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.

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?
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%
