Hi Rudresh_S

The question is asking highest percentage increase in  vehicles in presvious year when chnaging from afternoon to evening. That is trucks..which almost doubled 80-150. The second table is irrelevant for this question.

Rudresh_S · Answer

Thank you, I understand now! I believe that explains what I solved.

From afternoon to evening:
- Cars increased by 33%
- Bikes increased by 50%
- Buses increased by 24%
- Trucks increased by 87%

I got confused because of the table provided.

Second question took me awhile to figure out what it's actually asking about...Is there a wording problem with the 2nd question? Or it's just me..

DUMDUM21 · Answer

how is the second part Bike? shouldn't it be cars?

Priyanshu_57 · Answer

For second question, we need to calculate morning vehicle percentage for each vehicle type. This is a lot of calculation. How one can do this long calculation in exam where time is constrained?
Could someone please suggest?
