#doesntevendobusinessFor country C:
Star Car sale's were 10million in both 2010 and 2011. However the % of the total car market was 10% in 2010 and 8% in 2011.
So if 10million is 10% in 2010 then the total car market is 100million.
If 10million is only 8% now in 2011, then the total car market is 125million.
So the total car market has increased for country C. Also Star Car's sales went from 10% to 8%, so they decreased for country C.
Hence the answer is D.
Why is the answer not B?
In country A, yes it is true that Star Car sale's increased from 10% to 12%. However consider the total market:
In 2010, 10million was 10%, so total car market is 100million in 2010.
In 2011, 12million was 12%, so total car market is still 100million in 2011.
So the total car market in fact has not increased, but stayed the same.
oh yeh..For country C:
Star Car sale's were 10million in both 2010 and 2011. However the % of the total car market was 10% in 2010 and 8% in 2011.
