Answers and explanations

1-6:

In the beginning, please note that all the pie charts add up to hundred, so the shares given are
the per cent shares. Apollos share in all segments is 8.3% in 1995-96 = Rs 1245 crore.

Total sales in 1995-96 = (1245) (100)/8.3 = Rs 15000 crore;

Apollos share in car segment is 5.2% = Rs 208 crore.

Total sales in car segment = (208) (100)/5.2 = Rs 4000 crore;

Total sales in trucks & buses segment = 40% of total sales = (40) (15000)/100 = Rs 6000 crore;
Total sales in two- & three-wheeler segment = (15000 - 4000 - 6000) = Rs 5000 crore.

1. 2; Apollos sales in two- & three-wheeler segment = (1.5) (5000) / 100 = Rs 75 crore.

2. 1; Sales in the truck & bus segment exceeded that in the car segment by = (6000 - 4000) (100)/
(4000) = 50% .
3. 4; Apollos sales in truck & bus segment = 16% of 6000 = Rs 960 crore.
Ceats sales in two- and three-wheeler segment = 16.9% of 5000 = Rs. 845 crore.
Ceats sales in car segment = 21.3% of 4000 = Rs. 852 crore.
Modi Rubber sales in all segments = 8.3% of 15000 = Rs 1245 crore
Among the above, Modi Rubber sales in all segments is the maximum.
4. 3; MRF sales in truck & bus segment = (6000) (17)/(100) = Rs 1020 crore.
5. 1; Apollos sales in 1994-95 = (1245)/(1.25) = Rs 996 crore.
6. 2; 18.7% is the overall share of Car segment and Two- and Three-Wheeler segment. Therefore as
per the method of alligation discussed in theory part:
18.7% is the weighted mean of 21.3% and 16.9% .
