Question 17

During which year use of oil by ‘Suburban’ as a proportion of ‘Total Oil Used’ was the highest?

Solution

Total oil used in the year 1996 = 10+700+1794+104 = 2608.

Therefore, Oil used by Suburban as a proportion of Total Oil Used = $$\dfrac{104}{2608}\times 100$$ = 3.99 percent. 

Similarly, we can calculate for the remaining years. 

From the table, we can see that oil used by suburban as a proportion of total oil used is the highest for the year 2008. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
