If Emazon decides to give an average salary of ₹21,000 to the delivery partners and allocates ₹13.44 crore for the same in 2022, find the percentage increase in the number of delivery partners from 2021 to 2022.

The correct answer is 28%.

Let's break down the solution step-by-step:

Step 1: Understand the data given for 2022.
Average salary per delivery partner in Emazon = ₹21,000.
Total budget allocated for salaries in 2022 = ₹13.44 crore.
We know that 1 crore = 1,00,00,000.
Therefore, the total budget in rupees is:
Total Budget = 13.44 × 1,00,00,000 = ₹13,44,00,000.

Step 2: Calculate the number of delivery partners in Emazon in 2022.
The number of delivery partners can be calculated by dividing the total budget by the average salary per partner:
Number of delivery partners in 2022 = Total Budget / Average Salary
Number of delivery partners in 2022 = 13,44,00,000 / 21,000
Number of delivery partners in 2022 = 1,34,400 / 21 = 6,400.

Since the values in the table are in thousands, we can convert 6,400 to thousands:
Number of delivery partners in 2022 (in thousands) = 6,400 / 1,000 = 6.4 (thousands).

Step 3: Find the number of delivery partners in Emazon in 2021.
From the given table, the number of delivery partners for Emazon in the year 2021 is 5.0 (thousand).

Step 4: Calculate the percentage increase from 2021 to 2022.
Increase in the number of delivery partners = Number in 2022 - Number in 2021
Increase = 6.4 - 5.0 = 1.4 (thousands).

Now, calculate the percentage increase with respect to the value in 2021:
Percentage Increase = (Increase / Number in 2021) × 100

$\text{Percentage Increase}=\frac{1.4}{5.0}\times 100$

$\text{Percentage Increase}=1.4\times 20=28\%$

Thus, the percentage increase in the number of delivery partners in Emazon from 2021 to 2022 is 28%.
