• A. Boost
• B. Horlicks
• C. Complan
• D. Bournvita
• E. Protinex

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Bournvita

Boost $=\frac{\left(96.34-40.3\right)}{40.3}\times 100=139.06\%$

Horlicks $=\frac{\left(74.32-11.86\right)}{11.86}\times 100=536.76\%$

Complan $=\frac{\left(58.28-29.94\right)}{29.94}\times 100=94.66\%$

Bournvita $=\frac{\left(24.42-15.74\right)}{15.74}\times 100=55\%$

Protinex $=\frac{\left(20.38-10.02\right)}{10.02}\times 100=103.39\%$

Thus, the minimum rate of increase in sales is in the case of shampoo.
