Answer 1

Calculation:

Percentage of E/A (2007) = \(\frac{9}{(15 + 12 + 10 + 8+ 9) }\times 100 =\frac{9}{54}\) x 100 = 16.67 %

Percentage of E/A (2008) = \(\frac{12}{(10 + 10 + 13 + 12 + 12) }\times 100 =\frac{ 12}{57}\) x 100 = 21.05 %

Percentage of E/A (2009) = \(\frac{18}{(25 + 10 + 12 + 19 + 18)}\times 100 = \frac{18}{84}\) x 100 = 21.42 %

Percentage of E/A (2010) = \(\frac{12}{(12 + 18 + 13 + 12 + 12)}\times 100 = \frac{12}{67}\) x 100 = 17.91 %

Percentage of E/A (2011) = \(\frac{14}{(19 + 12 + 12 + 14 + 14)}\times 100 = \frac{14}{71}\) x 100 = 19.71 %

Percentage of E/A (2012) = \(\frac{15}{(15 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 15) }\times 100 = \frac{15}{72}\) x 100 = 20.83 %

The percentage of type E cars sold out of the total number of cars sold was minimum in 2007 year.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2).
