Question

The following double line graph shows the sales made by two companies in a period of 4 years.

Which company made more sales in these 4 years?

• A. Company 1
• B. Company 2
• C. Both the companies made equal sales
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the companies made equal sales

Company 1:
$\text{Total sales made in}4\text{years = Sales in}2017\text{+ Sales in}2018\text{+ Sales in}2019\text{+ Sales in}2020$
$=4000+1000+3000+6000$
$=\$14000$

Company 2:
$\text{Total sales made in}4\text{years = Sales in}2017\text{+ Sales in}2018\text{+ Sales in}2019\text{+ Sales in}2020$
$=2000+4000+5000+3000$
$=\$14000$

$\therefore \text{Total sales made by Company 1}=\text{Total sales made by Company 2}$
Hence, both the companies made equal sales in the given time period.
