The given bar graph shows the turnover of five companies (in crores). SOLVED PAPER (26th September 2024 Shift-2)

What is the difference between the average sales turnover of all the compaines put together between the years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020?

To find the difference between the average sales turnover of all the five companies put together between the years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, we first extract the turnover data for each company from the provided bar graph.

According to the graph, the turnover values (in crores) for the five companies (HDFC, GM, HERO, LG, and BPL) are as follows:

For the year 2018-2019 (represented by the medium gray middle bars):
• HDFC: 250 crore
• GM: 350 crore
• HERO: 275 crore
• LG: 200 crore
• BPL: 400 crore

For the year 2019-2020 (represented by the light gray rightmost bars):
• HDFC: 300 crore
• GM: 250 crore
• HERO: 300 crore
• LG: 300 crore
• BPL: 350 crore

Step 1: Calculate the average turnover for the year 2018-2019
First, sum the turnover values for all five companies:

$\text{Total Turnover (2018-19)}=250+350+275+200+400=1475\text{crore}$

$\text{Average Turnover (2018-19)}=\frac{1475}{5}=295\text{crore}$

Step 2: Calculate the average turnover for the year 2019-2020
First, sum the turnover values for all five companies:

$\text{Total Turnover (2019-20)}=300+250+300+300+350=1500\text{crore}$

$\text{Average Turnover (2019-20)}=\frac{1500}{5}=300\text{crore}$

Step 3: Calculate the difference between the two averages

$\text{Difference}=300-295=5\text{crore}$
