Option 1: 2011
Option 2: 2007
Option 3: 2010
Option 4: 2008
Correct Answer: 2007
Solution :
The percentage of type E cars sold out of the total number of cars sold in 2007
= $\frac{9}{15+12+10+8+9}$ × 100 = 16.67%
The percentage of type E cars sold out of the total number of cars sold in 2008
= $\frac{12}{10+10+13+12+12}$ × 100 = 21.05%
The percentage of type E cars sold out of the total number of cars sold in 2009
= $\frac{18}{25+10+12+19+18}$ × 100 = 21.42%
The percentage of type E cars sold out of the total number of cars sold in 2010
= $\frac{12}{12+18+13+12+12}$ × 100 = 17.91%
The percentage of type E cars sold out of the total number of cars sold in 2011
= $\frac{14}{19+12+12+14+14}$ × 100 = 19.71%
The percentage of type E cars sold out of the total number of cars sold in 2012
= $\frac{15}{15+14+14+14+15}$ × 100 = 20.83%
So, the percentage of type E cars sold out of the total number of cars sold was minimal in 2007.
Hence, the correct answer is 2007.
