Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Executive

Elegance sells at Rs. 48, Smooth at Rs. 63, Soft at Rs. 78 and Executive at Rs. 173 per piece.

From the table,

Number of Elegance razor sold in a year = 27300 + 25222 + 28976 + 21012 = 102510

Number of Smooth razor sold in a year = 20009 + 19392 + 22429 + 18229 = 80059

Number of Soft razor sold in a year = 17602 + 18445 + 19544 + 16595 = 72186

Number of Executive razor sold in a year = 9999 + 8942 + 10234 + 10109 = 39284

Revenue earned by selling Elegance razor = 102510 × 48 = Rs. 4920480

Revenue earned by selling Smooth razor = 80059 × 63 = Rs. 5043717

Revenue earned by selling Soft razor = 72186 × 78 = Rs. 5630508

Revenue earned by selling Executive razor = Rs. 6796132

Thus, Executive razor contributes the greatest fraction to the revenue of the company in that year.
