Correct Answer :

Option B

0%

Solution :

The correct option is 0%.


Step 1: Extract data from the table for City M and City N.

From the table provided:

• For City M:
- Total bikes sold by X and Y together = 440
- Bikes sold by Y = 90

• For City N:
- Total cars sold by X and Y together = 350


Step 2: Calculate the number of bikes sold by company X in City M.

The total bikes sold by company X in city M is the difference between total bikes sold by both companies (X and Y) in city M and the bikes sold by company Y in city M:

Bikes sold by X in city M=440-90=350


Step 3: Compare the values and calculate the percentage difference.

We are asked to find what percentage more or less the total number of bikes sold by X in city M is compared to the total number of cars sold by X and Y together in city N.

• Bikes sold by X in city M = 350
• Total cars sold by X and Y together in city N = 350

Since both values are equal (350 = 350), the difference is zero:

Difference=350-350=0

Percentage difference=0350×100%=0%


Thus, the required percentage is 0%.
