Correct Answer: 87.5
Solution :
Total sale of branches B1, B2, and B3 in 2001 = 105 + 65 + 110 = 280 thousands
Number of given branches = 3
Average sale of branches B1, B2, and B3 in 2001 = $\frac{105 + 65 + 110}{3}$ = $\frac{280}{3}$
Total sale of branches B1, B3 and B6 in 2000 = 80 + 95 + 70 = 245 thousands
Number of given branches = 3
Average sale of branches B1, B3, and B6 in 2000 = $\frac{80+95+70}{3}$ = $\frac{245}{3}$
Required percentage = $\frac{\text{Average sale of branches B1, B2, and B3 in 2000}}{\text{Average sale of branches B1, B2, and B3 in 2001}}\times100$
= $\frac{\frac{245}{3}}{\frac{280}{3}}\times100$
= 87.5%
Hence, the correct answer is 87.5%.
