Question

In case of magazine R, between which two given months was there approximately 15% rise in advertisement revenues generated (from both printed and online version together)?

• A. January-February
• B. February-March
• C. May-June
• D. March-April
• E. April-May

Answer 1

The correct option is D March-April

Percentage rise from Jan to Feb
$=\frac{305-277}{277}\times 100=\frac{28\times 100}{277}=10.10\%$
Feb to Mar $=\frac{326-305}{305}\times 100=\frac{21}{305}\times 100=6.88\%$
Mar to Apr $=\frac{375-326}{326}\times 100=\frac{49\times 100}{326}=15\%$
Apr to May $=\frac{405-375}{375}\times 100=\frac{30\times 100}{375}=8\%$
May to June $=\frac{421-405}{405}\times 100=\frac{16\times 100}{405}=3.9\%$
Hence, the required answer is March to April.
