Question:

The difference in the average percentage increase in revenues, from 4^th to 6^th year, of Yahoo and Facebook is:

Explanation:

Revenue of Yahoo in 2006 = 1200

Revenue of Yahoo in 2004 = 250

So, percentage increase = (950/250) × 100 = 380

Average percentage increase = 380/2 = 190

Revenue of Facebook in 2006 = 2000

Revenue of Facebook in 2004 = 350

So, percentage increase = (1650/350) × 100 = 235.71

So, percentage difference in both the values =

[(235.71 – 190)/190] × 100 = 24.05

None of the options are less than 35%,so the question is incorrect.

However, “None of the above” is not one of the given options and hence we will have to take the option closest to 24.05 as the correct answer.

Hence, option (a).
