Went through this with a teacher a dew days ago, but forgot what she said. only that it was a trick question, and at her personal development day, alot of business studies teachers complained about it and didnt like it.

 

[trololo]

Because market share went from 10% to 6% which is 4% less.

 

[RealiseNothing]

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.

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.
