Find the percentage by which the total number of cars sold within the country in 2022 and 2023 together exceeds the total number of cars sold within the country in 2020 and 2024 together. (Round off your answer to two decimal places.)

7.34%

5.66%

6.67%

4.44%

✅ Correct Option: 2

Cars sold within the country are the cars that were not exported.

Year	Domestic sales (thousand)
2020	$80\times75\%=60$
2022	$120\times65\%=78$
2023	$150\times60\%=90$
2024	$180\times55\%=99$

Domestic sales in 2022 and 2023 together $=78+90=168$ thousand.

Domestic sales in 2020 and 2024 together $=60+99=159$ thousand.

Percentage excess $=\dfrac{168-159}{159}\times100\approx5.66\%$ .

Question 5

The company earned an average profit of ₹1,50,000 on each exported car and ₹80,000 on each car sold within the country. What is the percentage increase in the difference between export profit and domestic profit (in ₹ crore) in 2024 compared to 2023 if the profit margins remained the same?

Question 7

Find the total number of cars exported by the company in the years 2021 and 2024.

Question 8

Find the ratio of the total number of cars exported in 2020 and 2021 together to the total number of cars manufactured in 2024.
