पर्याय

• 57.24%

• 56.86%

• 89.47%

• 74.36%

Answer 1

57.24%

Explanation:

Production of company A during 1996 – 98 = 24 + 29 + 34 = 87 lakh metres

Average production of companies B and C during 1998 – 2000 = `(38 + 59 + 49 + 51 + 55 + 52)/2 = 304/2` = 152 lakh metres

Percentage of production of company 'A' during 1996 – 98 to the average production of companies B and C during 1998 – 2000 = `87/152 xx 100` = 57.24%
