Based on survey of ‘shop types’ Kamath categorized Indian states into four geographical regions as shown in the table above. His boss felt that the categorization was inadequate since important labels were missing. Kamath argued that no further labels are required to interpret the data.
Bala collected the same data five years after Kamath, using the same categorization.
Which of the following statements can DEFINITELY be concluded?
Option A,B ,C,D talk about the increase or decrease in the number of shops with respect to each other. Since the total number of shops can be different in two different years, hence they cannot be definitely concluded.
Option E compares the numbers of shops of two types in the same year. Since the percentage is given and total number of shops is same, hence E can be concluded. Hence E is the correct answer.
