100 = | = 16.7% | 150 | 3 |
