- AThe share of sacks damaged was highest in the month in which the greatest number of sacks was received
- BThe share of sacks damaged fell month by month from January to May
- CFewer sacks arrived damaged in each month than in the month before it
- DThe month with the greatest number of damaged sacks was not the month with the greatest share of arrivals damaged
Step-by-Step Solution
The shares are 5, 6, 4, 7 and 5 per cent. May has the most damaged sacks at 45, yet April has the highest share at 7 per cent, so the two peaks fall in different months. March took the largest intake and had the lowest share, which sinks the first option; the shares run 5, 6, 4, 7, 5 rather than downward; and the damaged counts run 40, 36, 40, 35, 45, which is not a month-by-month fall.
Answer: D) The month with the greatest number of damaged sacks was not the month with the greatest share of arrivals damaged
