By how many crore rupees has the total detergent sales of Spic Fine Chemicals changed in 1997 over the previous year?

The correct option is A 24.4

Ans. (a)

Increase w.r.t previous year, Henko stain champion = 15%

Sales value in this year, Henko Stain champion = 2% of 3200 = 64 Cr

Sales value (previous year) = 64 * (1/1.15) = 55.6 Cr

Therefore, change in sales value = 8.4 Cr.

For white giant, wrt previous year, there is 100% increase.

This year its sales value = 1% of 3200 = 32 Cr.

Sales value (previous year) = 32/2 = 16 Cr

Change in sales value = 16 Cr.

Therefore, Total change comes to be (16 + 8.4) = 24.4 Cr
