(c) 435
(d)560
(e)585
Q.2) total sales of branch B6 for both the years is what percent of the total sales of branch B3 for both the years?

Q.5)what percent of the average sales of branches B1, B2 and B3 in 2001 is the average sales of branches B1, B3 and B6 in 2000?
(a)75%
(b)77.5%
(c)82.5%
(d)85%
(e)87.5%
Explanation:
1.(d) total sales of branches B1,B3 and B5 for both the years (in thousand numbers)=(80+105)+(95+110)+(75+95)=560
2(c) required percentage=[(70+80)/(95+110)*100]%=(150/205*100)%=73.17%
3(b)average sales of all the six branches (in thousand numbers ) for the year 2000=1/6*(80+75+95+85+75+70)=80
4(e) required ratio=(75+65)/(85+95)=140/180=7/9
5(e)average sales(in thousand numbers of branches B1,B3,and B6 in 2000= 1/3*(80+95+70)=245/3
average sales(in thousand numbers of branches B1,B2,and B3 in 2001=1/3*(105+65+110)=280/3
therefore required percentage=[((245/3)/(280/3))*100]%=(245/280*100)%=87.5%
