The following pie chart provides information about the revenue generated by six companies A,B,C,D,E and F as a percentage of the total biscuit market (in Rs.) in the year 2007. These are the only six companies producing biscuits in the market.
Q. What would be the market share of D in 2008, if the sales of C and D goes up by 20% and 15% while the revenue of every other brand remains the same?

• A. 8%
• B. 9.1%
• C. 8.9%
• D. 8.08%
• E. 9.89%

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8.9%

Revenue of C in 2008 = $1.20\times 11k=13.2k$
Revenue of D in 2008 = $1.15\times 8k=9.2k$
Overall sales = 100k+1.2k+2.2k = 103.4k
Market share of D =$\frac{9.2k}{103.4k}\times 100=8.9\%$
