Correct Answer: Table clock


Solution : As per the graph,
(i) Wristwatch
The sales in 2010 = 28.3 lakhs
The sales in 2005 = 21.3 lakhs
Percentage increase = $\frac{28.3-21.3}{21.3}$ × 100 = 32.86%
(ii) Stopwatch
The sales in 2010 = 3.5 lakhs
The sales in 2005 = 5.5 lakhs
Percentage decrease = $\frac{5.5-3.5}{3.5}$ × 100 = 57.14%
(iii) Table clock
The sales in 2010 = 22.3 lakhs
The sales in 2005 = 9.5 lakhs
Percentage increase = $\frac{22.3-9.5}{9.5}$ × 100 = 134.73%
(iv) Wall clock
The sales in 2010 = 32.7 lakhs
The sales in 2005 = 30.7 lakhs
Percentage increase = $\frac{32.7-30.7}{30.7}$×100 = 6.51%
Hence, the correct answer is Table clock.
