Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
First, calculate the total number of EVs sold each month using the cumulative percentages. Total EVs = 2400. Till May: 25% of 2400 = 600. Till June: 41% of 2400 = 984.
Total EVs sold in June = 984 - 600 = 384. Red EVs sold in June = Cumulative till June (456) - Cumulative till May (360) = 96. White EVs in June = Total June - Red June = 384 - 96 = 288.
Red EVs sold in August = Cumulative till Aug (1032) - Cumulative till July (816) = 216.
Difference = White EVs in June (288) - Red EVs in August (216) = 72.
