Study the following graph to answer these questions.

The following bar graph shows the revenue generated by three realty firms A, B and C during 2012 to 2016. Each of these firms builds Low Income Group (LIG) apartments, Middle Income Group (MIG) apartments and High Income Group (HIG) apartments.

Question 133

By what per cent should C increase its revenue in 2017 to make it 10% more than the average revenue of all the firms in 2016?

Solution

The average revenue of all three firms in 2016 is $$\dfrac{4230+4075+3965}{3}=4090$$

Firm C's revenue in 2016 is 3965 cr

As the firm has to make 10% more than the average of 2016, the revenue will be 

$$4090\times\left(1+\dfrac{10}{100}\right)=4499$$ crores

Assuming the percentage increase in C's revenue is $$x$$

So, $$3965\times\left(1+\dfrac{x}{100}\right)=4499$$

or, $$\left(1+\dfrac{x}{100}\right)=1.1347$$

$$x=13.47\%$$

Hence, the answer is 13.47%
