In 2006, if sales value of B increases by 10% and that of A decreases by 10%. What is the percentage change in sales, if sale of all other brands remain same?

No change

Decrease by 3%

Increase by 6%

Decrease by 1%

✅ Correct Option: 2

For Brand A (45%):

\newline

Decrease of 10% means contribution becomes

\newline

45\% × 0.9

\newline

40.5\%

(a decrease of

4.5\%

)

For Brand B (15%):

\newline

Increase of 10% means contribution becomes

\newline

15\% × 1.1

\newline

16.5\%

(an increase of

1.5\%

)

Net change in total sales:

\newline

= Decrease in A + Increase in B

\newline

-4.5\% + 1.5\%

\newline

-3\%

Therefore, the overall sales will decrease by 3%.
