The total amount of bonus paid by the company during the given period is approximately what percentage of the total amount of salary paid during this period? (Rounded off to the nearest integer.)

Correct option is D

Concept Used:

Percentage =

$$\left( \frac{\text{Total Bonus}}{\text{Total Salary}} \right) \times 100$$​

From the table, the bonuses paid each year are:

2010: 3.84

2011: 3.68

2012: 3.00

2013: 2.52

2014: 3.96

Total Bonus Paid = 3.84 + 3.68 + 3.00 + 2.52 + 3.96 = 17.00 Lakh Rs.

The salaries paid each year are:

2010: 310

2011: 324

2012: 338

2013: 346

2014: 410

Total Salary Paid = 310 + 324 + 338 + 346 + 410 = 1728 Lakh Rs.

Percentage = $$\left( \frac{17.00}{1728} \right) \times 100 \approx 0.983 \%$$ 

= 1%
