Explanation:

Sales for various WAC types from Oct-14 to Mar-15:

Two ton: 0.25 × 1300 + 0.31(1340 + 1350) + 0.25(3928) = 2141

One & Half ton: 0.33 × 1300 + 0.19(1340 + 1350) + 0.33(3928) = 2236

One ton: 0.12 × 1300 + 0.34(1340 + 1350) + 0.26(3928) = 2092

One & Half ton: 0.3 × 1300 + 0.16(1340 + 1350) + 0.16(3928) = 1449

Referring to previous solution, the sales for various WAC types from Apr-14 to Sep-14:

Two ton: 3950 – 2141 = 1809

One & Half ton: 4056 – 2236 = 1820

One ton: 3376 – 2092 = 1284

One & Half ton: 4226 – 1449 = 2777

Half yearly sales performance for various types is:

$2 ton=\frac{\left({\displaystyle \frac{2141}{6}}\right)-\left({\displaystyle \frac{1809}{6}}\right)}{\left({\displaystyle \frac{1809}{6}}\right)}$

$=\frac{2141-1809}{1809}\approx 0.18$

$1 \raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right. ton=\frac{2236-1820}{1820}\approx 0.23$

1 ton $=\frac{2092-1284}{1284}\approx 0.63$

$\frac{1}{2} ton=\frac{1449-2777}{2777}\approx -0.48$

Thus, second best performance in Half Yearly Sales Performance is of 1½ ton WACs.

Hence, option (c).
